I was wondering what time is right to introduce my son in particular into crypto, is it ok at 10,12,15 or perhaps at adulthood 18yrs.I was advised to first get them acquainted with digital currencies and blockchain, their meanings and value in a relatable way they can assimilate and grasp. I was told to begin spurring their interest with simple tools, so I searched and came across kits like blockchain and cashflow for kids, crypto kitties and monopoly and some digital games as a good start. The aim is to use these to educate them about digital currencies, things associated with them before letting them into investing properly.
Is it worth the try? you may have a better idea.
what do you advice?

It is definitely worth a try if you are really interested in teaching your kids that. I hope that they understand why it is important, and being able to guide them through it would be good for them.
Maybe ask yourself first why you are doing it in the first place. Is it because you want them to learn a new type of financial instrument or another way to earn money?
-
I don't think we can determine an ideal age, not all children are the same in the sense that they mature at the same age. I think children should be approached individually without forcing them to do anything, or rather, we should examine whether they have an interest in these kinds of things.
It would be ideal to ask children if they have heard of cryptocurrencies, if they know anything about them, and then occasionally give them information that can help them research things online for themselves. If they are interested and have additional questions, you will be the first to know, and that is the best sign that they are ready to learn more.
Cryptocurrencies (especially BTC) should be presented to children as an alternative to the existing financial system, not as a get-rich-quick scheme - unless you want to turn them into crypto gamblers.
-
You can buy them Bitcoin from birth and keep it in cold storage to pay for college (or start a small business).
As for owning Bitcoin, it's best for them to be around the age of 22. Then, they'll have had some experience with money, and once they understand the value of money and the importance of investing, you can introduce them to bitcoin.

I think its would be good to start with history. Eveybody loves stories.History always makes a kid curious about how did it ever come to what is it now.
I would love to tell the story about currencies to my kid if they are just curious but kids today aren't that curious to history anymore. They are onto tiktok and youtube.
But as young as possible I think its good to start making them interested into crypto by introducing them to a crypto games since games are their world for now.

If they don’t know why governments print money… they’re not ready. If they can’t explain what makes something scarce, they’re not ready. If they think investing is just “buy low sell high,” they’re definitely not ready. Crypto’s not candy so don’t toss it in as a digital toy
You’re not just introducing them to digital coins - you’re introducing them to a worldview. A distrust in centralization. A belief in open systems. A rejection of passive consumer roles. That’s heavy stuff for a 10-year-old. So go slow, but go deep
What I’d do? Start from history. Ancient barter to fiat to Bitcoin. Make it a story. Tie economics to decisions. Let them question systems. Let them ask why their video game coins can’t buy bread, but Dogecoin can buy a Tesla (sort of). Bring contradiction. Bring real tension. Let their minds wrestle
Crypto is about readiness and timing. Cognitive readiness. Emotional readiness. Ethical readiness. So yeah, show them the tools. Show them the games. But when they start asking the scary questions, you’ll know they’re ready
-
Start from when they are young but make sure you simplify it and not that you will teach them about cryptocurrencies at once but just continue to teach them according to their age. Let them know more as they grow more.
But let them know that altcoins are gambling and full of scam ICO, NFTs, meme coins and so on.

...

Exactly, I agree
And to tell the truth, the sooner we teach our children not only crypto, but financial education, the better
I really wish I'd been taught financial education when I was younger, it would have made a lot of things easier
In addition, it can help your children to find something they like in the future, cryptos are very related to IT, programming, systems, etc

I was wondering what time is right to introduce my son in particular into crypto, is it ok at 10,12,15 or perhaps at adulthood 18yrs.I was advised to first get them acquainted with digital currencies and blockchain, their meanings and value in a relatable way they can assimilate and grasp. I was told to begin spurring their interest with simple tools, so I searched and came across kits like blockchain and cashflow for kids, crypto kitties and monopoly and some digital games as a good start. The aim is to use these to educate them about digital currencies, things associated with them before letting them into investing properly.
Is it worth the try? you may have a better idea.
what do you advice?
How quickly a child can learn about crypto depends on their creativity. You can teach your child about Bitcoin even at the age of 10 if they show interest in it. However, you should not force them to learn anything before they reach adulthood. If your child has little technical knowledge and does not show interest in learning it, then you should not force them. However, since Bitcoin is a very big and promising digital currency of the future, everyone should know about it. Accordingly, if your child does not show interest in learning about Bitcoin until the age of 16, then they can be forced to learn about it from then on. Because those who do not know about Bitcoin will lag behind in the future.

I think this is something that we need to know before we let them deal with crypto or use crypto. Here, I would prioritize their ability to understand money management rather than their age. And in this case I think 16 to 18 wold be an Ideal age it is also vary on their ability to understand money management.
I'm certainly not saying to let them use huge amounts of funds at a young age, I'm saying to give them pocket money in crypto just like we give them pocket money in fiat currency everyday life. And from there they will gradually learn about the uses of crypto.

It is very okay to teach your children this digital form of financial institution, because it is what will be in use in the future, and the digital world would really adapt to the utilization of Bitcoin and other crypto currencies. So, I see this as a means of giving them a head-start.
The age doesn't matter at all if I'll speak on that, cause these days, the demand and pursuit for money is now the order of the day, whereby children are looking for every fast means to make money. So, teaching your children at an early age, will keep them on track, while using the internet safely, and not wanting to participate in any internet fraudulent acts.

Depends on you. What I can say for sure is kids Excel most in things they like doing and for younger children as long as they find it fun no matter how difficult it is they'll still find it easier than what they are forced to do. So with respect to this I think the best you can do is to actually introduce it to them.
If they find interest in it fine... If they don't it's fine too. However given the dynamics of this current generation I doubt that he would find zero interest in it.
-
Do you give them an allowance?
Do you let them earn small money for chores?
If the answer to both above is yes then they are ready to learn crypto.

the fees is high for crypto to be used as allowance but if its going to use adopted. but might be good to use for small pay to them and then they will gradually learn even just making transactions in crypto wallets.
the only downside with kids having money like this is they might also learn to gamble when their friends do gamble. or worse buy drugs with it.
-
Letting your kids know about crypto will be based on how inquisitive they are about it and what level they are. You don't talk about crypto to your kids when you haven't heard them talk about it or ask you about it. It should be when you have heard them talking about it, you can quietly break it down to them on how crypto investment works. What they should know about it.
I can't move into telling my younger siblings about crypto when I know she hasn't come across the word "crypto" before. Even if she has, hasn't asked about it
-
Each child may have several different things, including their environment, education, and so on.
So, maybe each child has their own ideal time.
It's just that I personally want to do it when I see my children are ready enough for the existing conditions. Whether it's at their age when they are in junior high school or senior high school. That might be around 15 years old, but only for some things that are still basic and seeing the conditions whether it is too forcing them or not, and seeing how they respond when I introduce this to them, to be able to continue or postpone it first.
-
The worst age to introduce a child into cryptocurrency is 10 years and 12 years, I have a reason why I think so because we no how child of that age must time thinks, you could be showing them something and they would learn another way, so don't teach a child of such age about Bitcoin but instead do it for them at the moment so that they would have a concentration on what they are doing, I would also advise not to even mention it to them that you are keeping a Bitcoin investment for them because if you do you might be creating a distraction to them.
-
OP, in education, there are some basics of learning when it comes to children's education, and as such, it would be nice if those basics were implored to teach your kids about crypto. At their age, the way or measures at which you want to teach them should be at their level of understanding so they could easily assimilate such information very fast. It does not necessarily mean that you must do it all yourself, but there are some YouTube videos dedicated to teaching kids more about cryptocurrency and how it works. You could Google it or, better still, use this Youtube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ekzsZZGfsk) for a start.
-
I think the sooner, the better, it's good to educate children financially, my daughters already have a good understanding, my oldest one no longer wants her allowance in cash, she wants it in bitcoin. ;D

Any age will do as long as they show interest in what you are teaching them. You don't want to load your children with teachings that they think are not interesting to them.
Do an introduction first if they show interest; then do the basic; the most important thing is how they catch up based on their phasing. Children are children; they have their own priority at their age.

