A 3 year old just asked me for the wifi password

I've convinced toddlers to play video games and how to read basic words, you can show them a lot if your willing to put in the time, I'll even have them doing simple math, because the games they play demand it.

Wait till this is fully developed: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=431248.0 For punishment, parents will be able to set how many blocks their kids need to mine before they're able to play their favorite game. During the entire time, the kid will see some game (read advert) they desire to have and how many blocks are left to quarry before it's paid for and shipped to their door, ergo punishment time is over, yet the kid's still quarrying away hours later about to reach their goal.

Pretty powerful concept, eh?

You read it here second.

That is nothing. I have seen a browser made by a two year old boy. 

Wow hey were you serious about it I can't imagine a 2 year even writing it national language and here you are talking about a 2 year coding :O

Our kids will want Bitcoin and laugh at currency.

They will laugh at how stupid we were before Bitcoin.

HA HA HA

well kids are smart.

As we were kids and I had C-64 my father even didn't knew how to run a game
And I was recording my first app made in basic on a tape

Kids are like a sponge. Put a sponge on a water It is like kids Give a kid a computer.

I remember hearing about this kid who got into bitcoin when he was 14 cause he was trying to find a new way to pay for WoW gold without using his parents credit card.

So this kid started mining at 14, after a while forgot about it and stopped playing WoW too, realised later he had still saved up the btc when he started hearing it in the news. This was around the same time he turned 18 and sold off 2000 coins, nice way to start your life.

Older people also tell me that smartphones are a bad thing and that I should stay away from them.

First it's your wifi password, then it's your Bitcoin private keys. . .

nice kiddo. kids nowadays are really advance when it comes to technology.

And I don't know if that is a good sign. Too much technology since the day they were born and one power surge will make them hopeless. You should not depend on technology too much in my opinion.

You realize that bitcoin is currency right?  Doesn't matter if bitcoin lasts or not, there will always be some form of currency.

Human greed will screw up bitcoin just like it has with fiat. It already is.  Something new will come along and people will consider bitcoin just as stupid.

Technology is getting faster and faster each day.

[honestgo]

[Xona]

Wifi is a basic criteria it seems  ,bitcoin still needs allot of steps to reach that level of public interest, though!

Moderation is key. I am definitely against the modern obsession with trying to make sure that kids are "never bored". TV/PC/Consoles at home, video screens in the car, smart-phones and hand-held game systems everywhere else; it's ridiculous. Developmentally, it is very important that kids get bored from time to time.
