The effect of Bitcoin on children

[Rigon]

I am sharing a real story. Last 31st I went to my cousin's wedding. The area where I want to host the wedding is like a village where I don't have good mobile network, so it won't be wrong to call such an area as a remote area. After eating and drinking, me and one of my cousins went out for a walk and saw three boys drawing something in the mud. I approached them with interest and watched them make the Bitcoin logo in the mud and compete to see who could make the logo more beautiful. So I asked about this logo and one boy said that his parents have this bitcoin and his father taught him to draw this logo and he taught his friends. I was very happy to hear this from the boy because in such a village where there is no good mobile network people are involved with Bitcoin. 

In this case of the boy, I remembered one thing that the children will be developed in the same way as the parents raise their children from childhood. The boy's father may want to expose his son to Bitcoin from an early age.

Children's cognition is very strong at a young age. At this young age they will be raised the way they can be raised. Maybe this little boy heard about bitcoin from his father and saw the logo being created so the little boy was able to draw this bitcoin logo. Also currently YouTube tutorials have various animations about Bitcoin, various videos about Bitcoin from where maybe these guys knew about Bitcoin and saw the logo and were able to create it. I'm still not teaching my kid anything about Bitcoin. I wouldn't put so much pressure on introducing my kid to bitcoin at this young age than teach him about bitcoin when my son is an adult.

So I asked about this logo and one boy said that his parents have this bitcoin and his father taught him to draw this logo and he taught his friends.

I hope no criminal around will try to steal his Bitcoin father because the children always said the truth. I am also curious, did the children say where his father save the mnemonic seed?

In this case of the boy, I remembered one thing that the children will be developed in the same way as the parents raise their children from childhood. The boy's father may want to expose his son to Bitcoin from an early age.

I am also happy if the father tells to his children how to save their Bitcoin and how to avoid criminals stealing his Bitcoin because until today many bad guys want to have something but no attempts to buy it instead steal it. If I were you, I will talk to his father about this situation. We know, bitcoins are the target of criminals, and I also know what his father means because he just wants to advise his children from an early, but it is also a loophole if don't don't tell it also how to save it properly.

The father must tell the security 1st instead of how to draw the logo.

While it sounds like a good story. We don't really have an idea in remote places on how many people are there are keeping with such trend and technology and even in investments. That's why when I go on different places, I am avoiding to judge the people there because you'll never know that they're more knowledgeable or rich ones that just migrated there because of the ambiance that they want. In my local, that's what people do, they strive and work hard and then save and after they're all set, they retire and go to remote places where they can breath some fresh air without having to worry what they're going to eat because they're able to save and got instruments of passive income that generates them money easily. I wish that the father really is into Bitcoin because it's also possible that he's just obsessed with Bitcoin and optimistic about it but never invested.

[Strongkored]

I'm gonna bet $100 that this didn't really happen.

It seems so, and we see quite a lot of stories made up like that when starting a thread, maybe Op is a storyteller so his imagination is very high to make up stories that look real but in reality, are fictitious. But if that's true it's not a necessity to teach about Bitcoin to children, especially if we want to teach them what we want to tell them, that Bitcoin can be an investment tool, that Bitcoin is a digital currency that can be used globally for transactions even though at this time it's not completely global yet because there are still quite a limited number of merchants who accept it, so teaching kids isn't a must, I prefer youth or at least teenagers where they can catch more things, so that when we teach them they can apply their knowledge even if not in its entirety.

Limitations do not prevent a person from keeping up with the times. of course there is a certain purpose even though living in a village that is left behind to keep up with technological developments. on the other hand, by having knowledge about bitcoin, the child's father has the desire to pass it on to his child so that he is not left behind like his village. we can imagine if you want to make a transaction, of course you will go outside the village to look for a signal. It's different with retired people, where indeed they already have knowledge in their life and want to live quietly in the countryside to enjoy their old age, so it was easier for him to access the internet and keep up with the times.

