Explain Bitcoin to a toddler

[Salahmu]

Will you tell me a toddler is has knowledgeable as you are? There was no point criticising if you knew you won't add value to the post

A toddler (age group 1 to 3) won't understand day-to-day life as they are just beginning. I do not understand what is the point of making him/her understand Bitcoin. My question again to you is why do you want a toddler to understand Bitcoin? What is the point of creating such a topic that does not make any sense?

Is a good question you ask there because a toddler within the age range you mentioned is not even fluent in speaking, so what is the need of stressing his brain about Bitcoin investment, actually with that age no matter how many times he taught him about Bitcoin he would never understand what he is actually saying, however he should no that Bitcoin investment is not like any other investment that normally requires someone to start learning early in other for them to be able to understand before they come of age, because on the contrary even if the child gets to any level he would still be able to start investing on Bitcoin without much mentoring, so anybody who is teaching there 1 year old child about Bitcoin is making a terrible mistake.

I will bring their imagination towards picturing having a game on their tablet and earning some coins for every progress the make while playing the game. Then make them imagine spending those coins earned on real items

Funny... You are using telegram games for meme coins to illustrate bitcoin and cryptocurrency to a toddler

Re: Explain Bitcoin to a toddler

The idea alone is just stupid. My apologies for my word but explaining a very complex thing like Bitcoin to people who has an age of around 1-3 is just pure stupidity.

Is this how people think right now? We know that at that stage, the brain of these toddlers isn't intended for these kinds of thing. It would be understandable if they're aged 10 or more, but 1–3-year-old kiddos? Please don't do this.

If there's some users out there that has kids that are very young, please, please don't do this to them. I know the feeling of excitement of teaching Bitcoin and crypto to them, but don't do it at this early. Let them play at least. Let these kids be kids and let them do what they want to do. Toddlers will not understand anything about Bitcoin or crypto in general, and this is just an absurd thing to do.

Any point of explaining such thing to toddler? As between Bitcoin and Baby shark, the choice will be obvious. And why not explain bitcoin while baby is still in? Coz when baby gets out, it can already make an investment lolz.

Please don't mention that song, I don't want to have it stuck in my head again.

Yeah, it would probably have the same effect as if explaining it to a toddler as its proven that baby can hear while they are in their mom's stomach.

We shouldn't underestimate the Genzs. I.mean the wisdom and knowledge this kids manifest at early age is so mind  blowing. Don't be shocked that a child of two already knows what money is. And at the same time their brain is so sharp that the easy take note of every discussion you make as an adult

There brain We know children of nowadays grabs things easily than they used to back in the days and their wisdom and understanding is on a whole different level now but i don’t think it is ideal to introduce bitcoin to a toddler. Of course we want adopters but introducing it to a toddler is not ideal, they have more important things to be worried about as it is the stage where they learn things, they have other basic things to learn about. They might grab a few things but i don’t think it will make a difference if they don’t understand it properly, there is no need to rush them into learning about bitcoin why not just let them grow a little before teaching it to them.

Little children taking note of every discussion is different from learning about bitcoin, how do you even want to communicate it with them? Like that’s crazy cause they can barely talk properly. I advise you just let them grow up a bit.

If I was to explain Bitcoin to a toddler I will simply say Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency use for making payment (transaction) just like the regular money (fiat) they have ever seen.

The only difference is it doesn't have a physical form (element ). Boom I should be expecting a question like what is cryptocurrency? because obviously it will sound like jagons in their ears. Then I will break it down into two fractions

There are somethings that a kid can never understand untill they grow up to when they can easily understand things.  Their is no way you can explain Bitcoin to a toddler that they would understand, instead you will get them confuse more that they won't be interested with the discussion that you are trying to bring up. Their are different stage in life and I believe for toddler to know about Bitcoin at this stage is a wrong timing for them. This is a stage which they are more interested with games and not Bitcoin or even money. There is no point for a toddler to know about Bitcoin because it is a complex subject to the child.[/list]

• crypto

I will simply use the word secret or hidden. I will bring their imagination towards picturing having a game on their tablet and earning some coins for every progress the make while playing the game. Then make them imagine spending those coins earned on real items

• Currency

Now it will be easier to relay currency to them pointing back to the coin the earned while playing their game and because they have the ability to spend that coin then it becomes a currency. Currency simply meaning money

Like I still don't want to believe you really mean toddlers, because toddlers are children between the range of (1-3) years, these are totally kids that can bearly talk or even understand what you are saying to them, so how can you teach something to someome who don't even understand what you are saying. I want to believe meant children not toodler but even at that you don't think there is a possible way to explain bitcoin to children. Just take this as an example have you tried teach your younger ones mathematics or even general studies and see how difficult it really is to explain it to them, now you talking about explaining bitcoin to them, I just think that too much for their brain to access so I don't think there is a possible way that will work out.

Though  maybe there is a difference perspective you looking at it and we are getting it wrong, maybe you should try and explain more but if it the wait you explained it on your post I don't think there is a way you can explain bitcoin to a toddler. It never going to work.

I don't see any reason why you should be explaining what crypto is to a toddler, a toddler is a child between 1/3 years so what do they want to use the information you're about to give them, to do?

What you're about to do is classified under financial education and such education shouldn't be taught to children that can't comprehend what you're saying.

A 3 years old hasn't even understand life yet and still figuring out how to do some early basic things. What a toddler should be doing is learning how to walk, seat, eat and speak frequently to the understanding of their parents.

Children should be allowed to have normal childhood before they turn out to be too different and become a problem to the society. When it's time for you to teach you children financially education, you'll know. It's usually when they start showing concerns by asking you questions.