You can enlighten him about cryptocurrency for now and get a wallet for him but help him manage it. Teach him all he needs to know, the use, what it is and how to secure his funds. I think there are some kids videos online now to help educate them of cryptocurrency. But then, since he's still very little, I'll advice that you let him focus on his studies and when he's off age, you can give him full access and control over his wallet.

I do understand that you want to expose your child to new things as early as possible but using it in something as volatile as crypto is not a smart move. It is for this reason that advising them now can be of great benefit in the future especially if you want to maintain full control over the process. It is reasonable to take step by step introducing basic concepts and at the same time keep dictatorially in charge of things just to make sure that everything is in order. He or she then gradually progress from easier and amusing activities and games while you observe and monitor him or her closely. Subsequently when they come of age to assume responsibilities on the assets that you have set aside they will be in a better position to with an understanding that increases with time.

In my opinion, at the age of 9-12 we don't need to tell about digital currencies, let them have fun with their friends or have fun with their world in the age of other children so that the child is satisfied with his childhood. If we teach or tell about digital currencies so that he has a great understanding of all this and later in the future we hope he becomes a professional person in the field of crypto. But sorry for friends, at the age of 9-12 have thought of things that are very heavy and even afraid that children find it difficult to understand so he will be stressed.
-
I think what OP is doing is commendable and should be look at by parents who are into cryptocurrency industry and has the desire to get their children also involved. To answer the question on the right age, I think there is no definite answer on that because we can start with small things and gradually introduce concepts when they are ready to assimilate them. Yes, kits and games can help paving the way to kindle their interest and of course if we can spare a gift of crypto that they can use when they turn 18 or legal age then that would be so nice.
-
Actually, the benchmark for someone being ready to receive material about Bitcoin depends on how quickly the person is able to understand finance... yes, it really depends on human resources... and every child has different abilities... even when I know a child is more talented in sports, I think it's better to tell him about Bitcoin when he is an adult... I prefer to support the child's talent rather than forcing the will which actually makes the child's talent not optimal...
Maybe at the age of 18 is the right time for them to start learning about finance, and at the age of 20 maybe start giving knowledge about Bitcoin openly...

I think that you could be express a best opinion in your best comment. So i am also agree with your prefer comment. I also believe that a children when enter crypto currency world, it must be depend on there creativity. Because if we interesting our children in quickly to introduce crypto world, it will be very harmful for them. So i believe that when our children will adulthood and prefer to understand in cryptocurrency market, then it will be best prefer time to enter crypto currency world.

these days a kid at 10 years old is already well acquainted with the internet and would probably have learned about money since they would already be in school they have been taught that and they would also be making use of it already

i think that we should incorporate basic concepts to our kids like saving and being generally responsible with their money and they should learn to buy only what they need and not splurge on everything they see
teach about the internet slowly and the money and how it is used to transact with others in exchange of goods or services then later on incorporate them this process can and should take years
-
Technology is developing very rapidly, if we do not introduce this technology to our children as soon as possible, of course they will be left behind. At school they have been introduced to general lessons, it's time for us to introduce them to Cryptocurreny at home. In my opinion, when children are 15 years old they should be familiar with this technology, but some children may have different intelligence. So maybe at an easier age they can understand and learn this crypto well.
-
In my opinion, if you want to introduce them to Bitcoin, it would be better to do it when they are 22 years old. Because by then, although they are getting closer to adulthood, their money and their knowledge will have increased a lot. So if you introduce them to Bitcoin, they will be able to grasp it very quickly. And once they understand the value of their money and the importance of investing, then introduce them to Bitcoin.

There is not an ideal age to introduce my children to cryptocurrencyz once they are able to read and write I will simply begin to introduce them little by little in to the realm of cryptocurrency, they can begin by knowing how to spell and write cryptocurrency terms, so as they grow and mature, I will begin to take them to the practical aspect which involves analyzing trade.
There is a popular saying which goes like this, catch them when they are young, introducing them at a very tender age s a form of investment in your child that they will later on appreciate you for. You don't have to wait until they become old with grey hairs and moustaches
-
introducing your son to crypto at a younger age like 10 or 12, isn't too early. The aim should not to rush into investing but rather to first grasp the ideas. Teaching him about what money is, how digital currencies operate, what blockchain implies, and even the notion of decentralization can be quite eye opening particularly when related to games or technologies that make it all seem like play.

I think it's too early for such concepts, especially more tech-y ones.
Only glimpses of knowledge may be shared at that point. The child needs to take it as a game for it to be interesting ;)

Looking back at myself I started in crypto at about 16, back then I had hilarious thoughts like selling parent's real estate to invest in cloud mining, which thankfully I did not pursue. So 16 may be okay age for your kid, but just keep an eye on him, and make sure they don't do anything stupid and teach them to not do anything stupid.

16 years old is indeed enough to be able to distinguish between profit and loss and the risks that he will bear, only the possibility of managing emotions is still unstable. because in investing crypto you need to control your emotions. This requires experience in order to stay calm when the market experiences a correction and not be too greedy.

That's the best way to groom your kids. For me I'll start getting them trading tools books etc when they're 12years old ahaha. Before they're 20, They'd have gone through the stages and be pros..
-
It sounds good educating the little children about crypto, exposing them to the Decentralized world since they have a much more smart brain to understand things at such age range.
To me, it is really good to teach them about crypto and what it involves, it'll even be a plus if it is added to their academic lectures in schools. It would really be of good to them. Helping them get the knowledge before they grow to the age of making investments by themselves.
This would help them not to understand everything in crypto through their own personal experience.

Maybe the government is not currently focused on including crypto lessons in their curriculum, but I am sure the government will think about it. because crypto with a decentralized system is a technological advancement. and its citizens should learn it.
However, we can also teach it to our children, so as not to be left behind by other countries whose children already understand and study crypto.

Anything from age 10 is ok for our children to start learning about cryptocurrency, this is just to enable them get the awareness of something called a digital currency existing and it is called crypto, know what bitcoin is and have the understanding of why it was created, i could remember on seeing a thread from the other forum about coding for kids, which children can also have a smart foundational background on what is expected of them later in life to do or know.

I haven't seen any programs that teach students about the money in their bank accounts, but they can still quickly access it when used daily. It's a shame that many kids can't manage their finances wisely; they often overspend and get into debt.
I hope that a financial management subject will soon be added to the general education curriculum starting from 6th class, and crypto will also be introduced to them so they understand the forms of assets: cash, bank deposits, securities, crypto, precious metals, real estate... Regarding blockchain technology, perhaps they will be taught it in the university program if they pursue an IT major.
-
Depends on what interests your kid or if he or she is a fast learner then I think it's a go but if not you need to wait for a while until he or she is ready. But I like your idea of teaching them at a young age so that they won't be swallowed by the social media system. What you are trying to do is really a future proof investment for your kids as we all know crypto is not part in curriculum in some parts of the world.
-
I think you can identify what is the right age of kids to learn cryptocurrency. Every child has different capacity. By noticing the behavior of your kids you can tell it if ideal. As long as you're not forcing them it's okay since trading is not easy, forcing can only make things worse. There's a huge potential in trading, if I have a kids I will teach them.

Your idea or better say the one you were told about to employ is the best idea you can come up with now to carry your kids along in the crypto space. I won’t wait until my child gets to the age of 18 before letting them know about digital currencies. If they were to get a school that teaches about that from their preliminary class, I would not hesitate to get them into such schools. I have see and witness the better part of cryptocurrency which has proven to be worth knowing from an early age before making some decisions in life at adulthood. Since your kids won’t have the ability to get acquainted deeply into the crypto space with the age they’re now, getting them to first know about it through the the educative simples tools you mentioned are the best approach for now.

Giving children financial education is very good because it makes them financially literate or dependent at some certain age, and they can explore all means that are legal to get or make money depending on the knowledge imbibed in them. These days, education is made easier for kids as there are lots of educative channels or sources through which kids can be taught. Crypto youtube cartoons could do this perfectly well as it is designed for kids at that tender age, and when they constantly listen and watch these cartoons, it begins to stick into their memories, and gradually it becomes part of them till they get to that age of maturity when they can start doing things all by themselves.
-
Is the cashflow for kids the same as the board game that R. Kiyosaki introduced? If so, that's probably the first one that you should show to your kid. I think the knowledge they can get from that goes beyond crypto. Telling them about blockchain is a more technical stuff and they can learn that later.