I don't care if this story is true or just fiction, but I agree with you that teaching kids bitcoin is unnecessary. Their age is to have fun and explore the outside world, not the time to teach them about finance or investing. I support and encourage bitcoin education for people, but as you said, we should teach them when they are teenagers or young adults. When they have enough basic knowledge of life, and it's time for them to be independent in everything, including finance, it's the right time to teach them about bitcoin and finance.

Children really like to learn something new, especially something that small children find interesting and unique. They will learn it.

the father probably wanted his son to become the one to invest in bitcoin. Therefore, his father taught his son from the bitcoin logo first. And it turns out that his son likes the bitcoin logo, so there is hope that the child likes bitcoin and starts learning about bitcoin. That's really good 👍

Bitcoin is becoming more famous.

@Op your story is true but almost everyone considered your story fictional. It would be best if you took a picture with your smartphone and attached it to the post.
Following this story of yours, I understand that bitcoins are spread almost everywhere in the world. I really like how you've shown through your story that you went to the outback and found bitcoins. (Here I am not calling your story unrealistic) But I would like it best if you could attach a picture to prove it later.

Yes, but the situation of them makes it us judge sometimes based on the location. Those people that I've mentioned that also looking to live in remote places and outside the metro are also starting to get young. The stress that's giving from the jobs that we work and things that we deal with wanting all ages to take some fresh air. That's why moving from city to rural areas is becoming a norm for many people but it's true, the knowledge and keeping up with the trend doesn't stop everyone even they're living in far places.

indeed bitcoin is now gaining popularity, so it's no wonder that there are children who can draw the bitcoin logo. Yes, it is possible that the child's parents want to educate their children to get to know bitcoin
and in the future his son can invest in btc following in his father's footsteps.

but even so, in fact the child may not necessarily become a BTC investor in the future because of course everyone has different thoughts.
but I hope that the child in the future becomes a successful btc investor.

It's good that people are trying to educate their children about good things from their initial days so that they don't underestimate its potential and think that it is not a good thing to have or follow, otherwise, most parents these days are busy teaching their kids how they can make TikTok by singing or dancing or doing stuff that is not going to give them a bright future.

I think we should encourage children to learn things like cryptocurrencies and other technologies when they reach a reasonable age because these things are the future and our children will be living totally covered with technology when they grow up.

[Despairo]

I wonder where you live, but I've met so many children in my country and there's no one even draw Bitcoin logo, if Bitcoin popularity has been spread for 12 years old children, there's should be one of children in my country did that.

What I've seen so far, nowadays children has their own phone and they're playing a mobile game with their friends, that's it. They're not even talk about money or Bitcoin, they only know how to top up diamond or point to buy a rare skin, that's it.

From my point of view, the story you tell looks like it's just a fabrication to make the reader's interest as if it were real.

Children are innocent in the sense that they easily accept any information. If today he is taught about the Bitcoin logo, then they will try to depict the Bitcoin logo for a few days. When they get another, more interesting image, they will forget about the Bitcoin logo and will try to depict the newly received image.

The fact that the children saw the Bitcoin logo and decided to draw it does not mean that the OP can lie. What's so amazing about this? Children are curious, it is enough for them to give the phone once so that they have already mastered it. Going to YouTube and seeing the Bitcoin logo is also not a problem, it’s another matter that everything will end there.
I don't see the need for the OP to prove anything to you, especially since by doing it late, you have the choice to walk past rather than demand a photo.

[kryptqnick]

It's wonderful that children in a village have heard of Bitcoin and competed trying to draw the best logo. But that's the thing with kids: they often say too much and tend to just trust anyone who comes to talk to them. I'm not sure that the parents of this kid would be thrilled that he told other kids and a stranger that his dad has Bitcoin. I mean, I don't have kids but if I did, I wouldn't want them to talk about what sort of coins I have to other people. I'd probably still teach the kids about Bitcoin but just generally, kind of like you teach them biology, history, etc. (not as something personal but just as something important to know).

