How can we help to Bitcoin education?

[jeraldskie11]

The people I can influence I give them a whitepaper of the coin.
Only decentralized coins are recommandable anyway.
No CEO for any coin

It's best if you also teach them not just only give the whitepaper. Not all people is a fast learner, that's why we should teach them to learn fast. I believe that there are people who potential want to invest in Bitcoin but because of lack of knowledge, they won't. So it's good if we actually teach them. It's just like we want a person to go a specific place he don't know. So we have to provide more information to arrive in that place safely, also the same with Bitcoin.

Aside from that, even with decentralized coins there's a CEO because leadership is important for the success of the project.

Elementary school is not a suitable place to teach financial literacy in my opinion. I don't know, but I think every country must have lessons about the economy, right? Doesn't that include the basis of financial literacy as well.
Knowledge of Bitcoin does not have to be included in an educational curriculum in a country because in my opinion it is not a matter of basic urgency that children or students must know and master.
In my opinion, if someone really has to apply or teach literacy, especially about Bitcoin it might be more suitable to be taught at universities because universities are more likely to aim for students to hone a more critical mindset, one of which is towards technological developments such as Bitcoin.
But this goes back to a country, whether there is education about Bitcoin or not it all depends on the rules and regulations of each country.

In elementary school, learning about money isn't just about how a market works or how Bitcoin works. It's about teaching young people how to understand, value, and take care of things. Every civilization has fallen because of bad resource management, and you want to put off that schooling until you go to college?

Bitcoin is not just another tech trend; it's a change. And uprisings don't wait for you to be ready or for your country to decide what to teach. Even if we don't talk about the details of blockchain, teaching young people about the idea of decentralisation and the value of digital assets can change their lives.

Universities? Really? By that time, most students have already made up their minds about how to handle money and other resources, and it's often too late to change those ideas. Your narrow view is exactly what is stopping schooling from getting better. The rules and laws of every country should look to the future and not desperately try to hold on to the past.

Leadership seems to essential, true.
Whitepapers are not that sofisticated. and they convince better than any opinion.

Decentralization means there is no leader, no single controller, if the project has a leader, how can it be called decentralized? And bitcoin has no leader but it is still succeeding beyond our expectations. A coin's success does not depend on its leadership but on what it can deliver. For example, bitcoin brings decentralization and privacy to everyone, and that's what people have been looking for for a long time. It can be said that, as long as it can satisfy everyone's needs, it will be successful.

I believe that you're already doing the best you could in educating people about Bitcoin. By creating good videos for YouTube, and answering specific questions that people might have Bitcoin, you're already doing well. Twitter thread is also plus. Then you can also speak to your friends about Bitcoin, and help guide them through it to understand fully what it's all about. Another way can be by writing blogs.

These are good general ways to introduce Bitcoin and educate as well. These ways are not too pressing, meaning OP is not pushing people to know Bitcoin, but he/she is marketing to people who are either already know what Bitcoin is and who might want to know by just putting his/her video and tweets out there. See, the biggest mistake most people do when they try to spread knowledge about something is forcing people to be interested to something, instead of doing that it is better to cater to those who are already aware of it and who have an existing interest so they are more open-minded and understanding as you teach.

better for Kids in elementary school would be to discuss the idea of get rich quick schemes: what are the chances to make it vs how are the chances to make the next paypal. 

That money alone is not equal to happiness.

You are more mistaken than those who are having the idea of teaching bitcoin to elementary school students. They haven't even perfected their reading and writing skills, how can they even think of getting rich? They're just kids exploring the world and there's so much they need to learn and not finance is always an issue at any age. It is a foolish and short-sighted idea to think that it is possible to include bitcoin or financial education in the elementary school curriculum.

If you want to make money, you must first learn to be human, don't turn children who only know money without morality.

If you'd knew those kids nowadays then you might get it that those ideas come at early age.
Specially when kids receive Smartphones to keep them busy. Typical 1st world behavior.

What I want to ask is are you married and have children? Because I see you're pretty confident when you say elementary school kids have got the idea to get rich. Or are you just stating your opinion? They use smartphones proficiently, or they will imitate us saying they will do our work, they will invest in bitcoin to make a lot of money...But the fact that they understand what they are saying is what matters. I have 2 kids, and I know what kids that age want and need. I know what's good for my kids at that age, and certainly not bitcoin or teaching them money.

I agree with you, kids at such young age, only follow what they see from us adults and to assume that they fully understand what they are saying and doing is a major no. Kids, at the age being discussed, should be focused on learning basic skills (reading, writing, doing maths) and having fun. Why are you going to introduce something that is far beyond their cognitive skills to understand? Don't give such responsibility and pressure to kids, especially about money, you are basically taking their childhood fun away by doing that.