In this day and age, it is good to introduce children to cryptocurrency, block chain and currency. Because in this day and age, children are addicted to various games on their phones and various media. These addictions will ruin their future. So, to prevent these things, I think it is good to introduce children to block chain and currency. By doing this, their future generation will go a long way. So, educate children about digital currency and let them invest properly.

I would say that any age is good, but if children understand fully what money is and have experience of earning money themselves. Currently, cryptocurrency is more about investment, than transactions, technology, anonymity. Parents should be ready that "making money" will be the only thing that will interest children in crypto, when they start to learn that. Everything about starting own project, blockchain, testing - they will find all that boring and wont focus on learning. They will only focus on "if they buy X, when they will become rich". If a parent is ready to discuss all that, ready to be responsible for unfulfilled dreams, fails in trading, wrong expectation, then a parent should start introducing crypto to children. Be ready to cover their losses from own pocket.

Letting your kids know about crypto will be based on how inquisitive they are about it and what level they are. You don't talk about crypto to your kids when you haven't heard them talk about it or ask you about it. It should be when you have heard them talking about it, you can quietly break it down to them on how crypto investment works. What they should know about it.
I can't move into telling my younger siblings about crypto when I know she hasn't come across the word "crypto" before. Even if she has, hasn't asked about it
I concur to this point of yours, cause when there is interest, there will be a zeal to learn. Though, as a father, knowing what to teach your children that will benefit them in future is very okay, as it is related to financial education and digital technology at a tender age. Lets say, if the child is below 16 years, and is being taught about legit financial knowledge, the seed has been planted, and as he/she grows, there will be interest in finding more or asking more questions related to it. But if he/she is above 16, they might find difficulties receiving what he is being taught, as a feeling of accepting what he/she wants and rejecting that he/she feels is not of interest.

I was wondering what time is right to introduce my son in particular into crypto, is it ok at 10,12,15 or perhaps at adulthood 18yrs.I was advised to first get them acquainted with digital currencies and blockchain, their meanings and value in a relatable way they can assimilate and grasp. I was told to begin spurring their interest with simple tools, so I searched and came across kits like blockchain and cashflow for kids, crypto kitties and monopoly and some digital games as a good start. The aim is to use these to educate them about digital currencies, things associated with them before letting them into investing properly.
Is it worth the try? you may have a better idea.
what do you advice?
My advice is to allow the kids to face their studies, at such tender age of 10, 12, or even 15 years old, their education is paramount to any other thing, and this is not me saying that crypto eduction isn't part of education, but I think it's better to allow their brain to develop to a considerable stage before they get exposed to the world of cryptocurrencies.
Let me say it become very OK is you start letting them in on cryptocurrency while they are in their university level, by this time, they are already of age and can easily understand whatever they are taught about crypto, I feel that at this stage, you won't even have to do much any more since they already have friends in school who may likely be into crypto as well, they can all learn and master crypto together.

You want your kids to receive the best quality education, and I do not think that everything must be introduced into the child. This leads to the fact that crypto, with all its complexity and constant changes to occur, is too hard for them to understand before they are used to basic logical thinking or reading people’s patterns. Hence, when children are young, they are still in the process of developing the opinions and ideas, therefore, one should not burden them with such a large amount of digital economics that might supersedes the curiosity they possess. It is easier to let them frolic, engage in discussions and even establish their self-esteem first. But, as often, it is possible to discuss crypto in high school or college if it’s connected with the interests of teenagers themselves.

Teaching about finance to children under !6 years old is indeed easier than teaching children who are a bit older. because sometimes they have their own thoughts.
learning crypto is better for children who can already control their emotions because if it's just knowledge, it's okay, but if you start practicing investing or trading, this requires good emotional control.

Maybe it depends on the child's parents, for example I have a child and my plan is that by the age of 9 I will make him understand at least the value of money in human life, and I will also teach him at least what bitcoin or cryptocurrency is
The usages that it can provide that help in the lives of people who believe in it. And how it can be used, the simple things how it helps the individual who believes in it.

Then you should also think about finding children content or bloggers, that explain about cryptocurrency. I have noticed, that today, no matter what parents try to teach or what knowledge to give, or direction, children pay more attention to what they see on YouTube, Instagram, TikTok. If you explain what cryptocurrency is that is one thing, but if a popular blogger does the same, it would give a bigger effect. Sometimes I think children have more trust in what they are told in social media, than what parents say IRL.

This is a subjective topic because not all kids have the same capabilities.
There might be some that can understand the basics of money and maybe crypto at a young age, and on the other hand, there might be some that even they've reached the teenager stage, they will never understand it. I would say it will depend, and as a parent, it's up to you to decide what age based on the capabilities of your kiddo.
As for me, my plan is I would teach them the basics of money at an early age. Maybe at around 5 years old. Not going into crypto immediately because it's very complex. I guess I'll teach the basics of finance like how to save, and many more. As time passes by, I'll try to teach the more complex ones and will try to teach the basics of crypto as well. That for me is a good approach. :)

I think what you said could be true, but it all depends on the child, because the typical child is certainly very different and not necessarily the same in accepting what is informed.
I totally agree, investment and trading are indeed more suitable for children who can already control their emotions, so they will be able to apply everything that will be done, not just the knowledge they have.

I think it’s best to teach them trading at the age of 20 because just like you said both investment and trading need emotional intelligence. By the that they should be matured and intelligent enough to understand the diffeent market conditions.

It is definitely worth a try if you are really interested in teaching your kids that. I hope that they understand why it is important, and being able to guide them through it would be good for them.
Maybe ask yourself first why you are doing it in the first place. Is it because you want them to learn a new type of financial instrument or another way to earn money?
I think we should understand that children are a very good instrument of the future, so teaching them about innovation and how to prepared for the future isn't bad, financial independent is a good thing though it should also be taught with caution, for me teaching my about Bitcoin in particular at early age is what I find very interesting but they'll have to also face their school and I wouldn't be forcing them on it too, I will have respect their feeling too if I find out that they are not really interested in it, I believe we all have choice, if tell them at that age may be they don't find it interesting then I wouldn't want to disturb them much but I will try my best for them to know the basics after all am a hodler and no one knows what will happen tomorrow.
To answer your question, I will say, am be teaching because I want them to understand what digital investment I and what can become of them in the future if they eventually decide to invest in Bitcoin when the are of age without wasting their money in things that doesn't guarantee a good financial standard for them in the future.

In this day and age, it is good to introduce children to cryptocurrency, block chain and currency. Because in this day and age, children are addicted to various games on their phones and various media. These addictions will ruin their future. So, to prevent these things, I think it is good to introduce children to block chain and currency. By doing this, their future generation will go a long way. So, educate children about digital currency and let them invest properly.
Yes, it is good to introduce children to blockchain and investing these days, but as they get older, they should have the knowledge and basic practice to grow. So that if they are allowed to consider one, they can see the path of the stars for themselves. Yes, in this era, children are involved in various platforms and with this they are becoming addicted to gambling. And they are roaming around different social media and spending their time. I mean, considering all aspects, introduce them to Bitcoin when they are around 18 to 20 years old and start investing.

This is a very good move. I have also thought about exposing my children to digital currencies, including crypto, from an early age once I start having kids. There is really no need to make crypto appear so sacred to our kids. These children grow up getting so familiar with fiat and can do both cash and online transactions with fiat. Children learn by observation; they will get a clear idea of what crypto is but will have to wait until they are done with high school before they can consider investing by themselves.
The essence of taking such a decision is to ensure that they concentrate on their academic studies first before facing the real world. All forms of investment on their behalf will come from me until they are ready and willing to be fully involved in crypto.

Involving your kids into crypto at a young age is a very good and opportunistic thing for them particularly. I think it would be of great benefit to your kids as many parents of nowadays especially africa fail to see the potential of introducing their children to the digital world at young ages while their brain are still nurturing.I particularly; i’m a victim of such.
Anyways; while nurturing and teaching them all about crypto; I doubt if it would be suitable to allow these kids stake these funds or manage real funds at an underage.This is however based in the amount of tryst you have on them to carry out specific tasks.I specifically think that they should be nurtured till 16 or 17 when their brain is developed well to a certain extent on money management.
I picture this as a great idea as a benefit to both you and your kids.

