Teaching children Bitcoin is not in vain

[Kaliandra]

This is not the first time topics about "teaching children Bitcoin" appear. My vision is let children be children. It is better to give them overall proper education and upbringing, then forcing them to learn Bitcoin. If a child wants to be a singer, why should he learn about Bitcoin? If a child has an interest in electronics, gadgets, finances, he will find out about Bitcoin himself. If Bitcoin gets mass adopted, the knowledge about it will come by itself.

The motives of most of people who wants to teach their kids about Bitcoin is financial, but not technology or possibilities. They want their kids to invest as early as possible, to learn how to double money. Because "if they invest now and earn more, they would afford to have more in future". I think if the kid has money to buy candy or a toy, let him do it, and it is parents duty to earn more to have their kids have tomorrow more than they have today.

I think so
because what I know, childhood is
time to play and learn.
so if the childhood must be filled with playing and learning.

but of course there is nothing wrong if someone teaches about btc to children, but there is no element of coercion.

but of course teaching children to invest in btc from an early age is a good thing because when they grow up they will be more profitable.
know about btc

In 2009 and 2010, Bitcoin was in its primary stage and many people knew nothing about it, so many were not able to invest.  Bitcoin is very popular now.But everything has its compatibility whether it is age or knowledge.  Children are being taught about Bitcoin and mostly children who are ten years old and above but it will never have a positive effect.Bitcoin is not for children, Bitcoin is for adults.  Who understand about its function. A child will never understand and handle the function of Bitcoin properly. I don't think it will help to develop massively.It is not the right age to teach children about money.  Since Bitcoin has risks, it would be even more risky for children.

Almost everything we struggle and do in this life balls down to earning money but unfortunately financial education is not included and taught in our school system. Financial literacy is very important aspect of our life that the government neglects and the resultant effect is that people graduate from school and are still asking how to earn money. Parents needs to fill in this vacuum by helping in educating our children at home and the best time for children to get financial education is during their teenage age 13 years and above. And when it comes to teaching children about Bitcoin starting from age 15 makes a whole lot of sense because it will hhelp them become more experienced as time goes on than when they started late.

Yes everyone should get knowledge about all those ways which are good in order to give you more profit so whenever a person  cannot involve in one way so he will surely join the other way but if he Don't have any idea then how he will select his path of success?

There are lots of people who just earn to make the life of their children Easy but they don't give any idea to their children that how to earn and how to manage life expenses so whenever their children grew up they are unable to earn and make their lives satisfied. It is important to tell their children about any field may be its bitcoin or something else but remember that teaching about bitcoin is one of the interesting and beneficial way so children will easily get it.

Bitcoin is digital currency that is being widespread almost all the continent, and some people notice the development of Bitcoin very late, and it enables some people not to invest in Bitcoin in far back 2009 and 2010. Therefore i noticed that teaching children of Bitcoin in early stage and mostly children that is up to ten years and above, inculcating the functions and the importance of Bitcoin in children will make them to develop widely with the knowledge being inculcates with them already. I think that Bitcoin is good to be known from youthful age. I have noticed that assuming so many of us notice the important of Bitcoin in time we would have all be a partial millionaire if I'm not mistaken of being a full millionaire.

I think that there is abundance of vicious information on the internet. The main problem is the protection of childrens' minds from bad content. Bad content includes not only "restricted sites", but also demonstration of bad lifestyle in the content, which is not marked as "prohibited". None of the main search engines nor main streaming platforms provide protection from these things. So I think we should protect children from aggressive content first, it's better not to let them use Internet alone at all.

A child will never understand and handle the function of Bitcoin properly. I don't think it will help to develop massively.It is not the right age to teach children about money.  Since Bitcoin has risks, it would be even more risky for children.

Bitcoin is a strong project whose sole purpose is to provide the market with a high level of volatility and liquidity. Traders trade bitcoin with the primary goal of generating higher earnings from the space; educating our children on bitcoin has a positive impact on the children; they know how to earn money online, and we must not neglect to inform them on everything they need to know about the space.  Bitcoin is a risky project, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't raise awareness about it among our children. It's preferable to teach our kids the operation of the crypto market ourselves rather than allowing them to grow into adults and learn about it from the public or their peers, which they may end up staying at the wrong path.

Economic crises in countries are already leading societies to have information in the field of financial literacy. It has become a necessity. Many people who are dissatisfied with their income are trying to learn to improve themselves. We can teach kids about bitcoin and many economics. At least they grow up to be economically prone individuals. They then become familiar with the situation when they encounter something in this type of economy.

Those who are dissatisfied with their income are not only trying to lean to improve themselves but they are also looking for alternative ways to earn more money.  In this case, Bitcoin had greatly help in supplementing day job either with trading or offering service that pay in Bitcoin.

As usual, when the engagement with bitcoin is productive, it is not a waste to teach the method to kids who are 14 and above of age since they have an understanding of things happening around them.  And in just one cycle of the Bitcoin market, these kids will be considered as of legal age and can participate in global economic activities.  So teaching them about Bitcoin and enriching their knowledge until the get to legal age is an advantage for them in terms of finding a source of income.

