Don't Force Your Children to Learn Bitcoin

[crypticj]

I think there should be no force. But we still need to teach our children what bitcoin is, because no one gonna teach them about it in school or uni.

And because bitcoin is the future, learning about it early will give your kids a big advantage in the future.

I think one of the good ways to teach kids what bitcoin is, is to give them some. When you gift your kid some BTC, he will see it "growing up" with him and getting more expensive. It will be a great lesson for the kid.

It is ok that you are involved in Bitcoin but thinking that you are involved in Bitcoin should teach your children about Bitcoin from a young age is wrong. You must take care that your children's childhood is not spoiled by your pressure. We should provide opportunities for children to grow up independently from childhood. And as they gradually grow up, you as parents must take the necessary steps to educate them in good education. Let your child choose the profession he chooses when he is well educated.
If a child is pressured to learn about Bitcoin at a young age, it will have a negative impact on their healthy upbringing.

As a parent, you have to prepare your children for the future. Teach them about Bitcoin and other assets too. Bitcoin is one of the easiest way to invest and very easy to understand but that doesn't mean you should stop at just teaching them about Bitcoin, teach about others.

Easiest does not mean most reliable. Until now, bitcoin has brought very good profits, but no one can now guarantee that it will continue to repeat its cycles in the future. But if you look at real estate, you will see that it has been one of the most reliable investment destinations for many decades or more. Yes, there is less profit, there is no such insane growth, but it is a stable investment, with much lower risks.

We should still introduce bitcoin to our children, but it should be age-appropriate and not forced. Forcing them will not only destroy their beautiful childhood but also make them obsessed and fear bitcoin more than love it. I ran into this situation with my son when I tried to force him to eat food I thought was good for him. He was forced to eat them out of fear of me, but growing up, he hated them and never ate them again. And I know it was my mistake to force him when he was a kid. It creates a sense of obsession rather than they will adapt to them.

Attention Everyone!

I am feeling helpless now. I got more than 70 mentions since this thread was created, and I did not write a single post in this thread (Or did I write?). I never knew Choosing such a username could turn into a pain in the ass. I use a notification bot, and each time people use the word "Learn Bitcoin," I get a notification in my telegram. I know I cannot blame anyone for using these words, and it's my fault. I thought my username was a message to others to learn about Bitcoin. But I didn't know it could be a nightmare for me. I had to mute notifications while I slept due to notification sounds. Not only this thread, but I also got mentions from other threads. But this is the most-mentioned thread so far.

The good term to use is giving an idea to children what bitcoins are all about because one day they will hear it somewhere else and might want to ask for more legit information this time they know where they gonna go because you talk about it once with them. I'm sure if the parents are good to their children and have been working hard to raise them the right way, they will earn some respect from them and want only to listen to them in anything they say. Once they are curious about it and wanted to learn more, you already know what to do and where to send them because it's nice to have a guide rather than exploring it on your own.

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.

I too have been seeing such unlikeable threads being created all over the board recently. Why would anyone want to push propaganda towards children? Its not like they have money to invest into Bitcoin with. The ones who should be learning about Bitcoin are the young adults and obviously, the parents. The children will learn about it sooner or later, but just as I said in the other thread, I think the best thing the parents can do is buy some BTC for their children, so when they grow up they will have something to work with. And judging by how the Bitcoin adoption has been going, I would say the children will have a small fortune...

If I remember correctly, the topics that teach bitcoin to children have had a lot of support and welcome, and they ignore the factor of how old the child is and whether it is suitable to learn bitcoin or not. But in this thread, I don't see those people anymore, why don't they come in here and say that teaching bitcoin to 5 and 7 year olds is the right thing to do? Too many parents are teaching their children the wrong way blindly.

I have a different perception on kids learning bitcoin as opposed to validating this with sayings such as "You can take a horse to the river but you cannot force it to drink the water" Well if education is said to be part of one's basic human right's,  don't you think learning about money is included in this??? Besides for countries that have made bitcoin legal tender, this definitely implies Kids learning about it to to make ease of use super easy...Unless crypto is not recognized in one's country then Kids can be exempted from learning these technologies but don't deprive them this opportunity when the best teacher being you is around!!

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.

Certain things need to be taught like using a computer as these are skills you will need when you are of age for you day to day activities and this should not be seen as a burden to the kids!

When it comes to teaching children about Bitcoin:

1. Consider their age and understanding.
2. Start with basic financial skills before introducing complex concepts.
3. If they show genuine interest, provide age-appropriate resources.
4. Teach them about risks and responsible behavior.
5. Emphasize diversification and long-term thinking.

Overall, make sure the education is gradual, tailored to their age, and encourages their curiosity.

No, I think there is a chance for them to learn about bitcoin or cryptocurrency as a whole at an early age even without us teaching them personally because we cannot just compare our time to theirs as they are now living in a much modern time. That said, I think there will be some subjects that will be added soon in about let's say a few couple of years or some existing subjects that will have some subtopics about cryptocurrency especially in middle school.

