Don't Force Your Children to Learn Bitcoin

[Etranger]

You are wrong, not everyone will like bitcoin or financial investment like us.  many people are still living happily and content with what they have without bitcoin or investment. bitcoin or investment is not the only way to success, we have many other paths to success. if you say you hate forcing anyone, don't be too confident that bitcoin will appeal to everyone in the world.  let's teach our children everything, but never force them to do what they think is right, let them choose freely.

meaning it is not for all because others, when we say that it was very volatile, most of the impressions on this are that it is kind of gambling; you'll easily lose your money, but there are few who appreciate it, which is why they want it as they can easily gain profit from it. You can't really force anyone to learn bitcoin because it is still a useless thing as they can't still learn it deeply, and why are we forcing anyone to invest in or learn bitcoin? Let them discover it on their own, and we should focus on ourselves to learn more.

I have not said anything about forcing children or any other adult person to learn or do something. Neither have I said that only bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general can be the way to success. I said that this topic could potentially be of interest to anyone, since it is directly related to the financial situation of a person, as well as to the issues that concern him about this. And if it is presented in an interesting and exciting way, then the child will show a desire to study it, and in this case the parent can act as a guide and teacher, but by no means as a forcer.

Of course, you one look for answers to these questions with the help of other financial instruments, but my main thesis is that any person will look for them, since there are no people who do not think about their livelihood. It’s just that if a parent, as the first and for a long time the main teacher of the child, understands the cryptosphere and can help the child find answers to these questions of interest with the help of bitcoin, then why not do it? And I don't see any forcing here.

You can't force your children to learn bitcoin or to learn any other things what I believe in bitcoin is that who ever that have interest on bitcoin is the person that will understand bitcoin very well, so therefore children you can lead and direct them what will benefit them in future if you know it's a bitcoin that fetch food on their table as parents you have 75% authority over them by teaching the road that will better their life, you child should not give you a condition on what he and she will do, you know more than child and its your duty as father and mother to shoe them a root that will better their life

totally agree, there should be no coercion from parents. what you say is indeed the goal as a very wise parent, but we know that there are still many parents who always want to make decisions for their children, even though sometimes it doesn't suit the situation of the child. because parents want that later their children can get the best from what has been done to them. but it is seen from the side of the parents but not necessarily in accordance with what their children want. I think that for certain issues the role of parents could be more dominant, but in terms of learning bitcoin it is clearly very different, because understanding bitcoin is not as easy as parents think. maybe children really want to know in time or because the situation of technological developments makes them finally know by themselves, so the role of parents is only to explain more wisely the understanding of bitcoin.

Teaching children on bitcoin is like the latest threads in the forum. It is good to tell our children about bitcoin in their tender ages but destiny is not something you force someone to achieve. Just like the general saying that "You can take a horse to the river but you cannot force it to drink the water". That's, it is good to tell your children about bitcoin but you cannot force him or her to learn bitcoin if it is not in the mind of the child and if that is not the child's calling in life.

You are right, because at a young age, as a parent, you really have to teach any knowledge that is positive to your children. Including providing a good understanding and teaching about bitcoin. Because even though it's true, we don't know what our children will choose in the future, but at least these children know that bitcoin is indeed a quality asset. And so that our children know, that his father is a bitcoin investor.

So if your children are not interested to learn bitcoin please don't force them.

Indeed, don't force it, because if children are forced by their parents, into fields that are not liked by the child, usually the ends end badly. Whether it's in terms of success or in terms of comfort, surely the child doesn't feel free and isn't passionate when running it. So any form of coercion given to a child, I feel, will have a bad impact on the child. Even though what the parents are forcing their children to do is bitcoin assets, it will definitely not be good. So in essence, be a parent who always educates their children, but don't force what the child doesn't want (especially in terms of getting finances). Because the steps taken by everyone will be different, and that includes our own children.

As OP said, we should just teach them, and if they don't like it, you shouldn't force them either. Just because you're a bitcoin investor, it doesn't mean you have to force your kids to follow your path.

Bitcoin is a quality asset but not unique in this world, our parents were also able to live and raise us without bitcoin. So let them freely choose what they think is good. I don't object to parents teaching bitcoin and investing to their children, but absolutely should not force them.

So if your children are not interested to learn bitcoin please don't force them.

