Teaching children Bitcoin is not in vain

[KiaKia]

Teaching your kids everything you know about money is not going to be in vain, I believe that teaching them how to make money in today's world will give you more peace of mind instead of waiting om them to figure things out, if you have smart kids they can do better than you and this will get you happier.

Children are here to surpass us and to get better than us, I will do the same and I will give them vital information that no one ever told me when I was trying to hard to find a way to make money in crypto, because my parents job are so outdated and useless right now, I believe there is more future in the crypto and the technology, technology is the future.

Of course, it is not unreasonable to teach children about Bitcoin, the use of Bitcoin, the growing demand for the future of Bitcoin, etc. I think discussion on Bitcoin, topical discussion should be included in primary and secondary education level. If a child can learn about Bitcoin in addition to other education at an early age then this little child of today will become very experienced on Bitcoin in the future.  Moreover, countries where Bitcoin has been legalized should universally include a subject category on Bitcoin in the syllabus. All these subjects have already started to implement, for example EL Salvador has introduced education and courses on Bitcoin at the university level as well as higher education.

I support EL Salvador in bringing bitcoin education to the university level, but I would completely oppose and find it ridiculous that many people think bitcoin education for children under 10 years old. It's a waste of time and kills a child's future. How can they learn about bitcoin when they don't have any financial knowledge? Parents who support this, I guarantee that they are just investing in bitcoins blindly, they don't know the pros and cons of bitcoin.

Teaching children about Bitcoin and economic concepts is valuable because it promotes financial literacy, introduces them to emerging technologies, encourages entrepreneurial thinking and innovation, helps them understand legal and ethical considerations, and provides a global perspective. It empowers children, sparks curiosity, instills ethical values, and broadens their understanding of finance and the interconnectedness of the world. I am the person that thinks children have to be thought everything they will NEED in their lives: like basic math, some stuff about nature, health, economics, and so on. That's why I chose online tutoring as a side hustle because it pays pretty good as well as I make a significant contribution to the education of the younger generation.

Starting at an early age does give you an advantage at any platforms. But the ability of holding those knowledge in your head depends on your age or your bairn's capability. At the age of ten? I guess that's a bit too extreme.
But on the other hand, we recognize money from an early age, which is less than 10 years old. If we give the basic knowledge to those children, they might be able to get a hold on to the facts. When it comes to advance knowledge, they can learn them later on. The main focus should be to make them familiar with the concept. After that, their curious mind will do the rest. So from my POV, it is a great idea to have. By doing this, we may see a generation that will accept Bitcoin with their open arms.

Same here, it is better to have a curriculum that teaches Bitcoin so that there will be a standard education on Bitcoin.  This is one great marketing ploy because every student will be informed about Bitcoin, exposed to the economics of Bitcoin and also expose to the pros and cons of Bitcoin.  The only negative impact of the idea is that, when the curriculum created has errors, then all those students who were taught by this curriculum will have a misunderstanding of Bitcoin.

I have noticed a rapid improvement in the number of families enrolling their kids into tech institutes. In addition to the formal education, many parents are now sending their kids to learn specialised skills like coding, animation,  and others. I feel Blockchain technology should be included in this rank. The beauty of Blockchain technology and the Bitcoin is that it comes with the knowledge of investing, risk management and general financial management. Imagine learning this from a tender age! Children whose parents think in this direction are truly lucky and have no reason to fail.

This is a common idea in poor and developing countries wherein it tries to act at every opportunity unintelligently. This is also happening in my country. So what about people being late to buy those penny stocks that are now worth a lot? We're also going to teach our 10-year-old kids about stocks early then. Founders of social media applications and platforms like Facebook, Youtube, and Google turned its young founders into billionaires. So we're also going to teach our young kids about apps, social media, and programming?

Again, this doesn't make any sense. 10 years old is not even part of the youth, that is still a very very young kid who's supposed to play, and study the basics of education while exploring and discovering its natural gifts and skills.

for me that teaching is just for preparation for their mind and idea because we knew that children nowadays are having their great skills and knowledge in computer and internet in which they are the one who really the target of cryptocurrency.
so I also support that children must be told of crypto specially bitcoin no matter what age are they as long as they are ready to have understanding.

If they are too young, what do you need to prepare for them when they just want to have fun? Tell me when you were a kid, what did you want? You want to play your favorite games, watch your favorite cartoons... don't even want to go to school, so why would you force your child to do those things? Our society has evolved, children are smarter than our generation, but that doesn't mean they need to know about investing too soon. 10 year olds are even learning basic math, so teach them to invest bitcoin, what's the benefit here?

More importantly, do you have kids and have you ever talked to them and asked what they want?

I agree with you. Children are children, and such big responsibility and knowledge bomb should not be given to them at such a young age. We are already taking too much away from these kids, with rising expectations and pressure from the ever so competitive world that we live in. Let us not rush them in this case as well.

