AN INTERESTING WAY TO INTRODUCE BITCOIN LEARNING TO OUR FUTURE GENERATION

[Oilacris]

People can learn about Bitcoin in different ways.For example, if someone comes to me to learn about Bitcoin, then I give him a good knowledge about Bitcoin.I think the best approach would be if the school taught something about this bitcoin.If boys are introduced to this from an early age, then one day people will know better about Bitcoin.They will either learn about Bitcoin as Out Knowledge so they will be able to move forward in the future.

Depends on what the curriculum would really be teaching on whether they would be emphasizing its cons or would be into its pros or in a balanced manner.No matter what angle we do see then its really

good to have that early engagement or learning about bitcoin or cryptocurrencies on a young age but of course it would vary on how it would be teach up.

Lets just hope that institutions like schools/universities would really be teaching the right way.

As for the kids, honestly, they are hard to educate about bitcoins except for a few of them who have already learned about a few things about cryptocurrencies. Originally they are only interested in playing games and if they were engaged in playing NFT games then the task is easy for us because they already have an idea of what we are talking about. But if they have knowledge about it then you need to start from scratch and find some logical explanations that will digest by their little minds.

I am a teacher by profession and think of this interesting action plan to teach the concept of Bitcoin to our primary kids (10-11) in their early stages.
Interesting way to get kids closer to bitcoin learning by introducing them to bitcoin wallet rather than the concept of ‘piggy bank’.

It would be easy for them to correlate to bitcoin as a new type of digital money.

We parent then find it easy to teach them the concept of bitcoin and decentralization in a simpler way with the help of realistic examples.
Once they understand, they can start collecting Bitcoin all by themselves at the permissible age by doing tasks or work they would realize its potential.

This would be a start to teaching kids the power of decentralization and accumulation which will increase its value over the time and will also help parents in inculcating the habit of managing good financial behavior and being financially independent at an early age.

This is pretty cool to hear.  I'm curious which subject exactly do you teach? I'm guessing perhaps finance? I don't think I ever had a finance class in high school to be honest, and I think it's an absolute shame.  What you're doing here is something all students should learn, finance basics, as well as decentralized cryptocurrencies/bitcoin.  Schools are so often focused on too many things kids will never retain or use in the "real world"..this is something different.  Well done.

We need two things as common practice if this method to be effective.

First of all when a kid get the bitcoin only if their parents holds bitcoin and wallet then only we can talk about parent giving Bitcoin to their kids to save them on their own wallet instead of piggy bank concept.

Then bitcoin should be accessible like buy and sell for the minors but now most of the exchange doesn't allow them to do.

If I was a kid in primary school, this is how I would love to learn about Bitcoin. Start first with colourful visualizations and illustrations about Bitcoin. They say a picture tells a thousand words. These visualizations and illustrations may come in a hardcopy or softcopy format. Kids love colourful pictures and this is were you'd pique my interest. Remember, first impression matters.

Illustrations are usually the best way to teach almost everyone and not just kids. When you create something as an illustration, and people get to look at the picture, it sticks faster to their head and it wouldn’t be something that they would forget easily. So, this is definitely the best way to teach them.

If you should just make use of words to teach them, some of them would even forget it right at this point, but by using an illustration, and them looking at the pictures, it would be something that would stick to their head and they would be able to remember it every time.

Thanks for supporting the idea.
I think the activity - BITCOINS LIKE GOOD DEEDS could help kids have a concrete understanding of decentralization and bitcoin.
Bitcoin is like the gold stars children get for good deeds in the class. Let’s say the teacher makes one kid in charge of keeping a tally in her personal notebook of how many gold stars each student has.

Others in class grow uncomfortable with this…is she giving herself more gold stars? She was absent the day I got my gold star, was it recorded? What if she loses that notebook in the schoolyard?
So, You all decide to change the system from keeping records by one person (centralized) to everyone (decentralized).

Everyone takes out their notebooks and copies down her account of the class’ gold stars. From now on EVERYONE in the class writes down when someone gets a gold star.

Now everyone has their own record of truth and no one can cheat and give themselves more gold stars because when their amount is compared to what everyone else has recorded then it will be proven as a faulty star.

This is the principle behind bitcoin, it is an archive of actions that is spread across thousands of computers so that it is near impossible to tamper with the information.

Introducing a digital wallet can be possible, and I think it's more accurate than a piggy bank, but from my experience with kids this age (I worked as a school teacher as well), they get bored and distracted fast unless they perceive it as a game. Do you have positive experience of keeping their focus on the matter, of keeping them engaged when discussing (practicing?) digital wallets?
My school subject with them was logic, and I didn't introduce Bitcoin, but I think I would do it via ciphers (there are various tasks for kids that involve deciphering information, and from my experience kids like it). Giving them tasks with different principles, and then explaining that there are such tasks that take so much effort to solve that it would take a couple of hundreds of years to crack a pass phrase.

Kids around the age of 10 or 11 should find it easy to understand opening bank accounts in today's generation. Some of them may even have it already. I think that's better start than using piggy bank analogy since the process is done electronically. They also know about downloading apps for their social media and they shouldn't have a problem downloading bitcoin wallets on their mobile.

It's not quite good, at that age they should be guided by their parents.
And also, educating them about Bitcoin is a good idea but I think it's also in storing Bitcoin, and mobile wallets aren't a perfect place to hold Bitcoin, it should always be on a hardware wallet.

