Should children be educated about Bitcoin?

[pieppiep]

In my opinion, it is good for children to be given formal education first. Because in the world of crypto, not only interest is needed but also knowledge and mature analysis. Because it will be more dangerous if children participate in the world of crypto and don't have the knowledge.
they not focusing on formal learning which should come first.
and in crypto it is more about business, not studying. It's good to study the formal lessons taught at school and enter the world of crypto when your knowledge is sufficient.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Just like I have said before, it is important for this current generation to learn about Bitcoin seeing that it is part of the evolution of technology, but introducing the financial side of it is never ideal. What did Satoshi titled the Bitcoin white paper? A peer to peer electronic cash system. Children especially from age 3 and above are already familiar with fiat and what it is used for, so introducing Bitcoin to them as another form of money is something they can easily grab. It will even make more sense when you explain to them "why Bitcoin (electronic cash) is better than the fiat they see everyday".

There are easy ways to relate things to a child that won't cause confusion or give them a reason to decline. Every child that is born into this world accepts the use of fiat without even contemplating about it, so I don't think Bitcoin should be an exception.

Alot of people that we have today that start crypto doesn't do proper research about scams in crypto. Now assuming crypto is been thought and some of the dangers involved, growing up it will be a stigma on their head and when they grow up and someone share a scam crypto investment with them, they can use their basic knowledge of what they have learn.

There is no knowledge that is a waste, if you don't need it for investment, you can need to share another person. Imagine been among public where one person is lying for others about crypto, you can use your knowledge to fact check them and even give the right knowledge to the public.

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

I think it’s best that they learn about it if they are interested in it. Asking them if they are willing to understand what is the best way to have money and how you could save that would accrue a lot of money in terms of interest (with the price of the market). What makes it even more important to have the knowledge of having limited supply as well.

Exactly that's the key Idea here "INTEREST" That particular video I so much love it because it not only explains how bitcoin works, rather it also explains the criteria money has to meet as well as the concept of how inflation gradually became a world problem. It's important to give kids basic general knowledge and definitely  economics is a part of it too. It's then nice to assist them dive deeper to areas they understand and show much interest in.
Some kids love the concept of Economics others may love crypto and tech stuff some may like science and discovery and the earlier you work with their interests the faster they tend to learn.

Bitcoin knowledge is free and anyone is deserving of it including children. In as much as is not a knowledge that corrupts, children are entitled to have it. The question should be to what extent and of what purpose should bitcoin be taught children.

• To what extent: Should be to let them know that bitcoin is a digital and decentralized currency while pointing out major advantages of bitcoin.
• To what purpose:  Teaching them to be knowledgeable about bitcoin and not to invest in it.

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

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

Children under the age of 17 will certainly never be suitable to become a trader, their emotions and thoughts are not fully mature... everything has its stages, my friend.. to be able to become an expert in the world of cryptocurrency does not have to go through trading, because actually a career in the world of cryptocurrency is very broad and has high opportunities.

If I had biological children, I would be more concerned about the stages of learning the world of finance including cryptocurrency for my children later... but it is also adjusted to their age. I can't rush to teach something that is beyond the child's ability, it will only add to his stress burden.

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