I've read a lot of threads about whether children should be exposed to things like Bitcoin and at what age, and opinions are divided on this, probably because people in different cultures raise their children differently. Although I personally advocated the position that children should be allowed to enjoy their childhood as long as possible, somehow it seems to me that at some point they should be introduced to the fact that Bitcoin exists and how it works.
My opinion is that children should be at least 12+ years old to present such things to them, and of course the simplest presentation would be through a video like the one you can see in this topic. What is your opinion on this topic and do you think that children should be educated about Bitcoin?

I think it’s best that they learn about it if they are interested in it. Asking them if they are willing to understand what is the best way to have money and how you could save that would accrue a lot of money in terms of interest (with the price of the market). What makes it even more important to have the knowledge of having limited supply as well.
Maybe helping them setup a wallet and you could help them earn and deposit to them when they did something good.
Overall, I’m all for education.
-
I personally do not recommend children to learn about bitcoin because they will later know what bitcoin is from the internet, YouTube, and even from social media, because bitcoin is not the basis of education, it is more about investment and the right time to invest is probably over the age of 17, which can be said to be mature enough to manage their own money.

I never talked to my kid about bitcoin
I talk with him about money a lot (as everything costs money). I am think he is too young to understand the causes of inflation, government control, central bank...
At 12+, I think I will do that I might even give some bitcoin to him in a mobile wallet.

At a young age, what parents want, is for their kids to be learned first by focusing on their studies before bringing about other things they should start up with.
Children should be educated on what's on their level of reasoning, not what's above them that involves money because time for that will come when they will learn all that from the school they attend, the internet or from friends they mingle with.
To me, educating children at a young age about bitcoin is not the necessary thing to do as a parent. Our children should first learn how to care for themselves and differentiate good from evil. When they learn about this, other things might follow. By then, they have learned how to save money

Actually you have said it all because 12+ is just the perfect age for any parents to start teaching there children the ways of Bitcoin, however in most cases people feel that the early age is the best time to teach children about Bitcoin but what they failed to understand is that teaching children about Bitcoin at a very tender age like 7 or 8 years could possibly have some effect on the children because they could hardly understand what is good or bad and before they realize it could influence them negatively.
But the moment a child is 12 years they would be ready to understand what Bitcoin is all about and also know the risk associated and with this it will be very difficult for that child to gamble with an investment if giving the opportunity.

I am with the same opinion that 12+ would be a good starting point for children to get exposed gradually to financial concepts including cryptocurrency like Bitcoin. Parents should be teaching their children on managing money and yes also investing so they would end up financially independent when they grow up and not be slaves to the usual workplace. Bitcoin must be included in financial literacy program that parents must adopt...the only problem is when the parents are themselves not financially independent and not good in investing money which in this case they have nothing to teach their children of and this can be the case where schools should come in.
-
Thank you all for your comments - and I think we can agree that children should learn at an appropriate age that there is something like Bitcoin, because if they get too used to fiat and bank cards, it may be much more difficult for them to explain how bad that system is and that there is an alternative.
However, I believe that any education in this direction should be without any pressure - a video of a few minutes can clearly show us whether someone wants to know more or is simply not interested in such things at that moment. What is most important to me is that children understand that Bitcoin is not just some "get rich quick" scheme, but that it is much more than that.
-
I'd say that 12 years old should be educated about bitcoin and of course, the final decision is up to them where your aim is to educate them about bitcoin and let them decide if they will get involved in cryptocurrency like bitcoin or not at all. It would have been great if I know about bitcoin when I was younger. It takes about 9 years before I know about bitcoin although as many people have said, it's not too late or it is never too late to be in bitcoin.
-
What you are expecting is what we think. The problem is that after exposing the kids with Bitcoin, will they understand? It is understood that kids, who are exposed to something new will always ask questions.
Looking at the current situation they will obliged and they will understand the significance of Bitcoin. It is a genuine initiative to make Bitcon more adopted.

Well yeah kids above 12 might not understand it at once but their curiousity will drive their interest on Bitcoin as crazy as we did today when they are really willing to learn about it and that is a good sign of them having interest in something that is futuristic. A good teacher will make their kids a good listener and learner so I am very positive about this though this also depends on how we teach them and how interested they are but yeah it really depends upon the situation.

Bitcoin was created by Satoshi nakamoto with the purpose of breaking the barriers in p2p transactions by removing a third party from transactions with is locally know as the fiat banking institutions. And it was successful, and this even made long distance transactions to become much easier and faster compared to passing through the usual procedures with traditional fiat banks. However from a younger age, they can start learning theoretically what bitcoin is, and its advantages that supercedes fiat banks. That could help them understand better the importance of bitcoin. Bitcoin is not a difficult to understand so why wait for very long time before teaching them about bitcoin, sometimes you'll be shocked that they have already gotten a misinformation from their peers because you failed to educate them about it on time and that could lead to trust issues or refusal to accept bitcoin, and if they refuse to accept bitcoin how then can we pass it on to the next generation?

As a parent then it would really be that depending on you but it would really be the best spot is on the age on where they are already that matured enough on learning up things and
they are really that already on the state on where curiosity and other behaviors is really that quite evident on which this is the moment that you will really be kicking up some information
on which you could really be able to teach them but of course it would really be that something situational. Its true that let them be able to experience and cherish out their childhood
rather than on forcing them to know things on which it doesnt supposed to be learnt up immedaite specially on young age.
-
i believe we should slowly integrate bitcoin to our children's lives regardless of their age but not in a way that it puts too much pressure on them they will learn it sooner or later anyway since bitcoin is the future of tech and finance so why don't we help to make it easier?
i think giving out many information at 12 is less desirable than slowly but constantly explaining a few aspects of bitcoin from when growing up besides a kid is more likely to retain some information if it is taught to them at an early age and constantly is reminded of it
-
Yeah is fine if children are educated about Bitcoin, when they are of age they can decide weather to invest or not to invest, is also a form of education so there's nothing wrong with it, when you educate your children about investment when they come of age they will see the need of investment.
I know of a man who has been accumulating Bitcoin for some years now and he has decided to transfer all his Bitcoin to his children in this kind of case is good to start teaching them about Bitcoin at an early stage of there life, if children are educated about Bitcoin it will be more easy for them to know about it, some people went through a lot for some time just to learn about Bitcoin and some made mistakes along the line so is better to teach children about Bitcoin so when they come of age they will not find it hard or make mistakes.
However when teaching them about Bitcoin please let do it slowly no need to rush them to learn it, they are still children, and what we should teach them are just the basic knowledge about Bitcoin investment and not all about Bitcoin.
A lot of people are of the opinion that there's no need teaching your children about Bitcoin since they will still learn it on social media or as they come of age, now my question is what is wrong in teaching a child the basics of Bitcoin, is a form of education and is a good impactful one since it will help them as they come of age so I see nothing wrong with it.
-
I have tried asking my kid to read what Bitcoin sometime ago. She answered its a digital money, thats all she replied. She was right at some point but maybe later I will ask for more details like what blockchain is.
When the time comes that BTC is already adopted everywhere the kids would have to adopt crypto. Maybe they will participate in the forum as well.
-
I would say yes, preferably as part of general economic education. Although it should be limited to fundamental stuff, while correcting common misconception (such as Bitcoin is ponzi or anonymous).
My opinion is that children should be at least 12+ years old to present such things to them, and of course the simplest presentation would be through a video like the one you can see in this topic. What is your opinion on this topic and do you think that children should be educated about Bitcoin?
It's somewhat good example, although i feel the character talk too fast.

Age has no limits and there are children who are so smart in a way that even at age 5 they knows what is bitcoin and everything that relates with it, the problem is they wouldn't know how to control their personal security key such as the seed phrase and private key they would generate. Children are far way very smarter than the adults we think that knows more better, some of them could start now and when they gets to age 12 then they are already guru in programing and coding.
-
As we know that time is changing day by day and we are stepping into the new world of technology where we can see a lot of digital businesses exist these days, like Amazon, eBay, Bitcoin, Shopify many more. Rather than if we compare our time to this time so we will realize that time is now changed. OP the age you mentioned is good for the children so I think we should introduce to them these business models step by step at this age. Although we know that this generation is used to mobile devices so they can pick these things easily.
A couple of weeks ago my father advised me to stand my children with me as soon as possible and he was referring it to the physical business which is also a good thing but at that time I thought children should educate themselves first and during the period of education they can also adopt these online business model as part-time. So, in this way, they can achieve their goals at a very young age and become a successful person in a young age. I have seen many young kids grow in this way, they have made their future bright through these online business models.

Kids at age seven and above pretty much know the basic value of money. They might not be that good at calculating yet but they understand they can buy things with money. I think it's also a good age to introduce bitcoin as a mode of payment. They can learn more about the tech behind it as they grow older.

Not for me, even though its been that told in school about money but my children arent that too familiar about money since im that providing all the things they do need.
They do know to count but the other basic stuffs arent something that they do know about. it would really be just that depending on how they would really be that
dealing up with things or making up some question. As a parent then you would really be eventually be able to point out or notice out if they are really that prepared on learning
something like Bitcoin or crypto as a whole.

Agree. At least, the children should be in Junior high school. You're right, 12+ is an age of Junior high school students. When they are in Junior high school, they can easier to understand Bitcoin although we only need to introduce general things about Bitcoin. In my opinion, we don't need to learn them specifically about trading Bitcoin or investing in Bitcoin. Just focus on introducing the history of Bitcoin, the functions, its advantages, and its role in life. We also can tell about the development and adoption of Bitcoin around the world if they can understand it. I think it is enough to tell them about these.

You are right and this is what some parents should know about this age of technology we are now. Educate your children earlier about the ravelling technology that will be impactful to them in the future. You can teach them about financial technology from a young age and not necessarily exposing to wealth itself from that age. A kids brain is far far smarter than an adults own and they can comprehend things faster than an adult will. What they learn from young age becomes glue to them forever if they understand it from young age, so teaching them about financial technology from young age is not a bad idea.

I really wish I had someone that thought me about my financial literacy when I know nothing about money and economics, it would have helped me avoided some of the mistakes I have made in my teens. When I have a child tomorrow, that's going to be the first priority in everything he does, even if he has a talent or any gift, financial literacy will come with it because it's needed in every stage of life.
Bitcoin is one of the best way to achieve it, teach them while young but you don't have to be practical about it and even if you have to, don't allow them to have access to it, they can be curious you know and will want to spend the Bitcoin you might have set aside for them.

Every parent has a different way of educating their children, when they know bitcoin from other people I will not forbid them to know more about bitcoin, but I emphasize that I personally will not explain in detail before they are old enough to carry out financial transactions independently.
and for me I will not feel like I have failed to educate a child because my child does not understand bitcoin at an early age as you said, but I feel like I have failed if my child does not know and is far from his God and does not have good manners in socializing

There is no doubt that we should allow children to enjoy their childhood but a time will come when they will become young and curse you for not giving them the options or facilities available for them to make their life more easier. I think we should not take Bitcoin as a burden because it is not. When a child turns 11 to 14 we should introduce them what is Bitcoin and blockchain.
No doubt that children adapt to the environment they are growing, so some become mentally mature faster than others. I prefer this age because children adopt a lot in this age. If you will show them the right way to achieve some goals then they will follow it (if they), and a time will come when they won't curse you then.
In short, we should educate children, they take schools as a burden so if they take the education of btc and Blochain as a burden and an enemy to their fun then let them take it. They will praise this burden in the future.

As our personality is different so are our thoughts and decisions. I respect your decision if that is what you propose, but what if the child gets curious probably because she/he watched a video where they mentioned bitcoin, and start asking questions, are you still going to leave them behind the shadows, when they can get the basic knowledge ASAP? Teaching your children to know God is very important, there is no doubt about that, but like I said earlier, teaching from a much younger age is what I recommend so that, at age 14 the child is already equipped with enough knowledge on how it works and can make transactions. Swiftly without making any possible mistakes like coping the wrong address or incomplete address. Its very obvious children of these days are getting much smarter and curious to know things.

Basically, this kind of knowledge can be given to children. It's just that what each country considers to include this topic in the lesson is the readiness of the children themselves. Because of course it will be different in each country. And what is certain is, how wise is it to give knowledge about Bitcoin and crypto to children in school?
This will depend on the purpose. Because in elementary school, I once read that Bitcoin was introduced to them. This was only introduced, not taught with a theory that was difficult to understand. So, if the intention is to simply introduce it with language and also very easy descriptions, illustrations that are easy to understand and interesting for children, elementary school but for classes that are already high in their level, maybe they can accept this. It's just that they don't really understand what Bitcoin is theoretically.
However, if it is already at a more advanced level such as junior or senior high school, at the age of 12 years and above, maybe the theory can be included little by little. But not yet very technical. Because how the development of the child's brain is different, the ability to grasp is also different. So if it is a public school, then maybe the reception of information and the ability to receive information related to Bitcoin more technically will be quite difficult.
Yes, the point is, it will depend on:
- stage of the child's age development
- The average level of the child's ability (because sometimes the curriculum is different, but the discussion topics are adjusted to the conditions of each school)
- The majors available at the school.

Yes, each parents may have their own way to educate the children. However, I also will never force my children to know Bitcoin too early. Bitcoin isn't something related to children matter, it is for people who have knowledge about investment. Children won't think about investment, they must enjoy their life. I personally prefer to introduce Bitcoin to my children when they are already 18+, I think it is the age of students of Senior high school. At that age, they already have enough knowledge to understand Bitcoin. I think it is not to late to learn them Bitcoin at 18+. Why we must hurry to introduce the children under 18?
-
I agree with others, 12+ seems like the ideal age to start teaching them about it. But we need to start teaching kids about economy as well, schools do not have economy for some reason, I am sure there is a big reason behind it, but every year should have an economy related class. You do not have to make it like a ton of class, like even 1 hour per week is more than enough to be fair, and start that from like age 10 or so if you ask me, start with very simple stuff, or you could still start at 12 too ,but keep doing that until they go to college. That would be like six years of classes, even if you do like just 30 weeks a year (I don't remember how many weeks high schools are) that would still be 180 hours of education, probably a lot more, and that could change a persons life.

I am a father of 3 myself, and to be honest with you, I have no plan of ever introducing bitcoin to any of my children until they are above 18 years of age respectively, this is because for a child or teenager that is still in school, I see introducing such one to bitcoin as a distraction, it's just like a student who has gotten him or herself involved in gambling, such one will hardly find time to ever focus on his or her studies.
So personally, I am of the opinion that children should be allowed to enjoy their childhood for as long as possible, when they have grown up and done with school, and are ready to start working and earning money for themself, I believe we as parents won't even have to teach them what bitcoin is since they would have already learnt it all themselves through social media and friends.
-
I am hesitant to teach bitcoin to children. I think with their limited knowledge, they have a hard time understanding some financial terms and they also probably have a hard time visualizing it in their minds.
Bitcoin is advanced knowledge that I think is ideal to teach when they are teenagers.
-
"Children" are too young to care about Bitcoin, in fact most of them do not even have an allowance.
But teenagers? Yeah, go knock yourself out. These are people who are just learning about how to earn money and what jobs are like and that kind of stuff and BTC could be that "spark" that makes all of the possibilities come into life for them.

