Don't Force Your Children to Learn Bitcoin

[hatshepsut93]

I don't see any need to teach kids about Bitcoin, because a lot of time will pass until this knowledge will become useful to them, and by that time they will likely forget it. Also, what are even the practical aspects of promoting Bitcoin to young people? To convince them to put the first money that they earned in their life into a Bitcoin investment? Starting your investment with a high risk option is not a good idea. Promoting Bitcoin as a medium of exhange? If it is popular, they will figure it out on their own, if it's not, they you  are just trying to create new Bitcoin users through indoctrination.

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.

Though they are entitled to know and learn about crypto or about Bitcoin but yes, it should be done at the perfect time and in the right age. Because it was hard to teach kids who still have young minds and are incapable enough. In fact, it was difficult to convince mature people who already have the capability to carry such responsibility, how much more for the kids who's in their mind is all about playing and in school focused on their studies. It is better to let them choose what they wanted rather than forcing them as it was not the right thing to do as parents.

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.

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.

It's not like you can force your kids to like something that they don't in the first place. But it pays to teach them at an early age of what bitcoin is and how it works. Young kids' brains are pliable and are sponges for information and knowledges, which is why it's best to teach children valuable life skills and know-abouts as early as you can. And it's not as if it's detrimental to teach kids about bitcoin in the first place lmao. What's the worst they can do? Buy high sell low?

Nothing about teaching bitcoin to children is forced at all. You either teach your kids about it, they absorb and learn it, or you don't teach them anything and have them figure out bitcoin later down the line.

You have your point too. It’s really useless to teach them while they’re young and easily forget those since they are not totally exposed in the real market. But maybe when they’re already in their right age, teaching them might be reasonable. If they like and appreciate bitcoin and want to learn more, then good for them but if they don’t have the interest in bitcoin, then we can’t do nothing about it. It’s just that our children have different passion too so we just have to support them all the way.

[lalabotax]

of course. although we love Bitcoin so much and we want to have continuity people in our family to learn and understand about Bitcoin. Don't force our childten tonlearn if they don' wan lt or they are not ready yet for learning Bitcoin. Bitcoin is not oy an asset, but this is also something very risky

tesching kids to lesrn about Bitcoin is exactly very hard, this is a deep subject to learn Moreover if they are still not ready yet, this may be more dangeruous for them, because emotionally they may not be ready with all risks and also their emotion. They may think that Bitcoin can make them rich soon in their mind. While the reality is different. in this caelse, it is better not to force them to learn about crypto whatever the matter. Except that if they are ready and they have been adult enough to be aware learning Bitcoin by themselves.

You don't need to force your children into Bitcoin, but at least give it a try. At same time, your children don't need to be interested in Bitcoin to make you able to invest in BTC for them, as a father, mother or tutor. If you are a Bitcoin enthusiast create a wallet for your children and manage it for them until they reach the adulthood, so they can decide what to do with the money.

Again, it will be a personal decision to be made by them once the time comes. The important here is that you will be giving them a decent choice many children unfortunatelly don't have... What your children will do with the opportunity you give them it's up to themselves. You did your part as parent and that is what matters.

Everything around us is changing, including the global financial system, and we are progressively entering a fully digital future. It wouldn't be a bad idea to explain to the kids where the global economy is going and how individuals are learning to put their assets in bitcoin in order to protect them in the future. However, there should be a minimum age before we introduce children to bitcoin and the global financial system. Should I say, starting at age 15?

By providing them with a foundational understanding of what the new digital era we are in is like and what it will be like in the future, educating children about bitcoin at that young age will aid in the development of their future financial wealth decisions.

you are right we should not force our children to learn about bitcoin then dive into crypto currency world. But at least,  if we do not try to give them some learning step by step we do not know wether they interest or not. if we start to try to engage them to be close with bitcoin,  it gives the chance to spark their interest in bitcoin.

Do people regard bitcoin investment as a whole way of life on which they may rely to shape their lives? If this is the case, the goal of bitcoin has been compromised. Bitcoin is an alternative method of holding money, which is why it was created. You can tell your children about bitcoin and how autonomous and decentralized it is, as well as how much privacy and money ownership it provides.

When you compare this to some kind of destiny stuff, you're completely reliant on it as your entire source of income for the rest of your life.
It's fine to tell your children about bitcoin but not to force them to use it; if it's compared to fate, it'll appear as if you're using that as a persuasive advantage to entice them to use it, which is wrong.

we really can't force anyone to know or learn Bitcoin. even if it is our parents or children. providing basic Bitcoin knowledge like they can save their little money on Bitcoin and they can take it in the future is enough for kids. no need to explain investing or anything related to Bitcoin that is too complicated. it can reduce the interest of children to learn or know more.
introduce it and let the children learn it by themselves in the future. if they are interested, they will come and ask us someday.

If the children do not reach maturity and the appropriate age so that they can understand Bitcoin and its modern technology, then it will be complicated for your children to understand what you are saying as if you are telling them about the logarithm, so no one should force his children to teach them something that does not suit their age, abilities, and hobbies. Without a doubt, children will be able to understand Bitcoin at some later time in the future to learn Bitcoin and listen to you after their mental and cognitive abilities increase, and I am almost sure that after your children grow in age and learn from you about Bitcoin and its benefits in changing the financial economy and its profitable investments, they will be interested in buying and acquiring books that help them learn about Bitcoin and its basics and knowing all its aspects that they don't know.