Everyone got different maturity and understanding level so if you're thinking that kids are ready to learn about money, future, financial security then it's good to introduce them to crypto too as soon as possible. But they may not have chance to start investing until they make their own money and when they started doing that might be the best time to guide them in the right way.

Sure, each person may have a different time to be mature. But I think, Senior high school is the minimum level to be quite mature. I personally think that 17 years old will be the minimum age and Senior high school is the minimum level of education for the kid. I think we don't need to hurry to learn the kids. Elementary school and Junior high school seem too early to learn them about crypto. Even if we only teach them about the basic matters, I think Senior high school is the minimum education level. In this level, they already quite understand about investment and using money for varied purposes. If we are too early to teach them, they may be confused and not comfortable to learn about it.

You made me recall a video of someone trying to ELI5 blockchain ecosystem to a kid. I don't remember what analogies they used, but I remember that the children they're talking with don't think about the topic too seriously. Probably not a good comparison to make, considering the limited controlled environment, but I do think telling them way too early can be a waste. There's no "correct" time to tell if we don't spend time talking about them in the first place. CMIIW.

Rather than teaching cryptocurrency and Bitcoin to a 13-year-old, it is better to try to teach him independence first... there are still many basic lessons that must be understood before stepping into this very volatile financial world... even when in high school, he may not be ready, maybe because the human resources are still inadequate... however, starting it is not a problem, as long as the main knowledge can be taught when in college..
This is not a matter of who is faster, but about when is the right time to provide this knowledge... everything has its portion... especially if the child is a boy, then his drive to learn something about money will always be interesting.

It shouldn't be about - profit line of thought - at all, in my opinion.
More about scarcity, concepts of the ledger, blocks, mining, and so on - in easy facts or videos to watch together.
Surely, that's only my view on it, but one should be old enough to venture into something that would make him (potentially) lose capital in the process.

In my opinion, one shouldn't necessarily know about the deep technical aspects of bitcoin, just the overview is enough and if they want to pursue a career related to blockchain then they might start learning about it though. We have lots of crypto millionaires who may not even knew what bitcoin was but they just bought it with spare money and the rest is history.
I am not saying that we should expect the same thing with another crypto but they just simply accumulate, know what is the right wallet and how to avoid the scams are enough.

what do you advice?
I believe when someone's kid is 10 years old then it's quite okay to introduce them to crypto, however that age not proper for investing or trading crypto. But as long as it comes to awareness and education then it's quite normal to teach your kid about crypto at 10.

To introduce crypto to children as young as 10 years can be considered as very beneficial given that professionality in the digital world is paramount nowadays. At that age, children do not yet have difficulty in understanding the basic concepts regarding technology and how it influences our existence. However, by merely explaining cryptos, you equip them to deal with the current changes and, at the same time, give a concept about money and technology. Nevertheless, it is relevant to stick to education and awareness only, as investing/trading in crypto is something that should be decided as they grow older and wiser.

It is all because the world is fast, and in our haste, we try to introduce them to big things. However too much exposure to such financial concepts can cause confusion something that such ten year old children do not require, they require more security, sincerity and space to play than learning something they will not use. Children are surrounded by technology, but because of that it does not mean that all technology shall be introduced to them. It is therefore important not to confuse education with indoctrination of certain mania. If an idea is not processed at the right moment it comes in, it does not replace the curiosity with idea as it develops gradually into confusion.

I don't agree with your opinion, friend. 10-year-old children are not yet able to invest or trade crypto, because they are still young if they enter the crypto world I am afraid they will be easily deceived by others and there will be many impacts.. it is better if we put them in school like other children until high school, with that they already understand and it is easy for us to teach the crypto world.

Do you give them an allowance?
Do you let them earn small money for chores?
If the answer to both above is yes then they are ready to learn crypto.
the fees is high for crypto to be used as allowance but if its going to use adopted. but might be good to use for small pay to them and then they will gradually learn even just making transactions in crypto wallets.
the only downside with kids having money like this is they might also learn to gamble when their friends do gamble. or worse buy drugs with it.
It is nice looking at the good side of things, but it is more advisable to wait for the right time to do some things that are necessary. If the children are not up to the stage of earning money as a priority, then teaching them about crypto is not too advisable. Instead, they should learn the traditional ways of earning money in the real-life world. Online gambling is one way so popular when it comes to the crypto industry, which is rampant, and most times, age restriction is not properly checked. Therefore, the children getting to the right age of attaining knowledge in crypto will be edged up not looking towards the wrong path in the internet.

Don't you give pocket money to your school-age child? And if you do give pocket money, give it either in cash fiat currency or cashless fiat currency. And it's not just a very large amount, but also so that they can buy their tiffin or buy a toy of their choice.
Currently, cryptocurrency is illegal in my country, otherwise I would definitely teach my children to make payments using decentralized wallets. Of course, I would also teach them the Binance Pay option because it would keep them free from unnecessary fees.
So you probably understand by now at what age I would allow children to use crypto. It's better to take cryptocurrency in a simple way rather than taking it so complicated.

No matter how much you explain to a school child about the potential of Bitcoin or Crypto, they will spend their money on various types of food or toys with their tiffin money. So children should be explained about Crypto after a certain age, which may be after 15 years. Because children below this age are not worried about financial matters in any way, they will not consider Crypto as a valuable asset and will not want to save them. Children below 15 years of age will prefer cash money because they can easily use it to buy their favorite things. So I would suggest that you should try to tell children about Bitcoin after 15 years of age and not at a younger age.

I think there is a point in teaching a child about crypto quickly before they are an adult. If we teach a child about crypto, they may forget it after a few days and it may even become more boring for them. And if an adult is told about crypto, he may be more receptive. At this time, he will definitely be able to retain whatever is taught to him. Those who are younger should not be pressured to learn about crypto. I think it's okay if children at least 15 years old are taught about crypto.

I also think that the concept of crypto is better introduced at a more mature age because it is not clear yet how this technology will influence the life of people in the future. Children often have little concentration, especially those in the early age and therefore putting them through an ordeal to learn a concept mostly draws their attention away. Conversely, majority of adults who have some prior exposure to money and economics should not find it very hard to bend and embrace something new like this. Still, familiarising them with some of those principles at 15 gives them enough time to process the knowledge they get to prevent them from feeling lost or out of place upon joining this world.

I mean, considering all aspects, introduce them to Bitcoin when they are around 18 to 20 years old and start investing.
Nowadays, as children grow up, their knowledge and intelligence increase. So you should not let your children go to 20 years. I think they should be interested in blockchain and investment work between the ages of 10-15. They cannot be left alone in blockchain and investment work, you should always be with them. If you notice that young children, for example, at the age of 8-10, become interested in phones and various social media and gambling inside the phone. So I think it is better to introduce them to blockchain for now as the children's intelligence and knowledge increases. You can show your intelligence and skills in investment work after gaining it. Because there is a little risk in investment work. In this way, you will be able to take your children forward.

I was wondering what time is right to introduce my son in particular into crypto, is it ok at 10,12,15 or perhaps at adulthood 18yrs.I was advised to first get them acquainted with digital currencies and blockchain, their meanings and value in a relatable way they can assimilate and grasp. I was told to begin spurring their interest with simple tools, so I searched and came across kits like blockchain and cashflow for kids, crypto kitties and monopoly and some digital games as a good start. The aim is to use these to educate them about digital currencies, things associated with them before letting them into investing properly.
Is it worth the try? you may have a better idea.
what do you advice?
Involving your kids into crypto at a young age is a very good and opportunistic thing for them particularly. I think it would be of great benefit to your kids as many parents of nowadays especially africa fail to see the potential of introducing their children to the digital world at young ages while their brain are still nurturing.I particularly; i’m a victim of such.
Anyways; while nurturing and teaching them all about crypto; I doubt if it would be suitable to allow these kids stake these funds or manage real funds at an underage.This is however based in the amount of tryst you have on them to carry out specific tasks.I specifically think that they should be nurtured till 16 or 17 when their brain is developed well to a certain extent on money management.
I picture this as a great idea as a benefit to both you and your kids.
I don't think I've ever seen a child explaining and making basic ideas about bitcoin or cryptocurrency. I want to do that with my son and it's not unlikely that it will happen to him, though he's still very young right now because he's not even 7 years old.
But the idea you gave me is a good one to educate him about bitcoin or crypto and be an influencer kid on the things we're doing here in the cryptocurrency field.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with trying to mention crypto to children when they are young. The word "crypto" (along with your preferred coin/token) can be as familiar to them as the word "money". Other than that, it is a matter of preference because what could suit you and your particular domestic setting might not be appropriate for another.

