Stop stressing kids with bitcoin

[Mpamaegbu]

Just as my topic reads, we should stop stressing  kids with wanting them do things we didn't meet up doing and at some points getting them mentally stressed.

I completely side with you on this. I'm sure if evaluated, even those who are supposedly saving for their kids may not have enough saved for themselves. I don't know if it's a case of people trying to sound woke or attempting to make their kids arrive earlier on the scene than their mates in future. On the main note, and this is very important, I do think it's wrong forcing stuff on others, especially trying to make others lead the type of life we regret not having.

For those who are here now but aren't buying or saving Bitcoin (even if it's in bits) you're going to miss out big time once halving takes place. The surge in price that happens after that is a joy to watch.

I think it all depends on how the child will respond to something like this. For very young children, it seems like it might stress them out by pressuring them to keep learning about this. it's just that, if the age is good enough for learning, then there's nothing wrong with doing that. this is like learning math that makes people become stressed. sometimes we need to teach them from childhood so they get used to it. even so, we need to see how they respond regarding Bitcoin.
Besides, making an investment in them from childhood is a good idea I think. we can give the investment we make when they really understand how it works.
This is different from telling them to make money from small. I see this as education or the beginning of education. I see some people on social media teach their children well about this technology. Sometimes, we also need to encourage them to know things like this so they can easily adapt when they grow up.
Yes, but it all depends on each person's point of view. we're talking about kids who are good enough to be taught this way, and saving for them when they're not yet able to understand this technology.

Teaching kids about bitcoin means you are introducing them to money. I don't think it's necessary to force children who are underage to know a lot about bitcoin technology, even expecting them to save money to invest in bitcoin is also wrong. I'm inclined to educate them about bitcoin rather than forcing them to use or invest, but in the future I think a different approach can be taken especially if they start to show interest.

For those who are here now but aren't buying or saving Bitcoin (even if it's in bits) you're going to miss out big time once halving takes place. The surge in price that happens after that is a joy to watch.

That's good advice as a reminder, but do it as wisely as possible. Even though there is a possibility of good returns after the halving, the risk must still be considered.

Kids learn about a lot of useless stuff in school but bitcoin is something with actual use they can learn about. So I think it's a good thing if they learn about it.

Some subjects taught in the school are really useless for their lives futurely, as they won't have any practical application later. And I would extend this to what children are taught by the media and internet. They put so much attention and time on useless matters disseminated by influencers and so called specialists, generating huge income for these people through clicks, views and purchases, that I think it shouldn't hurt to have some notion about Bitcoin since an early age, because that is something which will actually benefit them in some years.

Anyway, let children decide... Nothing done forced, through power usage have positive results. All parents can do is to advise and show the way. What children will do with the advices received, it's up to them.

What subjects do you think being taught in school is useless?  because as we know, knowledge is endless, the more knowledge we have, the more opportunities we have in life.

There are several taughts inside Mathematics and native language subject that we only see at school, which don't have practical usage later on the professional life. And depending the field the person is going to work, matters from other subjects like History, Biology, Chemistry, Physics and others can be also useless. Actually, school should introduce the child to the areas they have interest for, so the education would be directed to their future professional life. There are some projects with this approach for the educational system, but they haven't been approved yet.

teaching bitcoin to children is not bad, but if we force them and teach them too early, will it have a positive effect on them?  bitcoin is great for investment, but don't forget that many people are still living happily and extremely rich without bitcoin.  i mean, there are many ways to make money, to have the life we want, not just bitcoin to help us do that.  teach them bitcoin but at the right age, and if they don't like it, don't force it.

Well, let children decide, but give them the opportunity to have access to Bitcoin matter since an early age. If the child has a natural interest for finances, he/she will make good use of it. In case he/she doesn't have, let life teach them later the hard way or let them develop interest for the kind of job they have a predisposition to, and encourage them to be an excellent professional on this field they chose.

Everyone wants ro teach their kids about Bitcoin and like you said, it's a good thing but how many people have you seen that are bothering their children to learn Bitcoin? This is something you need to witness before you can start advising people against it, so im going go to ask you, how many people have you caught in this act?

I guess nobody, because they are children and no one will keep bothering them to learn about Bitcoin, all what parents can do for their kids is to let them know about Bitcoin, it's not important for children to do everything Bitcoin, that's even like a crime.  

