What age is ideal to let my kids into crypto

[debra]

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.