I agree with you because including me I cannot teach a child about Bitcoin since I know that they have not really come of age to understand what Bitcoin is all about and besides there is no even need to rush our children into learning about Bitcoin because already we know that Bitcoin is not a complex investment that requires so much technical analysis, so actually anytime the child come of age they would always easily understand Bitcoin because they only need to have basic knowledge to be able start there Bitcoin investment.
However the only thing I would agree in terms of teaching the children very early is mostly trading because it has to do with a lot of learning and understanding some technicals, so perhaps since is just all about Bitcoin investment and holding there is no need teaching a child about Bitcoin investment too early.

At what age should we teach children trading? I think from playing with toys and learning numbers, they already know basics buy low sell high. What else should we teach them then, especially if they will not be able to use such knowledge until they hit 18. Exchange wont let them have an account if they are underaged. And how exactly should they learn? Sit and watch you trade? Or trade with their own money? I think children would find a more proper use of their money than trading.
As to bitcoin, I think we could show them only what is blockchain by using bricks, and that would be more than enough for them.
-
Based on OP question I vote for this answer "Yes, this should only be done with children aged 12+"
I think when children have grow up over 12 years old understand well about economic and easy for educating them about bitcoin from how to invest until get withdrawal. In my country Indonesian, many junior high school student around 12 to 15 years old have try to earn money trough bitcoin and altcoin by joining airdrop then spent half reward for investing in bitcoin.
Its would be their future investment and take much profit later exactly bitcoin more promising price increase years by years and when most of them grow up have much assets from bitcoin. I think bitcoin could be one source passive income since learned from 12 years old and growing up later will easily adopt with bitcoin feature.

It is your decision as a parent and I think that you as a parent can best judge when is the best time for your children to be introduced to something. I don't think that 18+ years of age is too late for that, but some kind of basic introduction that would serve as an orientation test could definitely happen at an earlier age.
It is possible that for some children, the introduction of BTC could act as a distraction, but I think that for most of them it would be just one more piece of information that some could add new information to in the future.
So personally, I am of the opinion that children should be allowed to enjoy their childhood for as long as possible, when they have grown up and done with school, and are ready to start working and earning money for themself, I believe we as parents won't even have to teach them what bitcoin is since they would have already learnt it all themselves through social media and friends.
It is true that some people will find out about BTC from the media or from their friends, but I believe that in this way they will also pick up a lot of false information and that they will be exposed to much greater risks than if someone close to them explained it all to them with honest intentions.
Thanks to everyone for the comments so far, they have all been read ;)

That's worse imo, which seems to force children to be more specific crypto business, and we know that trading is riskier than just investing in bitcoin. I won't teach that even when my children are able to make their own money.
You better dig and hone your child's skills that have the potential to produce a lot of crypto someday, let's say your childs can become a writer on various crypto news portals if they like reading.
-
I don't know why there is a belief that bitcoin should or should not be taught, surely they don't have children, I'm 90% sure of that. :)
Man, today's children, S XXI, have grown up in the era of information at their fingertips, so, today, we have become (I'm speaking as a parent) guides of the information that our children receive.
A child between 4 and 6 years old, is on a platform such as... e.g. example; Roblox, buying and selling items, in some cases a little older, 10-12 years old or older, they design these products and put them up for sale, with something called Robux... then, that roughly gives you an idea of how young people learning today, and on perspective on how (they) to deal with bitcoin.
It is an issue that, based on the times we live in, young people today do not wait for information, they demand it.

There is no specific age that is agreed that is proper for you to start to teach your child about Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency as well as financial education. It is just advised to give your child a lot of childhood so that they develop in that aspect as well before you try to introduce them to more serious things like Bitcoin and cryptocurrency as well as financial investments and other opportunities in the economic space. Children can be introduced to bitcoin from an early age in a friendly manner, but they never should be forced to learn it.

Children can be introduced to bitcoin from an early age in a friendly manner, but they never should be forced to learn it.
About the recommended age of the child may be different for each parent, but I choose according to the vote that is made.
Teaching children about Bitcoin when they are 12+ years old, maybe this will be the age that is mature enough to give them knowledge about Bitcoin and so that they can understand and not be burdened with this new knowledge.
The most important thing is how our method as parents teaches these children, can learn while playing so as not to burden their brains and of course learning while playing will provide advantages so that the lessons are easy for children to remember.

My opinion is that children should be at least 12+ years old to present such things to them, and of course the simplest presentation would be through a video like the one you can see in this topic. What is your opinion on this topic and do you think that children should be educated about Bitcoin?
I've did a quick Google search on what age does the children best to teach about Finance and it says at around 13-15 years old, and for me, I guess this is reasonable because at that point, their brain is somewhat developed already at least.
Although this is a subjective topic because not all of us will agree on it, I will teach my future children about Bitcoin and finance in general at that age as well. Like you, I also believe in giving our children the opportunity to enjoy their young years and let them do what they want to do as long as it will not have any bad influence on them in the long term. Teaching them the basics at age 12 would be a good idea, but if the time comes for me, I will teach at least the basics of money first and investing. I might teach him/her how to save his/her money first.

If parents are involved in Bitcoin investment and find it profitable then they will also teach their children about Bitcoin investment and most of their family members will do the same thing. But if parents are not involved then it is not possible that his children will learn from an early age but in my opinion earlier you learn more you will be profitable and with the passage of time you will be an expert in the crypto industry.
Another thing is that children always follow their parents so if they see that their parents are talking about something then they will also show their interest and without learning anything they will understand everything as they will have heard from their parents.
One should teach their children about each and everything from the age of nine or ten because learning is not an easy thing so time will be needed therefore do early if you want a positive response.

Your opinion may be right or not, but according to me, the best age for children to learn is 13 years, as everything they experience at that time has a long-lasting impact on them. We see our children acting or speaking in the language they hear in cartoons, which shows how easily they can pick up things and how quick they are. Instead of regular cartoons, we can introduce them to Bitcoin-themed cartoons so that they will enjoy them, and at the same time, they will learn from them. By the time they turn 13 years old, they will have a substantial amount of knowledge, and you can officially introduce them to the world of Bitcoin..

I picked the second option. Bitcoin is here to stay and has been integrated into our lives. The industries will evolve with Bitcoin as part of them, so it is better to teach children at an age when they can understand what Bitcoin is and how important this technology is.
However, the approach should be customized to their age so they can fully comprehend this technology.

Basically, children are still at the age of playing, so I agree that the approach will be different. We are the ones who have to adjust based on their age, because it is impossible for us to use adult methods on children.
Let everything flow while we provide a situation where they can see bitcoin. For example, we can introduce it in the form of toys and so on. We are required to be creative for that.

In my country Indonesian, many junior high school student around 12 to 15 years old have try to earn money trough bitcoin and altcoin by joining airdrop then spent half reward for investing in bitcoin.
Its would be their future investment and take much profit later exactly bitcoin more promising price increase years by years and when most of them grow up have much assets from bitcoin. I think bitcoin could be one source passive income since learned from 12 years old and growing up later will easily adopt with bitcoin feature.
Are you sure about this? Where do you get the data from? Which school are you referring to? It's pretty hard to believe that pre-teenage kids at those age (which is a middle-schooler) spend a lot of their time hunting airdrops. I heard our education system reduce homework to some degree but most children would rather spend their time playing games, at least that's what happened in my city. I can imagine things will be different in bigger cities where earning money as early as possible is a huge culture, not on other cities though. Btw, I'm specifically referring to the 12-15 age bracket. I'm pretty sure things are different when they become teenager since parents usually demand more contribution from their children, especially if they're not that well off. CMIIW.

I have chosen third option in the vote. I see no big reason why should I educate children about bitcoin. At first, they wont have much of an opportunity to use that knowledge and to use it often. Secondly, why should I even teach it? So they invest early? Or become developers? Until they are 18, I am on duty to provide them with everything, and I should not decide their faith, what if they never want to connect life with technology. Thirdly, I would let them experience, find out and learn everything themselves. They should not totally copy my life and my experience.

Currently, universities are offering programs in BTC and blockchain, but the general education system is not yet ready to teach concepts of crypto and blockchain to pupils under 18. Therefore, I don't think we need to overemphasize BTC education for children.
Each family should decide when to teach their children about money and the economy when they feel that their children are ready to learn about this topic. Personally, I consider BTC as an investment asset similar to gold, stocks, and real estate, so I will only introduce my children to the basic concepts of BTC. I prefer to guide my children in playing with price charts using technical indicators on TradingView ^^

- Personally, my target plan for my son is to teach him Bitcoin little by little from the basics at the age of 9 years old. This is what I really want if it happens—the one who, before finishing elementary school, has this idea and understanding of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies that have potential in the market.
After entering high school, I will teach my son, little by little, how to understand and study it. In his elementary stage, I will teach him the basics of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency, cold wallets, or app wallets, and how to use Bitcoin and other crypto's as well.

If children know about Bitcoin from childhood then it will definitely be positive for Bitcoin. But since it's a technological space, it's definitely not bad if kids learn about Bitcoin after a certain age. If we try to teach kids about bitcoin it may not be suitable for them because those kids under 12 years may forget a lot of things. But if we try to teach children of a certain age approximately more than 12 years about Bitcoin I think it will be effective.

if the kid is already knowledgeable of payment methods i guess it will be easy to teach them unless you plan to make him learn the technical details of BTC including the mining.
i personally would just want them to learn to earn money for themselves and probably learn how to use BTC wallet and blockchain. learning to trade is possible i they are interested but i could stop after, they could decide what else they want to learn from there. i wouldn't encourage going deeper for i may interrupt their interest and pursuing their career of choice.

I think it is good for children to learn about Bitcoin and blockchain, but not because they are our children or our little brothers, but because learning how a technology focused on self-sufficiency works can give more emotional security and develop growth. Whether we like it or not, we live in an increasingly technological world, and the sooner these children learn to independently use the tools that can give them some privacy and financial freedom, the sooner they will learn to be autonomous.
-
I'd agree with OP, 12+ years old is already opening their minds to what we can teach them in life specially with things related to finances and investing. Whether you're wealthy or not, holds a lot of BTC or not, that makes sense to teach them as early as that age going on to their teenage days they will develop the habit of knowing more about Bitcoin and the importance of holding an asset. It is a general knowledge that they'll acquire upon teaching them with that.
-
Let everything flow while we provide a situation where they can see bitcoin. For example, we can introduce it in the form of toys and so on. We are required to be creative for that.
Yeah is a very good method to go about it because there is no way we would expect our children to understand Bitcoin the way we do because there level of understanding is still very little, so actually like you said the best way to go about it is using different forms to approach them such as the kind of game or toys you are talking about and perhaps the person can do it in such a way that everything about Bitcoin will be written on different toys and at the same time marking the ones you fill is not relevant for them as red so that when they sees anything red dot they would know that one is not good for them to play with.

There are different methods to teach Bitcoin to the people and if children are not getting the basic knowledge about Bitcoin easily through the method used by adults then parents should change the way because we cannot force them to learn but we have to make them interested and should enhance their courage towards Bitcoin.
We can help them to understand Bitcoin through watching different videos and it is not a difficult task to make our children capable of learning so it is necessary to use different methodologies for such a purpose but just Bitcoin is no here children should give time to both study and investment as both are necessary.

In my last post about this topic, it is better if you let the children decide if they want to learn about crypto. In order to do that is telling them the benefits that a person can get when they own crypto. So if the children will say that they want to learn then the parents will surely support them unless they don't want their children to learn crypto at all.
-
I personally do not recommend children to learn about bitcoin because they will later know what bitcoin is from the internet, YouTube, and even from social media, because bitcoin is not the basis of education, it is more about investment and the right time to invest is probably over the age of 17, which can be said to be mature enough to manage their own money.
In as much as I agree with you to an extent, I will also want you to know that educating children about Bitcoin is good irrespective of their age bracket but not by force or persuation,although you mentioned education which I Believe is the best way to lay a good foundation for a child but once you tell your children about Bitcoin and they find it interesting then you are good to go because it will even be better for them to learn it at early stage, am only against making it a do or die affair for them to learn it, let not forget that apart from the investment aspect of Bitcoin, Bitcoin is also a technology itself thats used to solve highly mathematical problems which is also part of education, Bitcoin is part of education hence it is part financial system.

This is a process of learning and I don't think you need there consent since is a thing that will benefit them in the future, the only thing one needs to do is teach them little by little, make it look like a play, so they will enjoy it.
If you tell a child to decide going to school or staying at home the child will choose staying at home so you don't need consent from a child to educate them, it is very important to there lives so you need to teach them.
As the world is growing so the system is changing and technology taken over the world and you need to help your children step up and them knowing about Bitcoin in a small age is a very good advantage, a lot of people today are regretting why they didn't invest in Bitcoin 10 years ago and the reason a lot of people refuse to invest in Bitcoin is because they didn't understand how the modern economy system is going, not everything will be taught to children in school that is why we have the responsibility to teach them what will be of benefit to them when they come of age.
A lot of people are saying one should let a child enjoy his or her childhood, I don't see anything wrong with teaching them about Bitcoin and I don't think you teaching them about Bitcoin will stop them from enjoying there childhood same way they are been taught in school is the same way you will teach them at home about Bitcoin, as a parent just look for a way to make the Bitcoin teaching fun to them and they will love it and even understand it.

Well, that's right, the first step that can be done is to let them be interested in bitcoin first, because if they are interested in something, usually children will ask a lot of questions and there is an opportunity for us to explain more seriously.
This is just a matter of process, and in the process we must be very patient to be able to understand what children like or want. Don't let it be because we force them too much that they will not be interested in bitcoin at all.

TBH, I would like to agree with 2 points, Childhood is not to making money and bearing responsibilities, Yup in this competitive world you need to start running early but at the same time you should acknowledge that childhood is a never-returning time, you cant enjoy ever in your life as you enjoy in your childhood. Things are different for teenagers, in high schools the financial markets and risk investment markets should introduced for the betterment of their life style.

Unfortunately, the time in which today's children grow up is completely different from the time in which people who were born 30 or more years ago grew up. As far as I can see from the voting results, even 70% of those who voted agree that children should be educated about Bitcoin after the age of 12+ or even regardless of age.
I have already written that this education does not have to mean that we teach children some complex things, nor that this education should be forced in any way - children at that age learn best through play, and Bitcoin can always be explained in a simple way.
It is always important that when we want to explain to anyone what Bitcoin is, we do it in the simplest possible way, because otherwise people often get discouraged very quickly if you tell them about how to create a wallet, save a seed, adjust the fee for a transaction, and the like.
When children start school, they first learn to write letters and numbers, which is a prerequisite for everything else - it should be the same with getting to know Bitcoin.

You are right but I think when you look deeply into Bitcoin, you will understand that Bitcoin is more than money and asset. You can never make a transaction from any of the traditional market without your privacy been violated but you can do so with Bitcoin right in the comfort of your home without answering any queries and why you are sending such amount.
If Kids can learn more about financial institutions and how life looks in Bitcoin, they will excel. After all fiat money is been learnt right from home, the value of money and what it's used for. What is now stopping Bitcoin from been learn from anywhere.

TBH, people use to say much about the privacy of a transaction and many things related to that, I do believe in privacy but in this world haha, privacy does exist (I'm talking about social media life and in other words life on the internet) even if you ask 90% people won't even be familiar with this term actually, that how their data is getting used, Well that's not pur topic for now. A person who is doing a job, dont even care about the privacy of the transactions as the maximum cycle of his life will be earning, spending on himself and spending on family, and saving a little, Privacy is the desire of a Businessman to control, hide and save money from extra taxes and other things.
Yup for the rest about educating kids, how economic policies are a big scam, around the entire world how they should save their life earnings.