[Miles2006]

I thought op is referring to newbies as crypto toddler not until I understood op is actually talking about little children 1_3 years lol. Teaching bitcoin to kids below some certain age needs tender lesson like anime characters or story books, children below 3 or above can’t understand basic lesson talk more of crypto. in as much as most people will not support the idea i don’t see why people should deprive little ones from beneficial knowledge although there’s an age range a child can easily understand without creating much examples it’s obvious maturity is needed for anyone to understand gradually but, starting early is also good. Bitcoin knowledge is not a must rather it’s acquired freely that’s why we should avoid pressure when educating anyone about crypto newbies, toddler, adults.

Then what response you can expect to them? Do you think toddlers would digest those information you teach to them?.

Also for doing that its like you are forcing those kids to learn how to earn money at early stage of their lives and its like forcing them to do child labor. Maybe better let them play since at that age for sure they don't know how to figure out everything. Also exposing them on gadgets at early age may bring bad health result. That's why I don't encourage young people to earning schemes. They have lot of things to explore and I want them to be out of any financial pressure or any brainwashing related to that matter.


Maybe try to check yourself if you are doing the right thing since its like you are expecting to much to earn money since  you expect to much from toddlers.

[nakamura12]

What's the reason why you want to explain bitcoin to a toddler when they can't even understand about fiat?. In case you didn't know, toddler is 1-3 years old and you expect everyone to explain about bitcoin to a toddler and you even compared a toddler between an adult about knowledge when it's clearly the adult who has more knowledge than a toddler. You should just wait until that child is old enough to understand how it works.

You are right teaching crypto to toddlers is not needed. At 1-3 years old kids are learning basic things like walking, talking, and understanding their world. Money and crypto are too hard for them. Let kids be kids and focus on simple skills. When they are older and ask about money that is time when parents can teach them. Financial knowledge is important but wait until they are ready. Typically kids are ready around 8-12 years old. That is when parents can start teaching basic money ideas not complicated ones like cryptocurrency.

[LoyceV]

Before explaining Bitcoin to a toddler, try explaining it to an adult. And before explaining Bitcoin, try to explain fiat money. Barely anyone really understands money, and barely anyone understands that continuous inflation is created by central banks (who are pretending it's not caused by their continuous money printing).
So no, don't try to explain this to toddlers. If you want to get them involved, donate some Bitcoin on a paper wallet. Or make it a Locktime paper wallet that can be used when they're 18.

[Die_empty]

The idea alone is just stupid. My apologies for my word but explaining a very complex thing like Bitcoin to people who has an age of around 1-3 is just pure stupidity.

I suspect the OP didn't know the age bracket of toddlers. Maybe he assumed that toddlers were tweens or teens. It's obvious that embarking on such teaching will end in futility. At ages one to three, they are only interested in eating, sleeping, playing and watching cartoons. A child without the knowledge of how money works wouldn't understand anything about Bitcoin.

That is when parents can start teaching basic money ideas not complicated ones like cryptocurrency.

Financial education is also taught in schools. However, parents can domesticate it with practical examples. Exposing children to Bitcoin is okay if the child shows interest, it shouldn't be imposed by parents. Some kids might be fascinated by crypto technology; parents could help expose them more to crypto education.

[Obim34]

Toddlers still has a lot of time for them to grow and passionately accept Bitcoin, it does not have to start too early which disputes the most important attributes to capture for any child within the age range. Toddlers are too little to begin understanding the whole concept, even some adults are not yet fully capable of understanding enough about Bitcoin, which means we do not have to misplaced priorities. Get them to where they have to study counting, pronunciations, they are expected to understand things that are physical and not imaginary, that is why they use little toys on them to be able to understand basics, their brains are not fully developed to nurture such informations concerning Bitcoin.

You are very funny because it will be a BIG ASS waste of time for you to think on a way how you ca teach a toddler about bitcoin when what they know is to play cry and eat and their words are not clear enough for people to understand what they are saying. It will be better for you to teach them poems and allow them play with their toys because that's what they need at that age and not money. I am still why you came up with this discussion or idea. Allow the children to reach the right age that is good for them to start learning about bitcoin because bitcoin is not going anywhere anytime from now till 15 years time.

[Dailyscript]

It's funny OP to start explaining Bitcoin to someone who dont even understand completely the nursery rhyme. But to make it more fun, I can stick it into his head by using it to sing a song for him and that would be; 'Bitcoin is the future, a rare gem'. Growing up that child would want to get a deeper understanding of Bitcoin for himself. And that would explain it all to him.

Oops, I get to wake up from my sleep.

[SilverCryptoBullet]

Before explaining Bitcoin to a toddler, try explaining it to an adult. And before explaining Bitcoin, try to explain fiat money. Barely anyone really understands money, and barely anyone understands that continuous inflation is created by central banks (who are pretending it's not caused by their continuous money printing).

Some resources for this educational purpose.

Purchasing Power of the U.S. Dollar Over Time
Visualizing the Buying Power of the U.S. Dollar Over the Last Century

The USA's Currency in circulation can help for giving example of terrible money prints from governments and central banks. They create inflation like this so they will not solve it for citizens, and purchasing power of fiat currency only decreases with time.

So no, don't try to explain this to toddlers.

It's overwhelming for toddlers.

The energy that you will use in trying to explain what bitcoin is to a toddler, use that energy in trying to explain it to someone older who you will have an interest in changing their lives. Toddlers do not have responsibilities other than to be under their parents, it is a waste of time trying to teach them about bitcoin when they will still not be able to invest in it. Financial education is a more important topic than just investing in bitcoin because financial education also covers investing. Some investors in bitcoin have low financial education even though they are investing.