Coercion always brings bad results, we can force them when they are young, but can we continue it when they grow up? The more we force them, the more they will hate bitcoin rather than accept it.

Just like another instant again, it is a Ghanaian Play called "Sons and Daughters by Joe De Graft". The father wanted his daughter to study law while the some for medicine but the boy wanted to study Fine and Applied Arts while the girl wanted to study Theatre Arts but the father refused. There was a day the boy's friend drew Ghanaian President and the picture was bought with a very big amounts of money which was about millions and it was broadcasted on National TV and Radio Stations and the father heard about the news and he called his children and advised them to study what they like.

I think that play is a very big lesson to everyone in the contemporary world. So if your children are not interested to learn bitcoin please don't force them. Everyone has their own destiny.

Yes, that's very true, forcing the will of parents for the good of their children, then what happens will have the opposite effect. By continuing to suppress things they don't like and parents forcing their children to learn them, what happens is that the child will be exposed to mental attacks at an early age and this has a very negative impact on the child's growth which can lead to decreased performance in brain development.

Of course, every child has different skills and desires and what parents have to do is hone their skills so they can achieve what they want.

The government can force the children in learning about the local fiat currency. Whereas a parent cannot ask the children to learn about Bitcoin. I am against forcing anyone to learn about Bitcoin. Children need to know what is good and bad for them. Parents should teach their children about Bitcoin and let them decide what is good for them.

[Minhxx]

If anything, children should be taught about economy first in general and how to be economicall responsible and then later as they are growing up mention Bitcoin, why it has been invented and all the benefits of it.

 I wouldn't bother explaining about Bitcoin to anyone below let's say 14-15 because I don't think they would fully understand.

Yes, we can't cram the knowledge that even we ourselves consider difficult, children should be taught the smallest problems starting from their lives, not bitcoin when they are not 18+

You are not totally right @Bureau, haven't you heard of human rights? Every citizen has their rights in every country, more especially the young ones (children). The government or parents can not force their children to do what they don't like, but I believe that the parents or the government can advise them to do what they think is best for them.
If parents should teach their children about Bitcoin, it is supposed to be an easy way and not the hard way, because they can not know if the child does not like Bitcoin unless the child tells the parents.
However, Bitcoin is for everyone, but we must accept it first.

Much really better if they are the one who can disciver this since we would know if they are really interested with this and to make sure that they could last long with the challenges they can possibly face.

If we force them to learn this maybe they will hate its existence and might they will just totally ignore what you say about bitcoin to them. Bitcoin now is slowly reaching in the mainstream and for sure when they grow up they can learn about this plus they know that we are using it so provably all will take good place at the right time.

Never forget that bitcoin is highly irresistible not because it has the latest innovation but because bitcoin is the future. So I don't think we need to force our children to learn about bitcoin, they will certainly do it in the right time when they are already mature. Once they have seen that bitcoin is on the edge of other investments, then they will not let any opportunity to slip away but will always find ways on how to enter bitcoin investment, and be successful and profitable on it.

However, its also a good motivation for them that they will  be guided by their parents on an early age by introducing bitcoin to them. It's not to force them to learn, but to open their eyes at an earlier age that with bitcoin, their future will be highly secured.

There's nothing wrong with teaching Bitcoin to our children, as long as we know they can absorb it. Why not? Now, we, as parents, will know whether or not our children can understand what we are saying.

Because I plan to do it, I will not immediately tell him about bitcoin, but what I will do is familiarize him with the usages of bitcoin until the day comes when my son himself has curiosity about bitcoin. and when that happens, I will start to explain to him little by little about Bitcoin. Because Bitcoin is not easy to understand, and that's the truth.

Bitcoin is a digital currency in which global knows about bitcoin and in the Internet bitcoin is always threading so even though you have not teach your children bitcoin other people will teach your children bitcoin either through school or through play from the age group because bitcoin is all over in the Internet and is not something you will force your children to develop interest and learn about Bitcoin, so I believe that bitcoin is something I denotes that have to do with time, if your children doesn't have a time to learn bitcoin their is nothing you can do and they develop interests in bitcoin

True that, let our children to have a freedom of choice, they will ask us about something if they are interested but let us not fail to introduce Bitcoin to them, at least we had opened a path to cryptocurrency for them.  Just let them decide whether they get interested or not.  We can follow through once they get older.  For now let them enjoy their being a kid and have them interact naturally with things and people around them. 