Teaching about finance to children under !6 years old is indeed easier than teaching children who are a bit older. because sometimes they have their own thoughts.
learning crypto is better for children who can already control their emotions because if it's just knowledge, it's okay, but if you start practicing investing or trading, this requires good emotional control.
Well, I reckon I'll teach my grandkids about the value of labor and dignity, how the economy and society operate instead of just focusing on finance. Honestly, I wouldn't want my grandkids to be tied down by financial worries from too young an age.
Crypto is just one market in the economy, and I won't push them to participate in this market if they just want to focus on stocks or science. I want to be a storyteller and a guide instead of deciding for them in their lives.

You are thinking about your grandchildren and want to tell them about Bitcoin or Crypto, it means you are already very old. And if you share your experience of knowing and learning and using Crypto at this old age with your grandchildren, then they will be attracted to Crypto very quickly. Because the current generation is very upgraded and everyone is very worried about technology especially Blockchain Ai etc. Brother I support your decision. And you will definitely succeed I believe in it

We can provide basic knowledge about crypto to our children, so that they understand what crypto is and the risks of investing and the benefits of crypto. So that the knowledge received by our children is balanced.
I have also started providing crypto knowledge to my child, because I believe crypto will be useful in the future. My child must not miss out on knowledge about crypto technology.

It is great to teach kids about finance at a young age, not just about crypto or BTC, but finance generally. Doing this will expose them to the financial world and prepare them to handle their finance expertly. If you do this, i am very sure your kids would thank you for it when they come of age.

Just as any other trade i will advice that as the child is growing up he should be introduce into crypto, so that he will grown up with the essential knowledge of crypto and become an expert just before the child finishes his or her high school, hence, it will heard him or her in developing innovative ideas on the betterment of the crypto world. I.e becomes the master of crypto at a very young age.

Yes, it is possible to introduce children to the concept of crypto and this is a good method to teach children on the new world that is more likely to adopt new technology in near future. Considering the speed at which the world is evolving, general knowledge in subjects like blockchain, digital exchanges and decentralisation would definitely place them at an enhanced vantage point. If they are given enough knowledge that they should gain, then they can transform more and be capable of utilising their knowledge to foster even new solutions that will assist in taking the crypto as well as other technologies to new levels.

If done correctly - sure thing, they will profit from it in the long run.
It's about getting the correct thoughts bugging in the heads of those that only start up - they can be easily tempted by many factors that are around in our space, and we should work on these accordingly.
-
What about "knowledge without practice is useless" kind of thing? I introduce kids to crypto, but when will have opportunity to use that knowledge? You think children will install mobile wallets on their gadgets instead of games? Its a controversial situation if we introduce them to crypto, but since they are not 18yo, they are not allowed to use exchange to buy crypto, as well as world of investment is closed to them (they can only invest through adults assistance). Parents want to give them financial knowledge, however some parents are not happy when their children invest/buy questionable altcoins (such as meme-coins), or children are easier to scam.

- You know, you can honestly say that a child is very blessed if their parents are open to bitcoin and cryptocurrency, because we are sure that most crypto enthusiast parents will really teach their children to be familiar with this field that we are in.
And it is strange when a child immediately has knowledge about bitcoin or cryptocurrency. Of course, their parents will teach them for sure in a quick way
that they know they will understand it immediately, a good way.

That's another factor that makes me sure not to teach children who still enjoy games and don't have a desire for financial learning... yes, fraud... even though we have accompanied them for every decision made with our suggestions, but every human being has their own instincts... there are times when some decisions will be taken without the knowledge of the companion, and for some fatal decisions it is clearly very risky...
Therefore, waiting for their thinking to be more mature and ready for any risk in cryptocurrency is also important to consider... don't let us just make it a money-making tool for fraudsters out there...

I think it is better to ask not at what age let kids into crypto, but at what age let teenagers into crypto. Kids - I think they arent ready to understand completely finances, investment and etc. We can tell about it, but they will only blink eyes. Teenagers are more advanced. Specially late school classes, when they have such lessons as basic economics. At that age they at least understand that during purchase and investment they can get tricked and lose money, while kids still see world as rainbow, unicorns, pony, toys and games. But teenagers, they more or less understand how cruel, unfair world can be, that smiling stranger on the street that try to sell you "super profitable altcoins" can be a liar.

Children can start with he learning of crypto right from their early stage in life, as long as they have interest in learning, then we can help them with the required exposure needed to give to them towards learning about what cryptocurrency is, this will also help them towards having a more activeness toward the learning of what crypto is, because the more we go by this, they more they are being exposed on what it is and grow to know more better and do better in cryptocurrency.

The presence of technology at the present has made the crypto-world to be for everyone whether a professional on an investor. This means that children who are into advanced technology and issues of the digital nature can also be introduced to some general aspects of crypto like blockchain, cryptocurrency, etc in an easy manner. It will also make them ready for the future of digital economy and make them gain insight which may make them encourage their minds about the way people transact through the use of technology. Thereby, it is only safe to conclude that if they are given the space to learn, their capability as well as the potential to use and even adapt to these trends might develop at a much faster pace.

There is no limits or age bracket for children. To me provided they can read and write to know about Bitcoin then fine the better for them to grow more faster with the know of bitcon in them, some may see that it's too early to teach children about Bitcoin without knowing that it's a financial knowledge which they aren't thought in school otherwise the graduates and numbers of people who has passed through could be been extremely wealthy..

Small concepts would turn to big fundamentals eventually. Though I would wait for the child to be a bit more mature, can't say the age exactly, but it would be great to teach the little man about simple concepts that can be told about BTC, to spark the interest, and eventually - passion.
-
Maybe 15 year olds can be given education about crypto, where children of this age are developing to find their identity and direction in life. After finishing school, they will explore the free world and are required to be productive to survive, without the influence of their parents anymore.

Why would children rush to grow faster? You think that if they gain financial knowledge they would become wealthy sooner? There is absolutely no guarantee for that. If the idea is turn kids into investors as early as possible, then there is a other side of coin for that - they can get broke faster. Imo, its better to let children stay children as long as possible, as they will never return to childhood, but have 50+ minimum years to earn.

No problem if it's just about bitcoin. The question is about learning about crypto which we know goes beyond BTC. It's still problematic if they learn about chasing profits from meme tokens too soon.

Yeah, they can lose more but they will have more time to learn and recover those losses. The other problem with adulthood is that we tend to play it safe and leave it late to attempt for investments. If it goes south, there is less time to get them back.

No matter how much you explain to a school child about the potential of Bitcoin or Crypto, they will spend their money on various types of food or toys with their tiffin money. So children should be explained about Crypto after a certain age, which may be after 15 years. Because children below this age are not worried about financial matters in any way, they will not consider Crypto as a valuable asset and will not want to save them. Children below 15 years of age will prefer cash money because they can easily use it to buy their favorite things. So I would suggest that you should try to tell children about Bitcoin after 15 years of age and not at a younger age.
Sorry brother I think you are not getting my points here.
I am not telling you to give them all access of your fund or that amount of fund what don't match with their age . Like surely you would never give a 12 year old boy, meaning your child, access to the 100k amount of funds you are holding?
The point I want to make here is that we actually give our children cash or digital money as their pocket money so that they can go to school and eat tiffin or buy their small toys. And in this case, I asked them to give them Bitcoin or cryptocurrency so that they can at least learn the fundamental uses of cryptocurrency from a young age. And obviously I am not telling you to make forcefully pressure on them for using cryptocurrency.