I personally believe that money and assets are merely tools in life. Meaning, if BTC were to become a global asset, it wouldn't be a big deal if my children don't delve deep into BTC. They could comfortably live in the new era of finance with BTC at its center, similar to how we're living quite well without needing to hold gold or $.
I think I'll tell my children about BTC, but only as I teach them about money and personal finance. They'll have plenty of time to pursue other interests like science, arts, and traditional culture instead of focusing on financial events and the big swings on BTC price chart.

It could be overwhelming for the child at the start, but overtime and if he's interested on learning it then I guess he will overcome that and will learn about it in the end.
We can teach our child/children about that, but don't go to a point where you will just throw lots of information on them in a short amount of time. They're children at the end of the day, and they might rather focus on playing than learning it. I agree with what you said that our technology is evolving on a rapid pace. As for me, I would not jump into Bitcoin first, but will learn the fundamentals first like the basics of finance.

I agree but I know a lot of people will still say that "if only I knew this early" so for me I'd rather sacrifice in exchange for an early achievrment of financial freedom than act like normal and keep on working until strength lasts. Though this is just the matter of personal preference but yeah that's what life is.

It is true that at first it can be overwhelming, but it is about knowing how to teach and above all never forgetting that they are children. With patience and making things fun, children are able to learn things much faster than adults, since the neurotransmitters at these stages are much more flexible than when we are adults. After an introduction, it's about teaching with games. It is proven that when children have fun they absorb information and process it in a short time.
Who knows, it is possible that among our brothers, sons and daughters we will have the next Vitalik.

Yes, this should still be the foundation. They must experience their childhood according to their world first. and they cannot be forced to accept or do things that can ruin their childhood fun.
However, if education related to Bitcoin or crypto is just an introduction without the intention of making them jump straight into the crypto world and make money, I think there is nothing wrong with that. as long as it is just an introduction and does not complicate or burden them. because this is insight and children sometimes like new things. so yes, it is our job as parents or educators to understand them too. because there are some small children who have high enthusiasm for this. So, understand our children, what their desires are, what their interests are, and so on, so that we can give them the best things, according to their needs.

This. I'm not knocking on others but we have to look at this through a different lens and not with what we're used to. By the time a kid turns 12 and above, he/she must have heard of bitcoin or crypto a hundred times or more. Thus, I think it's better to educate them the basic things at an earlier age.
-
@Zed0X, I think it is even more important to teach children some things on time, because otherwise they will "learn" from some others who do not have good intentions at all. Bad ideas implanted in a young mind are very difficult to change, and those who direct the world in a direction that suits them primarily target children because they are much easier to manipulate.
An average child in an average country who encounters information about Bitcoin online will mostly have the wrong idea about it until they reach adulthood.

We are different from each other, so we don't have the same perspective on things. Some may say that children should not be taught about crypto because it is complicated to learn and they should not know yet because of their age. But those of us who came from a difficult background, they also do not understand why it is better to teach children about Bitcoin as long as they are interested. I agree to teach the child about crypto as long as it is not forced.

Children should also know about bitcoin and crypto as long as they already have an understanding of money. but if they are too young, they shouldn't. because investing in crypto requires good emotional control. Maybe we can provide a basic understanding of crypto technology, so that they understand that crypto will have a bright future in the future.

Agree. Children has the right to know crypto and Bitcoin. But they must know it in the right time. We don't force to introduce him too early, it will ruin their childhood. The children also will get difficulty to understand it if they are too young to know crypto/Bitcoin. I think the children should be above 12+ to know it in general. Even if we introduce the basic things of crypto/Bitcoin, I think it should at Junior high school at least. This is a proper time to let them know, they already have the ability to understand it. It is not for an elementary school student.

Exactly! I think another thing that people fail to understand is that between Bitcoin and some hyped meme tokens, kids will probably hear more about the latter. Ages 7 to 12 is a lot of time for them to be fed the wrong information from outside sources. I won't be surprised if they might think it's cooler to have cat or dog tokens instead of BTC.

I'm sure that a lot of crypto projects target the younger population (by that I mean those who are at least 16+), by presenting them with something they can identify with - and this can be about tokens that have interesting names - whether it is about some animals, popular words used by young people and similar.
If someone thinks it's wrong for their children to know what Bitcoin is, they should at least try to protect them from bad information and teach them never to invest money in anything that looks suspicious and is offered to them by unknown people online.

Most children above 12 years old understand well with internet access and many of them have been professional operating with gaming,
I believe if teach them about cryptocurrency exactly educate bitcoin will easily understand well. Its not too young teach them about bitcoin and give basic knowledge about bitcoin will helpful later after growing up.
Not matter about age above 12 years old still elementary school or junior high if understand well about internet seems easily for them accept about bitcoin knowledge, I believe many children right now have been smart how easily push their game to higher level will understand well with cryptocurrency.

Agree. Children has the right to know crypto and Bitcoin. But they must know it in the right time. We don't force to introduce him too early, it will ruin their childhood. The children also will get difficulty to understand it if they are too young to know crypto/Bitcoin. I think the children should be above 12+ to know it in general. Even if we introduce the basic things of crypto/Bitcoin, I think it should at Junior high school at least. This is a proper time to let them know, they already have the ability to understand it. It is not for an elementary school student.

Absolutely kids at that age are well doing something on mobile devices or computers especially on the internet so yeah it is not that hard to teach them Bitcoin though the only thing here is that their interest not unless they are smart to jump-into it. But nowadyas they are more active on social media so I think as a stepping stone we let them watch videos regarding crypto especially Bitcoin.

Children of current age are more active on social media as compared to their parents so it is not difficult for them to pick up the necessary points which others teach them. Presently every individual is familiar with the crypto and its investment so surely children who are actively involved in social media will have a good mindset about Bitcoin.
We should introduce different sources through which they can learn about Bitcoin and also we have to share pros and cons of crypto with them so they will be familiar with everything due to which they will become successful investors in future.

Of a truth they are really active on social medias nowadays because of the access they have to various devices to operate independently, this accessibility gives them power to read information on media to understand what is bitcoin but as parents they needs your guidance to know how to go with it. When proper knowledge is given to them it would be much easier to control their investment when they finally made their decisions to into bitcoin or cryptocurrency investment.

Parental guidance must always be implemented to children, they still do not have experience about the harshness of life in this world. Especially when they are discussing the economy, we know that Bitcoin has been around for several years. So as parents we can suggest and provide good direction on how to invest properly and correctly. Give various kinds of mistakes that we have experienced as parents to children, that way they have the experience given by their parents and can avoid it from happening again in the future to our children.

I can say out of 90 percent of our children behavior today are from parenting any woman or man who could take care of their home today would have a peaceful family in time to come, that is to say if the parents are so mindful with all they do because characters of parents influence children and their overall life performance because to whatever you (we) induced in their hearts today that is what they definitely grows up with and I must say there should be thorough discipline in us to avoid our children making same mistake we have already made which we as parents must try all our possible best to bring them up in a rightful way.

I have chosen children to be educated about Bitcoin regardless of their age in the pool and the reason is because there are children below 12 years that are smart and could comprehend the knowledge of Bitcoin to some level at a tender age. Although they cannot start investing in Bitcoin immediately because they do not have the money at that age However, such children when they grow to over 12 years nothing about Bitcoin would be knew to them, what they would do is start getting more knowledge about it and at that age, they are capable of managing a bitcoin holding. Am not talking about trading I focus on the basic knowledge of Bitcoin. It takes a more mature mind and emotional control to be able to trade Bitcoin as it requires a higher level of understanding and tolerance.

What is the knowledge you're referring to here? How to make transaction, how to trade, and so on? I guess I can see how children learn about it easily. I recall seeing a video where someone tries to explain how Bitcoin works (the techinal part of it) to a 5 year old kid and they kinda understand it, albeit through analogies and so on. I don't think smart children are common though, maybe they don't have interest on learning about making money either unless their life is difficult. I know one or two junior school student who work after school, and they are very interested on trading etc because they believe it can help them earn money easily.

- I don't think there's anything wrong if we just give the children a familiarization about how to use Bitcoin; it's not necessary to explain to them the technical things about it; always hinfi, that's the right way to educate them about Bitcoin.
Even if it's just Bitcoin first and not the other cryptocurrency first, Then teach them the basics of what Bitcoin is and how it is used or converted into money, and familiarize them with wallet apps or exchanges on how to buy or exchange in trade or exchange.

Teaching or not, it would all comes down naturally on which we know that when it comes to this aspect where children nowadays are really that easily to learn up things
even though it means that it might not be coming from into their parents but rather it would really be something that they are really that able to encounter or able to
see up and later on they did make out some research. For me on this case then i wont really be letting my kids be that too pressed when it comes on learning up things.
Yes, sharing up information about Bitcoin or crypto is ideal but it would be just that right on telling them on the right time.

Most of the children have active minds because they go with the changing technology and do what their elders do so I think there will be a smooth way for them to learn about Bitcoin as they are already involved in social media and learning through using their mobiles.
It is not necessary that they will invest by themselves at the start but it can also be possible that parents make an investment in Bitcoin for them and then teach them through using different ways so after a few years they will understand each and everything so handling digital investment will be a feasible way of receiving money.

.....
My opinion is that children should be at least 12+ years old to present such things to them, and of course the simplest presentation would be through a video like the one you can see in this topic. What is your opinion on this topic and do you think that children should be educated about Bitcoin?
Can I reply to this old thread with a new quote based on my own personal experience?
12 years old is still seen in my neighborhood but overall in my country there must be 1 or 2 children who can already make Game applications on Android.
Unfortunately, learning about Bitcoin seems very complicated and those who are 12 years old are more inclined to play behind the house with their neighbor's friends.
Unless maybe they are over 17 years old or when they enter vocational school, because in my neighborhood for vocational school there are majors such as cars, motorbikes, banking, computers, electricity, welding etc.
So when they are in vocational school maybe they can learn about Bitcoin in class but that is also for those who are interested if they are not interested maybe they play a lot or even run away from school.

Actually, I agree with your opinion, if parents start investing and teach their children about investing in crypto, but we also have to tell them about the risks of investing in crypto so that they understand and know about the very volatile crypto market. Let children understand about crypto technology, because many people think that crypto is the technology of the future, so as early as possible they should know about it.

As much as we like to educate our kids to learn crypto, there is also a threat about their growth in relating to reality and social life.
The way to connect to people these days is just diffirent from how older generations do it. Studies shows we need to limit their screen time and social media exposure. But allowing them to learn crypto will also need them to focus on screen. Its hard to balance this already when they learn P2E games.

But allowing them to learn crypto will also need them to focus on screen. Its hard to balance this already when they learn P2E games.
"Screens" have of course become a real obsession of young people, to the extent that I read that some company will soon release a product on the market in the form of a case for mobile phones/tablets that can be locked, and the key can then be entrusted to a close person.
However, in order to educate someone about Bitcoin, no technology is needed to begin with - because the basics can be explained using very simple tools such as paper and pencil or with a simple explanation. When I opened this topic, I did not think that children should immediately be taught how to make crypto wallets and make transactions, because legally they cannot buy BTC until they are of age.
When we build a house, we need the foundations to begin with, but that doesn't mean that we have to build walls, ceilings and roof right away - education should be gradual from the basics to the more complex things.

I've read a lot of threads about whether children should be exposed to things like Bitcoin and at what age, and opinions are divided on this, probably because people in different cultures raise their children differently. Although I personally advocated the position that children should be allowed to enjoy their childhood as long as possible, somehow it seems to me that at some point they should be introduced to the fact that Bitcoin exists and how it works.
My opinion is that children should be at least 12+ years old to present such things to them, and of course the simplest presentation would be through a video like the one you can see in this topic. What is your opinion on this topic and do you think that children should be educated about Bitcoin?
In my opinion, introducing bitcoin coins to 12-year-old children is not necessary because at their age they have to learn subjects implemented by their school and I am afraid that if they are taught bitcoin education they will not be able to enjoy their youth and school subjects. If they learn bitcoin then in the future they will work hard to get money and at their age they are not worthy of earning their own money.

CZ, ex ceo of Binance is working into some new project related to education, where he wanna to introduce anyone into crypto, removing the walls that blockchain might have for regular people.
Soo im sure children should and have to be educated about crypto in general, not only Bitcoin, going deep into blockchain as this is a something very interesting and with huge usecases.

If CZ has a new project plan related to education, this is good because it can educate students to know more about crypto and the technology in it, blockchain technology. I personally also agree with this, children who are over 12 years old should know about bitcoin and altcoins. Because in the future, crypto technology will be needed and more popular in the future.
-
As for me, i will make every necessary efforts in making bitcoin worth taking for my children to learn and on now about it right from their early stage, this will help them have more desirable understandings and insights about bitcoin network, because children has good ability to learn fast and assimilate quick, it will also be for our own benefits if our children have the required exposure to Bitcoin because they may have more understanding to learning it.

I am with the same opinion that 12+ would be a good starting point for children to get exposed gradually to financial concepts including cryptocurrency like Bitcoin. Parents should be teaching their children on managing money and yes also investing so they would end up financially independent when they grow up and not be slaves to the usual workplace. Bitcoin must be included in financial literacy program that parents must adopt...the only problem is when the parents are themselves not financially independent and not good in investing money which in this case they have nothing to teach their children of and this can be the case where schools should come in.
Yes, 12+ is a great age to start teaching your children about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies as part of educating them on financial literacy. Parents don't need to explain everything about Bitcoin all at once. There are ways to discuss these that are age-appropriate. Introducing basic concepts of money and digital currencies can begin as early as elementary school. At this age, children can grasp simple ideas about what money is and how it has evolved from physical to digital forms. As they grow older, particularly during their teenage years, they may be ready for topics like blockchain technology, the risks and benefits of investing, and the importance of digital security.
I don't think teaching children about money, digital or fiat, prevents them from enjoying their childhood. When they see their parents using money, credit cards, or Venmo, they will ask questions. And you can't wait till they're older to explain it to them; same goes for Bitcoin. Just make sure that your answers fit their age. Usually, they just need a simple explanation. No need for a "lecture" until they're older.

Children should start to know and understand crypto and all digital technologies that are likely to come in the digital era. Many people predict that in the future digital currency will dominate. Maybe by preparing the current young generation to start to know and understand the progress of digital technology, at least we are trying to provide opportunities for our young generation in this case our children so that they are not left behind.

While general public should be more educated about bitcoin and crypto in general, problem I see here is that he might teach people some plainly wrong things.
For example, some time ago he stated that for 99.99% of the people it would be best to keep their crypto on centralized exchanges because average people can't handle being their own bank. So instead teaching people how to safely store their money on their own non-custodial wallet, he may teach them to give their money and responsibility of storing them to someone else.

