Children's day discussion.

Frankly, bitcoin is never a do or die, so if I don’t see them having passion with bitcoin, then there’s no reason to force them and pressure them. Our kids have their own preferences for living when they reach their mature age, so it’s not for me to decide for them, but they will have to sail and navigate on their own.

However, I will also do my part to educate them about bitcoin and make them realize about the value and potentials of bitcoin, that’s the only thing I can do for them. The final decision is still left for them. Just like you’ve said, they’re no longer kids but already adults, so they must be aware then on how to live their life and learn from the lessons in life.

[Ever-young]

Nothing good can ever comes out form forcing someone to learn about something they are not ready to learn about especially when they are already of age and can make their own decision it’s left for them to decide pressuring them to go against their own will is not good and they could perceive that thing as a bad thing, if you are so much concern about them owning and holding bitcoin you can work extra and invest some of those in bitcoin for them which you can later will out to them maybe from the proceed and increase which they might see base on the time you acquire it they might be convince their self to do same for their offspring.

the best thing you can do is to just explain to them what benefit it can bring you maybe if you showed your kids yourself what are its effects then they might interest themselves

if you provide for your family with bitcoin your kids might want to recreate that and follow your footsteps and if not then let them find their own path

It’s not entirely possible to get the family going only from profit that comes from bitcoin well some might be doing it and those early investors who have made lot of profit might also be able, let’s assume that’s the case because you choose something as a career or hobby and it works for you doesn’t mean your children must follow that step it’s something you like they also have their own personal choice to make about what they want and what they don’t want, what I’m saying in essence is that they can still know the source that foot all their bills and still fine a reason to dislike it some can just hate anything for no just reason or because of something that don’t sound good in your ear, that’s what makes us human and will have will to choose what will want.

do you pressure them then for their own good?

I have already made a plan on how to open the discussion about this but that will only happen at the right time. I'm glad that I am seeing my child that's playing games that have buy and sell game plays and I think people should do that. Forget about screen time, they need it because I went through the same but with a bigger screen as I grow up. So, if there will be future games that includes trading and profiting, it's the best way to introduce how to invest. And I'll start watching when my kid is around about Bitcoin and other things related to cryptocurrencies and economics. It's one of the best way to get their attention when they see their parents are very serious and interested on it. It's not just all about games but it has some dynamics of learning and understanding a part of reality of life too.

But what of when your children are now of age and still not showing an interest in learning about bitcoin for future investments regardless of your efforts, do you pressure them then for their own good?

If education about Bitcoin was done right and parenting was not detrimental, why would a child not accept Bitcoin that the parents worked hard to acquire for them? The only answers I can think of is a more powerful negative external influence, that the parents maybe didn't teach them about Bitcoin correctly, or did something in the parenting process Pressuring won't help at that point. Only education, if they're receptive.

[maydna]

I will not force my kids to learn about Bitcoin if they don't have interest to Bitcoin even if they know I am Bitcoiner. Pressure will not good for them so I let them choose by themselves what they want to do.

But if they come to me and asking about Bitcoin and need explanation more details, I will teach them all things I know about Bitcoin. I will suggest many things for their own good so they can have Bitcoin as their long term investment.

We can not forcing them follow us if they don't want because they have their own reason.

One of the best gifts that a parent can currently give to their children is leaving an investment for them or teaching them about investment. There have been many topics about how teaching children about investment opportunities especially with bitcoins.

For me, coercion is not good for anyone, especially for children, therefore I agree more with the introduction of Bitcoin to children, of course it must be wrapped in an interesting story so that they still remember it in their minds. Even if they still show signs of not being interested in it, then I think it is still not permissible to force them, it is better to continue telling them about Bitcoin or even we can try in a way that is beneficial for children, so that in the end they will start to be interested in it, for example telling them that Bitcoin can make the things they want come true, then I am sure they will definitely start to be interested, and start asking how is it possible.

Bad external influence and certainly contradiction with Bitcoin or crypto, because some people just say that crypto is full of scams and then Bitcoin is just a speculative asset that will eventually become ZERO,
Maybe such a statement is received by the child so that they still don't fully believe in what their parents will inherit.

But if we as parents can get closer to our children and provide more detailed knowledge about Bitcoin as a long-term investment, then they will accept it.