Teaching kids about money is very closer to teaching them about Bitcoin, because today we have more than Fiat currencies, we have digital currencies too so yeah it's all about educational purposes and it's normal.

[CryptoHeadlineNews]

I've seen several threads where people preach teaching bitcoin to kids and I've also seen threads where others talked about having  some savings(investments) in bitcoin  for their kids which is right.

Just as my topic reads, we should stop stressing  kids with wanting them do things we didn't meet up doing and at some points getting them mentally stressed.

Please don't get me wrong because I'm typically  not against teaching  or maybe introducing bitcoin  to your kids but I'm  on the opinion  that rather than bother them with this complicated digital asset (bitcoin) knowing fully well that no matter how much knowledge  we have about it, if we don't have the money to buy, then we'll  certainly  miss out, and judging from this, I don't think it's wise teaching them or wanting to force it on them when we know that they can't afford it.

Kids don't need to have money for investing before they could be thought about the basis of Bitcoin
Kids don't need to be 18yrs old before they could be introduced to this innovation/money called Bitcoin

Because when people talk about teaching kids about Bitcoin, I'm sure they don't mean the complex aspect such as how to verify a Bitcoin transaction, how to trade Bitcoin, which wallet is good for storing Bitcoin, or how to buy Bitcoin using x or y exchanges. But rather the basis such as the definition of Bitcoin, the year it was created, the name of the person who created it, and why Bitcoin it was created e.t.c, which I don't see as a big thing our kids can't assimilate at their tender ages, because for the fact that they can understand that "A noun is a name of a person, animal, place or things", I'm sure they could also understand the basis of Bitcoin, as there is a popular saying "The earlier the better", and the earlier we introduce them into getting used to understanding Bitcoin as the currency for the future, the better for us and the next generation likely to witness when the last Bitcoin will be mined in 100yrs plus from today.

It is upto each individual to do what they feel is right for their kids but for me personally I think it is not necessary to stress out kids with btc teachings. They will surely come to understand and know all about it as they grow, better to let them do what is important to them at their tender age.

The kids will develop their own passion when they become mature so if it’s for bitcoin, then good, but if they don’t like bitcoin, then we can’t do nothing about it but support them on what they love doing. Parents should not direct what they want in their life, but just guide them whatever their decisions in life. After all, the social media will surely talk and educate people about bitcoin, so let them learned on their own and stop stressing them about bitcoin’s bright future.

At what age would you like to provide young individuals with material nourishment about Bitcoin's current state? It is clearly nonsensical and only adds to their mental burden. It weighs heavier than saving the coins they possess. By saving small amounts of money, they will learn to manage their finances early on. If that doesn't work, at least they have practiced the art of saving.

The theory behind Bitcoin is quite intricate even for adults, let alone children who have yet to grasp the principles of economics.

That's good advice as a reminder, but do it as wisely as possible.

Most of us advise that way – to do it wisely. However, I'm yet to see a man who believes in something but does it with skepticism. How wisely can investment be done except by investing in it? We can't continue to preach "invest cash you won't miss" when we know that there's no cash that can't be truly missed. For me, I don't think it should be any problem for anyone enrolled in a signature campaign to make out 10% of their weekly earnings to invest in Bitcoin it any alts on a weekly. 10% may look small but over time, gathered together, it's not.

Even though there is a possibility of good returns after the halving, the risk must still be considered.

There's no business without risk even with all its good trappings. The greatest risk to take, they say, is not attempting the risk itself.

You have a good point OP. We should not be too obsessed on teaching them earlier about bitcoin because eventually they will only forget them if their focus is only on play and leisure. Let them enjoy on their childhood and maybe when they become mature enough and could comprehend more about bitcoin and cryptocurrency, then that could be the time that we will start talking to them about bitcoin. If they like the idea then much better, but if they hate it then maybe they’re not meant to be bitcoin investors as everything starts with one’s passion and will.