Bitcoin is a technical subject which many people like very much and those who are not interested in technical subjects may find it boring. But since it is a currency and its future is very promising and maybe in future days Bitcoin will be the best medium of international payment so more or less everyone should have a knowledge about Bitcoin. So if we want to raise our next generation to be Bitcoin savvy, they should be gradually introduced to Bitcoin from a young age. Because children can learn something quickly from an older person

And the thing they do when they have their smartphones in their hands is use them for entertainment. I'm sure they will prefer to use these smartphones to play online games or watch movies. Just try to see how many games they download every day, and how much time they spend playing games and watching. At an early age like them, at elementary school, they are more focused on learning what is taught at school according to the curriculum and it's not that hard. In addition, they are still at that young age and still like to play and entertain. Even if there are children who are interested in Bitcoin, then it's probably only a small fraction of them. Or because they are only interested in getting money to buy snacks.

Well in the 3rd World kids are hardly interested in learning, maybe around 25% the rest is there to bid their time. Africa might be different. Asia too could be that way although we see craciness in the east too.

Married yes, Kids we don't have. In our Family kids are plentiful and their parents use smartphones as a pacifier.
In the long span of my life, 50+, I've worked with kids, as a male nanny or caregiver, before that I cared for elders when in my late 20.
How people ignore their kids and use pacifiers actually causes pain.

It's hard to have to tell young parents that all the misbehavior their kids display is their mistake and not their kids' faults.
They hardly ever make the connection.  

Most people around here grow up with little education, and mostly eye money. The very reason why so many run off to the states.

Aside from that, even with decentralized coins there's a CEO because leadership is important for the success of the project.

Decentralization means there is no leader, no single controller, if the project has a leader, how can it be called decentralized? And bitcoin has no leader but it is still succeeding beyond our expectations. A coin's success does not depend on its leadership but on what it can deliver. For example, bitcoin brings decentralization and privacy to everyone, and that's what people have been looking for for a long time. It can be said that, as long as it can satisfy everyone's needs, it will be successful.

True that, Bitcoin being decentralized is one example.  Although Bitcoin has a creator we can't find anyone claiming to be the CEO of the decentralized blockchain of Bitcoin.  This simply means stating that Bitcoin has a CEO is misleading.

If we wanted to help in Bitcoin education, we can simply do our share by informing our family and friend about the beauty of Bitcoin without forcing these people to invest in the Bitcoin market. If these people grasp the idea, they will do it themselves voluntarily.

Kids are more attracted to things that they see physically but since Bitcoin is a virtual currency in this case kids will be less attracted to it. so it will not be possible to convince kids about Bitcoin very easily. But everyone reaches a certain age when they are most attracted to things that are new to them so informing them about Bitcoin at that time can be a good strategy to convince them about Bitcoin very easily. this attitude I think starts when a person is 14-15 years old. So from this point of time informing someone about Bitcoin can be of great help to make it easier for them to understand

I'm not saying we shouldn't teach our kids about bitcoin or finance, I'm just saying we should wait for them to be mature enough to teach them. Teaching them bitcoin when they are too young will put a lot of pressure and will become useless. If you think it's good to teach elementary school kids about bitcoin, why not send your kids straight to college instead of just elementary school so your kids will quickly become better than their peers? Or you should not send them to school instead you teach them bitcoin, teach them to earn money from birth so that when you grow up your child will become a billionaire. Education has been researched and divided into age-appropriate stages, we should not force things that are not appropriate for their age.

You are talking about 6-7 year old kids, I think they are talking about 11-12 year old kids. In most nations "elementary school" is until 13 years old, and that means kids at 13 years old could start learning more about bitcoin. I still think that high school is better, you would be about 18 by the time you graduate and you should be able to learn more things about crypto at that point but that doesn't mean that you are going to end up with a result like that.

It should be a lot better if you could avoid that and have a result that would be better. I believe that we are going to end up education one way or another, otherwise kids will never learn it and they will be too late when they are old enough to check it themselves.

We are currently in the digital age, most people born around 1980 onwards have been involved with technology to such a degree that it is easy for them to handle any recently created device or program, and this must be taken advantage of, it would be good that topics such as digital currencies, bitcoin specifically, and finances be instilled in young people so that they have an additional option of centralized currencies to start with their own economic stability, in addition to this knowledge can make it easier for them to use these with awareness . Of course, everything related to bitcoin cannot be taken lightly, so trying to teach these topics must be done with great care, without omitting any negative part that it may have, and I am not referring to the volatility, that exists in bitcoin that can be taken as bad, if not to what it entails to use this type of currency... many can fall into scams, or into the hands of hackers, despite the fact that bitcoin can be learned easily by young people, these due to their impatience to get more or not to lose, they can make mistakes, that is why everything that has to do with money must be explained with all its pros and cons, and also, before imparting any OP knowledge, you must make sure that that you know exactly what you are talking about, since the means through which you want to try to teach are influential, therefore it may be that instead of helping, you end up harming others. Apart from all that, I don't think what you want to do is a bad idea, because everyone should have the same opportunities to learn about something that is going around the world.
