Should children be educated about Bitcoin?

[Lucius]

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

I'm sure that a lot of crypto projects target the younger population (by that I mean those who are at least 16+), by presenting them with something they can identify with - and this can be about tokens that have interesting names - whether it is about some animals, popular words used by young people and similar.

If someone thinks it's wrong for their children to know what Bitcoin is, they should at least try to protect them from bad information and teach them never to invest money in anything that looks suspicious and is offered to them by unknown people online.

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

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

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

Children of current age are more active on social media as compared to their parents so it is not difficult for them to pick up the necessary points which others teach them. Presently every individual is familiar with the crypto and its investment so surely children who are actively involved in social media will have a good mindset about Bitcoin.

We should introduce different sources through which they can learn about Bitcoin and also we have to share pros and cons of crypto with them so they will be familiar with everything due to which they will become successful investors in future.

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

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

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

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

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

        -      I don't think there's anything wrong if we just give the children a familiarization about how to use Bitcoin; it's not necessary to explain to them the technical things about it; always hinfi, that's the right way to educate them about Bitcoin.

Even if it's just Bitcoin first and not the other cryptocurrency first, Then teach them the basics of what Bitcoin is and how it is used or converted into money, and familiarize them with wallet apps or exchanges on how to buy or exchange in trade or exchange.

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

Most of the children have active minds because they go with the changing technology and do what their elders do so I think there will be a smooth way for them to learn about Bitcoin as they are already involved in social media and learning through using their mobiles.

It is not necessary that they will invest by themselves at the start but it can also be possible that parents make an investment in Bitcoin for them and then teach them through using different ways so after a few years they will understand each and everything so handling digital investment will be a feasible way of receiving money.

My opinion is that children should be at least 12+ years old to present such things to them, and of course the simplest presentation would be through a video like the one you can see in this topic. What is your opinion on this topic and do you think that children should be educated about Bitcoin?

Can I reply to this old thread with a new quote based on my own personal experience?

12 years old is still seen in my neighborhood but overall in my country there must be 1 or 2 children who can already make Game applications on Android.
Unfortunately, learning about Bitcoin seems very complicated and those who are 12 years old are more inclined to play behind the house with their neighbor's friends.
Unless maybe they are over 17 years old or when they enter vocational school, because in my neighborhood for vocational school there are majors such as cars, motorbikes, banking, computers, electricity, welding etc.
So when they are in vocational school maybe they can learn about Bitcoin in class but that is also for those who are interested if they are not interested maybe they play a lot or even run away from school.

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

As much as we like to educate our kids to learn crypto, there is also a threat about their growth in relating to reality and social life.

The way to connect to people these days is just diffirent from how older generations do it. Studies shows we need to limit their screen time and social media exposure. But allowing them to learn crypto will also need them to focus on screen. Its hard to balance this already when they learn P2E games.