I am sure, children under 10 years old are educated by watching cartoon films like the embedded video will only add to the happy impression of the animated story, they may not realize that Bitcoin is there as a digital crypto currency that is quite considered for the current era... I agree with the OP, who suggested providing further bitcoin education at a young age (12+)... through cartoons like that, maybe the child will start to be creative when they are 16+, of course every child has different developments...
Too early to teach something that is not their field, will only make the child feel pressured... we cannot suppress their desires that are still focused on something fun.
-
I personally do not recommend children to learn about bitcoin because they will later know what bitcoin is from the internet, YouTube, and even from social media, because bitcoin is not the basis of education, it is more about investment and the right time to invest is probably over the age of 17, which can be said to be mature enough to manage their own money.
Age is irrelevant to the maturity in my opinion, someone who is 10 may even provide for their family instead of pursuing their happiness due to their situation but talking on the wider scale there could be a limit but I don't know whether it will work cause kids get their hands in kindergarten itself so soon if they are matured enough to read and understand they can know about Bitcoin but my suggestion will be instead of exposing our kids to Bitcoin we need to educate them about the importance of money.

Everything has its positive and negative side. It's true that we do not teach children about how money works, but we teach them math in their class. Twelve-year-old children are fifth —or sixth graders, sometimes seventh graders. It is not too early to learn about Bitcoin. There is nothing wrong with introducing them to ,to it, but you have to be careful how you teach it.
You don't have to make him understand that it is easy to make money using Bitcoin. But you can let him know how Bitcoin works, how Bitcoin provides privacy of his money, why privacy is important and many more. If they know why privacy is important, they will get the whole thing.

For me then i wont really be tending it to be that kind of mandatory or something that i would really be doing it on a forceful way but rather it would really be that better that you should really be that teaching them on the time that you do see them that they are already that prepared or knowledgeable enough when it comes to financial aspect.If not, then teaching them might really be that not be able to easily absorbed or would really be that easily be learnt just because they arent that interested or having no idea at all. This is why it would really be best that teaching them on the right time will really be that much considered or something that much better.

I agree with you. The need for separate knowledge about Bitcoin should not be a priority for kids as they will learn to understand the importance of money alongside their regular studies. When they understand the importance of real assets, they may also have an idea of alternative sources of wealth, even the valuable assets related to Bitcoin, but it is better to be limited.

Numbers and money aren't exactly the same, money is more wider subject that need to be covered economics, politics, legal stuffs and banking which is the reason why most of people don't really know what and how money is made still they use it everyday ironically they run for their entire life to make that money, so enabling the knowledge about money is needed but it should not be limited to Bitcoin alone.

Have you noticed that in school, they don't teach you about money, they will never teach you how to make money but will teach you all the theories about money, that's the difference between school, formal education and street education. You can't learn street education in school but you can learn formal education in school but these days, people give priority to street education.
Formal education put you in big place of the system created but if you don't have the means, better stick to street education, this is where Bitcoin and the rest fall into category. Money concept will never be thought in school in my opinion no matter how we support it.

As far as I know, it has nothing to do with crypto, just financial education and financial literacy that's it.
And so as parents, of course we want to teach our crypto all about money, but I would slow down about Bitcoin and crypto in general. However, with the advent of social media, I've seen young kids involving themselves into crypto or even anything about money, like becoming entrepreneur. So even if we don't want to teach them, sooner or later our kids will learn it whether we like it or not. So perhaps we can enter the picture and be supportive about them if they are really that interested.

I know that numbers and money aren't the same. But when we teach our kids, their questions in the book are like you have ten dollars, your friend gave you another five dollars; how many do you have? Haha. I know it's just math and nothing else. It's important for children to learn math not just for money, but for everything.
But as I said, twelve years is good enough to introduce children to Bitcoin, and they should know how Bitcoin provides privacy to its users. How Bitcoin gives you freedom to be your own bank. It's important to let them know the difference between the traditional banks and Bitcoin. So, they will be able to choose what to pick from their young age.

That's right, he actually clearly said with that statement that in a way all those who prefer self-custody are actually "unintelligent" to be their own bank - from which comes one of my questions "Do you want your children to be taught by people like CZ or will you learn them yourself?"
In addition, CZ is no longer the CEO, at least not since he barely escaped prison in the US by paying several billion dollars in fines because he worked "honestly"
By the way, welcome to the forum @Rikafip :)

Dunno, 12 years old I've been surrounded seemed like way too young to comprehend something like bitcoin and I would personally wait for at least few more years before introducing them to it. Having said that, kids should be taught about value of the money from the very early age.
In addition, CZ is no longer the CEO, at least not since he barely escaped prison in the US by paying several billion dollars in fines because he worked "honestly"
Wasn't he sentenced to 4 months in prison?
By the way, welcome to the forum @Rikafip :)
Thanks man. I've actually teleported my account right after bitcointalk mixer ban, but I've been too busy irl to actually be active here. Things are calmer now so you can expect to see me around on the daily basis. ;)

Numbers and money aren't exactly the same, money is more wider subject that need to be covered economics, politics, legal stuffs and banking which is the reason why most of people don't really know what and how money is made still they use it everyday ironically they run for their entire life to make that money, so enabling the knowledge about money is needed but it should not be limited to Bitcoin alone.
I know that numbers and money aren't the same. But when we teach our kids, their questions in the book are like you have ten dollars, your friend gave you another five dollars; how many do you have? Haha. I know it's just math and nothing else. It's important for children to learn math not just for money, but for everything.
But as I said, twelve years is good enough to introduce children to Bitcoin, and they should know how Bitcoin provides privacy to its users. How Bitcoin gives you freedom to be your own bank. It's important to let them know the difference between the traditional banks and Bitcoin. So, they will be able to choose what to pick from their young age.
Ok, if you want to teach a 12 year old about Bitcoin and privacy, how would you explain why a person need privacy payment? Because it will allow to hide payment from government? I think it isnt good to teach children from very childhood that government is something bad and they should try to do something to have advantage over government. It is like trying to scare children with police by saying “if you wont do that, police would come and take you to jail” (I know in some countries parents do that to make kids behave). That is wrong. When they grow up, they already dont have a trust to police.

I don't think any one want get privacy with bitcoin because to hidden their transaction from government but from any one else has potential with criminal cases. You can imagine when some one have many bitcoin assets in their wallet but not privacy yet how large potential get criminal cases every day many people try to attack him stole bitcoin assets.
Teach children about bitcoin is not only about how to make privacy and hidden from government but also teach them to see bigger opportunity with bitcoin to earn much profitable one day later trough long term investment or make daily trading.
All parent teach their children for getting opportunity earn profitable with bitcoin not as how to get privacy or learning about money laundering potential with bitcoin.

If I gave my opinion about these then I will say it should be done, regardless of their age. But giving access them to bitcoin or any financial that should be in after certain age and 12+ years can be the Ideal option.
We do need to tech them about bitcoin regardless of their age because like we do them tech about the traditional Fiat eco system to generate some Idea about the Economics like bitcoin has also chance to be the part of financial eco system so it is indeed they need to educated about this.

It varies from country to country and society to society. You don't have to teach your kids to hide your money from the government. Bitcoin is not just private money; it helps you to be your own bank. You don't have to scare them. But you should teach them the benefits of Bitcoin. You can withdraw your money whenever you want, and no one is going to ask what you are going to do with your own money.
I don't like banks asking me why I am withdrawing my own money and what I am going to do with my own money. It's my own business. Don't move it in a negative way; think positive and be positive. Bitcoin is not a bad thing and not a forbidden thing.

Yes i will also vote for this should only be done with children aged 12+. Because Bitcoin will be a very necessary coin for the future and those who don't know about this Bitcoin then will find themselves very backward. Because in the future people who don't know about Bitcoin and don't use Bitcoin will never be considered smart people. So definitely we need to educate the next generation about science. But since Bitcoin is not a simple thing and it is very valuable, children under the age of 12 should never try to teach it. Because then they are completely minor due to which they will not understand their importance. But at the age of 12+ it is much easier to teach children any subject and they can master it very quickly. So I would advise everyone not to try to force Bitcoin on a child before 12 years old.

That's right, he got even 4 months in prison, which, as far as I can see, he's currently serving in some prison in California that looks more like a vacation spot than a prison. I guess that's something you get when you pay $4.3 billion in fines and solemnly promise not to launder money and do other bad things.

Ah, I thought that you said he managed to avoid the prison, that's why I asked. Even though, 4 months in prison is bascially like avoiding it.

I think it might be different from country to country, but I have noticed, that kids value or “understand” cash money mostly. They believe more to something that they can feel in hands. They understand what it is pay by card, but they like more when they have cash/banktones. Thus will they understand if we explain them that they can be their own bank?
I havent tried explaining crypto, as my kids is still young. But I think that even if I do that, my kid wont understand much as there is no way how to use that knowledge.

I will try to educate them when they have the ability to understand when they are in primary level the reason I have already mentioned in my previous post. I think this is very important when they could understand the fiat currencies as well. In the near future bitcoin or cryptocurrency will be used same like we do use the fiat currencies.
And what I think about teaching them not only before the 12years old I will say nothing will be good when we will force to learn. Teach them every thing wisely like they enjoy that.

I support your opinion. Children above 12 years of age can be given an idea about Bitcoin but it is also not mandatory. When someone crosses the age of 16 they can be given a proper guide about Bitcoin. see Bitcoin is money and a 12 year old kid will never care about money because he didn't learn the value of money at that time. when a child crosses the age of 16, maturity begins to set in and he/she begins to understand the difference between good and bad. so I think that's the perfect time to start teaching someone about Bitcoin.

Snip
In my country, The National Policy of Education stated it clear that, children should start formal education at the age of 6 years. And at that stage they have the cognitive and psychomotor and affective domain will be effective to be used. And when they start school what are they learning. At first, in the first three months, it is the memorising of the Alphabets and counting of Numbers from 1-100 and the next six months is for the formation of words and memorising of two letters words. And three terms formed one educational calendar in a year. And each term contains three months for learning and one month for examinations and testing the students like evaluating the students of what they have learnt. So at this early stage of education, children are not allowed or it is not good to teach them bitcoin but from the class three (year 3) and when they have reached 8-9 years. They can learn bitcoin because at that stage they can spell and write.
So teaching them bitcoin at the age of 8-9 or 10 is good but not at the early stage that they are just entering school. Learning has stages. And as you said it has or follow different cultures.
-
Bitcoin education is very crucial and both the young and old should not be exempted from having the knowledge about bitcoin, we have to take into cognizance the children as well in this aspect because they are the ones that will take over after us tomorrow in cryptocurrency and we need to start grooming them now in other to equip them with the basics for understanding what cryptocurrency is, all thanks to country like El-Salvador were bitcoin is been taught in schools among other countries that have taken this same idea up to educate the young ones.

Yes, education is very necessary and it is not only about bitcoin, but for everything. But of course we have to adjust based on their age. It is impossible for us to teach them university lessons to children who are still in elementary school.
It is our job to find out what is right for them. Especially if we are parents, we should already know our children's character very well, and we can include education about bitcoin.
-

You want to teach 8-10 years old about bitcoin or crypto? What exactly would kids learn that age? They are already shocked at that age that they are not kindergarden anymore and now experience school life, and you want to add a new thing to learn for them. I hope that kids will at least remember something when they are matures enough to use or trade crypto.
Honestly, I dont see much benefits from that knowledge at such early age. A can identically teach them how to take pictures properly, edit them in photoshop and sell at stockexchanges, but they will find such knowledge as “no where to use” and forget about it.
-
I've read a lot of threads about whether children should be exposed to things like Bitcoin and at what age, and opinions are divided on this, probably because people in different cultures raise their children differently. Although I personally advocated the position that children should be allowed to enjoy their childhood as long as possible, somehow it seems to me that at some point they should be introduced to the fact that Bitcoin exists and how it works.
My opinion is that children should be at least 12+ years old to present such things to them, and of course the simplest presentation would be through a video like the one you can see in this topic. What is your opinion on this topic and do you think that children should be educated about Bitcoin?
Teaching kids about things like bitcoin and cryptocurrency can be an important topic, but doing so should take into account their age, understanding and readiness level.
Starting at age 12 may be a reasonable age, as this is when they begin to understand basic financial concepts and become familiar with technology. Teaching using simple and engaging videos, games or interactive tools can help keep their interest.
However, along with this educational process they should also ensure the joy of childhood and other basic life experiences. Knowledge of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies can help them make future financial and technological decisions, but it's important not to make it overly complicated or stressful.

That is where most of us get it wrong because we are thinking of teaching them everything at once but that is not truth. As of that age, you can teach him what is Bitcoin only and what is wallet and the child will know it and when has grown up to another stage then you introduce more things and that is how it all started. You don't have to teach the child everything at once before you know that you are teaching Bitcoin no. I am a teacher and I know how to do all those things. You can even download some of the Bitcoin cartoons for your kids. Oh yes there is no benefit but you are preparing the child for his or her future. Since the child can go to school to learn then he can also learn bitcoin alongside. It is a good preparation.

Providing education to children is tailored to their needs, if we want to provide knowledge about crypto, we should see the needs of the child. If they are teenagers, maybe we can teach them crypto because crypto is very volatile and investing there is very risky. So we as parents should be able to know when our children are qualified to know crypto.

I'm a little bit cultural person, TBH in my view as i've said before on this topic Childhood is something that is lost these days due to technology like smartphones, I've seen kids under 10 and those kids know about AI and other software development more than me even I'm a recently graduated student of CS, Haha it makes me feel incompetent but I can for sure say that now as I'm entering the age of Man's from teens or maybe I've already entered, these kids lost their childhood, there a beautiful time for them to enjoy without the worries of the meal and other responsibilities there's decent for them to learn about such things, and I'm saying this Kids or teens below 15.
I know the importance of Childhood time, this is not the time to conquer the world, it's the time to enjoy in this ruthless society. So Bitcoin is good and educating kids about it will open a door for them to understand more about financial markets and the economy, it's way better than these shity CS graduation outdated courses. Still that's not the right time to feed them this information. I can say more on it but i think that's also enough.

Here I want to say that teaching them about bitcoin or educated them about bitcoin doesn't means that you need to give them bitcoin access for making transactions.
You can teach them in 12 years old I will also say that it will be better that teach them about bitcoin when they have gain the ability to learn the light ecomic or identifying the money. And here I found nothing wrong. You can give them direct uses permission when they become mature to use that understand the money or asset management.
-

Of course. When we are teaching children about Bitcoin, we only introduce general thing about Bitcoin. We only can share them the general theory about Bitcoin, we don't teach them to trade or invest in Bitcoin immediately. :D

12 years old is Junior high school student, right?
It is no problem if you teach 12 years old children. They can understand about money, they may try to understand Bitcoin. But it should be for general information about Bitcoin. We don't need to teach them how to invest or trade in Bitcoin.

So, when they are at the age of 12 or above, they are already in 6th or 7th grade, which is the perfect time to start learning something new. I don't understand why do they think kids won't be able to get the idea of Bitcoin at 12 years old while the same kids learn HTML codes in their 6th grade ICT subject.
I believe it depends and varies from country to country. Kids at 16 years old can already code a website, and they say that children 12 years old is too young to learn about Bitcoin. Well, probably they are talking about their part.

I think 12 years old is the right age to know and learn about bitcoin and crypto. Children should understand this, because they will need crypto in the future. because everything will probably be crypto in the future, as many people here say.

That should be depends on when the child started it early education and also the cognitive and the comprehension level of the child. I put 8-10 because of the educational process of the child in my country and countries educational system differs. And now that pre-primary schools has started which are: kindergarten and pre-nursery and nursery schools to educate children as early as 2 years. Before the child reached 4 years has has started reading alphabets and letters with combined words. So the 8-10 years interval is vet good to learn advance subjects. And as I said, it depends on the country education policy.