I was wondering what time is right to introduce my son in particular into crypto, is it ok at 10,12,15 or perhaps at adulthood 18yrs.I was advised to first get them acquainted with digital currencies and blockchain, their meanings and value in a relatable way they can assimilate and grasp. I was told to begin spurring their interest with simple tools, so I searched and came across kits like blockchain and cashflow for kids, crypto kitties and monopoly and some digital games as a good start. The aim is to use these to educate them about digital currencies, things associated with them before letting them into investing properly.
Is it worth the try? you may have a better idea.
what do you advice?
I think digital games are a good start to familiarize kids and at the age of 10-12 yrs old, because at this age they can relate to things. And maybe some parents will do it even lower than this.
Then there is no need to explain to them specifically the meaning of blockchain technology or bitcoin, but just for them to be familiar and know where and how it is used to help people and I think these are good steps to educate them in my opinion..

Children are more faster in learning and whatever you may teach them at their age are already stored in their memories which they wouldn't required having to face challenges when it is time, although your decision are fine but to me what I said is what I would do, like currently my daughter knows about Bitcoin even though she doesn't knows dipper but at least she able to differentiate that "this is Bitcoin, and this ethereum and Tron" so when mentioning them she's always happy.

Among those mentioned countries which is the most Bitcoin friendly nation as you think?
Of course you can't mention countries without mentioning Nigeria. This is because lot of people know who about Bitcoin and they are actively involving themselves into Bitcoin transaction on a daily basis.

We can then name everything and cover it "they will have more time to recover". Yes, they could have more time to recover, but also such early loss or failure could make so much stress that when they grow up they will never get even close to investment or crypto. Children go through things differently than adults. They get more disappointed from failure than adults, because they are not so prepared to real world.
Nevertheless, I would not push children on learning crypto, investment, making money. Maybe give an introduction part to make children familiar with new words, phrases. But if child shows no response or interest, leave it until teenager period.

Bitcoin offers convenience to a lot of people in countries with little infrastructural transport or unstable economies. The developing countries like Nigeria, have been found to adopt Bitcoin quickly because they are looking for ways to possibly avoid inflation and inadequate conventional banking system. While there seems to be more volatility in the emerging markets, developed countries generally have steady financial markets and are more concerned with prudent use of cryptocurrencies. But, despite these, there are always some certain regulatory imperatives that create challenges in most of the countries, nonetheless, some of the liberal countries have given chance to the new technologies and hence the popularity of this noble tool not only as an investment avenue but also as a means of exchange.

On the moment that it do show up some interest at the time that you do made out some introduction in regarding about it. Dont trying out to force it out because if trying out to introduce things on a forceful way then it wont be that effective because they will be just that simply forgetting it. So its important that you should be seeing out whether your kids showing off some signs about having the interest on dealing up into crypto. Somehow its not that bad on trying out to make some introductions or some simple idea on telling them on what it is. If they do show off some signs about interested about it then this is where you do make further explaination but if they do find it out to be complicated then its better to let it pass and wait up for the right time.

Just dont take comments here as a true and serious advices. I have a kid whos is younger than 10, which means have at least some understanding what money are and where they come from. My kid isnt spoiled, but show no interest to money. Has more creative personality, than money oriented. And on a contrast there is neighbors kid, who is 7 and just went to school. That kid spends way to much time in gadgets and his current dream is to become blogger and earn by blogging and content creation. Maybe, introduction to crypto for that kid might be useful if that kid is so twisted on money and regular job does not apply to him. However, as a parent, as wish that my kid will be kid for as long as possible and have carefree time for as long as possible.

As parents, we have our own considerations for our children, maybe some think to let children spend their childhood playing and don't need to give them knowledge about crypto. However, if children are interested and curious about crypto, we should give them basic knowledge about crypto. So everything is according to our children's interests and abilities, don't force it.

Introducing Bitcoin to children in my opinion is also better from an early age. It doesn't mean that they have to be able to understand Bitcoin in depth, but at least familiarizing them with various information about Bitcoin and crypto from an early age is indeed necessary, so that they can also be more prepared as their age and mental readiness develop. Not to force, but just get used to it.
and it's true, the competition in the future will be very tight, much tighter, not only in the offline world but also online, that's why preparing yourself from an early age is quite necessary, but still according to their age.

Indeed, each parents may have different considerations. So, there is no problem if we have different views about learning crypto to children. Sure, if the children are interested in crypto, we can start teaching them with basic knowledge about crypto. But I think it shouldn't be too early, just wait for them to be in Junior high school at least. In this level, they already have the ability to understand something like crypto. But if they aren't interested, just let them know when they are already in university level only. However, we don't force them to choose crypto.
-
Letting your kids know about crypto will be based on how inquisitive they are about it and what level they are. You don't talk about crypto to your kids when you haven't heard them talk about it or ask you about it. It should be when you have heard them talking about it, you can quietly break it down to them on how crypto investment works. What they should know about it.
I can't move into telling my younger siblings about crypto when I know she hasn't come across the word "crypto" before. Even if she has, hasn't asked about it
I concur to this point of yours, cause when there is interest, there will be a zeal to learn. Though, as a father, knowing what to teach your children that will benefit them in future is very okay, as it is related to financial education and digital technology at a tender age. Lets say, if the child is below 16 years, and is being taught about legit financial knowledge, the seed has been planted, and as he/she grows, there will be interest in finding more or asking more questions related to it. But if he/she is above 16, they might find difficulties receiving what he is being taught, as a feeling of accepting what he/she wants and rejecting that he/she feels is not of interest.
Teaching about finance to children under !6 years old is indeed easier than teaching children who are a bit older. because sometimes they have their own thoughts.
learning crypto is better for children who can already control their emotions because if it's just knowledge, it's okay, but if you start practicing investing or trading, this requires good emotional control.
I think what you said could be true, but it all depends on the child, because the typical child is certainly very different and not necessarily the same in accepting what is informed.
I totally agree, investment and trading are indeed more suitable for children who can already control their emotions, so they will be able to apply everything that will be done, not just the knowledge they have.
I think it’s best to teach them trading at the age of 20 because just like you said both investment and trading need emotional intelligence. By the that they should be matured and intelligent enough to understand the diffeent market conditions.
I think sometimes age does not guarantee that the child can and is able to do well, because it all depends on the child being able to control his emotions or not, because it is needed that the child will become more mature because he is able to control himself and is ready to be able to invest or trade.
You can set the child's age, but it would be wiser to be the child's readiness because age may not be more mature than it actually is.

Yes, that's right, but I think that if a child is introduced to this cryptocurrency without an adult, then he can start his life from here. And it completely depends on the passion and knowledge of that child. We know that a child is only ready for the subject that is taught to him from a young age. I would say that they should be introduced to the cryptocurrency market from a young age, but I think it is better to do this at the age of 16 to 17. Because if we look at this era, every child now has a mobile phone in his hand and they roam around different platforms, if they are given cryptocurrency, then they will be able to learn a lot from here and they will be satisfied with what they learn from a young age and later it will not be so difficult for them to understand.

The question asked by the OP has no specific answer because it is one of those questions that come down to specific beliefs of the parents. They know themselves and they know their children therefore they do not need to ask anonymous members of a forum for any advice on something they will probably do when they are ready (without input from forum members).

I personally believe that this should not be like whatever you want; your kids should become that personality. I believe that we should at least give them this minor freedom, they should be what they want to become, as they can put their energy in that thing they are interested in, and yes, if anyone's kid want to involve in crypto space at his/her own interest than I believe that this would give them a good setisfication rather than envoling them into it just because we want them to involve in this space.
This is just my opinion and point of view, and other than that, I also respect everyone's point of view as I can just share mine here, and if one likes my opinion, then he/she can act accordingly. What do you say?

I think sometimes age does not guarantee that the child can and is able to do well, because it all depends on the child being able to control his emotions or not, because it is needed that the child will become more mature because he is able to control himself and is ready to be able to invest or trade.
You can set the child's age, but it would be wiser to be the child's readiness because age may not be more mature than it actually is.
If we have the desire to teach children to practice trading, we must understand our children's ability to control emotions. because in addition to basic knowledge of trading, making fundamental and technical analysis, emotional management is also very important in order to achieve the target of the trading we do.