In this case of the boy, I remembered one thing that the children will be developed in the same way as the parents raise their children from childhood. The boy's father may want to expose his son to Bitcoin from an early age.

Most children's personalities are shaped by their parents; the habits that parents instill in them are what they will grow up with. For this reason, parents have important roles to play in raising their children; we should therefore avoid always acting negatively in their faces because they will quickly pick it up and adapt to it.His father may not even have intention to expose the boy Bitcoin, instead, he may be simply watching what his father is doing. Alternatively, it's possible that the boy's parents simply have the Bitcoin logo displayed in their rooms or that the boy has simply noticed the Bitcoin logo in one of these parents' phone over and over again.

Parents play an important role in shaping their children's character and habits, but their habits and personality will change over time. They will keep only what they like and suit them, and they will also get rid of what they don't like. When they are young, their minds are not fully developed, so they like to imitate everything, but when they grow up, their minds are fully developed, and things will be very different. I also have kids and that's what I'm going through. So teaching them about bitcoin early won't guarantee anything either.

You won't be with your child all of the time therefore interaction with other people and different environments won't be limited. Indeed it would require a child's initiative to do something but why should a child learn about investment at an early age? Well that is really a good trait but in such way, what's 'natural' won't be meant. According to many developmental theories, a child's growth could be affected by many factors and each of those would play a key role as the child grows. Teaching something that won't be necessary at a certain age range will just delay the child's natural process of growing up. Instead, it would be more effective to wait for that 'right' age. Right age refers to a point in one's life wherein an individual can make his/her own decisions with rationality.

You made a correct point, and I bet many parents are unaware of this, and they only teach their children according to their feelings, they will teach what they think is good regardless of whether their child is suitable or not.
Back to the issue of teaching bitcoin to children, I see many people advocating for teaching bitcoin to children while they don't even care about their age. Recently, the forum has been some topics about bitcoin and children, and most people are blindly supportive. I don't object, but frankly, we need to provide age-appropriate knowledge to be most effective. Don't just cram and teach them unnecessary things.

OP though many people find this story of yours unrealistic. Although in the case you mentioned of some kids drawing the Bitcoin logo in the mud, I think it's kids' talent. If the kid's father is related to Bitcoin then surely he has some idea about Bitcoin. Maybe the kid saw his dad draw the bitcoin logo, which caused the kids to all try to draw the bitcoin logo together while mud. Or maybe the child's father wants to introduce him to Bitcoin, but children grow up with the same knowledge that is taught to them from a young age. So maybe the child's father has invested in Bitcoin and is teaching his child about this investment.

Maybe OP is unmarried and has children.  indeed, kids are naive, and they won't care what it is, so it doesn't make any sense for them to draw the bitcoin logo.  My kid also saw the bitcoin icon on my phone, he was so excited when he saw it for the first time.  but as soon as you give him something newer and more colorful, he will immediately forget what was before.  just because kids draw bitcoin and play with bitcoin models doesn't mean they will be interested in it.

[adzino]

That's very interesting. Good that the kids know how to draw the bitcoin logo, but do they know what it is or all they know is that it is something their "dad" has?
Bue yeah, it is good to see Bitcoin reaching such remote areas. But, if the area struggles with a stable internet connection, wouldn't that pose a problem for Bitcoin transactions? Bitcoin, like other cryptocurrencies, depends heavily on a good, stable internet connection to process transactions. And if the network is spotty, how effective would Bitcoin really be as a daily-use currency in such places? Just some random thoughts.

[nebuch]

That's what we call the influence of Bit coin in this era. The popularity of Bitcoin is unstoppable even the government trying to stop the massive flow. People now are aware about Bitcoin, I guess with regards to Bitcoin movement we cannot underestimate the nation, place or country even they looks like small. People now can connect and collect Btc in split of seconds through Internet connection.
