Don't Force Your Children to Learn Bitcoin

[andulolika]

If you don't teach properly, other's will impose their ways and thoughts in a thousand different manners and those probably won't be positive or good hearted, I don't see why anyone wouldn't teach their kids how crypto works.

[Stella Mese]

as good parents, of course we don't force our children to learn about bitcoin, because everyone's thinking is of course different.

but I don't think parents are wrong if they have an interest in teaching their children to learn about bitcoin as long as it's in a good way and there's no coercion.

so basically introducing btc to children is very necessary because we as parents want to see their children grow to be successful people, and by teaching children to invest in btc
means we provide a good opportunity for the future of children.
but in this case, of course it's up to the child whether to accept btc or not and we as parents just tell it.

it is true what you said that we should not force our children to invest in btc because everyone has different desires and opinions.

I completely agree with what you said. There is nothing wrong with teaching bitcoin to children and even encouraging, because the benefits that bitcoin brings to us are undeniable. But we need to teach them intelligently, I mean, introduce bitcoin only when they are old enough and aware enough about life, about finance. Teaching bitcoin to 5-year-olds and 3-year-olds is a real waste of time and overwhelming for them. It will even backfire on them if we force them too much.

My parents wanted me to become a lawyer, it's the same dream every parents want for their children in my country, it's either a doctor or a lawyer lol, and as I grow up, I slowly leave that path behind, and they are not happy about it.

I got my eye on my father's business, a farmer, and I started following him to his farm lands and help him cultivate the lands, he tried to push me away from the farming business but I was so stubborn.

It got to a point that he wanted to disown me for wanting to be like him, later a friend of his told him how lucky my father was, for having a son that want to follow his footsteps, my fathers friend use his children as an example, he said that all his children don't want to take over his family business, and they have all traveled abroad.

My father later let me, and he gave me some parts of his lands, it was later that I knew about Bitcoin and I started buying Bitcoin years ago, I was already making enough money before I knew Bitcoin but I plan to retire soon with Bitcoin and crypto, I hope my dream comes to life before 2026.

There is no point forcing your children to take over from where you left off, if Bitcoin is all you are going to do with your life, your children might have their own ways, and those ways might be better for them than Bitcoin.

I constantly tell myself that I will not compel my children in the future to do what I want, especially if they are over the age of 12. Most of them have desires in their lives. It feels different when you can do what you want rather than being compelled to.
Consider this: How could you trust a nurse to care for your child's injury if he despises being a nurse?
I understand that it is sensible to teach our children about Bitcoin nowadays because it is one of the best ways to gain money in the future such as investing, trading, payments and many more. However, forcing people to do something they don't want is not a good idea.

[landheer]

Everyone's hobbies are of course different, as well as in the business world, of course everyone has their own way of doing business, some of them become farmers, some like to trade and so on, but all of them also have one goal, namely to make a profit.

we as btc investors, of course, many invest because we want to get profits and also enjoy the hobby of working as btc investors.

so in this case it is clear that we should not force someone or our own children to follow our will so let the child himself make the choice. so we as parents don't force our children to learn btc unless he wants to learn and is interested in btc.

[Games.Bitcoin]

Parents play a crucial role in guiding their children's education and development, but it is important not to force them into specific areas of interest, such as learning about Bitcoin or any other specific topic. While it's valuable to expose children to different subjects and encourage curiosity, forcing them into a specific field may lead to disinterest or resistance. Instead, it is beneficial to foster a well-rounded education that allows children to explore their own passions and interests naturally. By providing a supportive and inclusive environment, parents can help their children develop a love for learning and empower them to make their own choices when it comes to educational pursuits.

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.

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.

Totally agree with you that no one can be forced to adopt a field. Every person is free to choose which field he wants to go in the future and he should be encouraged in whatever field he is interested in.I have often seen people guide their children in their studies by looking at their hobbies and interests.

If someone wants to become a doctor, don't try to force him to become an engineer. I have also seen people who prioritize their interests and hobbies more than the interests and hobbies of children.

Educating children about Bitcoin is good, but don't force them if they aren't interested. Children can be encouraged but not forced into Bitcoin. I think all parents should be aware that their children should always be encouraged to make their own decisions. All parents should always make decisions based on the interests of their children.

[kryptqnick]

I think the op has a good point, but not just about Bitcoin. Forcing children to learn anything is generally a way to form hate toward the subject and towards the parents. My parents didn't care about by marks as school and never forced me to do any homework or study hard at school; I graduated from school and from university with honours, top of my class in both cases.
Children should be given the opportunities to learn new things and get a good knowledge of how the world works (which includes the basics of economics, and with that - Bitcoin), should be encouraged to learn. But forcing is wrong, and Bitcoin isn't something that one must know and love to have a good life anyway.

I think for now we need to convey an understanding of finances first, because I also understand that they are still in the learning stage as you conveyed and when the time comes and they are old enough I don't think it's a problem. we introduce that BTC is a digital currency that will one day be used and mass adopted in the future.