Pressuring or coercing children will not make them follow what we want, in fact they will oppose what we are trying to teach.

For kids never ignore the screen time, it's very important that children specially of small ages must be kept away from electronic gadgets. I have seen in my family how uncontrolled screen time has effected kids eye sight there brain development. Having said that we can go for discussion with our kids on Bitcoin and that will help them in developing expertise in Bitcoin as they grow old. If we can learn and master Bitcoin in our 30s and 40s then our kids can also learn that as they grow up. I of the view that kids must be allowed to enjoy there era, as it will never come back once they grow up.

The only thing I will suggest that as a parent you can force on your children is to make them go after knowledge while the are young by all means. When they have learned and have gathered enough knowledge, they should be able to make the decision on their own wether or not to start investing in an asset while they are still young or not. While they are young, most times they don't really have money that much apart from that which is giving to them by friend and family members, the highest you can help them do is to encourage them rn build a saving lifestyle so they don't just spend all the income they are recieving.

Children needs more of training and investment into acquisition of knowledge rather than investing In an asset,  they need to be encouraged to take responsibility of their lives early enough and by that way, when they grow into young adult, they can comfortably decide by themselves that they are getting fully involved in bitcoin investment and get it done easily without stress.

Every children comes with their own side of interest, as a parent if you don't like it then that's your problem, you don't have to force them to learn about Bitcoin, watch them very closely they have must some interest in something, you need to support them at that even if that is the last thing you want them to become.

If my child is a artist by default or maybe someone who fancy drawing all the time I don't have to pull him away from drawing, that could be his talent normally I need to support him on this and if I introduce Bitcoin to him I've done my part, it's left for him to want to know more about Bitcoin or not.

What I don't like is forcing it on them or pulling them away from their personal goals or talent, I've seen parent do this to their children all because they believed that something is better to the kids than what the kids had interest in, this is bad parenting.

[SuperBitMan]

There's a saying that you can force a horse to the river but you can't force the horse to drink water, the idea of forcing your children to know about Bitcoin investment is very wrong and should not be done to any child.
For me I think what we should do is to tell him or her about bitcoin investment and the reward it can bring to them, I don't think there's a child that will refuse such rewards however if a child still refuse to learn about Bitcoin investment after explaining it in a way they should understand the great benefits that comes with it, then you need to let go of the child you don't have to force them to by to your idea.
Some adult still do not invest in Bitcoin even after knowing the good that comes with it talk more of a child, for me if my child refuse to learn about Bitcoin investment I will let him or her be, however if I have some Bitcoin that I want to give to my children when I'm gone or dead I will give to only those who shows interest in learning it.

As children, they might not see the benefits of using or owning Bitcoin.  It will not be a bad idea to keep introducing them to the coin as they grow and mature. As their knowledge about finance grows, they might begin to know how beneficial Bitcoin could be as regards privacy and profit making. Forcing them to embrace Bitcoin will be counterproductive since they will not be under your custody forever. They might end up selling all the coins you gave them since they were not genuinely interested. But constant education about Bitcoin as they progress in age might be potent.

Leaving bitcoin investments for your kids isn't really a good move. There are other investments "By the books " with very nice ROI. The problem is the risk involved in transferring hodlings. The internet can be a very dangerous place for those that are not properly informed. The only exception where leaving hodlings for your kids plays out safely is if they have proper understanding and interest in both privacy and Decentralisation. Else you may end up hodling for a random scammer or hacker to steal in the end..

Kids will grow and become teenagers. Whoever buys bitcoin for his kids will definitely teach them about bitcoin when the time comes. I don't see those things that you mentioned as an excuse of not buying bitcoin for your kids or pass on your bitcoin investment to your heir. All asset have risk and nobody came from heaven with decentralization.

We all learned how to keep privacy because we are using a decentralized currency. Our generation will pass on and our children generation will continue using bitcoin. If they don't learn, and adopt bitcoin, don't you think that bitcoin might crash someday. A lot of us came to this forum with zero knowledge on bitcoin but many have learned a lot. I have started a bitcoin investment for my kids already.