Pushing things that are way complicated for their understanding will only confuse and stress them.  It is not healthy for the kids so better not force them to learn complex things for their age.

And children's are not always ready for these complex things; as they are young, they should enjoy their youth first before anything else, so they will not miss out on the things they can do as children. Yes, we can open the idea or introduce the idea of bitcoin; we can only teach them bitcoin deeply if they show interest and want to learn it themselves. As many children or young adults have exceptional talent and a mind that is more mature in thinking, they are the ones who's ideal to early teach about bitcoin, but of course, young people still need guidance from their parents as bitcoin if they engage requires money, so we also need to teach our children to have proper money management, not just bitcoin itself but the other aspects needed in bitcoin, like discipline, self-control, technical analysis, etc. There's a lot to be considered before bitcoin itself.

Probably on the worst things someone can do with their kids is forcing them to learn something that they have no interest in. I understand they are trying to do it in their interest but oftentimes it's just doesn't work and the kid may even end up hating whatever you are trying to make him learn. Some parents should learn to take it easy, it could be school, it could be sport, the question is: does my kid like this? Am I doing this more for him or for me?

[Learn Bitcoin]

I wonder how many times I was mentioned on this topic. I guess I have already responded once or twice regarding this matter. Once again, what is the point of teaching your kids about Bitcoin? Regarding my country's education system, a four-year-old's average weight is around 16 to 20 KG. Can you imagine a school bag that is more than ten KG, and he carries it when he goes to school?

The kids are already under a lot of pressure to learn many things at a young age. I believe it's enough to know the alphabet and some numerics in the first class. Slowly, they will learn more things according to their age and capacity. Where do you see a scope to force them to learn Bitcoin in this age?

If a young person has talent in another field, it might be easy for us to decide what to teach them. however, if the child hasn't shown any particular talent yet, we could offer to teach them about Bitcoin and blockchain technology. Remember, it's about offering, not forcing. If the child responds positively to learning about blockchain technology and cryptocurrency, why not give them some lessons? after all, I don't spend much time buying Bitcoin as a long term investment.

so far, I'll still prioritize the talents the child has and consider Bitcoin as an alternative if they don't discover their talents. If it turns out the child has the potential to be a badminton player, I'll still inform them about Bitcoin investment, or at least teach them how to accumulate BTCtc using the money they earn from playing badminton once they reach a professional level.

Have told my Eldest Son about bitcoin and explained this to him and to my surprise ? he liked the Idea of having it till his college (and maybe till future) so now we are starting to educate him and how he will hold it and to keep it safe , we agreed that I'll Give Him small amount to start with and he will be the one to add more from His allowance monthly , and promised that all the gift this Christmas will be all invested in bitcoin and with that , I am so proud of my eldest son.
hope that yours are also have an open mind and knows how to plan for their future and how to trust their parents .

[Bitcoin_people]

Educating about Bitcoin is good but forcing a person into Bitcoin is not right. A child can grow up to learn just as much as he is nurtured when he is young. But I think it's better not to discuss Bitcoin in front of children because when they understand better, if they are taught something about Bitcoin, they will accept it. And it's not fair to push at a young age, but I've seen a lot of cartoons being made these days about Bitcoin teaching kids. If kids get some ideas from watching those cut videos then they will definitely be able to acquire some good knowledge about Bitcoin when they reach their age. That's why it's best not to teach Bitcoin to very young children because if they have to pick up all these positive aspects of Bitcoin, they may fall behind educationally. If they learn about Bitcoin when they try to become financially independent, it will be good for them and they will be able to do a lot in the future.

Parents who regret they can't afford to make an investment at an early age teach their children to have an early investment so while they are growing there's a possible return they can get, but its too young to them to understand the bitcoin at the end its parent's decision to have this, so until the children do not know the bitcoin custody are still on the parent's side. We cannot blame them for this kind of mindset they want let their children be aware of the real world immediately but again don't cut their wings just for this.
Ideal to just give a brief knowledge to them and if they get interested good but if not and you as a parent still want them to have this ideal to inherit those assets.

Teaching children about investment is very good because it will be easier for them to understand it and if we teach children about Bitcoin and they still don't understand it well, we don't need to force them to do it because maybe now is not the right time for them, it would be better we prepare investments for them when it is time for them to know we can teach it, because investing in Bitcoin will be very profitable for their future.
