Young student teaching his classmates about Bitcoin

In particular, it would be great to practice alongside the initial teaching of children about the cryptocurrency. Thanks to his parents for increasing the interest of children to learn and know about Bitcoin from a young age. If we educate kids like op it will definitely benefit the next generation, and they will bring success to Bitcoin. That's why I love teaching kids Bitcoin the most.

Let me correct you op. BTC is not accepted by many countries around the world and some that accepted it restrict its usage heavily through messed up taxes and other bullshit laws basically.

My next point is that BTC and crypto in general have a steep learning curve which needs to be simplified in some manner for kids to easily understand.

Thats refreshing to know. I am so much happy to see this post because it tells us where we stand in terms of Bitcoin reach. If Bitcoin is on the tongues of nine year kid then man things are changing for crypto in positive way. There is lot more behind the scenes but Bitcoin is word/coin that is attracting everyone. It is becoming one of connecting link between that reality and virtuality of its existence. Imagine the same kid after ten or fifteen years from now. He could be greatest developer in the field or at least contributor on chain.

I just hope that new generation will seriously come up with connectedness like this. There is no competition for these kiddos if they start as early as this.

It’s beautiful to see the young generation embracing bitcoin. Developed nations will have the advantage in this regard because they are more advanced in tech than third world nations. But what third world nations lack in technology, they make up for in zeal and determination to learn new things.

 I’m reading the thread and most of the comments have been positive, which is surprising because we have discussed this before and at the time most people were against teaching bitcoin to kids. The 9year old teaching bitcoin to his classmate most likely learnt about bitcoin from his parents.

There is nothing wrong with the young generation knowing about investments and also partaking in them, especially Bitcoin. But I have doubts if they will concentrate on their studies and what matters most in life if they continue to earn money having their prime age. Having the prime ages financially early enough could be good, but we should also look at the bad side of it too which I believe many here are not talking about only for the money involved. What about their life and career, and the impact earning early could have on them? Money could also destroy if you do not know.

I started investment so early enough and I know how it could affect us mentally if care is not taken. Those who were supposed to face life with seriousness might start undermining the future simply because they have been making money through informal investment means. If it were to be the other ways of investment that have to pass through the legal and formal channels, children would be at least 18 years of age before they are allowed. But with Bitcoin and others, they can manipulate their ways to have their Bitcoins which is not bad but just concerned about the effect on them which I believe will affect so many of them negatively even if others will still be serious with their life. Conclusively, this is a mixed feeling for me, but if the young guys are nearing adult age already and are wise enough, the effect might be minimal. I hope Bitcoin will continue to flourish so that it will not disappoint them as some might have dropped out of school if they are making money and living some kind of dangerous lifestyle in the expectation that the money would continue like that.

Children are keen observers and good listeners, so if they are exposed to bitcoin at a very young age, I guess teaching them about bitcoin is not that hard anymore, compared to those who have never heard bitcoin before. For a 9 year old that is already knowledgeable about the basics of bitcoin, he must be smart enough to learn faster about bitcoin, and that opportunities are waiting ahead when he reaches a mature age.

Learning becomes more effective if the parents can also contribute to the learning process, hence creating clearer goals and understanding on the part of the children or learners.

[Razmirraz]

I consider him lucky, his daily life is always surrounded by Bitcoin, he can learn whenever he wants without having to allocate special time to learn about Bitcoin. His proper understanding of Bitcoin was because he was taught by those closest to him, he could easily absorb the knowledge explained because there was a very emotional connection between himself and those who taught him. 9 years old has been able to explain Bitcoin technology to his friends very well, in the future he will become a motivator for people who have never been involved in Bitcoin technology. A passion like his needs to be applied to the next generation to expand public awareness of Bitcoin in the future.

Financial know-how is critical for people of all ages, not just the young.  As a new asset, bitcoin should be worked into money learning for youth since cryptos like bitcoin are pioneering and may reshape finance.  It's key that young folks understand these emerging techs, including possible pluses and minuses.  Adding bitcoin into financial literacy programs lets youth make informed money choices and prepares them for the future of money. I don't see anything wrong with that.