Just dont take comments here as a true and serious advices. I have a kid whos is younger than 10, which means have at least some understanding what money are and where they come from. My kid isnt spoiled, but show no interest to money. Has more creative personality, than money oriented. And on a contrast there is neighbors kid, who is 7 and just went to school. That kid spends way to much time in gadgets and his current dream is to become blogger and earn by blogging and content creation. Maybe, introduction to crypto for that kid might be useful if that kid is so twisted on money and regular job does not apply to him. However, as a parent, as wish that my kid will be kid for as long as possible and have carefree time for as long as possible.
As parents, we have our own considerations for our children, maybe some think to let children spend their childhood playing and don't need to give them knowledge about crypto. However, if children are interested and curious about crypto, we should give them basic knowledge about crypto. So everything is according to our children's interests and abilities, don't force it.
If children are curious in crypto and in new knowledge that is great and that is one thing. I always try to support if possible everything my child raises interest in. But, if the goal of a parent to introduce crypto to kids to earn money, to turn kids into investors, to make them think about money, then I would not support introducing crypto to kids. One thing is that it is great if children know how to earn money (however I dont think that crypto is only about earning), other thing is to turning kids into money hostages. We should not turn them into little adults who only think how to earn, how to get more profitable offer, what is more valuable, investment, bills, expenses and so on.

It's like my son who has no interest in money, instead when I hand him money, he throws it away, and I'm not surprised because he's still young and doesn't understand enough, but once he's interested and has understanding, I'll gradually familiarize him with what I'm doing.
I also don't force my son, of course I prefer it slowly, even if it's slow as long as he absorbs it and picks it up little by little,
that's what I plan to do with my son as he grows up.

Also it is important not to forget, that today, children better focus on education and skills that they can use or be useful after they graduate from university or school. Crypto - useful knowledge, but besides investing where could a child use it? Trading? CEX dont allow underage to use it. Use crypto wallet to make payments - places where it is possible to pay with crypto are still too limited. Coding, creating project, developing? I dont think that many kids will be so much interesting in that at young age. Make NFT - probably, but interest to pixeled graphic editor will end soon.

It seems very limited, but actually to be able to start understanding cryptocurrency we can start from simple things first... yes, such as p2p transactions with a trial period, creating a wallet, securing a wallet, avoiding fraud and so on.... that is very necessary before the child is really released to pursue a career in the cryptocurrency world directly...
Teaching him directly to invest or trade, that is obviously a very big risk... because it is at a higher level, and is not a basic element.

There is no limits or age bracket for children. To me provided they can read and write to know about Bitcoin then fine the better for them to grow more faster with the know of bitcon in them, some may see that it's too early to teach children about Bitcoin without knowing that it's a financial knowledge which they aren't thought in school otherwise the graduates and numbers of people who has passed through could be been extremely wealthy..
No problem if it's just about bitcoin. The question is about learning about crypto which we know goes beyond BTC. It's still problematic if they learn about chasing profits from meme tokens too soon.
Learning entire cryptocurrency is really that hard and difficult for them but only Bitcoin is that easier for them especially just about how it works and the security aspect of but wouldn't be that hard for them to know, but apart from this going extreme level to know about the entire cryptocurrency market could be hard for children as it's something that needs a matured heart to be able to understand how they are being operated.

For parents to get their children into cryptocurrencies, they need to make sure that they are mature enough, and are almost about to enter the legal age so that they don't face any issues or make mistakes because when someone is mature enough, they wouldn't make childish mistakes or decisions that could make them lose money, or they might have a hard time understanding the concepts that are important for them to know.
Even if children have already heard about cryptocurrencies by that age, because we know that cryptocurrencies are everywhere these days, and children use the internet from a very early age these days, it's still better to have conversations and teaching sessions with them, it will increase their knowledge and interest and they will become more inclined with it.

As parents, we must provide useful knowledge for our children, including if we are crypto lovers, we can also provide them with knowledge about crypto but adjusted to their age. because good emotional management and understanding of logic are very necessary in crypto investment, if children do not have maturity, they should not enter the crypto world, because this is a matter of money and also risk.

I do agree, but we shouldn't force them to go into crypto, maybe just give them an idea as what crypto is and what it had done to you and what it provides them. Then maybe they will understand it right away. But still it's up to them when they wanted to invest so there are no age ideal for your children. We all know that there are a lot of influence too from the outside because of social media. So maybe sooner or later they will truly appreciate crypto and when they have their own jobs and making their own money then maybe they will invest on crypto just like his parents did.

That is true and only restricting them to their level is also fine but that doesn't mean that they should even put heads to know about cryptocurrency. When they have clue or basic knowledge towards all angle it gives them that edge to flow quickly in discussion in school or during quiz because most the schools nowadays do including cryptocurrencies in their questions and some economic study's.

I can't imagine that, explaining the mechanism of blockchain working to a 14 year old is too early for most kids... Instead of giving useless knowledge, maybe it's better to teach the basics of finance first, like saving or showing the pros and cons of debt, or how to make simple decisions for investment or consumption...
It is better to be patient, and not to put too much pressure on children to force knowledge that is beyond their control... it can have a bad impact and cause children to tend to be stressed... seeing the child's potential first is a wise thing, such as seeing the child's talents, what they like and what they are good at so that they can be developed, rather than judging all children, because not all children are Bitcoin investors...

Just teach them whenever you are comfortable telling them to. There is no actual time and age when you should be telling your kids to learn about crypto. Teach them the basics about it and they will remember that. Soon, they will ask questions that you would be happy to answer and that is very important for you to determine it.

I agree with what you are saying, just teach them basic things about Bitcoin or cryptocurrency as long as they are related to them. It is not necessary to teach them to trade immediately, of course not for that matter. They should just know how it is used and can help us.
Of course, with simple things that they see and hear repeatedly, it is guaranteed that in the end they will have the curiosity to ask us, all interest starts with curiosity
and asking questions.

The p2p transaction is what worries me most. Because it is a blockchain, there is no way back, no cancel button if transaction was send. p2p - this means communication and trades with a stranger. For a child, that a red flag from my point of view. You can never tell what is on strangers mind. If investing (which I would not recommend for a child to do until he is about to be a teenager or 18) that is something more or less what can be checked for legitimacy, then p2p is like gambling. Impossible to monitor kid 24/7 and help with advices, when he can lose all money in one click.

Yeah, as far as investment goes, there are games that I played when I was a little, like monopoly of millionaires game. It's like buying a house and then selling it later for profits or if you need money.
Same concept in Bitcoin investment, maybe if you have this kind of board game and introduce it to them, they might have a concept of it and perhaps when they grow up, they will apply it.
-
I feel age 12 isn’t too young. We already have several kids thriving in the space some KOLs are even that young. But it also depends on the kid and whether they’re genuinely interested in blockchain, DeFi, and all that.

This forum has the same problem. When threads have reached their usefulness before signature spammers take over, either the OPs or admin should lock them in order to encourage others to create more topics.

I was wondering what time is right to introduce my son in particular into crypto, is it ok at 10,12,15 or perhaps at adulthood 18yrs.I was advised to first get them acquainted with digital currencies and blockchain, their meanings and value in a relatable way they can assimilate and grasp. I was told to begin spurring their interest with simple tools, so I searched and came across kits like blockchain and cashflow for kids, crypto kitties and monopoly and some digital games as a good start. The aim is to use these to educate them about digital currencies, things associated with them before letting them into investing properly.
Is it worth the try? you may have a better idea.
what do you advice?
If I have to teach kids about crypto, I would start teaching them in younger age, as teaching them after 15th might not get their attention as I have seen after that age kids already starts to show interest in different things so if they liked the idea of crypto at that age it would be much better.
Teaching them after 18th can still be good but if you really want them to learn about blockchain and crypto then do it when you think they can do it don't look at numbers (of age).

Basing up into the technology that we do have today or something that do talks about accessibility then it wont be shocking that kids would be that easily adapt at the time or moment that they've been exposed on which means that there's that huge potential that they might be showing off some interest into crypto on which if you do saw up those kind of signs then it will be that up to you on how you do made out such introduction. We do know that kids are easy to adapt on whatever the things that they've been that seeing and as a parent and you are wanting for them to learn about cryptocurrencies then its not a bad thing for you to make out those guidance on what it is all about. You are the ones that do make ou such introduction and all the way for them to learn the opportunity but at least always tell them about the risks involved.