Maybe you could teach them the basics so they could have a background when Bitcoin was mentioned to them. If people might impose their ways then just simply tell them that "your dad is doing crypto you could ask me about it" because for sure they would be curious as others are teaching them something they don't know. Thing about forcing them to learn is that they couldn't even absorbed yet those complicated knowledge which is not suitable for their age. This industry always involve risk and wise decision making or analysis so it would be a headache for them and might causes pressure for them. Let them have fun for their age, once they grow up enough to learn this then you could teach them.

[Crypt0Gore]

Wrong, I have to teach my children about Bitcoin, the decision to pursue Bitcoin and crypto is left for them after I teach them, I do believe that Blockchain technology will last longer than anything that's been innovated since decades, they will benefit a lot from crypto, if I can make a lot from crypto why can't they? What I will never do is trying to force them on Bitcoin, but not letting your children know about crypto is not cool, that's my own belief.

we still don't know how the future of blockchain will be in future, but if it's ever going to be useful in the future, it will be more useful for the coming generations, and that includes our children, I am in full support for everyone to make sure they lecture their children about the blockchain and Bitcoin.

     Yes I agree with your sentiments about the subject issue. Although, children’s are very sensitive and their interests and hobbies are different. But along with partial synthesis and traditional studies, efforts should be made to attract them to other hobbies as well. They should also understand what is good and bad. In order to improve their abilities and expand their mental capacity, it is important to teach them different types of skill. Force and coercion do not lead to improvement in any case, rather it leads to deterioration. Just try to give them awareness about the cryptos that how they work and to use. If this thing excites them, and they want to participate with a better understanding of it, then they should  do once they reach the legal age.

I agree that forcing someone including children to study something does not lead to the desired result. It seems to me that it should be more about how to ignite an interest in children. And this can be done only when they see that parents or teachers themselves are excited about what they teach, what they talk about. Children are hooked by another person's keen interest in some phenomenon, they admire such a concernment and take an example from those people whose eyes glisten when they talk about their passions. That is why, if there is a desire to teach a child something, you need to want to develop yourself and be passionate about the subject of study.

[SmartCharpa]

It's not a bad idea to teach our kids about bitcoin, but it depends on your economy, as I believe ours is worse than yours. If you believe this is the best way to get them interested in bitcoin, we can do that. If we do teach our kids about bitcoin, if they understand what we're talking about, they'll agree, and it won't stop them from pursuing their own careers. because they are all aware of their parents' intentions and continue to work toward their future.

Parents have the responsibility of observing their children to identify their areas of interest. Your child might be naturally attracted to financial matters and investment which makes it easy to teach him about Bitcoin. But some children has zero or little interest in money matters, such child should not be forced to learn about financial matters because it will be difficult to teach them. I also think that the best time to introduce Bitcoin to children should be between the ages of 12 and above. At least they would have developed mentally to understand the sector.        

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.

Due to the outbreak of Covid-19, there has been an increased need for medical personnel worldwide. Most parents in my country are forcing their children to take medical courses even if they don't have any interest to be doctors, nurses, or other health practitioners. My little nephew wants to be a teacher but the mother is insisting that she would be a nurse. Your child must not be a Bitcoiner to succeed in life. He must not be like you, so let him choose his path because that is where his fulfillment and satisfaction are.

I think it is good to teach your children about financial management at a very tender age. Teach them how to save money and not spend every time on everything. They should learn to save money. And this should not be limited to fiat alone, you can also introduce to them BTC and educate them about it, and if possible, invest for them. You don't need to necessarily force them to learning anything, approach matters alot when teaching children.

[demonica]

For me, it's good to let your children be familiar with Bitcoin and crypto especially if as a parent, you're into it. Just let them be aware of its existence while they're young and teach them important knowledge about finances (that they can easily understand at their age). But yeah, don't force them to learn technical terms or a deeper knowledge about Bitcoin cause it'll be hard for them to understand at a young age. Allow them to explore on their own. When they grow older, they might be the one coming to you and would ask questions about Bitcoin. You can't force someone to be interested on something.

I get what you're trying to say mate, while you are correct about that but let's think about their situation and phase yet. Isn't it too early to teach them about cryptocurrency? Teaching them at an early age is not totally wrong but I don't think that the idea will penetrate into their heads just like that as talking about crypto and stuff will sound gibberish to them, no doubt. Also, there is a correct time for that but as of now, let them be children and do what most children do because sooner or later, they will also start to figure things on their own.

Its good ideas teaching our children for understanding about Bitcoin when getting good opportunity, but as parent I don't force my children have learn about Bitcoin and I give them freedom which one their basic to earn money as trough Bitcoin investment or they have other investment way except Bitcoin.  But for children is not really good ideas when teaching them with Bitcoin because they have study and focus on their school. After pass on the school I think is the moment give our children option for learning Bitcoin or they have another skill to earn money trough other investment without push them have to know with Bitcoin.
