Bitcoin story

[btc78]

rather than teaching them about bitcoin immediately i would opt to teach children first about the importance of money and how to spend it smartly

i think getting in too specific might confuse them or depending on the age group, they might even just forget about it or don’t think about it that much but if i teach children properly how to deal with money and how to have a healthy relationship with it (having patience and control) then i’ll be able to build their interest naturally and that’s when i will start to let them know about bitcoin I’ll probably tell them when they’re old enough like maybe 16 or 17 years old i want them to be financially responsible but i don’t want them growing up thinking too much about money

I think one of the memorable stories that can serve as introduction of bitcoin to young people expecially children, is to tell them about about the beginning of bitcoin,  how people never believed in it or find it interesting because they knew it is going to be a boon in this modern day. I think a story will put lots of memories in the head of children which they will grow with to later learn bitcoin proper. I feel starting with a dip introduction can be complicated for children to comprehend.

I think introducing bitcoin as a story will be better for children to know about Bitcoin and it will be more interesting for them and they would want to get more details about bitcoin as they grow up.

As far as I remember there is a previous topic here that posted a reel video that was shared on Instagram. Not sure if it's also shared on any other social media. Anyways, it is a story in a cartoon explaining about Bitcoin. More like an introduction to the basic knowledge of Bitcoin that is interesting and we can consider as an attention-getter for kids who might like the animated videos. If only I can find the link and post it here.

The video will surely get the interest of the kids and might make them do some research, though kids might not understand it right now, but it will leave a huge interest for some. That's for sure.

I don't have much technical knowledge about Bitcoin, but I tested my patience when I sat down to talk about another memecoin    with my 6-year-old nephew. And reminds me of exposing children to new knowledge in an open way, I talk about the symbols of money in the crypto market, and then talk about the fun in this market, the final conclusion that I want to imprint on the child's mind is to mention that the king is Bitcoin. Although this is only small, incomplete information about the market, I believe this has planted a seed in the child's awareness when he or she is more capable and will remember my story.

Perhaps in our current generation there are still controversies, but as the truth and acceptance are better understood, the next generation will have a crypto market that I believe will be much.

Your nephew is 6 years old, which means he hasn't even finished 1st grade yet. So what benefits do bitcoin and cryptocurrency bring in this case? Even if you tell them a million times about the fun or the huge amount of money you make from the market, I bet you they won't understand a thing. I also have a son and he is over 5 years old, I also tried mentioning bitcoin as my image, logo or physical bitcoin...but he never remembers them just 1 day later. But if you give them Spider-Man, Batman, Iron Man...they will remember it for a long time and be very interested. Bitcoin is finance, it's money, and 6-year-old children don't need to know about those things yet.

As Darker45 said, each age will need different knowledge. Don't try to cram them with things that are not appropriate for their age.

Oh no, I somewhat understand their psychology, not the same way you are thinking, but the way I convey it through memecoin with funny images of the market and mentioning Bitcoin as the king of all. And it's no different from a movie or an animated story, and maybe the audience you're dealing with is different from the audience I'm dealing with, so don't equate everyone not being interested in the same thing. I agree that at an age that isn't cognitive enough, no matter how much you say it a million times, it still won't understand, and just like I wouldn't be stupid enough to sit and talk about math equations with a first grader who hasn't mastered calculus yet.

And the thing here is definitely not forcing anyone, but the kids still know that Bitcoin is the king of this market even though they don't know everything, I can imagine thinking they are relating it as a The zoo contains a lot of animals.

After all, bitcoin is just money and how can a child understand bitcoin if they know nothing about finance and economics? Therefore, it would be smarter if we teach them from basic to advanced.

I agree with you, I will also teach my children when they are adults, 16-18 years old and above will be more appropriate to start teaching them about bitcoin. But I see some people teaching bitcoin to their children when they are 6 years old, what is the use of that? I really find it confusing that they teach investing and finance to kids who can't even write or read, LOL.

As a parent, I can say that science that involves money becomes very interesting to children very quickly. They understand very well that to get something, you need money, and the more, the better. But this interest in money scares me. Children begin to evaluate every action at some cost, sometimes not realizing that some actions can be done just like that. I see, for example, similar decisions: “I will do something for you, and in return, you will pay me.” Therefore, I will not rush to interest children in Bitcoin. I believe that before starting to love money, children must learn to understand human values so as not to turn their minds into machines that think only about profit.

Don't teach them what Bitcoin is, instead teach them about the concept of Bitcoin. Bitcoin stands for decentralization, freedom, privacy etc. Teaching them these will make them curious and they will try to learn about it themselves. Once they learn the very concept of it, then you can introduce them to Bitcoin. It will be much easier for them to understand this way. Bitcoin requires money. If you introduce your children to money at an early age, that could lead to some problems.
Let them grow up with the knowledge and when they are ready, then introduce Bitcoin to them.