Don't mind but you use a lot of "that" it really confusing to understand the statement. I just understand few words and used my sense to understand or you can say guess, what you said.
Speaking of kids, you are right we are the ones introducing them so we have to make sure we are teaching them right and giving them the full knowledge about risks and rewards for there better understanding, as twisting words or fabricating information just to make them adopt crypto is not right.

I also fully comprehend that children’s curiosity in new things is fine but it is equally important that it should be well monitored. When they begin to show slight signs of interest in issues such as crypto or any other digital technologies involved in financial transactions, you are free to begin a casual talk about how that money is created in the current world. This doesn’t mean you have to talk about investment or market risks from the first meeting but just exposing the people to something new such as what is digital transactions or what is blockchain. Lastly, bear in mind that children are copies of what they see around them, they will learn how you handle the gadgets. If you explain to them that it implies some responsibility, and they are not playing it just as a game, they will become more wise or rather, more attentive to the digital environment.

Same concept in Bitcoin investment, maybe if you have this kind of board game and introduce it to them, they might have a concept of it and perhaps when they grow up, they will apply it.
I agree with this statement because board games such as Monopoly can offer some insight on investing mainly regarding purchase and selling of property with an aim of making a profit. Of course there are various differences between the outside world and the game but the basic concept makes a person come to know as to how the transaction process and management of assets take place in the real world. Just like the Bitcoin that enables one to purchase various products and services with an intention of making a profit, monopoly makes us develop a strategy on the right time to make our move. If kids had lessons close to such games during their age of indoctrination, then, they might be in a better position to identify investment opportunities tomorrow, whether it be in a more abstract world as cryptocurrency.
-
Do you really think that game of Monopoly could teach lots of useful? Game is oriented on luck and dice. There is no insight investing in this game, as you see whole board, can check everything, and usually see fund and property of other players. It does not teach much about investing, because if you get your figure on a property, you either always buy it or pay other. And from my experience, I dont remember game of Monopoly being always fun. Only one player gets fun, other disappointment of a loss. I dont think that with Monopoly, a child could learn about investing and proper fund management, as those money isnt earned but only given.

Teaching kids about Bitcoin is definitely a good idea. But I think it depends on the age of the kids. If a kid is very young, meaning if you teach them now, they might forget after a moment, then it's better to teach them later. Kids who have the ability to remember and are at a certain age level should be taught about Bitcoin so that they can use that learning and it will be useful in the future.

Most of the kids in this era spend their time on tiktok and youtube so they don't like to hear this kind of history. Many also waste their time on games so the history of crypto doesn't interest them. But i think when they show interest in money then they will willingly research crypto. Like when i was younger, I wasn't interested in crypto because my family used to pay me so i didn't need extra money. People find their own jobs when they need money.

Of course, it is rather to certain extent true, the present younger generation gives more preference to something that is quick and fun, like games and social media. This means they care less for such aspects as historical background, for instance, the history of crypto. Nonetheless, the need for everyone to learn how to manage his or her own finances on their own increases as time passes and thereby, I am sure they will start developing an interest. As for me before, when the need did not arise and I can sit mid time I did not think twice about things like this. When it was needed I later realised. Crypto can expand their thinking if they think that there is some money to be made on it. It just takes time, and it can just pop up one day, when they for example feel that crypto can or does affect them in some way.

While we discuss ideal age for kid to get introduced crypto, I think we have forgotten, that children today are not very interested in learning or getting new skill. I observe, that children dont want to learn what teachers give at school, and we talk about them learning something extra. I parent, who wants to introduce crypto to children, must put a lot of effort to make that knowledge useful. I think today 1/3 times when parents try to give new knowledge, children answer with «not interested».

Social media are indeed very much felt today, and you are right that children in this era will be more familiar with what is on social media, TikTok, YouTube and not a few who actually like games, and indeed we cannot prevent that because when they still like to play and don't need something and still hope for their parents.
There is a development that is getting better when the telegram mini-game is getting busy and many have glanced at it, but there are still few who want to learn crypto and only play with it, but one day there will be many who will start to get to know if the telegram mini-game develops well.

It is true that things are now changed for kids and it can be hard to make them attention for anything that is not just fun at this time. And which you said about kids are not very interested in what they learn at school really shows problem when we talk about them learning something extra like crypto.
If parents wants to teach their child about crypto they must be very creative and make it interesting and connected to what child already likes. If they just try to teach it like another school subject child will probably just say they are not interested and will show irresponsibility regarding this. If you want to teach them so you need to understand what makes child want to learn and teach them in that way means just see his/her behavior instead of just thinking they will be curious on their own.

Inculcating learning discipline on children starts from the moment you notice they want to copy and recreate happenings around them. That way, they become acquainted to learning new things from their parents and when it becomes part of them, you'll see that they will always be open to learning new things whenever you introduce any to them. Where I come from, children aren't given the liberty to choose what to learn and not what to learn rather you teach them everything you think will be helpful to their growth and future living so when they grow up, they can then choose which to go with and not to continue with.
Crypto is taking over the global financial system and teaching your children about crypto at a tender age I think is a good idea. Personally, I feel that a child of 6 years is old enough for the parents to start teaching them the basics of crypto.

- Maybe it depends on our parents how we introduce bitcoin or cryptocurrency to our children, of course I really do, one of my main dreams for my child is that he is still in the elementary period, I will really familiarize him with what I do, from its usages and benefits.
I am at age 8 yrs old, I will really familiarize him, I will take it at the level of his understanding, I don't need to explain to him the literal function of bitcoin or cryptocurrency. It seems no different from the Fiat currency that we use here in our country.
-
Crypto for young children seems boring because it requires a very complex understanding, in my experience the way Bitcoin works is quite complicated, let alone having to be learned by young children, it will definitely be boring.
Usually, young children always want to joke with their friends and don't want to think about something serious like Bitcoin or altcoins. For me, young children are under 12 years old and usually they are in my environment having fun playing ball.
Unless maybe the child is categorized as a genius because at the age of under 12 years old they already understand how blockchain works and various technologies in crypto and if that exists then I will appreciate the child by praying for him to be even better for his future in the crypto circle.

I don't think you should give it too much thought. Just go with the flow, as he/she gets into tech more and more gradually, it will come up organically.

We can no longer turn a blind eye to the idea that has grown from the technological front when it comes to the behaviours of young people. They were raised with different entertainment means in the palms of their hands. Such games as those that are gradually appearing in the telegrams are another facet of the digital world, which should not be passive to. While many individuals prefer to play rather than to gain more understanding it is quite normal as people start to familiarise something new. Therefore, the light feeling that is felt at the beginning of it can help gradually create interest in the larger world. It is not easy and everything requires a small beginning that will later lead to greater consequences in the future.

I don't think you should give it too much thought. Just go with the flow, as he/she gets into tech more and more gradually, it will come up organically.
I agree with you, kids are different, some learn faster and are smarter at a very young age, just follow your kids development. I think it is important to introduce kids to finance very early, it does not have to be only bitcoin or crypto, but everything about finance, as for what age is ideal, like i have said, it is your childs development that will determine that.

While we discuss ideal age for kid to get introduced crypto, I think we have forgotten, that children today are not very interested in learning or getting new skill. I observe, that children dont want to learn what teachers give at school, and we talk about them learning something extra. I parent, who wants to introduce crypto to children, must put a lot of effort to make that knowledge useful. I think today 1/3 times when parents try to give new knowledge, children answer with «not interested».
Indeed, in some cases, this happens. They are a different generation from us. Their level of desire to learn certain things is not good enough, especially those related to basic science. There are even many cases in my area where 14-year-old children cannot even do addition and multiplication. Because they are currently more focused and like gadgets.
However, if it is related to technology, usually they will be more enthusiastic, maybe each region will be different and this is what we have to adjust. When we see enthusiasm in these children when we talk about it, we can start slowly, to first introduce Bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general. Children sometimes when they are interested in what we are talking about, they can also be very enthusiastic to explore more. So, we are the ones who must observe the readiness of our children, because sometimes the standards and conditions are quite different.

I agree that each individual child can be said to be different in each response to what will be done, including when providing guidance on crypto issues. We can teach them early so that they are more familiar, but it would be better if the child himself wanted to accept to learn because it will be easier to absorb the learning that is done without forcing himself.
