Should children be educated about Bitcoin?

[nakmantu99]

I feel it's too early to add Bitcoin into school curriculum, let it build some more history and it's time will come naturally.

Anyhow, it's age of Internet, so they should discover about it sooner or later on their own.

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

What could be the first step is to let them first be interested in this crypto, after they are interested it will be easier for us to provide education, of course we must still adjust their age and also their ability to win what we mean.

As time goes by and if they have a very strong interest, then they will find out for themselves especially if they are already teenagers, all we can do is supervise them.

If we do not give our children basic knowledge about crypto, they will not be interested. Maybe in their teens they will start to be interested in crypto, if I introduce crypto to them early on so that when they start to be teenagers they have the desire and interest to know more about crypto.

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

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

Yes, children education is the solid foundation of tomorrow leadership, and with early leaning of a new technology like the cryptocurrency, it will greatly increase the children's knowledge when they grow older. I think that teaching children cryptocurrency may not necessarily require age limit, it is even better to educate the children at that infant ages as long as they can express themselves.
Cryptocurrency is completely a computer based knowledge and if the children can learn computer at the early stage of their live, there shouldn't be age limit on children's cryptocurrency education.

Yes children can only learn basic things of education in school while Bitcoin investment will be included in finance which is not easy for children to learn well at an early stage but if they are regularly experiencing the things related to Bitcoin then they can learn well and can become profitable investors in future.

Nothing is hard but it is also not possible for children to learn only about cryptocurrency because education of school is also very important which cannot be neglected so I think we should give value to both of them. One thing to remember is that if children get the knowledge about Bitcoin investment that it can give them money then maybe they leave their education just for making money which is not a good thing.

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

Hmm, I dont mind such comments where people say Every thing in the near future will be crypto, and on what basis 12 is a good age to learn about the financial markets and all the stress handling in the crypto market. Please no offense from my side I'm just curious how are you thinking sir that 12 is a decent age to learn about such things? No doubt early education can help a person to unleash the full potential what is gonna change, at the end of the life. I think 12 is the age to make memories with those pure friends you have in your childhood.

Yes, that is the whole point. However, some people oppose the idea of letting kids know about Bitcoin. I think 12 years is good enough to start learning about Bitcoin, as children learn a lot more subjects at the same time. As I said in my previous post, if a child can learn HTML, Binary, and other things from his ICT book while he is only in 6th or 7th grade at the age of 12, what is limiting him to knowing about Bitcoin?

People are making it look impossible, which it is not. You are not teaching him how to code Bitcoin or how 51% of attacks work. So, there is nothing wrong with teaching them the basic idea of Bitcoin, which will help them later.

It depends on how old the child is so that we can teach them about crypto, again this requires adjustments based on their age. It's not just giving them lessons about crypto that can make them interested, but there are many things that can be done.

For example, now there are many types of games that can produce crypto, if they like playing games, then we can recommend it to them. Or we play in front of them, usually children are always interested in what adults do.

I've read a lot of threads about whether children should be exposed to things like Bitcoin and at what age, and opinions are divided on this, probably because people in different cultures raise their children differently. Although I personally advocated the position that children should be allowed to enjoy their childhood as long as possible, somehow it seems to me that at some point they should be introduced to the fact that Bitcoin exists and how it works.

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

just watched it pretty nice video.

Yeah kids should get some exposure to it. nice post I gave you a karma.

Yes now a days Cryptocurrency being popular. Huge people involving in cryptocurrency market. I think future economic world will control cryptocurrency. Even huge people taking main earning source / main profession. So we should encourage our children to crypto.

I think it will be very helpful for our children for his practical life. So I think from now our children to be a educated about Crypto. So they get proper knowledge about Crypto. I think in our education system can add crypto lesson. It will be helpful for our children, they will educated about crypto.

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

Yeap that is reason I have said that teaching or educated them about the bitcoin it doesn't mean that they need to have access or they need to have investment.
There is lots of things to understood even the investment on the bitcoin, And those can also took time to learning.
And I think if they are familiar with those things in their early age then it is must be confirm they will take the right decision what we take in about old age about investment on bitcoin or the others things. Even we can teach them the basics of investment and the trade in bitcoin but using with the demo accounts on trading.

Right, not everyone wants to know what Bitcoin is. But when there is someone who really appreciates new knowledge that can potentially improve their economic condition, then we are very lucky and happy to see the knowledge we provide successfully achieved.

Basically, we all must have enough experience and knowledge to be able to make the right decision. If we do not have knowledge about trading, it will make it difficult for us to decide what is good and what is bad. Investing is actually very easy. Only people who cannot control their patience will sometimes feel that investing in cryptocurrency, especially Bitcoin, is not profitable.

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

I also mean the same thing. But adding the investment option also because it is also important to know like we know bitcoin is always best for long-term.  And I don't find anything wrong if we teach them also the how to invest or when to invest or when not to be invest.

Like we can teach them about the cycle of bitcoin like what is halving , how it's working and how market take bull run for it. And again I want to mention that I am saying that teaching them not to make investment.

If only giving knowledge to my child, I don't think it hurts, so they know about the crypto market, bitcoin character and the 4 -year -old Bitcoin cycle and technology techniques using the crypto project project. Teaching does not mean that it requires them to learn investment or trading, but giving knowledge at least they understand the world of crypto.