What could be the first step is to let them first be interested in this crypto, after they are interested it will be easier for us to provide education, of course we must still adjust their age and also their ability to win what we mean.
As time goes by and if they have a very strong interest, then they will find out for themselves especially if they are already teenagers, all we can do is supervise them.

I feel it's too early to add Bitcoin into school curriculum, let it build some more history and it's time will come naturally.
Anyhow, it's age of Internet, so they should discover about it sooner or later on their own.

Actually, we don't need to bother educating children to know crypto because they can learn it via the internet. If discussing the curriculum in school, maybe it can be done at the middle level, not for children. Maybe those who have entered high school.

There is no big deal here to teach our children about cryptocurrency. Some people look at if cryptocurrency is too complex for children to learn at the tender age. If children can learn Mathematics, Civic Education, Quantitative Reasoning, etc. They can learn bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency. You are not teaching them the deepest party of the subject but the periphery. What is Bitcoin? Functions of Bitcoin, uses of Bitcoin and what as follow. You are not teaching them the practical yet but only the theory. Let them to know the basics knowledge of Bitcoin first. And the age should be determined by the parents and the the cognitive level of the child.

Exactly, let your children enjoyed its youth, no need to pressure them just because you know something like Bitcoin. Just don't forget to share basic things to them, once they start asking and get interested in then try to explain the very basic of crypto depends on his/er question/s.

Yes, children education is the solid foundation of tomorrow leadership, and with early leaning of a new technology like the cryptocurrency, it will greatly increase the children's knowledge when they grow older. I think that teaching children cryptocurrency may not necessarily require age limit, it is even better to educate the children at that infant ages as long as they can express themselves.
Cryptocurrency is completely a computer based knowledge and if the children can learn computer at the early stage of their live, there shouldn't be age limit on children's cryptocurrency education.
-
Actually, we don't need to bother educating children to know crypto because they can learn it via the internet. If discussing the curriculum in school, maybe it can be done at the middle level, not for children. Maybe those who have entered high school.
Yes children can only learn basic things of education in school while Bitcoin investment will be included in finance which is not easy for children to learn well at an early stage but if they are regularly experiencing the things related to Bitcoin then they can learn well and can become profitable investors in future.
Nothing is hard but it is also not possible for children to learn only about cryptocurrency because education of school is also very important which cannot be neglected so I think we should give value to both of them. One thing to remember is that if children get the knowledge about Bitcoin investment that it can give them money then maybe they leave their education just for making money which is not a good thing.
-
I think 12 years old is the right age to know and learn about bitcoin and crypto. Children should understand this, because they will need crypto in the future. because everything will probably be crypto in the future, as many people here say.
Hmm, I dont mind such comments where people say Every thing in the near future will be crypto, and on what basis 12 is a good age to learn about the financial markets and all the stress handling in the crypto market. Please no offense from my side I'm just curious how are you thinking sir that 12 is a decent age to learn about such things? No doubt early education can help a person to unleash the full potential what is gonna change, at the end of the life. I think 12 is the age to make memories with those pure friends you have in your childhood.

Yes, that is the whole point. However, some people oppose the idea of letting kids know about Bitcoin. I think 12 years is good enough to start learning about Bitcoin, as children learn a lot more subjects at the same time. As I said in my previous post, if a child can learn HTML, Binary, and other things from his ICT book while he is only in 6th or 7th grade at the age of 12, what is limiting him to knowing about Bitcoin?
People are making it look impossible, which it is not. You are not teaching him how to code Bitcoin or how 51% of attacks work. So, there is nothing wrong with teaching them the basic idea of Bitcoin, which will help them later.

What could be the first step is to let them first be interested in this crypto, after they are interested it will be easier for us to provide education, of course we must still adjust their age and also their ability to win what we mean.
As time goes by and if they have a very strong interest, then they will find out for themselves especially if they are already teenagers, all we can do is supervise them.
If we do not give our children basic knowledge about crypto, they will not be interested. Maybe in their teens they will start to be interested in crypto, if I introduce crypto to them early on so that when they start to be teenagers they have the desire and interest to know more about crypto.
It depends on how old the child is so that we can teach them about crypto, again this requires adjustments based on their age. It's not just giving them lessons about crypto that can make them interested, but there are many things that can be done.
For example, now there are many types of games that can produce crypto, if they like playing games, then we can recommend it to them. Or we play in front of them, usually children are always interested in what adults do.

I've read a lot of threads about whether children should be exposed to things like Bitcoin and at what age, and opinions are divided on this, probably because people in different cultures raise their children differently. Although I personally advocated the position that children should be allowed to enjoy their childhood as long as possible, somehow it seems to me that at some point they should be introduced to the fact that Bitcoin exists and how it works.
My opinion is that children should be at least 12+ years old to present such things to them, and of course the simplest presentation would be through a video like the one you can see in this topic. What is your opinion on this topic and do you think that children should be educated about Bitcoin?
just watched it pretty nice video.
Yeah kids should get some exposure to it. nice post I gave you a karma.

Yes now a days Cryptocurrency being popular. Huge people involving in cryptocurrency market. I think future economic world will control cryptocurrency. Even huge people taking main earning source / main profession. So we should encourage our children to crypto.
I think it will be very helpful for our children for his practical life. So I think from now our children to be a educated about Crypto. So they get proper knowledge about Crypto. I think in our education system can add crypto lesson. It will be helpful for our children, they will educated about crypto.

12 years old is Junior high school student, right?
It is no problem if you teach 12 years old children. They can understand about money, they may try to understand Bitcoin. But it should be for general information about Bitcoin. We don't need to teach them how to invest or trade in Bitcoin.
Yeap that is reason I have said that teaching or educated them about the bitcoin it doesn't mean that they need to have access or they need to have investment.
There is lots of things to understood even the investment on the bitcoin, And those can also took time to learning.
And I think if they are familiar with those things in their early age then it is must be confirm they will take the right decision what we take in about old age about investment on bitcoin or the others things. Even we can teach them the basics of investment and the trade in bitcoin but using with the demo accounts on trading.

Right, not everyone wants to know what Bitcoin is. But when there is someone who really appreciates new knowledge that can potentially improve their economic condition, then we are very lucky and happy to see the knowledge we provide successfully achieved.
Basically, we all must have enough experience and knowledge to be able to make the right decision. If we do not have knowledge about trading, it will make it difficult for us to decide what is good and what is bad. Investing is actually very easy. Only people who cannot control their patience will sometimes feel that investing in cryptocurrency, especially Bitcoin, is not profitable.

There's different between teaching children knowledge of bitcoin and investment, although they will have the general knowledge but won't investment rather they would know the importance of their investment, how to manage the risk involved in bitcoin investment or trading. This including the overall knowledge how to secure and manage and guide their investment.

I also mean the same thing. But adding the investment option also because it is also important to know like we know bitcoin is always best for long-term. And I don't find anything wrong if we teach them also the how to invest or when to invest or when not to be invest.
Like we can teach them about the cycle of bitcoin like what is halving , how it's working and how market take bull run for it. And again I want to mention that I am saying that teaching them not to make investment.

If only giving knowledge to my child, I don't think it hurts, so they know about the crypto market, bitcoin character and the 4 -year -old Bitcoin cycle and technology techniques using the crypto project project. Teaching does not mean that it requires them to learn investment or trading, but giving knowledge at least they understand the world of crypto.
-
Maybe as parents, we have different views on how we can educate our children on Bitcoin. I am honestly at an age where, if he can understand, I will start familiarizing my son with Bitcoin.
I will educate him here in a way that does not interfere with his being a child. Is he the type that he himself will enjoy studying here without realizing that it will greatly benefit him in the near future?

Okay that's good though..
Children can be very smart to learn don't be surprised if they knows all these things it could be very much easier for them to go about cryptocurrency, and one thing about them is that they don't mind try to have some fractions of bitcoin after gaining the knowledge required because most children talks about investment and if they knows that investment in bitcoin could give them something meaningful in future, they don't mind putting their into bitcoin especially those money money given to them to buy ice cream, popcorn, chocolate and whatever into it.

After reading your post I realized how right you are to encourage children to gift coins. It is important to get children interested in Bitcoin, as it teaches them about technical knowledge, financial literacy, and digital security. Besides, it helps to enhance innovative thinking and ability to adapt to the future economic system. I think it is very important to educate children about this.

It's a good idea to give coins as gifts to our children, maybe the coins we give will be expensive in the future when they need funds for their needs. I haven't thought about this, I think there's nothing wrong with our children starting to learn and know about crypto because this is a technological advancement that will be popular when they are teenagers.

Yeap that is reason I have said that teaching or educated them about the bitcoin it doesn't mean that they need to have access or they need to have investment.
True. For children, we shouldn't let them to invest immediately. Just share general information about Bitcoin or crypto. If they are mature enough, we can gradually teach them about how to invest or trade.
There is lots of things to understood even the investment on the bitcoin, And those can also took time to learning.
Investing in Bitcoin has the risk, too. Of course it requires to understand everything first, someone can't invest in Bitcoin if he doesn't understand it well. He needs to focus on learning only if he still doesn't understand it.
Even we can teach them the basics of investment and the trade in bitcoin but using with the demo accounts on trading.
Using demo account is good, but it is for the basic thing only. If they are ready to invest or trade, they need to try the real one. But the point is to use small funds.

I am saying this because in the case of our child we thought that bitcoin use only the bad peoples and that is also the reason I didn't start mining in my PC in the beginning even after buying the GPU. And that GPU mining was huge profit in against of current situation.
All these happens and loose the good opportunity in the child I mean the time between 15 years to 18 years is not having the good idea about the bitcoin. And is the also a reason and we shouldn't make the same situation to our future generations.

Actually, bad people don't only use bitcoin or crypto, we also see a lot of fraud in fiat. about providing education or knowledge about crypto to children is a good suggestion, and I have also done it even though I don't advise them to invest, I only provide knowledge about crypto.

Todays student are future of our country. So i think With his institutional study the cab be Gather knowledge About Bitcoin. Now my age 34 and i Knew about Bitcoin since 2014 and now Bitcoin 2024 now bitcoin price near about $61k. I was know about Bitcoin when my age was near about 23-24 year. So if any student want to Educated on cryptocurrency i think it will be good.if students were expert on cryptocurrency form his study.

Yes that is it, people are also using fiat for for ill activity just as most people uses Bitcoin for ill activity, but we can't categorically say that children will use bitcoin for evil activity or to hack or steal from someone but it is always advisable for them to get the knowledge from little and when they grow up they becomes more and more rooted into them than leaving them to wait till they grows up by then they might miss some important aspect of Bitcoin.
Nowadays due to the technology and the world revolving heavily bitcoin knowledge seems to be very important to people around and anyone who doesn't understand the language of Bitcoin since to have been lacking all this while.

Children should have started to know and understand about bitcoin and crypto, because if we wait for them to grow up it will be too late because others have already gone first. So as parents, we should provide education about crypto to our children.

Right, teaching the children about bitcoin will make them understand well how to earn money trough cryptocurrency investment when growing up. Children have easily for memorizing anything and teach them about bitcoin seems easily for understood than when they have grow up, for parents have much money its not bad giving them capital for children make investment by their own self in bitcoin than spending much money for purchasing games feature.
Indirectly, when teaching our children about bitcoin they will have communicate with the other around the world and easily will learn or communicate using English language.

No matter how we try to push this crypto learning for kids, the end depends on if the government is going to approve it or not. If the government doesn't approve it, there is no going to be any development regarding thag aspect. Even after the approval, the government will have to review the things that are going to be thought, if they don't like it, it will take a lot of time to approve.
I'm of the support for crypto learning, the world need to let crypto expand in every areas of life but it might not go as we want because some places wouldn't approved the use of Bitcoin talk more of the knowledge.

After reading your post I realized how right you are to encourage children to gift coins.
Giving coins as a gift for children won't bring something significant to the interest of the children. Since they don't really know the coins, they won't understand that our purpose to encourage them. If the purpose is to make them be interested, I think it won't work well for children. This way may be effective if they are already mature enough (Junior or Senior high school).
It is important to get children interested in Bitcoin, as it teaches them about technical knowledge, financial literacy, and digital security. Besides, it helps to enhance innovative thinking and ability to adapt to the future economic system.
Are you sure to teach your children about this? :-\
Learning about technical analysis, financial, and digital aspect isn't for children. I really doubt that the children can understand the subject. The children still have no ability to understand such specific matter, it is the subjects for advanced learner.

You were an adult, not a kid when you knew about Bitcoin. Somewhere who is at the age of 23-24 can make life-changing decisions by themselves and stand by them than needing their parent's approval on what they want to do or become in life.
Someone who's even above 15 years of age will have a better understanding of Bitcoin when introduced to them than someone who's below 15, who's under their parent's care for the decisions they make.
Educating our children about Bitcoin should be done on the level of the child's knowledge and intelligence. If we find our child to be the intelligent and smart type of being, we can educate them on Bitcoin, by helping them have their first investment in Bitcoin, to hand it over to them when they pass the adolescent age

Age 15 is the right age to get to know crypto. After they gain an understanding of crypto, we give them the freedom to invest and learn trading, because at that age they can understand the risks and hone their skills in conducting research and running trading in crypto.

I believe you have vast knowledge about bitcoin and to the entire cryptocurrency right? Okay, where you thought by government or did you wait for any approval from government to have this knowledge? No! So even though government didn't give approval there is still need for the kids to know the basics towards bitcoin and to the general knowledge about cryptocurrency with this even though government approval or no approval non of those kids would lag behind and they would have all knowledge concerning the space.

I agree with you sir, let the children learn like other children so that they know the basics of general knowledge and they will know for themselves about current developments such as technology, namely digital currency.. no need to rush to introduce crypto to children, just let them learn like other children so that they learn general knowledge so that they are smarter and not easily fooled, after they are ready to get to know crypto, introduce them and surely they will quickly understand how to play crypto. if we introduce them during their learning period, it will be difficult for them to respond to the crypto world because it is not yet time for them to understand this.

How? Teaching them is what are saying here mate.. If they don't have the knowledge how would they know when they grows up? The thing is they should understand cryptocurrency and be prepared for it in future maybe when they have come of age they could decides when to investment or not, maybe with knowledge some of them could go into self development by having that feelings to develop their coin just as the way lot of coin has been created today by lot of people out there.

agree with you mate. By providing basic knowledge about crypto we can prepare our children for the future, because it seems like crypto will be more popular and dominate in the future. If we don't provide knowledge from now on, they will be left behind when they are adults.

Or, as an adult they will forget all that imposed knowledge and focus on things that they are interested in. Not always a child follows parents footsteps. Not always a child becomes someone that parents wished him to be. A lot of parents see their kids as CEOs, successful investors, top managers, doctors, lawyers, but we have lots of kids who study and experience different professions.
For example the same goes with electric vehicles, green energy everywhere, solar power, recycling and etc. We could teach kids that this is our future and they should aim to succeed in those areas. Instead nobody talks about that, teach about that.