But it is never a bad idea in the first place to teach them even before the school can create a program for that. In an early age, we should just introduce it to them at first so that they will not be overwhelmed and as the months or years go by, we can explore much deeply about it.

I don't see anything wrong in teaching our children about Bitcoin or blockchain technology.

Of course not, but you have to pick and choose how you teach it. Grow up, they don't have to be experts on bitcoins and altcoin, but they just need to gain some understanding of what these cryptocurrencies are used for.

Informing, teaching and recommending bitcoin to children is not forced, it is natural to prepare them to know how to take advantage of opportunities with it. Coercion is meant if they are forced to use it and the parents don't give their child a choice about something else.

[southerngentuk]

We should teach children basic financial concepts and skills before introducing more advanced topics like Bitcoin. Teaching them the concepts of money, savings, budgeting, and responsible financial decision-making is fundamental when diving into finance. Understanding the fundamentals of economics and finance can help children develop life skills and apply them to any future investment.

Also, when it comes to introducing complex topics like Bitcoin, it is generally advisable to wait until the child has reached the appropriate level of maturity and understanding. The ages of 14–15 may be a good time to start discussing more advanced concepts, as teenagers generally have a better grasp of abstract ideas and are able to engage in complex discussions.

[Distinctin]

I agree with you op on the subject matter because in this 21st century our kids are supposed to make choices of what they want to do or become in life, But in other hands, teaching children things about Bitcoin as a guidian (father or mother) is also not gonna stop the kids from becoming whatever thing they have desire to become in life because no knowledge has ever been a waste, so it duely the responsibility of parents to guide their children while making career decisions because the parents has more experience than the kids but not make choices for our kids.

Yes. Parents are only here to guide their children especially in building their own careers, and not the one who should be controlling on what path they should take in life. That way, we are molding them to be more independent and become responsible wherever life may take them. However, if we can also take some time to teach them about bitcoin, I think it’s a good idea so they will be aware on how to manage their funds but not forcing them to love bitcoin and prioritize it over their own wants in life.

That is the main function as a parent because children are also not robots that we have to manage and let them do whatever they want in their lives.
But on the other hand, the introduction of bitcoin if the parents are in this scope is important as for the future of the child whether interested or not it depends on the child himself, the most important thing is that we have introduced and taught what bitcoin is.
One thing, for sure in this case I can still distinguish which is about coercion to children to like bitcoin and which is called introduction and learning. Children basically always want to try new things and it's not wrong to introduce this to children, just don't cross the line too much in this case, especially when the child is uncomfortable with it.

because it will be difficult for parents to teach something that requires a more complex understanding like Bitcoin. because for a small child of course all they know about money is fiat which they can shop with. teaching to save and invest will also be quite difficult for a child at a certain age.
if we want to make a Bitcoin savings or investment for our child's future, that's not a problem but explain and give it when the child really understands and is ready to manage his own finances.

Generally I agree with it. Maybe I even wouldn't teaching to my children bitcoin, but I think not bad idea to hold 1 BTC (I wish I had so much) for 1 baby and gift it when he/she grow to 18 years old.
I spied this idea from one crypto blogger from UA and he have 2 little children. Hope, in the future I will see what happened next with that 1 BTC (14 years left to see that).
Maybe this idea will also seem interesting to someone and he will also do the same. But keep in mind the risks for such a long period of time, but I really hope that nothing bad will happen to bitcoin

Whenever we do talk about future savings for out child then it would really be requiring that extreme will and self discipline for you not able to sell up those coins when you do see that it is really making huge profits or really that something in talks about in having in need. We do know that we cant really be able to tell on what the future holds and on the time that you would be making up some money then for sure you would
really be considering on snipping those bitcoin savings that you would be having and would really be that converting those actively.

Well its not really that a bad consideration on having this kind of plan. When speaking or teaching out our child about Bitcoin then everything should really be in the right time on which it would really be just that right that you should really be seeing whether if its the right time or not basing on your childs age. Explaining it to them when they are still young would really be useless yet they cant
really be able to absorbed on what  you had explained into them.

[Kasabus]

I believe parents know best for their children but if parents have crossed their lines to the extent of forcing their children to do this, to do that, then that is not reasonable anymore. Although bitcoin can give security and can brighten their future, but if the children do not want to engage with bitcoin because simply they have their own reasons too, then we cannot do anything about that but just learn to support whatever their goals in life. When they become mature, I guess they’ll be responsible too for their own lives.

[Rupok]

Every thing has a certain age limit. It would not be good at all for children to like Bitcoin and should not be forced to invest. A child can never have real knowledge about Bitcoin.There are very few people in today's world who do not know about Bitcoin.  So in future even children will know about Bitcoin when they grow up. We can now give them a basic idea of ​​Bitcoin but never force them to acquire it. I think it would be really dangerous for children.