The approach of presenting Bitcoin as a compelling story can actually make it more appealing to children. The story of how an unknown person or group under the name Satoshi Nakamoto created Bitcoin as a response to financial problems and the desire for decentralization can generate fascination and interest.
It can be emphasized that in the beginning many did not believe in Bitcoin and its emergence as a blessing happened over time. This can serve as a lesson about how innovation can change the world even if it is not initially understood or appreciated.

Let Bitcoin run as it is because eventually everyone and children will know about it and learn it in their own way. And what we have to see is that Bitcoin continues to grow and develop, so there is no need to force or do things they don't necessarily want to do. Because they have their own world and there comes a time when children have to live as they should and develop, because in the end they will know Bitcoin.
Don't be afraid that they don't know and learn about Bitcoin, because Bitcoin is the future. And we don't know if Bitcoin is accepted in all countries. If so, this will ensure that they will have to know and learn it or there will even be Bitcoin lessons or something else, because it is legal.
And I tried it on my sister and nephew, it didn't work and I only knew about Bitcoin and its functions. However, they cannot find out any further, because they are busy with other lessons, tutoring, playing and so on

I think it depends on the child's age. What do you think a 4- or 5-year-old baby is going to make out of the story? First, it's not going to be a very fun story to them, and secondly, they are not yet of age to understand investment or even take any investment decisions by themselves, but if it's for kids over the age of twelve, then you don't only need to tell them the story because they are old enough to learn other things about the Bitcoin technology.

Children might be happy if the explanation is something like from zero to hero. But is it that easy? Hmm, sometimes, a child is more interested when they see the influence directly. One example is how parents can gain profits and benefits from Bitcoin, directly and concretely. Of course they will be more interested in knowing what Bitcoin is. Next, once there is a feeling of interest and curiosity about Bitcoin, then we will provide insight little by little, it doesn't need to be technical first, but you can start from what the OP gave, rarely Bitcoin with an analogy that is quite easy for them to understand. Only later gradually began to be introduced to other things. But don't let them introduce you about how to get money easily and so on. because they also need mental and emotional readiness to understand this.

Right. It is important to put yourself in the level of the listener when trying to explain to them. I mean, even if you want to explain to your grandmother, you need to put yourself in her position and look for the possible way she could understand. Your suggestion is a good one and it is obvious that it will work. To add to that, we now have AI like ChatGPT which will further help with ideas on how to explain Bitcoin to anyone, even grandma.

I think, whether it's my audience or your audience, they all have one thing in common, that is, they are all children and the things they love are cartoons, toys, eating candy...not what money is, how to make money...That's just my opinion, because it's your grandchild, not mine, but I think you'd better consult their parents before doing that.

Children can learn well from stories so if we are teaching them about bitcoin so we should introduce certain stories to our children to be a part of bitcoin learning. I think that Children should learn all the things about bitcoin but they should not participate physically in it because if a person from childhood gets engaged in earning then he will not be able to continue his study.

Earning is important part of life but study is also a crucial part of life as we know each and everything through our education and without education we feels blind. Telling them story about history of bitcoin will help them to be set a goal for future so whenever they grew up and wants to find a job then bitcoin will be a better choice for them which they can easily handled. Other thing is that save some amount of money in Bitcoin for them and also teach them bitcoin story so then at the time of investment they will know everything.

I believe that telling the childrens a story about bitcoin is a great idea because stories or poems help childrens learn things more quickly. when children hear stories, it help them learn about important values as they are introduced to new ideas. Children have a creative way of thinking, so this story will help them develop their brains so that when they grow up, bitcoin won't be new to them.

Not a bad idea but why not tell them the real deal, why not teach them about their finance and privacy from the early begining. I'm not talking about when they're still babies but from when they have begin to know their left from their right. Keep the stories for when you're doing story telling and be serious to teach them about Bitcoin when you're teaching them finances. Alot of us weren't taught about finaces from an early age that's why were weren't money oriented until our adulthood which was a bit late.

We shouldn't make the same mistakes to our children. We should make them know liability from assets and teach them how to invest and not saving (which was what a majority of us were just taught). We have to give our children an advantage so their path to succeed becomes more clearer. Bitcoin stories are just stories, when investing in Real estate,, nobody tells you their stories but focus on the most important things one need to know about the industry so the same thing should be done about Bitcoin. Teach your children how to hodl, how to DCA and how to secure their investment with the right wallets that are open source and non custodial.

We have, in fact, failed to teach kids about money when they are young. It's time to fix this by using Bitcoin as a main teaching tool. You can't just tell them; you have to get them interested in Bitcoin and investing. They can learn about assets, liabilities, and the revolutionary idea of digital cash. Why limit them to the old ways of saving?

Children should learn about Bitcoin from a very young age. They should learn how to hodl, the art of DCA, and most importantly, how to keep their digital funds safe with strong, open-source wallets. Not only are we getting them ready for the future, we are also giving them the tools they need to succeed in a world where digital monies are becoming more common. Don't just tell our kids stories about money; teach them facts about it too. This way, they'll be ready for the complicated world of money today.