Agree. Age 15 already have the ability something like crypto. But we don't need to introduce too specific thing about crypto. Although they are already 15, we only need to introduce general things about crypto. They are still not in the age that someone can understand trading skills, market analysis, investment approach, or etc.
agree with you mate. By providing basic knowledge about crypto we can prepare our children for the future, because it seems like crypto will be more popular and dominate in the future. If we don't provide knowledge from now on, they will be left behind when they are adults.
Share good knowledge to children is the right way. But we must adjust the knowledge to be shared with them. Although knowledge is good but not every knowledge to share for 15 years old.

Here it depends on how old these children are, if I give an example on my child, he himself began to ask me about cryptocurrency already at the age of 11, and at the age of 12 he was already helping me do some things on the Internet, now he is already 14 and we talk with him almost every day about the movement of the market and about trading with investments.
What is all this for? and the fact that if your child himself shows interest, then he needs to be helped and directed to study at least by watching videos on YouTube, but if he does not have the desire, then I think it is better not to interfere with him.

Continuing the story with your kid (if you allow) - how did he find out about cryptocurrency? I am curious what has pushed him to began asking questions? Is it because you were into crypto all the time, or he has heard, saw, read something about? Because if a family is experienced in crypto, and are not just "we have bought and wait", then educating about Bitcoin will be useful. But if a family adult members members look on crypto like on a miracle, then what could their children learn about it? Today, still not many are familiar with crypto. Some have only heard about it and think that it is sort of a virtual money. If adults are not good at crypto (in case a child asks for explanation or a help), then it is no use educating.

Here it depends on how old these children are, if I give an example on my child, he himself began to ask me about cryptocurrency already at the age of 11, and at the age of 12 he was already helping me do some things on the Internet, now he is already 14 and we talk with him almost every day about the movement of the market and about trading with investments.
What is all this for? and the fact that if your child himself shows interest, then he needs to be helped and directed to study at least by watching videos on YouTube, but if he does not have the desire, then I think it is better not to interfere with him.

Personally, in my experience of educating my child, it most likely happened by itself, since to the question “how do you, dad, make money on the Internet?” I always answered with one word (on cryptocurrency), also when my child was very small, he saw a mining farm in my office and asking why they were buzzing here, he heard in response (to earn cryptocurrency). Since childhood, he constantly heard about cryptocurrency and heard a lot of conversations on the phone when I discuss cryptocurrency with friends. In my case, not only my child knows about cryptocurrency, but also his friends, but I will note that knowing and earning are different things, and the first money that I gave him for trading, he naturally lost to zero))

Great story. My child only knows that I use laptop for work. Even when I spend time posting on the forum, I tell him that I am working. The kid is still young and dont know much about money. The only thing my kid knows about earning is "Dad, can I wash dishes, help mum, and read X pages of book, and in exchange can you buy me either in-game location or cash (saves for a mobile)?". Even if I use words crypto and bitcoin, it is still nothing for her. The only family member that pays attention to crypto is (it will sound funny) my mother-in-law. And even then she asks "how are your bitcoin?" or "rich already" ? :)

Your mother-in-law is very kind and respectful of your life, that's very good especially she asked how bitcoin is, because my mother-in-law doesn't understand about crypto, because she is an old generation.
While my children are also still young so I don't tell them much about crypto, because I think it's not time for them to know bitcoin and crypto. Yerah.. as you said they only know that their father is working when opening the laptop.

Nice! As I've been saying, kids will hear about crypto even at an earlier age and there's nothing parents could really do about it. It's either they can learn it from you or from someone else. I don't exactly agree with letting him experience trading but it's better that the lesson is coming from you. Overall, I think your child is off to a good start.

But you will never know if this "hearing about bitcoin" will be enough to raise interest to crypto. I am trying to educate my kid that money does not grow on tries and to purchase something expensive, I have to dedicate a lot of free time to work. However, I still hear a lot of "I want" and hopefully this is just an expression to get something, not a demand. Also, I have noticed how my kid is good at learning math and how easy it was to learn to read. But I cant force my kid to start loving reading or improving math skills to make future learning at school easier. Moreover, isnt kids nowadays to much busy at school and doing homework, that they should spend their free time on learning crypto instead of having a rest?

By providing basic knowledge about crypto we can prepare our children for the future, because it seems like crypto will be more popular and dominate in the future. If we don't provide knowledge from now on, they will be left behind when they are adults.
No one knows how popular crypto in the future. However, I agree it is needed to introduce our children about crypto. Our children need to know the potential of crypto. But we don't force them to know it very early, just wait for the right time to introduce them. I support the idea of some members to introduce them when they are already in Junior high school. When they are the student of Junior high school, they are probably ready to know the basic things about crypto.
My child only knows that I use laptop for work. Even when I spend time posting on the forum, I tell him that I am working. The kid is still young and dont know much about money.
My children also don't know anything about crypto now. It is the same as you, children only knows that we are working with laptop. I still have no intention to tell them anything about crypto now. They are too early to know it. Even if I expect they will utilize crypto in the future, telling them should be at the right time.

I also think just telling kids about bitcoin might not be enough to make them interested in crypto. It is good that you are teaching your kid that money does not grow on trees and that they need to work hard to buy things. But it is also important to let them find their own interests and hobbies. Making them learn about crypto or other things can be bad and make them tired.
Kids already have a lot of schoolwork and homework so they need time to rest. Except this forcing them to learn about crypto maybe just encourage them to be curious and ask questions if they want to learn more. This way they can learn because they want to not because they have to. By the way I didn't get married yet so I have no kids and you are doing well if you are caring about them.

I might be against it too)) but I can’t do anything and there’s only one possible outcome, just help him do it and even if he can’t do it (and believe me, it will be like that)) then give him direction and help him correctly understand what’s true and what’s just a marketing ploy.

Yes that is it, people are also using fiat for for ill activity just as most people uses Bitcoin for ill activity, but we can't categorically say that children will use bitcoin for evil activity or to hack or steal from someone but it is always advisable for them to get the knowledge from little and when they grow up they becomes more and more rooted into them than leaving them to wait till they grows up by then they might miss some important aspect of Bitcoin.
Nowadays due to the technology and the world revolving heavily bitcoin knowledge seems to be very important to people around and anyone who doesn't understand the language of Bitcoin since to have been lacking all this while.
I don't understand why our society, especially those against Bitcoin(anti Bitcoin) focuses more on the negative uses of Bitcoin than on those of fiat currency. They make it seem as if fiat currency is transparent and never used for illegal activities. One thing we need to understand is that every valuable item (like precious metals, money, etc) can be used for illegal activities. So, I don't understand why our society has chosen to single out just one. Maybe they are too scared of its positive aspects as well.
Regarding whether children should have a basic knowledge of Bitcoin, I totally support it. You see, I have read Andreas' book (The Internet of Money), a couple of times. He mentioned how we are all born into a system where we have no choice but to accept the fiat currency of the country we live in. So, if a currency that offers better transparency exist in our time, I think our children should have a basic knowledge of it, just as we had no choice in accepting the fiat currency of our countries.

I think everyone here supports the idea to learn children about crypto/Bitcoin knowledge. We are in the digital era, crypto/Bitcoin is one of the best digital investments in this era. Children must understand a digital currency like Bitcoin, it is a profitable thing if they know to use it in the right way. It is our responsibility to let them know about it. However, we must understand when the best time to introduce it to children. I think it is not a proper thing for elementary students, it should be for junior high school at least. This is something that we must be aware.

If we want to teach knowledge about bitcoin and crypto to our children, at least they are over 10 years old because if they are still too young, they do not understand the risks of investing in crypto, because the crypto market is very volatile. This is very risky if their age is not enough to understand the risks.

Crypto in general, and with the current generations, social media and all that stuff, it is all over and even if we didn't teach them crypto, they will learn it by themselves.
I heard several young kids talks about crypto here in my country, unfortunately, it is not Bitcoin, it's some altcoin that they have seen in Tiktok and that so called influencer that it will make them rich. So totally misleading and so I have to correct those kids before their mind is polluted with this Tiktok and other social apps.

This is very risky if their age is not enough to understand the risks.
And this is where we actually need to pay much detailed attention to what a child learn. Should we introduce Bitcoin to a child as p2p technology, or as an investment?. Ideally, the first thing a child should know is that Bitcoin can serve the same purpose as fiat money (i.e, a child should understand that Bitcoin can be spent on goods and services).
I am not ignoring the investment and profitability aspects of Bitcoin, but if a child is introduced to Bitcoin primarily as an investment, there could be complications down the line, such as a loss of interest. A child needs to learn about things that are more relevant to their everyday life, such as buying groceries from a store.
IMO, it is very important that we take a cautious approach in teaching, because what they learn matters a lot.

I am also agree with you. Because we know that cryptocurrency market is the best profitable stage in the crypto currency world. So i think that children is also need to know in the crypto currency market. Because we want our children must be know and careful in digital era. But i think that when our children would learn about crypto currency market, than there student life must be cross in primary level. Then it wil best preferred for them.

very well said a kid doesn’t have much comprehension and attention span compared to us adults so it’s important for them to relate to bitcoin first why would a kid care about investment yet? unless you have managed to make your kid understand how important saving is, they would most likely just not be interested with what bitcoin can do
IMO, it is very important that we take a cautious approach in teaching, because what they learn matters a lot.
how you teach bitcoin to kids would set their perspective on it if they somehow don’t enjoy your way if teaching they might bring that with them until they are older and their idea of bitcoin might not change even in the future

Everything is very individual, I know a lot of people who, when they were students, were still underdeveloped children, for the most part, cryptocurrency can only be learned by those who are really interested in it, and if a person is not interested in it (whether he is a child, a student or a completely adult person), there is no point in telling them, they will not understand anything anyway and will perceive it as something not serious.

You know because the more that society expresses negative things about Bitcoin, they help Bitcoin to be recognized around the world, actually. That's all they can say and for sure they have no evidence to show.
That's why I will not hesitate to educate my son in Bitcoin or crypto because this is what God uses to support my family. and I will really teach him here everything I know.

It's a personal likeness and want and if you decided to teach your children or son about bitcoin who would stop you, automatically there is no one to do that because it's your baby and not even the grandpa would do that, Bitcoin is here to stay the better we teach our children the knowledge the better for us because when time will come they may suffer a lot of things so it is better we give and dash out the knowledge freely to them than when we are Longer there anymore.

Now a days Bitcoin is most important part of world economy. Bitcoin is now globally well-known. And it’s usability increasing day by day. In future would economy will dominate Bitcoin i strongly believe it. So i think children should be educated about Bitcoin. Today's children will be economic controller So i think children must be learn about Bitcoin. Otherwise they will fall behind the Digital economy.
Even i saw the poll about it and i saw most of the people voted for children should be educated about Bitcoin. I think if they were educated about bitcoin and blockchain then children will be most valuable asset for any countries.

There you go. This is what I've been saying and this is really happening but some people seems stuck with their idealism (out of touch with reality).
If they can stop kids of 10 or 12 years old from accessing social media or the internet, it's probably fine to wait until then before teaching them about bitcoin/crypto. The problem is that most parents couldn't do that.

Now that 2-year-olds are already looking at the internet and there are no restrictions whatsoever. It becomes very sad when it happens without the attention of some parents.
Minors still don't have full control, as you said about 10-12 year olds are still not good enough.
But some education that is adjusted to their age can also be good education. Just getting to know crypto and not to think about how complicated crypto is, just get to know it and it will be a good memory for children at their age.

I want to point out one point, I wrote about it above (that if the child himself does not want it, you should not tell him about cryptocurrency), but on the contrary, you should say that it is better not to get involved and not to invest simply because he heard an advertisement from his favorite blogger.

Bitcoin is technically interesting, and that can be important for kids who are very interested in technology. But cryptocurrencies involve trading. And that's why I question whether kids should be taught about cryptocurrencies. Because in a certain form, trading is dangerous.

Trading is an option, and only for those who are of legal age and also have money. Children of 12+ do not meet these conditions, so they cannot be at risk from such things. In addition, this is not about motivating children to invest or trade with Bitcoin, but about whether they should acquire some basic knowledge that could help them one day in their lives.

We can probably provide basic knowledge about crypto as an investment, not as a trader, because the risk is high if we provide trading knowledge to children because they cannot manage their emotions, this will have a bad effect because it will cause losses. I also teach my children about crypto but forbid them to start trading.

Actually, giving knowledge about crypto to children is a good thing, because we should not let our children miss the opportunity to learn because crypto will likely be more dominant in the future, its popularity will also be high when our children are adults. and it is adjusted to the age of our children, if they are considered worthy to try trading, we should give them capital to learn trading.

~snip~
I don't think that the emphasis is on the fact that children will "miss the opportunity", but on the fact that they could adopt a lot of wrong (malicious) ideas that they will certainly be exposed to through various types of media.
A very large part of people are convinced that Bitcoin is only a "tool" for money laundering, computer fraud and tax evasion, and that "mining" causes great damage to our planet and consumes enormous amounts of electricity. All this can be disputed with a very clear use of facts, but only if this information is given in time.
After all, children never have to be involved in cryptocurrencies in any way, but it is important that they know the truth - and the truth is not always what we hear in the media.
-
I also think that "miss the opportunity" are not the best words to use here. What kind of opportunity they really miss, if they cant fully use all benefits of crypto. Same as educating kids how to drive car and say they miss opportunity, when they can get license only at 18 years. Nevertheless, no matter if kids know or dont know about Bitcoin, they are still kids and in money related moments they are not interested as adults are. What, if they know about Bitcoin they would start investing or trading? Or will use option of anonymous payments? Sure not. Instead they would play toys and gadgets.

Actually, education about crypto is given to our children after understanding the risks of investing in crypto, I agree if they are 18 years old because if they are too young they cannot manage their emotions when there is a correction and the price is volatile. we can use the age according to the SIM permit of 18 years of our child's age.

It is no problem to educate children about crypto or Bitcoin but they must be mature enough. Yes, 18 years old will understand crypto or Bitcoin very well. 18 years old is the student of university, they will easily understand the risks or manage the emotion. In this age, they also can start to trader or invest in Bitcoin or altcoins.
SIM? Is it driving license?
When someone has a driving license, he/she must be 18 years old at least. So, it can be a proof that someone is mature enough, right?
-
The danger of children being taught Bitcoin is that the concept of cryptocurrency always goes hand in hand with the concept of trading. And this is a very dangerous phenomenon for children, as dangerous as gambling for their immature minds.
-
Misunderstanding concept of cryptocurrencies is really dangerous. Some can start education with «crypto is being used to buy drugs anonymously», and children vision on crypto will be spoiled forever with that first impression. Also if a person starts introducing crypto with sharing his failures in trading and investment, that can also turn into bad later.
-
In my opinion, it is good for children to be given formal education first. Because in the world of crypto, not only interest is needed but also knowledge and mature analysis. Because it will be more dangerous if children participate in the world of crypto and don't have the knowledge.
they not focusing on formal learning which should come first.

In my opinion, it is good for children to be given formal education first. Because in the world of crypto, not only interest is needed but also knowledge and mature analysis. Because it will be more dangerous if children participate in the world of crypto and don't have the knowledge.

Formal education is most important for all children but make bitcoin and cryptocurrency as side of their subject to learn prepare their future as benefit from bitcoin or altcoin. The age of children have good memorize and best moment for them learn more not only about formal education but teach them the opportunity to earn profitable in the future is another important thing.
I have children but still too young, in few years later will teach him about bitcoin or altcoin how to make my children realize the benefit side from cryptocurrency make as investment assets or looking opportunity to earn by free.