It would indeed be quite interesting to see how the youth would be dealing with BTC if it was fully useful yet, which it sadly isn't due to high transaction cost and sometimes low speed. If they had apps, which would allow them to set up LN channels with just a few clicks as if they were setting up their messaging app and add their contacts, maybe this would allow BTC to spread among the kids and teenagers like wildfire. BTC could be much more fun in that age group. Now it is still a pretty complicated thing that can't really be used on a day to day basis.

Imagine he knew all this by the age of 9? I can sense that he can do more in the future and more technical than bitcoin. A lots of users doing crypto arent really old people butt some are quite young and still on their early phase of life. They are lucky to be exposed with this kind of environment unlike before that to learn bitcoin you must deal with it and none are really helpful about it.

His parents likely doing crypto too and teaches their kid.

I have been in this industry for a few years, and I just read an article like this that, at the young age of 9, already has knowledge of Bitcoin, which means it is obvious that the parents of that child are bitcoin or crypto enthusiasts. That's no longer surprising, and that's normal.

As someone who also has a child who is 4 years old, when he turns 7, I will start familiarizing him with Bitcoin or cryptocurrency. But I'm not going to explain it to him yet; I'm just going to familiarize him, and then I'll explain it to him in a simple way that I know he can understand somehow. But in fairness to that boy, that's really incredible for that age.

Asked why Henry is so curious about Bitcoin, his mother said "Henry is surrounded by Bitcoin. His dad and I talk about it all the time. There's always a Bitcoin podcast in the background and Henry often asks the question 'How does Bitcoin go up and down.

This demonstrates how much environment can affect a Childs growth and interest, and why we should be specific about the kind of environment to raise our children. At the early stages of their lives, we have to ensure that children are not just exposed to environments that are unhealthy for their growth. An environment can be unhealthy due to what is been discussed there, and since children can easily carry whatever they hear in their hearts, care has to be taken to control what a child listens to. The parents of the boy already made sure that the boy was exposed to healthy contents and that has helped.

When other young kids in same age grade as the boy see how much knowledge their friend has, some will be inspired to be like him.

Although he is young in age, he is old in experience as he has acquired enough knowledge about cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin from his parents.For his expertise he is discussing Bitcoin with his classmates and teaching them Bitcoin.It's really incredible.

The young people we have in this new generation are very smart in thinking, the way they understand new innovations very easily is very surprising.  I'm not surprised seeing young boy like who knows about bitcoin,  it is very common people of his age are investing things that  seems difficult for adults to think about.  With the knowledge of bitcoin in him at is age is very impressive,  when he grows to be a youth I think he will be so  loaded with the knowledge of technical aspects of bitcoin.

We are in an era where young people are so much Interesting about bitcoin, and I believe they will take bitcoin to another level, not just about investing but also I'm the technical aspect.

[jeraldskie11]

He was just 9 years old, yet he was able to tell his classmates about Bitcoin and had prepared for it so that his peers would not be confused. I know that many of his classmates will not comprehend the concept of Bitcoin and how we might benefit from it in the future, but I know that with time, they will learn and get interested.

It was a smack in the face to those who understand Bitcoin but can't even tell their friends about it because of their fear and shame. I hope it serves as an inspiration for us to share Bitcoin to our friends who are unfamiliar with it so that we may contribute to the adoption.

Bitcoin is now one of the most popular and well-loved coins around the world.
Ever since Bitcoin was created, different people have been researching Bitcoin in different ways.
Bitcoin is now accepted in almost all countries of the world. There are even many countries where Bitcoin is being taught in different ways, especially in El Salvador we have seen such cases.

Likewise, the efforts of a nine-year-old boy living in the UK show that Bitcoin is for everyone and that Bitcoin education is for all ages.