[Mastercon]

I'd like to know what you all think.
Do you think it's a good idea to borrow a capital of euros to buy Bitcoin? This loan will be repaid in euros and no Bitcoin will be sold to repay it. Digital scarcity is a phenomenon that can only happen once. If you copy that system (aka make a meme coin), you are inherently trying to profit from suckers that believe that your "technology" is better. Digital scarcity = Bitcoin. This will be the ledger that grows organically and may possibly be immortal. whereas bitcoin is how you end up wondering what to do with all of your money. The urge to throw way too much information at you at once...but must insist that there's bitcoin, and there's crypto, and they're not the same thing. i mean do what you're gonna do i guess but MOST of us at some point made less than stellar decisions with bitcoin. Just please, please, take this experience as a learning experience and look to find ways of improving sovereignty on bitcoin transactions and handling in the future. If you get lucky, and mining not from home becomes a possibility...well, there are some interesting facets. like being able to write off business expenses for tax purposes, amortizing equipment costs...it can help deal with bitcoin tax implications. simply bitcoin today that while of course hashrate is on the rise, if you look at the log graph it's actually getting to an interesting point where the economics of mining may not be quite as out of reach as we often think of them. also probably helps that we appear to be approaching the limits of moore's law on ASICs.

Would provably agree on this since its not always good to leave them with investment thing since somehow they provably don't like to participate on any technical discussions like that.

Maybe what I would prefer to give them is proper education and once they reach on high school level which they have good understanding on some situations. I will start introduce Bitcoin to them and how to invest with it. Also how they can avoid any potential threats including those scams.

I think with that they are prepared and ready with discussions that can make them earn some money.

Pressuring children to do anything is least smart thing to do. Why would a parent push or force his children to learn investing if they havent decided what they want to do in their life? I find it wrong when parents want to turn their children into capitalists and make that money will be on childs mind. Want your child to be rich, be that childs living example, and he will decide if he wants to be and investor or not. Children should not be parents property and parents should not be only one to decide which future child will have. Let child make his own decision.

Is the parent responsibility to teach their kid tech amd other advanced lifestyle such as digital life that involve the adoption of bitcoin, building they motivation to see bitcoin as welcome cherished assets just like gold and diamonds, with the century advantage amd giving the fact that the parent work hard all they life to put aside bitcoin for the child future financial assistance.

So for sure with right education and other physical support from the parent the child will be good to go with the bitcoin as am inheritance, knowing that he have been helped to be ahead of his mates.

Inheriting asset or teaching children about investment is certainly a very good action. Because investment is something that is very much needed to make our children have better financial conditions in the future. But it should also be remembered that when we are going to teach our children about bitcoin investment, the child must be over 15 years old, because in my opinion at that age it will usually be much more appropriate. Because our children certainly already understand what money is and the importance of the value of money. So that way it will be easier for us to provide an understanding of investment in bitcoin. Because if we educate our children with bitcoin investment when our children are under 15 years old, I think the child's response will be less good.

And about inheriting the bitcoins we have or other investment assets to our children, I think this can be done at any time, even before the child is born. Because giving our bitcoin assets to our children does not have to be when our children are adults, but when our children are still babies or small, we can make bitcoin investments that are intended for our children's expenses while they are still under our responsibility. And the second option is that we can pass on all our investment assets or bitcoins to our children when we grow old.

There is a saying that "teach your children in the way he should go, so when he grow old, he may not depart from it" its awkward to force your children to become and have an investment mindset if you the parent is/was never an investor, children look up to his parent and learn everything before becoming an adult. A parent that has not disciplined himself to be fully a grown investor may find it hard too to teach his child about crypto investment and the passion it carries.

Mind you, it is impossible to teach your children with mere talking, a practical example of what you do is the major thing a parent should do to get his children fully allign with crypto journey, what i mean, how often do you go for a blockchain meetup with your children, how often do you invite your crypto friends over to discuss the current market condition at the present of your children, these practical example will trigger your children to pick interest in the crypto space and even go more than you think.

But at this stage where children are into the game, its appropriate for parent to guild the children to reach its height as fast as possible.

[Zackz5000]

It will be of great benefits if parents teaches there their children about Investment more expecially bitcoin investment then when the child grows up and decided not to go into bitcoin investment and chooses some other thing i don't think there any need forcing it on him.
Bitcoin is a very risky investment also a volatile asset which also doesn't guarantee 100% profit even if held for a very long time in such case if such a child doesn't succed in his investment he will definitely put all blame to his father for leading him into the wrong part.
So I think people should do what their mind pleases and not been forced to do it.