If you already have children and reach the age of 12 years old, we should be able to teach them about bitcoin and crypto currency, even if it is only basic knowledge about crypto and the technology in it, at least our children will not be left behind in information. To teach trading, it is better to do it after the child is 15 years old, how they have learned to manage emotions and learn risk management when trading.

Absolutely right. And the effectiveness of this approach is proven as easily as anything else. Let's look at ourselves - none of us received any special IT or economic education at first. We are all ordinary guys from ordinary schools. It was only our thirst for knowledge and desire to learn new things that led us to Bitcoin and blockchain. So why not arrange the same path for our children?

We are not from IT only to be hungry for information about how profitable investments or participating in Bounty and Airdrop, that was the beginning I did when I got to know the world of crypto. Maybe we can start by giving information to our children about crypto, projects and technology so that they understand. Because in the future Crypto will be more popular, if we do not compare the initial knowledge to our children, it is feared they will miss this technology.

We also must educate our children how to use technology with proper critical thinking and to understand the concept of technology in general, not just concerning one field. The times are evolving, and so must the people living in it. They can be good at nothing in particular right from the start, but strong logical thinking, creativity, and the ability to solve problems will serve them well. So, may be it would be wiser to develop interest levels and guide them on how to find it out on their own if they encounter any problem; they will be ready to solve it.

I agree with you, a child should learn about bitcoin, about financial education from a young age, about accounting business, but they should know those things, they should be trained with those concepts, concepts that at least I did not have the opportunity and that I would have liked to learn as a child, I do agree that they should be taught, anything that is for learning is welcome, especially for children who are sponges, the busier they are the better, but in productive things that will serve them when they are already adults.

A child who already understands the risks in my opinion is worthy of getting an education about crypto, we can teach them about investing in crypto but don't teach them about trading first because the risks are quite large I agree with this opinion. When they grow up crypto is very much needed in the digital age.

In what age the child can understand the risks? If you expect the elementary school students to understand the risks, it is something impossible. I'm very sure they should be in junior high school at least, to understand the risks. I even believe, the proper time to educate them when they are in senior high school. They need to be mature enough to understand the risks because the risks in crypto isn't something very simple to understand. We can't expect to educate them as early as possible!!

Agreed, it is great to teach kids about crypto but those who know the dangers of it is another thing, the first thing is to teach them about long-term investment. Buying has more dangers and is much more suitable for the purchaser, requires making certain distinctive recognition of the issue on the market. That way, they will be able to handle the basics of investing in crypto when they are ready to go into the digital world where we can be assured that digital assets will be a big part of the economy. It also assists them in becoming financially smarter from their initial stages of their financial lifecycle.

Kids should be taught about Bitcoin I agree with this because if they don't know about Bitcoin they will be far behind the advanced technology. But how do you go about teaching a kid about long-term investing in Bitcoin? A child never thinks about his financial situation and predicts future financial situation. They want to enjoy their life only at that time through various pleasures. So I think a kid should be introduced to Bitcoin but no minor should be pressured into financial matters. If they understand about Bitcoin then automatically they will think of long term investment. So they should be given a good understanding of the basic concept of Bitcoin without teaching them about investment

Just like I have said before, it is important for this current generation to learn about Bitcoin seeing that it is part of the evolution of technology, but introducing the financial side of it is never ideal. What did Satoshi titled the Bitcoin white paper? A peer to peer electronic cash system. Children especially from age 3 and above are already familiar with fiat and what it is used for, so introducing Bitcoin to them as another form of money is something they can easily grab. It will even make more sense when you explain to them "why Bitcoin (electronic cash) is better than the fiat they see everyday".
There are easy ways to relate things to a child that won't cause confusion or give them a reason to decline. Every child that is born into this world accepts the use of fiat without even contemplating about it, so I don't think Bitcoin should be an exception.

Alot of people that we have today that start crypto doesn't do proper research about scams in crypto. Now assuming crypto is been thought and some of the dangers involved, growing up it will be a stigma on their head and when they grow up and someone share a scam crypto investment with them, they can use their basic knowledge of what they have learn.
There is no knowledge that is a waste, if you don't need it for investment, you can need to share another person. Imagine been among public where one person is lying for others about crypto, you can use your knowledge to fact check them and even give the right knowledge to the public.

Having this type of understanding of bitcoin at a very young age that will be a very good thing for everyone. I know that iits going to be a very tough thing for kids to learn because they can't focus that easily and that type of thing is very hard for them but we can definitely see this growing better with time for sure. I think with more age we are going to see this getting easier for kids too when they grow older and knowing it in the end that will work for them and do better at later ages as well.

I think it’s best that they learn about it if they are interested in it. Asking them if they are willing to understand what is the best way to have money and how you could save that would accrue a lot of money in terms of interest (with the price of the market). What makes it even more important to have the knowledge of having limited supply as well.
Exactly that's the key Idea here "INTEREST" That particular video I so much love it because it not only explains how bitcoin works, rather it also explains the criteria money has to meet as well as the concept of how inflation gradually became a world problem. It's important to give kids basic general knowledge and definitely economics is a part of it too. It's then nice to assist them dive deeper to areas they understand and show much interest in.
Some kids love the concept of Economics others may love crypto and tech stuff some may like science and discovery and the earlier you work with their interests the faster they tend to learn.

Bitcoin knowledge is free and anyone is deserving of it including children. In as much as is not a knowledge that corrupts, children are entitled to have it. The question should be to what extent and of what purpose should bitcoin be taught children.
- To what extent: Should be to let them know that bitcoin is a digital and decentralized currency while pointing out major advantages of bitcoin.
- To what purpose: Teaching them to be knowledgeable about bitcoin and not to invest in it.

Well I have always said something, a child is capable of doing anything when it comes to knowledge, and while I agree that they should not operate in trading, I do agree that they should be educated with knowledge about the market, about bitcoin, about everything that has to do with this, for me it is essential that the more knowledge a child has the better, in fact I wish that all of us from a young age at least handled 3 languages and knew about the market, knowledge about business and companies, it is a thousand times better than a child only dedicating himself to playing.

Tradition and culture difference, and then personal differences.
If children should be exposed to bitcoin? Well on personal difference bases (that's parenting) I think it is not a bad idea to do that.
Nationality bases, children are educated about money in schools directly or indirectly at lower level, even at home..in my country they are taught home economics,(I think business studies also) at nursery/primary
Talking to children about how money works has never been a bad thing. They get the informations as children nothing more and it should be given to them as children.
Concerning bitcoin or digital money the same thing wouldn't be a problem. Give it to them as children and they likewise get it as children.
This might help them alot in that wise. Not to forget, not all adults knows it to talk of teaching their kids... As for schools, it can be designed level by level to the point that they might be able to get reasonable amounts of basic knowledge of bitcoin. From knowing what it is in the first place (e.g digital money) to knowing some little concept and then to the main thing by 18+. The build up will make sense and wouldn't stress them even..

Children under the age of 17 will certainly never be suitable to become a trader, their emotions and thoughts are not fully mature... everything has its stages, my friend.. to be able to become an expert in the world of cryptocurrency does not have to go through trading, because actually a career in the world of cryptocurrency is very broad and has high opportunities.
If I had biological children, I would be more concerned about the stages of learning the world of finance including cryptocurrency for my children later... but it is also adjusted to their age. I can't rush to teach something that is beyond the child's ability, it will only add to his stress burden.

agreed it is better to provide children with knowledge about crypto according to their age, we provide basic crypto knowledge then they can start actively participating in bounties on the forum if they already have knowledge, because they can also get a lot of knowledge by being active on the forum. but if trading, our children should be adults because they must be able to control emotions.

I have children, but I don't think I will introduce them to Bitcoin or any crypto before they are 14. It will depend on their brain and some other conditions. I have to see how quickly they can learn. If I see that their brain is good enough to learn new things, I won't mind introducing them to crypto a little earlier.
Giving them a basic idea of crypto and letting them start trade isn't the same thing. People should be involved in such things as trading and investing when they can make money and afford to lose money as well. The children do not make money at a young age, and there is no reason to start trading where they could lose money.
-
I also think that "miss the opportunity" are not the best words to use here. What kind of opportunity they really miss, if they cant fully use all benefits of crypto. Same as educating kids how to drive car and say they miss opportunity, when they can get license only at 18 years. Nevertheless, no matter if kids know or dont know about Bitcoin, they are still kids and in money related moments they are not interested as adults are. What, if they know about Bitcoin they would start investing or trading? Or will use option of anonymous payments? Sure not. Instead they would play toys and gadgets.
Actually, education about crypto is given to our children after understanding the risks of investing in crypto, I agree if they are 18 years old because if they are too young they cannot manage their emotions when there is a correction and the price is volatile. we can use the age according to the SIM permit of 18 years of our child's age.
I agree. When the children's education is adequate and they are good at managing their emotions, then we will introduce them to the world of crypto. So that they can make the right decisions and not only prioritize profits without seeing or considering the losses they will incur.

I do not complain about my academic training, but I really have liked receiving financial education since I was a child and not some lectures that currently do not serve me at all, that is why every time I look at the best way to educate a child, it is this, so that they have an open mind to business, to accounting, so that when they are adults they will not have problems, but rather, on the contrary, they will generate work and can be profitable, sometimes a business school is the best way to invest for our children, alternating with the usual basic education.

We don't force our kids to know crypto or to do crypto jobs. If they are not in a proper age to know it, just wait for few years until they are mature enough. Moreover if we want to order them to do bounty jobs. I think it is actually an activity that can be done by mature people only. If we only want to educate them with general knowledge about crypto, it is no problem to do it when they are around 15 years old. But to let them know about trading, forum, investment or the like, it should be 17 years old at least. At this age, they can try to control their emotion.

General terms about Bitcoin can be introduce to any age people. It actually a basic education. This does not mean that it is professional learning. Like children do not know how to Trade Forex USD/Pound however they know the currency from early ages as their parents discuss. At early age children learn faster than we are now. Obviously, I believe that children should pass fun learning time instead of becoming future machine. Why we need to teach about Bitcoin? I believe that AI and Bitcoin will merge one day which would another challenging days will come! It will impact in our society, culture, works and almost everything.

Children should be given the basic knowledge of Bitcoin and Crypto so that they understand about crypto currency and technology in it. We explain the benefits and risks but we must not teach them to do risky trading if their age does not meet. Because there is a risk if you can't manage emotions.

It is no problem to educate children with basic knowledge about crypto. But it should be in the right time, dude. Jus don't force them to get the knowledge very early. It may be not good for their mentality, they can focus on crypto only without the interest on other objectives. They also probably don't have good emotion control when they are too young to know it. How if they want to invest or trade immediately? They must be mature enough to participate in crypto investment or trading. So, please consider the right age to educate them about crypto or Bitcoin.

I think providing them with information too early initializes their mind on something they cannot comprehend fully, and that produces an unbalanced mindset. Young people should be versatile and familiar with many aspects of life before they invest time and emotions in trading or investing. If they are not emotionally and intellectually prepared, there are possibilities that they get trapped with the trend of different markets and this is always tragic. That is why it is wiser to teach them common rules of personal finance and discipline to become responsible for their actions, thus, before they are introduced into the world of cryptocurrencies.

I do agree, but it's up to debate whether it should be learned in institutions or not. However, with the current state of the crypto space, many people, especially younger ones, go into some projects and try to learn everything for themselves, sometimes leading to losses. So being taught the principles would be beneficial for them.

I agree with you, minors can't be roped in to explain something as complex as crypto currency. It is okay to teach them the general knowledge of crypto relations without putting pressure on them and without going against their will. However, it is important for them to be adults when it comes to trading. Because trading is a financial risky enterprise. If a minor comes into trading, he will not be able to control his emotions which may affect him negatively.
So without putting pressure on a minor give them only basic understanding of cryptocurrency investing and trading, and teach them about risk management, and after they become adults can start teaching them about trading.

We also have different perspectives about such a situation. As long as I see that my son is able to understand, I will introduce him to bitcoin or cryptocurrency. Knowing if it is not easily adopted by children.
But I have a way to make them familiar with the digitalization that we are part of here in the crypto world, as if it is no different from money; just knowing how to use it in a basic way is a good start. That's what I will do as a parent of my child.

I also agree if we provide education to our children to understand about crypto so that they don't miss with their friends, because in the future Crypto will dominate as a digital currency. And we as parents also have to provide risk advice from Cryto trade if we don't have much knowledge and experience so that children also understand about it.

I feel like teaching children about something good but can’t force them to learn about cryptocurrency is also considerable for the fact that crypto is something that should be done based on choice and not must. I feel like even if they are our children, we should not force them to do it if they are old enough to know what is good and bad for them. They will definitely learn the cryptocurrency on their own. Although it is no doubt good if they know it at their early age, to me I can only introduce them to it and show them how it works; then, if my child is interested, I will teach him or her, but I can’t say they must do it.

Yes, it’s good to give information or introduce a concept such as cryptocurrency, but the act of aggravating clients so that they have to learn these and do things they do not want to do is wrong. Allowing them to self teach themselves, mostly if they were at an age that they can distinguish the right condition of their environment, food or toys, gives the child the natural platform and freedom to follow whatever catches their fancy at their own pace. Exposing them to crypto and letting your kids try something different on their own can be beneficial for their learning Simply telling the children that you are going to explain what crypto is and how it works will encourage their desire to learn. This way they understand you respect their decisions, but you also make sure that they are prepared to take responsibilities of their decisions.

Children should be given the basic knowledge of Bitcoin and Crypto so that they understand about crypto currency and technology in it. We explain the benefits and risks but we must not teach them to do risky trading if their age does not meet. Because there is a risk if you can't manage emotions.
Crypto is more like the future of banking system and one way to prove that is almost literally anything now online can be. Paid with a couple of popular crypto currencies out there including bitcoin. Now teaching kids about crypto is a nice idea as it's more like preparing them for the future ahead. It's nice for kids to be taught basic things about crypto as well as simple market economics and volatility. The idea is to give them a foundation knowledge and not to force them into something they may not like.
Kids that tend to develop more interest in crypto can then be given further tutoring on how the crypto space works however basic knowledge should be a general thing. Infact some school already given basic knowledge about crypto to kids.

We don't force our kids to know crypto or to do crypto jobs. If they are not in a proper age to know it, just wait for few years until they are mature enough. Moreover if we want to order them to do bounty jobs. I think it is actually an activity that can be done by mature people only. If we only want to educate them with general knowledge about crypto, it is no problem to do it when they are around 15 years old. But to let them know about trading, forum, investment or the like, it should be 17 years old at least. At this age, they can try to control their emotion.
I feel like teaching children about something good but can’t force them to learn about cryptocurrency is also considerable for the fact that crypto is something that should be done based on choice and not must. I feel like even if they are our children, we should not force them to do it if they are old enough to know what is good and bad for them. They will definitely learn the cryptocurrency on their own. Although it is no doubt good if they know it at their early age, to me I can only introduce them to it and show them how it works; then, if my child is interested, I will teach him or her, but I can’t say they must do it.

Yes children are love to play with Troy and some children accessories with their own desire. so we should not force to our child to educate about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency. but we can introduce them with Bitcoin after that if that interest to piqued about Bitcoin then we can go ahead and teaching you about Bitcoin blockchain and cryptocurrency. but if we force them to learn about Bitcoin then they can break the normal Street. but they are already more than 16 years old then we can force them to learn about Bitcoin because Bitcoin is very potential for future

The right age I agree with you if our children are 16 years old we can educate them about crypto and start teaching them to trade with small capital, for example $ 10. Because by training them early on will grow good intuition in the future with expertise and knowledge about crypto trading.

