Should children be educated about Bitcoin?

[JISAN]

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

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

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

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

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

There are times when we can introduce bitcoin more intensely, and if it is at the age of children who still enjoy the world of play, forcing is not the best way, we may be able to introduce it, but it is done slowly and gradually, without coercion or anything like that.

If we force them when they are not ready, then what might happen is that they will not be interested because it is considered to interfere with their playtime. A good approach must be taken.

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

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

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

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

I think children should be taught about Bitcoin but after 16 to 18 years. Because educating kids about Bitcoin at a young age can do a lot of harm to their education. Childhood is the first chapter of children's education. If children can be educated about Bitcoin at this time, children will develop an addiction to Bitcoin. When they develop an addiction to Bitcoin in their mind, they will follow various means to acquire Bitcoin. Some may participate in gambling or some may follow other avenues to earn, thereby harming children's education. I've been noticing a lot of young kids working on Telegram Tap Tap campaigns lately in my area. I can see the way they are starting to work and their education is suffering a lot. I guess from here that if Bitcoin can educate children at a young age, the children must be suffering from education. If children can be educated about Bitcoin after the age of 18 then it will be perfect because then the children will understand their pros and cons. So I'm against bitcoin education for kids, I support 16 to 18 year olds.

A 16 years old is no longer a child, but a teenager, there is a clear difference between being a child and a teenager, and what the subject of this thread says is if it's OK to educate children about bitcoin, children are from 3 to 12 years old, at this age, I would say it's not OK, bitcoin education requires a brain that is well developed, at the age of 3 to 12, children should be allowed to focus on their studies, thats the most important thing at that time.

Then from 13 years of age, the child has been a teenager, and now can start Learn other things that is outside his or her education in school.
So, as from the age of 13 up, I believe it's ok to start bringing up bitcoin into our conversation with them, this is to arouse their curiosity, then we can start teaching them at the age of (let's say) 14 and 15, then as from the age of 16, we can make provisions for them to start learning on their own, and also assist them in making their first trade and so on.

          -       Maybe I'm about 10 years old; I'll start familiarizing him with bitcoin or altcoins; I'll just explain the basics of bitcoin usage to him. But I will not explain anything to him about trading or indicators. But I can start to explain to him the meaning of bitcoin in a simple way.

I will show him how bitcoin or cryptocurrency helps in our lives, and I will make sure that before my son graduates from high school he knows a lot about the bitcoin or crypto industry, especially in the world of trading.

For a 10 years old, basic interaction won't do the work alone. The child might need more of a real life practical scenerio. Or something that they often enjoy watching (cartoon). I think I have got a very good solution. I can't really find the link to downloading a complete series, but I want you to search for Tuttletwins on YouTube, or use their channel link below..

It's actually a cartoon that teaches so much about crypto in general. I really doubt if it's met for kids alone, because I enjoyed it as well, and I believe you will.

So what you should probably do is to check out their channel first, then find ways to get the complete series. It should probably be available on few streaming platforms, but I'm not sure, since the government won't like it due to the too many revealing things that it contains.

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

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

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

         -      As I mentioned, I will explain to my son in a simple way that I know if he can understand, and that is just the usages until possible. I will not tell him what is written in its meaning on Google; that is what I will say. Of course, that is not what I will explain to him.

I will use a different term to explain to my son, because if he is familiar with where it is used and how it is used, my son will understand it easily for sure.

Children should be educated with basic knowledge. There is no way that we teach them with advanced level of crypto knowledge. Trading, investment, technical analysis, or the like aren't for children. It is for the people who are mature enough, it should be 18+/20+ only. Children won't understand it, it just wastes time to learn them about those knowledge. Yea, we must adjust the level of knowledge to the age of children.

[summonerrk]

I agree that it is better not to teach children bitcoin.
Firstly, let them get a normal education first - this is the basis for the future. Secondly, cryptocurrencies are not toys, but risky investments. Children may not understand how to manage money properly. It is better to teach them financial literacy and responsibility.
