Funny how all the people her talk about how their children will become rich if you teach them about bitcoin. Bitcoin is a currency, do you know what a currency is? A currency is something that is used as an exchange medium for goods and services, nothing more. If you plan to buy bitcoin just for the value increase that may happen in the next years you are simply a gambler because nobody knows what will happen.
So teach your kids about bitcoin so they can use it to be free of state surveillance and can have a decentralized way to store their wealt. But please don’t teach them about bitcoin so they will rich.
There is something wrong about the way that you are describing what bitcoin is and/or what you should teach or should not teach.
If you teach your kids that there are certain kinds of assets that are more valuable and others that are less valuable, and that with bitcoin the value of saving has come back, so in that sense if anyone is attempting to build wealth (or even to use currencies), and they may well figure out that if they spend their less valuable currencies (and assets) first and thereby end up saving bitcoin and stacking sats with their remaining (extra income), then the value of their savings has good chances of increasing with the passage of time and especially in the longer term...
So whether or not the long term saver and hodler and responsible spender is ready, willing and able to save and build his/her bitcoin stash, there are possibilities that such bitcoin savers/accumulators will be better off than they would be if they had not included bitcoin into their savings/investing plans.
None of us know these kinds of future outcomes, but it still seems that there should be meaningful, genuine and age-appropriate attempts to teach various aspects of these kinds of bitcoin-related ideas and values, including being able to distinguish the differences between bitcoin and shitcoins and not to get lured into shitcoins... even if they are still going to have some of their own decisions to make, it still seems better to teach values including that shitcoins do not tend to add much if any value to the world, especially in comparison to bitcoin and especially in terms of needing to know bitcoin first, even before dabbling into shitcoins, if they or anyone else happens to be tempted into such mostly nonsense areas that are bitcoin-adjacent (or bitcoin affinity scams) at best.
For the future of our children, we must teach them about bitcoin. In order to be successful in life, it is necessary not to be late for some things. I discovered bitcoin late, but I learned fast and I continue to learn. We must teach this world to future generations. In order to be prepared for anything, they must first obtain their economic freedom. For this, they need to know what an investment is. After learning about the investment, they will understand the value of Bitcoin more. We must teach our children before it's too late.
You touched on a very valid topic, thank you.
You are not late flyingcarpet. Many people believe that they are late, and then sometimes then are lured into FOMO or panic.. so there should be no reason to panic, so long as you do the best with the information that you have and get started with your investing into bitcoin as soon as possible, planning around such bitcoin investing and continuing to attempt to learn about various aspects of bitcoin - including sharing knowledge with the so many people who are low coiners, no coiners, precoiners, and who still have not begun much if any efforts to invest into bitcoin (time, energies and value).
Of course, there should be no reason to over do any of your approach to bitcoin, and attempt to pace yourself in order that you do not end up making mistakes that cause you to lose large portions of any bitcoin that you might have had stacked along the way... but at the same time, realizing that almost no matter what some mistakes are going to be made and there are ways to attempt to learn from mistakes even if some times some of the mistakes might end up repeating.. and we grow from mistakes, even if we might not intend to be making them.. but they are nearly inevitable kind of things that happen in all areas of life, including bitcoin-related areas.

I believe these are amazing concepts and it is not the only and last one. I am sure there is much more to come and that is actually what I talk about when people ask me about Bitcoin. Sure, they also ask me whether they can still become rich. But a good answer is that if they listened to what Bitcoin could actually be able to incentivize and facilitate, they could make their own educated guess after doing some more studying.
Yes, many times no coiners, precoiners and even low coiners will conjecture that some of us bitcoin-focused people sound like nutjobs - because we might even be suggesting that a paradigm-shifting invention(discovery) like bitcoin expands the kinds of value that is even possible, so if we might consider that the world's monetizable value is around $1 quadrillion in today's dollars, it is quite possible that we might even consider that the world's monetizable value (not even including inflation into that because referring to "today's dollars") may well be expanded 10x or more, merely because such a paradigm shifting concept such as bitcoin has been invented/discovered and put into practice... we live in some lucky times to have bitcoin, even though surely there may well be some disadvantages to it too.. just like fire, electricity, the ability to composite steel, the automobile, the plane, the light bulb the internet and/or the wheel might have some disadvantages to them also, but they (individually and as combined in various ways) also increased the various ways that value creation became possible after their inventions/discoveries.