If you want your children to grow up to be economically prone individuals, we should focus on teaching them about finance, not just bitcoin. Because bitcoin is not the only asset that can get rich, and the future of bitcoin is still uncertain.  in my opinion, teaching them about finance, economics, and then bitcoin would be more complete and complete than just focusing on bitcoin or cryptocurrencies.  it would be a big mistake to teach them only bitcoin and not finance.

I also support bitcoin education for children. However, as you said, bitcoin is related to money, and it is very easy to harm children if we are negligent and not really serious about imparting knowledge to children. Education about finance and bitcoin also needs to be educated at the right age, not indiscriminately taught. I find it ridiculous that many people applaud and support teaching bitcoin to 4- and 5-year-olds.

Yep. It is not necessary to teach children below 5 years about Bitcoin investment. Children 4-5 years old prefer to learn about common things around our environment, it is not the right time to learn about finance or investment. At least, they are already in Senior High school, at this age they have the ability to understand more serious things such as investment, finance, money management, etc. Sure, learning our children about Bitcoin is okay as long as we teach them about it at a proper age.

[Sexylizzy2813]

I find it ridiculous that many people applaud and support teaching bitcoin to 4- and 5-year-olds. I suspect those people don't have children and don't know how to raise them. How can a child who can't read and write know how to use bitcoin? Will there be any positive impact, or is it just wasting our time?

The teaching of Bitcoin to 4-5yrs is really a waste of time, is like talking to someone whom you know can't respond to what you'd understand or talking to a dump person and expect him or she to say something you'd understand. No knowledge is a waste but I Don't support the teaching of Bitcoin to that age bracket (4-5yrs) because their brain can not comprehend any of such you say to them.

Well it would be rare to find kids who want to learn Bitcoin at a young age I guess, since they prefer like video games, school, sports, etc. we should know what our kids love because it will help them find what their passion is. I'm supporting if a kid wants to learn Bitcoin or cryptocurrency but I should keep attention to his mind too if he has a greedy mindset then I will recommend he focus in his school first.

[HajiBagi]

Bitcoin will also help children to value money I believe. Because of what I experienced before when I started to learn about Bitcoin, I started to become responsible for my money just like how to value your money, how you track your expenses, investment and deep more into the financial system we have now, trying to understand and connecting the dots because if you want to learn Bitcoin, you will somehow encounter some of these.

I believe that learning how to value money is the most important lesson to learn since, regardless of how much you know about bitcoin, your money is useless if you don't appreciate it. Children need to learn about bitcoin, especially in the modern world when having money is necessary. Due to the fact that not everyone will be wealthy or have a lot of money, we occasionally need to teach our children and young ones about bitcoin.
Even while education is crucial in life, it will be beneficial if we learn how to live independently because no one can predict what the future will bring.

[Litzki1990]

If any student above 15 years is interested in Bitcoin then he should be helped in this regard. Because along with education he can develop a good idea about investing in Bitcoin which will be very useful when he invests later. In addition to studying textbooks in various schools and colleges, if extra parts are given about these subjects, then every student will be able to support himself a lot in career formation along with education. But I think it's better not to discuss bitcoin or investment with minors because minors who never think about making any decision are very likely to make mistakes so it's better to discuss this with someone who is a bit more mature.

Teaching children about Bitcoin at an early stage can indeed be beneficial in terms of increasing their awareness and understanding of digital currencies. By introducing the functions and importance of Bitcoin to children, they may develop a broader perspective and knowledge that can potentially benefit them in the future. While it's true that early adopters of Bitcoin have experienced significant financial gains, it's important to note that investing in Bitcoin or any other asset comes with risks and uncertainties. Educating children about the concepts and potential of Bitcoin can help them navigate the evolving digital landscape and make informed decisions when they are older.

What is "at an early stage" for you? Until 6-7, while they are in kindergarten it will be a waste of time to teach something like to them. They barely know what money are. First grades arent best age to teach them either, because they focus on learning basics, and cryptocurrency isnt basic knowledge. Children are focus on playing games, having fun, learning is a big "no" for most of them, as this isnt "cool".

To get kids to learn Bitcoin it would be a not so good thing with the time that it should be playing for them. but you have to learn in general about what Bitcoin is and how Bitcoin works with their understanding. but if your child wants to invest from a small age why not.

But the training in cryptocurrencies and bitcoin should go after the course on the standard explanation of linear finance and assets. The key concepts of financial literacy should be disclosed.
I think so because bitcoin is a risky asset, and you can't immediately teach tracking about it. After all, cryptocurrencies are not a revolutionary technology for everyone, for many it is just a speculative tool. And in this speculation, the one who knows little is the prey for whales.

But I don't think many people know it, most of the comments are exaggerating bitcoin and like they are treating bitcoin as their god. We cannot yet confirm whether bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are the financial revolution, as it is too early to draw that conclusion. But so far, cryptocurrencies and bitcoin are speculative and financial markets with winners and losers. I really don't see any benefit in teaching bitcoin to kids, as they have more important things to learn. Bitcoin gives very good returns, but that doesn't mean everyone who knows bitcoin will become rich or an entrepreneur.

know about btc

Yes, that's right, because basically they are in the growth stage of their life process, and in a line that is still reasonable in the sense that there is no element of force here, because in general their level of development is not all the same, although this is a very good thing with teach what Bitcoin is to children, but from a positive perspective and the impact that will be received will certainly be big, when they start doing it so that it moves to teenagers and even adults later.