[taufik123]

I don't know why children below have to rush to be taught about bitcoin even though it's clear their abilities won't get there whereas in the sense of bitcoin it's quite complicated especially if the child doesn't like it from an early age then it's better to let him grow bigger and decide what you want.

I'm sure if he is old enough he will know about the environment and also their finances so they will later decide after graduating from school or college it's better to prioritize education first when it comes to teaching about bitcoin then at that age he will definitely understand and have drawn conclusions her about her career.

Thats Right, it is best to let them make their choices, we as parents only need to direct them or just introduce what Bitcoin is without burdening them.
If they are adults and understand then they will choose what they think is suitable for their lives.

As in the title of this thread, Don't Force Children to Learn Bitcoin, because that will only make them stay away from Bitcoin.

The Mental Cognitive Ability will be perfect when they grow up or have entered adolescence so it is a very good age to know about anything like Bitcoin Knowledge. Especially if they learn how to invest in crypto. There will be a lot of knowledge that they get.

And this rule does not apply to BTC learning only, because we should not force our or other children to do anything against their will. It's their right (i am not talking about moral ones, because sometimes we have to force them to make them follow moral way instead of immorality). I do agree with your point, as children's mind is pure of evils and hunger for money and other items of the world all they want is chocolate, a smartphone, games, YT, etc. They do not need to be forced to learn about BTC in an early age when they are so little to understand their rights.

We could teach them about BTC's existence but what good it will bring, let's say a KID "X" is young enough to understand the money, the world, and how things work. And X is in need of money and a trader "Y" taught him about trading, any other activity related to BTC. The first hurdle for the kid is going to get the capital to invest or trade in BTC. This would encourage him to follow the immoral path which will not be right for him. Our main focus should be to teach them what is good and what is not. Even in the world of digital finance.

In academics and religious sciences there is also an explanation that parents have the right to provide clothing, food, boards and education, but what parents cannot provide is their ambition for their children. Because it has taken away the rights of children. Especially if the age of the child doesn't quite understand when we talk about bitcoin and manage their finances. Wait until they are adults and ready to be invited to discuss bitcoin or investing.

Parents' choices are good, sure to make their children the best of the best. However, sometimes these choices are not accompanied by thoughts or are concerned with personal rights compared to the wishes of their children, who currently still like to draw.

Children also need to choose their way of life, including what their choices will be in the future. However, sometimes parents are too worried about their child's choices that are not in line with the parents' wishes and this is very natural, but back to the point above, give him time to understand.

The most important thing now, support children and provide opportunities for them to choose their own future path and their parents to support children's choices and tell them if they feel lacking.

[MoonOfLife]

Cryptocurrency, or bitcoin is not the only path to rich, success, there are many others. People investing in bitcoin and crypto to get rich are people with no direction, no other way to get rich, and they clinging to crypto, but they treat it like a god to help them solve every problem in this world. I also invest in bitcoin and seek wealth, but if given the opportunity, I will let my children discover all in this world because there is so much good out there. Teaching kids bitcoin is pointless and there is no guarantee they will have a better life.

Well, bitcoin is not destiny but only a currency. In order to earn money, the children will first get an education and later chose a profession to earn money through services or business. Do not think that by knowing about Bitcoin, it can make you earn. It is the skills that will help in earning. Later you may convert that earnings in bitcoin, or invest in bitcoin or earn directly in bitcoin, that's a separate thing.

As far as the learning is concerned, you can teach children about Bitcoin, help them make a wallet, and send them some satoshis in their wallet. This will increase their interest in knowing more about Bitcoin and how to use them.

[Vaskiy]

Whether it is bitcoin or whatever, everything need to be taught at the right age. Nowadays this have changed alot. In the past the parents might've agonised to have some sort of education, for some reason they weren't able to achieve it. Later the parents try to make it happen through their kids. This was the trend of 80's and now things have got better and kids learn what they want. The education system needs to be good, so that they'll learn about everything happening around the world. Rather than concentrating on which is the right time to give education on specific things, it is good to make the curriculum to suit well to the changing scenario.

You were just making sense from the title to when you started the body of the post. But you went off track when you started mentioning destiny and studying law in your instances.
Bitcoin is not a course of study. Incase you have forgotten, bitcoin is a currency whose price fluctuates and some people makes money through bitcoin because of the price fluctuations.

It is absolutely fine to teach your child about bitcoin if the investment aspect of it is not involved. But since one can lose money in Bitcoin, it will be fine to teach a child the investment aspect of it when they are able to earn and spend their own money.

I do not agree that Mental Cognitive Ability that you have said is perfect when a person entering adolescence Because at this phase, their brain is still growing, this is triggered from the lobus frontalis and limbic system. Entering the adolescence phase their the lobus frontalis and limbic system still do not maximum at performance. But those performance is better than the children so teach them bitcoin when they are teen-age is good enough.

Your example is flawed as bitcoin is not a career or a profession, the basics of the economic system, how money was created and how it evolved can be taught in a single day, not teaching to your kids about it will be a disservice to them, now this does not mean that you have to force them to use bitcoin, but it is important to teach them the basics of how the world of money works so they can avoid the pitfalls in which billions of people have fallen on the past.