I agree that teaching too early will be useless. But to let the kids know about it in general like the Bitcoin picture is no problem. Kids surely will find their passion themselves, but they are impossible to have an interest in Bitcoin if they don't know it at all. We have to adjust what children need to know according to their age, it is including Bitcoin. Nothing wrong with people who want their children/kids to have their own BTC investment in the future, personally I appreciate that dream. As long as people don't force their children/kids, we should support it. Well, I support your idea about teaching the kids when they are mature enough. So, they can be easier to understand Bitcoin because they are at the right time to learn something like Bitcoin. I think when the children are in Junior or Senior high school, it is the right time to start teaching them.

Very few kids will be very interested into technology and related stuff. With that in mind we shouldn't expect every kid to have same mindset. Came across the history of OpenAI Altman, he started learning and writing codes and programs in the 8 years of age. Started his programming company in his 19th age. Similar level of interest shouldn't be expected with every. As most people said the space for kids should be given and they should be taught about the importance of learning. This is how interest over something can be initiated.

I agree that some thing they teach in school have really no day life real use unless you pursuit a very specific carrier. At the same time some people say they teach you those things to "open your mind" and even though they're pretty much useless you're training your brain. I think the truth is in the middle, it's ok to teach some things just because you actually need to think and make an effort to solve them but at the same time school doesn't really prepare you for the real world, I see too much theoretical things and little, in any, practical things. Besides bitcoin the simple fact that there is no explanation of how money/economy works is absolutely insane.

Parents should realize that their kids have their own wants and interests in life and that they should not be deprived of it. Even if parents know the best, and that Bitcoin will make their future successful, but know that forcing them to learn something out of their will and interest will never be learned at all. So maybe we should just trust our kids on their own strategies in life and that they will be responsible for their lives and will never ruin them. After all, once they realized that they need Bitcoin in their lives, they will be the first to research on it and find means how to access it.

[dothebeats]

I guess subtly introducing kids to finances in general and not just bitcoin will really help them towards their adult life. After all, they will be handling these things on their own as they get older and will be a crucial part of their life in the future. It's not wrong to teach them how money and finances work in general, but not to the point that you will be pressuring them to just learn. I'd rather have my child learn a thing or two about money and investments rather than let them go off in the open without an idea about how money should work.

I share the same opinion with you but with a different approached, children shouldn't be pressured to start learning or investing in Bitcoin at a very young ages instead you should make them pick interest in learning about Bitcoin by always showing them how investing in Bitcoin is so profitable. You could let them know it was Bitcoin that made it possible for you to buy them the gifts they get. Always let them know Bitcoin has been helping you financially.

Do not make it a must or start teaching them about  reading charts, just make them fall in love with the word Bitcoin. Watch videos on bitcoin and have some things with Bitcoin words and logo in your house. Have discussion on Bitcoin with your wife or friends while they overhear.

I agree with you because childhood is only for age-appropriate learning and playing, not for learning investment or digital smells like this
when they are adults they will naturally find out all the existing technology

Too bad not every parent knows this so they tend to force feed knowledge that's inappropriate for the age of the child not to mention that they're also raising a clone of themselves because they want to see how they would've turned out if they grow up with the knowledge and that's scary because you don't raise a clone when you raise a kid, you're raising an individual and they should be able to choose what they want to do in life be it bad or good, our job as a parent is to keep them safe, bond with them and guide them not brainwash them with our ideals and financial stuff, you don't need to tell it to them, you talk about it indirectly enough and they will eventually catch on.

I searched for the definition of child on google and I found the meaning of someone who is not yet 18 (eighteen) years old. So far I have not read much news that there are children studying in this matter. In my country it seems like a lot of people know crypto but it has more age than that. Actually, it's not wrong to learn Bitcoin, but there are limits that we must give. For example, the technology only. I think that the current generation will evolve faster with technology, so that basic introduction is needed. But we must also be able to accommodate the natural rights that children must be able to play. But if the introduction is a matter of profiteering trade, I don't think it's right for a normal child under the age of 18. Although in fact every parent has the right to direct his child where he will grow.

Most of us parents fulfill our desires through our children. That is, after the birth of a child, we parents do not decide that either my child will become an engineer or my child will become a doctor. We sometimes forget that there are many other professions besides doctor and engineering and children may not like doctor or engineering. Some may dream of becoming a photographer, some may have a dream of doing business but their parents force them to choose a profession against their will which results in them not doing well in the subject they study based on that profession. Those who have an interest must do well in that subject and as parents should support that interest.