I like the OP's plan, sounds good and interesting but I think, it's good if for educational purposes only, understand the basic information on this technology and how it will work, and its usage on it.  That's it and there's no financial investment involved.

IMO, it should be 18 years old or above is the right way to teach them and introduce Bitcoin, 10 or 11 isn't the right age, they're still young at that age.

18? Really? Get with the times since things are different now. Kids today are more technologically advanced and learns faster since a lot of information are available online. Learning about mobile wallets and using it to experience sending a few sats will be a piece of cake to them.

which will increase its value over the time and will also help parents in inculcating the habit of managing good financial behavior and being financially independent at an early age.

We shouldn't be teaching this, because it isn't exactly true. We could teach that Bitcoin is deflationary by design, but that doesn't mean it'll keep increasing in value, since it depends on the demand for it. Although, I don't think that's something that children necessarily need to learn. There's far more important things for children to learn than money, they've got their entire lives to think, and learn about money. It would be more appropriate in my mind to teach them the very fundamentals, but don't go too much into depth, which to be honest fiat is better for that since it's less complex. When they become teenagers, that's when they can look at what inflation/deflation is, and all of that mumbo jumbo.

[BitcoinPanther]

learning to value the money handed to them as they study from grade school to high school. economics will be a good subject for them to learn first.

We can always integrate Bitcoin while teaching economics to these kids.  It is way better to make them understand Bitcoin is like money.

True that, teaching Kids in this age range is challenging because they are more focused on entertainment than having financial independence.  So the challenging task would be how to keep their interest on the new subject matter called Bitcoin.

Hello, teacher.
You work as a teacher, you should teach students according to the curriculum and subjects at school, Bitcoin is digital currency, not good, teach and introduce children in school too early with money, what they need is knowledge, about school subject matter, and don't mix them with digital currency.

I think there is no harm in integrating Bitcoin concept on the curriculum but it should be done carefully not to disrupt the learnings of these kids or deviate from the intended subject matters(curriculum).

Students or children should stay away from all these things. Because if you are a little adult, learning all these things will not be a problem.If they are told about this bitcoin as a child, then they will become addicted to this bitcoin and their education will be damaged.That's why I say that although everyone should know about Bitcoin, it is not before a certain age.

Thank you for taking the time to read and appreciate the thought behind it.
children who can grasp the concept of decentralization and bitcoin at a young age will have an easier time adopting bitcoin and following up with digital currency in the future.
However, given the great volatility and other risks, such as the lack of crypto rules and regulations, it is also critical to ensure that child is aware of the safety concerns.

Yes that could be part of their learning but you can prioritize on what should they learn first. The focus should probably be on the experience and then security. It's important that they learn the basic process before telling them about investment related stuffs.

^ Everything should they learn not only the positive side of BTC.
From the cons and pros, the dos and the don'ts, all of them should be absorbed into their mind. Because dealing with BTC is a very risky part, especially investment, you will never know where the price goes either it will up or down. I like the way of making improvements, maybe the future generations will discover a lot more about BTC technology or the blockchain technology behind it and probably teach them how this code work and how possible be useful in the future is a great way to have a further development waiting ahead.

Everything should be balance and its a must because you cant just focus on telling about its positive because there would be always accompanied with the risk involved and we know all of that.
Explaining to someone about the basics or introducing something which they havent been heard of is something really that hard to believe on but be sure when you do make out some explanation
then stick out with the basics for them to easily understand.Dont focus on investment opportunity or chances because people would most likely ending up on having
those money making expectations.

Well I can agree to a certain extent but perhaps you are forgetting that you're trying to educate 10 to 11 year old kids. Yes they can be fast learners with the help of technology and may understand savings as I've pointed out already but do you really think they could understand the concept of market volatility and other risks involved in investments? They can learn all of that later on. What I'm trying to point out is what areas should be prioritized.

This may be a good effort, but you also need to tell them that this is only a choice, not an obligation that must be done. Moreover they are also still under their parents, so it will also depend on how parents will allow them or not.
Tell Bitcoin in general is actually good and not worng. But if we are suggesting to invest or collect Bitcoin instead of piggy bank, well, I am not sure about this because we seems like promsing them with some guarantee. WHile crypto is voilatile and risky and they may not be ready with that.

I think present days preteens are far superior to what we think about them, they must have heard about bitcoin and would be eager to start off with further learning and exploring of the same all by themselves. So we are like good mentors who can guide them about the usage of bitcoin currency. So they will not end up in a mess and can get into trouble. As we know lack of information always leads us nowhere.

Exactly. The government for sure will interfere here, they will first identify if it is good because as we all know Bitcoin is somehow complex especially for other people who are not that techy.
Bitcoin and investment-related stuff must be separated, if Bitcoin only likes how it works, how the transaction works, balance, etc. will be really complex.

About bitcoin two things are certain -
Its prices are volatile and those who have had these assets for more than 3 years have a chance to make money because bitcoin has a history of rewarding patience and perseverance.
Second, while the future is uncertain, new possibilities are clearly emerging in the bitcoin area. We can't predict it for sure, but there's a chance that bitcoin will play a larger role in the future. An investment in bitcoin is a wager which will not vanish. (And, thus far, Bitcoin has resisted regulation, and media criticism admirably).

This is interesting! I never thought about it as I am not a teacher. In my opinion this is not a good idea as you need first  parents permission and then only could explain it to the kids. I think you need to first check with them and then decide how you need to introduce Bitcoin. It is still a long journey you can think of different ideas as a teacher.