There are times when we can introduce bitcoin more intensely, and if it is at the age of children who still enjoy the world of play, forcing is not the best way, we may be able to introduce it, but it is done slowly and gradually, without coercion or anything like that.
If we force them when they are not ready, then what might happen is that they will not be interested because it is considered to interfere with their playtime. A good approach must be taken.

Agreed, we can introduce them first about crypto currency. So when they start to know, understand the risks and uses of crypto they will think about the future, if they are interested we can give them a little capital to start practicing trading. Because we have to be gradual in introducing and teaching children about crypto.

Yes, 16 years old is appropriate age for learning about crypto or Bitcoin. In this age, someone is already a senior high school student. But we must understand that we don't need to force them to learn a lot of things about Bitcoin or crypto. Just gradually educate them, they may need to understand it slowly. Agree, training them early can make them to have good intuition. But we must consider many things in educating them.

I've read a lot of threads about whether children should be exposed to things like Bitcoin and at what age, and opinions are divided on this, probably because people in different cultures raise their children differently. Although I personally advocated the position that children should be allowed to enjoy their childhood as long as possible, somehow it seems to me that at some point they should be introduced to the fact that Bitcoin exists and how it works.
My opinion is that children should be at least 12+ years old to present such things to them, and of course the simplest presentation would be through a video like the one you can see in this topic. What is your opinion on this topic and do you think that children should be educated about Bitcoin?
I think children should be taught about Bitcoin but after 16 to 18 years. Because educating kids about Bitcoin at a young age can do a lot of harm to their education. Childhood is the first chapter of children's education. If children can be educated about Bitcoin at this time, children will develop an addiction to Bitcoin. When they develop an addiction to Bitcoin in their mind, they will follow various means to acquire Bitcoin. Some may participate in gambling or some may follow other avenues to earn, thereby harming children's education. I've been noticing a lot of young kids working on Telegram Tap Tap campaigns lately in my area. I can see the way they are starting to work and their education is suffering a lot. I guess from here that if Bitcoin can educate children at a young age, the children must be suffering from education. If children can be educated about Bitcoin after the age of 18 then it will be perfect because then the children will understand their pros and cons. So I'm against bitcoin education for kids, I support 16 to 18 year olds.

A 16 years old is no longer a child, but a teenager, there is a clear difference between being a child and a teenager, and what the subject of this thread says is if it's OK to educate children about bitcoin, children are from 3 to 12 years old, at this age, I would say it's not OK, bitcoin education requires a brain that is well developed, at the age of 3 to 12, children should be allowed to focus on their studies, thats the most important thing at that time.
Then from 13 years of age, the child has been a teenager, and now can start Learn other things that is outside his or her education in school.
So, as from the age of 13 up, I believe it's ok to start bringing up bitcoin into our conversation with them, this is to arouse their curiosity, then we can start teaching them at the age of (let's say) 14 and 15, then as from the age of 16, we can make provisions for them to start learning on their own, and also assist them in making their first trade and so on.

- Maybe I'm about 10 years old; I'll start familiarizing him with bitcoin or altcoins; I'll just explain the basics of bitcoin usage to him. But I will not explain anything to him about trading or indicators. But I can start to explain to him the meaning of bitcoin in a simple way.
I will show him how bitcoin or cryptocurrency helps in our lives, and I will make sure that before my son graduates from high school he knows a lot about the bitcoin or crypto industry, especially in the world of trading.

For a 10 years old, basic interaction won't do the work alone. The child might need more of a real life practical scenerio. Or something that they often enjoy watching (cartoon). I think I have got a very good solution. I can't really find the link to downloading a complete series, but I want you to search for Tuttletwins on YouTube, or use their channel link below..
https://youtube.com/@tuttletwins?si=8sZTT3W9vKGjovlx
It's actually a cartoon that teaches so much about crypto in general. I really doubt if it's met for kids alone, because I enjoyed it as well, and I believe you will.
So what you should probably do is to check out their channel first, then find ways to get the complete series. It should probably be available on few streaming platforms, but I'm not sure, since the government won't like it due to the too many revealing things that it contains.

In explaining to children who are not old enough, we only provide basic knowledge about bitcoin and crypto in general. We do not need to teach about trading, indicators, making analysis etc. because this is very risky for children who do not understand the risks and how to control emotions.

In giving an explanation to abak about crypto is not easy and must be adjusted to their age, because there is a fairly high risk that will be borne if forced to do trading, especially the age of children still need time to play and explore their lives. They should only know the knowledge of crypto, technology from crypto currency but because they have not managed the risk, we should not teach them investment and trading.

Exactly, When teaching children about cryptocurrency it is still necessary to bring down the conversation to their level. It should educate them on the technical elements and basics about crypto like the blockchain without getting them to participate in heavily risky processes like trading. At that age, they should be allowed to play and study not to cater for the financial losses which results from making of investments. Far more dangerous is when they misunderstand crypto and end up gambling and lose attention to do their schoolwork.

- As I mentioned, I will explain to my son in a simple way that I know if he can understand, and that is just the usages until possible. I will not tell him what is written in its meaning on Google; that is what I will say. Of course, that is not what I will explain to him.
I will use a different term to explain to my son, because if he is familiar with where it is used and how it is used, my son will understand it easily for sure.

Children should be educated with basic knowledge. There is no way that we teach them with advanced level of crypto knowledge. Trading, investment, technical analysis, or the like aren't for children. It is for the people who are mature enough, it should be 18+/20+ only. Children won't understand it, it just wastes time to learn them about those knowledge. Yea, we must adjust the level of knowledge to the age of children.
-
I agree that it is better not to teach children bitcoin.
Firstly, let them get a normal education first - this is the basis for the future. Secondly, cryptocurrencies are not toys, but risky investments. Children may not understand how to manage money properly. It is better to teach them financial literacy and responsibility.
-
It is obvious that across the world we see different people with different cultures, values and norms.
Exposing children to Bitcoin doesn't seem wrong to me, rather its a means of giving them wider knowledge on what's going on in this digital world and probably a way of raising funds too.
Most times, it takes the interest of the children to either show concern or to look down on it because probably not all who are educated about it would seem to have interest in it as we see that not all that know about Bitcoin tend to show interest of trading, investing or any other form in it.
In all it is a welcome development, sounds awesome bringing this knowledge to the Children...

Introducing bitcoin to children must see their age whether they are appropriate to know about digital technology or not, because at least we have to consider their age because if it is too early it is also not good, because it interferes with their playtime. Maybe the age of 15 is appropriate to be given basic knowledge about crypto, because they can already distinguish the risks and benefits of investing in crypto, although we still have to monitor them and have not given them the freedom to trade.

Exactly, the idea of explaining Bitcoin to children must be properly timed as not to hinder playtime but give the children the right impression. The optimal age for the basics of crypto, according to the interviewees, is approximately 15 years, when they are already capable of distinguishing the consequences of risks and benefits of investing. However, such learning requires supervision from us, so that they may learn appropriately and in an appropriate manner.

Firstly, let them get a normal education first - this is the basis for the future. Secondly, cryptocurrencies are not toys, but risky investments. Children may not understand how to manage money properly. It is better to teach them financial literacy and responsibility.
Of course, it is better not to educate young children about Bitcoin. It is important not to teach children anything complicated in the early stages because this is the age of growth of children. If children are taught about Bitcoin and trading at a young age, they will never be well-educated because Bitcoin trading will keep them away from education and create a reluctance to study. I will never get my kids interested in Bitcoin until they reach the appropriate age and move into college life. I will educate them about bitcoin in college life because college life is the age for them to make their own personal decisions. I'm here to support people who won't support bitcoin education at a young age.
I can tell from children in my area and around my home how much crypto currency can create an aversion to children's education. Currently Telegram tap tap campaign is more viral and young kids are most attracted. They walk around with their mobile phones all day and pass the time by watching reel videos with TikTok Instagram or Facebook. The way they spend the whole day fiddling with their mobiles shows that they have completely abandoned their studies. This is where I realize how harmful cryptocurrencies can be to young children. So, if you want to raise your children as human beings, keep them away from mobile phones at a young age and avoid using mobile phones in front of them.

I agree with your right age to provide knowledge about crypto to children at the age of 15 because they can distinguish risks even though they cannot really have emotions when investing.
And we must supervise them, because even how investing in Crypto is very risky.

15 age may be the minimum age for them. But it can be older 15 age if they seem not ready to learn Bitcoin. Each kid may have a different time to learn a specific thing like Bitcoin. Sometimes, we don't need to hurry to learn them something like Bitcoin because it may bring bad impacts for them.
And we must supervise them, because even how investing in Crypto is very risky.
Of course, we must monitor them. Crypto investment is quite difficult to understand, too.

Although I personally advocated the position that children should be allowed to enjoy their childhood as long as possible, somehow it seems to me that at some point they should be introduced to the fact that Bitcoin exists and how it works.

The age of 12+ would be a good starting point, in my opinion, because Bitcoin is about investment. and I don't want to decide for my kids whether or not to invest. Any parents who are knowledgeable about Bitcoin know that it's worth investing in, and they will also love to see their kids participating because of how valuable it is. I believe that when they are between the ages of 12 to 17, they will be more focused on learning it because they will have nothing to worry about, also it won't be too complicated for them and they can be closely watched at that age. However, in my view starting at the age of 17+, they may lose interest in learning it and begin thinking about other things in life.

Every parent has their own considerations about whether their child is ready to get information about crypto or not? Some say the age of 15 is the most appropriate and some believe that their child at the age of 12 can already have basic knowledge about bitcoin and crypto technology, but if you decide to trade, it seems that the age of 17 is the right one.

I agree with you. To educate children about crypto the process of introducing them to real money should be carried out from an early age. This will help them become knowledgeable about their real assets and crypto assets and their interest will grow over time. Any business decisions related to crypto should be made based on the children's opinions and it should be determined by the age of 17 or above.

Yep. Each parents may have different assumption about the proper age for introducing their kids about crypto. I myself, will introduce crypto/Bitcoin to my kids when they have passed Junior high school at least. However, I will analyze their intelligence firstly, also their mentality as well. For me, it is not all about the age but it is also about their insight and mentality. If they are likely not ready to know crypto/Bitcoin, we don't need to force them.
By the way, learning trading to the kids isn't the right way. I assume trading isn't for kids. Someone needs to be mature enough to understand trading very well. They also must have established mentality. They don't start trading if they still can't handle their emotion and greed.

I agree with you. To educate children about crypto the process of introducing them to real money should be carried out from an early age. This will help them become knowledgeable about their real assets and crypto assets and their interest will grow over time. Any business decisions related to crypto should be made based on the children's opinions and it should be determined by the age of 17 or above.
Age 17 seems to be enough for children to learn to control emotions when investing in crypto, because the crypto market is very volatile and cannot be predicted accurately.
In providing knowledge about crypto, it can be given to children after they understand about FIAT money as a comparison of FIAT money, we introduce digital currency.

What could be more difficult than explaining the concept of crypto at such age? It is simple to give in to one’s feelings and invest based solely on passion after watching the market fluctations of an asset’s price. Though they may be so smart, they require someone who will watch them and advise them lest they just exploit the opportunities for the sake of the gains to be made. We need to make sure children realize that any investment comes with great risk, especially in crypto, which takes time and patience and can be mentally tiring due to fluctuations that may compel investors into taking reckless decisions.
On this basis, we can familiarise children with Fiat digital currencies which will help them learn what currency is and its value before immersing them into the world of cryptocurrencies. This comparison is necessary so that they understand they need to see that crypto, while engaging, is different from everyday currency as it has its own risks. The program is thus useful in helping to give children a wider picture of the two, which in the long run fprints out responsible behavior when it comes to management of finances.

I've read a lot of threads about whether children should be exposed to things like Bitcoin and at what age, and opinions are divided on this, probably because people in different cultures raise their children differently. Although I personally advocated the position that children should be allowed to enjoy their childhood as long as possible, somehow it seems to me that at some point they should be introduced to the fact that Bitcoin exists and how it works.
My opinion is that children should be at least 12+ years old to present such things to them, and of course the simplest presentation would be through a video like the one you can see in this topic. What is your opinion on this topic and do you think that children should be educated about Bitcoin?
Very young children should not be educated about Bitcoin but as you said 12 years old then children can be educated in Bitcoin education here again I would say 12 years old children should be 16 to 18 years old to learn about Bitcoin. When a child is 16 to 18 years old, it will be much easier for him to learn about Bitcoin. Bitcoin is not easy to learn it's a very risky system so it's best not to teach young children about this risky system. Especially from the age of 5 to 12 years, children should pay attention to education. During this time, if children can pay attention to education and study well, then they can become human beings in the future, and if they are addicted to money during this period The rest of their life is almost done. So I mean a child should be 16 to 18 years of age to educate in bitcoin education because at this time children will not have any problem in education and mental even if they take risk.

Indeed, Bitcoin has big potential not only as an investment instrument, but it also has potential to become additional income in the future. Thus, with a good understanding, our young generation can see more than long-term investment here, they can see the way for them to become professional experts in this kind of field, ready to take advantage of short term gains. We need to make bitcoin familiar to us and teach our children everything about it to prepare them for the future.
If given the right education, the young people can see the vindication of the risks and opportunities inherent in the new world, before they proceed to equip themselves for this world that is rapidly going digital. In teaching the next generation to embrace bitcoin means preparing them for a different world, one that may have less job opportunities than today’s world. Understandably, they are capable of integrating bitcoin and blockchain technology into their income streams, not only as regular but passive too.

A good idea to teach kids about bitcoin and crypto to earn passive income from the crypto world because bitcoin will likely have a bright future and not just as an investment tool and payment method in the future. Bitcoin will open up opportunities to earn income from trading that can help the government reduce unemployment.

In trading, the principle is as you keep practicing and learning, you are bound to learn how things are done as passing through different stages does take time. In my view it means that with the help of experience we get to know the dynamics of the market the better the better is the chance for getting the maximum results. With every step we make in trading, we are operating in new knowledge that is beneficial and could potentially improve our revenues.
I also fully concur that recognizing the need for time, focus, and money to invest to turn into that professional trader is a great investment. With this dedication, we can obtain the skills for reaching objectives related to trading and feel more comfortable when deciding on essential profit making strategies.

Agree, in teaching children about bitcoin and crypto we must tell them about the advantages, disadvantages and benefits for us. Bitcoin is widely adopted by bear companies. This must also be explained to our children. In addition, we must tell them the risks of investing in crypto, the dangers of hackers, etc.

Whether children should be educated about Bitcoin depends on a number of factors, including their age, understanding of technology and economics, and the context in which the education takes place. Teaching children about Bitcoin can be a way to introduce them to digital currency and blockchain technology, which could play an important role in the future economy. This can help them develop a broader understanding of digital finance, security, and decentralized systems. Younger children may not be ready to grasp complex concepts like blockchain, decentralization, or cryptocurrency. However, with age, it can be introduced gradually, starting with basic concepts about digital money or the Internet. Teaching children about Bitcoin can be beneficial, but it should be done in a way that fits their developmental stage and includes a balanced understanding of both its potential and risks.