Decentrasuje's son Henry, who lives in the United Kingdom, gave a lecture on Bitcoin to his classmates in an engaging and entertaining presentation where he discussed Bitcoin in detail with his classmates.
Asked why Henry is so curious about Bitcoin, his mother said "Henry is surrounded by Bitcoin. His dad and I talk about it all the time. There's always a Bitcoin podcast in the background and Henry often asks the question 'How does Bitcoin go up and down?'"Read:
I think this is how I will teach my child about Bitcoin.
I have a child that I want to raise from an early age to experience Bitcoin and cryptocurrency.Now that he is only 6 years old I think he has enough time to learn.

This also reminds me of a colleague of mind who is still a college student but is already having a Bitcoin-related workshop of his own where most of his students were pretty much older than him.

Even if I am at least more than a decade older than him, I am still eager to learn a lot of stuff coming from him as his expertise is more into technical analysis, spot and futures trading.

I can envision it one day that we could see more youngsters in schools teaching their classmates (and teachers) about Bitcoin.

Reading this post I just remembered the day when I had a vocabulary session and I had to present any topic and speak about it for 5 minutes.
Obviously, I chose bitcoin. I kept speaking for 5 minutes and made everyone aware about bitcoin in just 5 minutes and gave them a high level idea about it.
I was so sure about the topic that I didn't prepare anything because I knew that I have enough content to speak about.
Yet 5 minutes were not sufficient and I felt like speaking more but couldn't due to the time constraint.

P.S: My result was good.

That was really a very good initiative done by this 9 years old boy, of which the statement given above tells much about all we need to know how a 9year could have been able to have such vast knowledge to educate his colleagues at school about the importance of Bitcoin to the society. Because from my little research, I'm made to understand that "Decentra Suze" Henry's mum is a Bitcoin Journalist & Head of Mining and Sustainability in the U.K, and as such you never could have expected anything less, but another young Bitcoin enthusiast, which Henry actually took over, as a proud son of his mother.

I’m not sure if his mother comment on the article is good or bad because the picture on the article censored the face of the kid for his privacy while the mother publicly admitted that her child which contradicts the censorship of the identity.

It’s really nice to see young generation encouraging their peers to become curious about Bitcoin. Not all young age have the interest to become serious on pursuing topics that involve finance and investment.

[kojektea]

he is in the right environment and has a lot of support from his parents, things like ink are very worthy of emulation, not just bitcoin we have entered the digital era so it is very appropriate for early education, unfortunately there are some countries that don't support cryptocurrencies so this being an obstacle for children or all age groups, if the world's eyes were open everyone would know about crypto

Frankly, I envy these boys that they have the space available to do all of this, especially in the academic space that is able to provide them with the appropriate climate for exchanging knowledge.
When I see them today, I feel very happy that generations have begun to become aware of the importance of Bitcoin and are spreading the culture of its use in their small surroundings, waiting for its spread to expand.
The idea of teaching colleagues about Bitcoin and blockchain culture in general is not an innovative idea in general, but the difference is whether there is an opportunity to do so or not. We know that most countries do not practically adopt Bitcoin as a currency or even as a payment system, and many of them attend all activities related to it. Therefore, those who thought of the same proposal in other regions of the world certainly did not have the same luck.

It is not surprising that there are young people who understand the bitcoin side much better than some adults because the availability of technology makes it easier for them to know many things. Especially if it is like the case you raise here and this child is surrounded by parents who are very familiar with bitcoin so that their daily life will definitely be quite easy to recognize and will be quite familiar with bitcoin.

I think this is how I will teach my child about Bitcoin.

At the age of 6 it is not productive to teach children directly about Bitcoin because they still need formal education to form their own character. But just introducing them in general would be much better because it can lead them to become better prepared individuals when they grow up. Bitcoin has a far superior side because it does not know age and bitcoin was not created for a certain group, so all that is needed is a person's sense of responsibility to take an approach and be responsible for the chosen effort.

You raise a fair point - Bitcoin's hefty transaction fees and occasionally sluggish speed sometimes make it tough for daily purchases.  But the Bitcoin scene's bustling with new projects aiming squarely at user-friendliness and mobility.  Mobile wallets like Breez and Zap are smoothing Bitcoin and Lightning Network payments for the masses. It's still early days, so growing pains are expected.  Give it time.
