I'm a parent who owns Bitcoin and struggled to teach my kids about it in a tangible way. Everything is abstract - wallet addresses, keys, satoshis.
So I have a concept mockup for a physical Bitcoin piggy bank:
HOW IT WORKS:
- Parent loads NFC plastic tokens with small amounts of BTC ($5-10 in sats)
- Kid deposits physical token into the piggy bank
- Bank reads token via NFC, transfers Bitcoin to child's wallet in piggy bank
- Empty token is “pooped” out the bottom for reuse
- LCD screen displays balance in sats

- Ages 6-12
- Price: $60-70 retail
- Includes extra reusable tokens
- Parent app for management
QUESTIONS:
1. Would you buy this for your kids or as a gift?
2. Is $60-70 the right price point?
3. What security concerns would you have?
4. What features am I missing?
Just doing market research before investing in prototyping. Honest feedback appreciated!