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.

Educating children early on the importance of money especially for bitcoin is a good thing but we don't always need to apply and teach children as if they need to know the knowledge.  Everyone was once a child, so they must understand that their brains cannot absorb too much difficult and dense financial knowledge. Although it is true that at this time they absorb knowledge very quickly, but it is only simple images or a few movies that catch their attention. So I will only teach when they want to learn and not try to force them to learn before they reach adulthood.

Dont forget that without usage, knowledge is partly valuable. It is good that we have time to teach and kids show interest in cryptocurrencies. But after they have learned what bitcoin and crypto is, would they use these knowledge? I believe as parents, we wont allow them to spend their funds on investing or let them trade. Then how else would they use what they have learned? Coding? Doubt that. Most of what they have learned, they would forget. So that is why I see no reason to load kids with knowledge they wont be able to use at their age. There are a lot of other things to learn at their age.

teaching children about bitcoin from an early age is a very effective way to create mass adoption in the future, children will surely become adults and when they grow up, they will use bitcoin very actively.  it's not difficult to teach children about bitcoin let alone learn while playing it can be applied to teach children blockchain technology, bitcoin and cryptocurrency.

but the problem is that the government currently in power in many countries is very skeptical about bitcoin, they are very afraid that the sovereignty of their currency will be shifted by bitcoin so bitcoin has not yet been included in the education curriculum.

[odunybiz]

Teaching children about Bitcoin is a nice thing because it will give them that grounded knowledge and understanding of Bitcoin before they come of age. From ten years is not bad at all at least before clocking eighteen the child will be alright.

I think we are in the computer age. Getting to know things right at the earliest stage is a great advantage for then to make it quick in the future. I observed from my environment that people who had started business earlier even when in school tend to make it easier that people who now started struggling with business after graduation in school. Starting earlier is a great opportunity for they as they grow up with the knowledge.

That's why I think it should depend on a specific age. For example, if a teenager or, let's say, a 12-year-old kid has exceptional thinking capabilities, I think they are the ones who are right to educate themselves about complex things like crypto or bitcoin. We know that not all young people are futuristic or ready to think about complex things such as cryptocurrency. Young people should enjoy their youth as long as they are young. Even if we want to teach them about that, it's up to them if they will absorb it or if they will be interested for a long time. Teaching them is a good idea, but we also need to remember that bitcoin or cryptocurrency is not for everyone. Let's not assume every child has the same interest. If I have a child, maybe I will just introduce bitcoin and guide them, but I will not force them to be interested in it.

Teaching children about crypto is certainly very good because they can understand how it works even though they don't have the time to try it yet because they are still too young to be able to make decisions about investing or trading. However, this will be knowledge for them if the child already has an income and can invest and trade because they already understand how to earn income from crypto. Every child certainly has different desires, some still have the desire to play and there are also those who can be taught about how to earn income from what they do, but we cannot force the child's desires so it is not good for them because they feel forced to do what they do. do.

It's clear that the idea of teaching younger people difficult topics, like bitcoin, has many sides. We cant make broad statements. Extraordinary cognitive skills do not mean that someone is ready or even interested. Now you want to talk to a 12-year-old about Bitcoin and the crypto world? Sure, if they show a desire, you should encourage it. But you're right that not all young minds are ready or even want to get into such complicated topics. Their childhood should be a time to explore, not a time when they have to learn.

It is a good idea to teach kids about Bitcoin's vastness and promise, but the choice is very close. Not just the greeting, but also making them feel like they have to be interested. Why think that all young minds are the same? People are very interested in different aspects of crypto. It is very important to present and guide, but not force. After all, this place isnt for everyone, and its important to understand that.

[synchronym]

Bitcoin is a very important topic when teaching children about Bitcoin, the child must listen or learn about Bitcoin seriously, otherwise he will not learn or understand anything about Bitcoin. A nine-ten-year-old kid spends all that time playing sports and laughing, so they'll make fun of something as important as Bitcoin. If we can give 14 -15 year old kids a little idea about Bitcoin, maybe one in two will show interest in Bitcoin and they will be able to work. I don't think Bitcoin should be taught to children.

It's okay if the children will not learn when you teach them about Bitcoin. Learning is a process that they will eventually understand the importance of knowing it.

But don't get them pressured upon learning Bitcoin because it takes time for them to get interested.

You teach them, you're a good teacher and they're a good listener. But if it's about them being interested, it's a different thing because they can fake all of those listenings but not the interest.

Teaching children about finances at an appropriate age is beneficial, but parents should not push their children to learn as soon as possible. This can lead to partial learning and hinder their progress. It is important to educate children on basic finance concepts and inform them of their options when they are ready. Most parents focus on cryptocurrency education solely for financial gain, but allowing children to learn at their own pace is the proper approach.
