What age is ideal to let my kids into crypto

[bettercrypto]

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?

    Involving your kids into crypto at a young age is a very good and opportunistic thing for them particularly. I think it would be of great benefit to your kids as many parents of nowadays especially africa fail to see the potential of introducing their children to the digital world at young ages while their brain are still nurturing.I particularly; i’m a victim of such.
   Anyways; while nurturing and teaching them all about crypto; I doubt if it would be suitable to allow these kids stake these funds or manage real funds at an underage.This is however based in the amount of tryst you have on them to carry out specific tasks.I specifically think that they should be nurtured till 16 or 17 when their brain is developed well to a certain extent on money management.
   I picture this as a great idea as a benefit to both you and your kids.

I don't think I've ever seen a child explaining and making basic ideas about bitcoin or cryptocurrency. I want to do that with my son and it's not unlikely that it will happen to him, though he's still very young right now because he's not even 7 years old.

But the idea you gave me is a good one to educate him about bitcoin or crypto and be an influencer kid on the things we're doing here in the cryptocurrency field.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with trying to mention crypto to children when they are young. The word "crypto" (along with your preferred coin/token) can be as familiar to them as the word "money". Other than that, it is a matter of preference because what could suit you and your particular domestic setting might not be appropriate for another.

Teaching about finance to children under !6 years old is indeed easier than teaching children who are a bit older. because sometimes they have their own thoughts.
learning crypto is better for children who can already control their emotions because if it's just knowledge, it's okay, but if you start practicing investing or trading, this requires good emotional control.

Well, I reckon I'll teach my grandkids about the value of labor and dignity, how the economy and society operate instead of just focusing on finance. Honestly, I wouldn't want my grandkids to be tied down by financial worries from too young an age.

Crypto is just one market in the economy, and I won't push them to participate in this market if they just want to focus on stocks or science. I want to be a storyteller and a guide instead of deciding for them in their lives.

You are thinking about your grandchildren and want to tell them about Bitcoin or Crypto, it means you are already very old. And if you share your experience of knowing and learning and using Crypto at this old age with your grandchildren, then they will be attracted to Crypto very quickly. Because the current generation is very upgraded and everyone is very worried about technology especially Blockchain Ai etc. Brother I support your decision. And you will definitely succeed I believe in it

We can provide basic knowledge about crypto to our children, so that they understand what crypto is and the risks of investing and the benefits of crypto. So that the knowledge received by our children is balanced.
I have also started providing crypto knowledge to my child, because I believe crypto will be useful in the future. My child must not miss out on knowledge about crypto technology.

It is great to teach kids about finance at a young age, not just about crypto or BTC, but finance generally. Doing this will expose them to the financial world and prepare them to handle their finance expertly. If you do this, i am very sure your kids would thank you for it when they come of age.

Just as any other trade i will advice that as the child is growing up he should be introduce into crypto, so that he will grown up with the essential knowledge of crypto and become an expert just before the child finishes his or her high school, hence, it will heard him or her in developing innovative ideas on the betterment of the crypto world. I.e becomes the master of crypto at a very young age.

Yes, it is possible to introduce children to the concept of crypto and this is a good method to teach children on the new world that is more likely to adopt new technology in near future. Considering the speed at which the world is evolving, general knowledge in subjects like blockchain, digital exchanges and decentralisation would definitely place them at an enhanced vantage point. If they are given enough knowledge that they should gain, then they can transform more and be capable of utilising their knowledge to foster even new solutions that will assist in taking the crypto as well as other technologies to new levels.

If done correctly - sure thing, they will profit from it in the long run.

It's about getting the correct thoughts bugging in the heads of those that only start up - they can be easily tempted by many factors that are around in our space, and we should work on these accordingly.

What about "knowledge without practice is useless" kind of thing? I introduce kids to crypto, but when will have opportunity to use that knowledge? You think children will install mobile wallets on their gadgets instead of games? Its a controversial situation if we introduce them to crypto, but since they are not 18yo, they are not allowed to use exchange to buy crypto, as well as world of investment is closed to them (they can only invest through adults assistance). Parents want to give them financial knowledge, however some parents are not happy when their children invest/buy questionable altcoins (such as meme-coins), or children are easier to scam.

            -     You know, you can honestly say that a child is very blessed if their parents are open to bitcoin and cryptocurrency, because we are sure that most crypto enthusiast parents will really teach their children to be familiar with this field that we are in.

And it is strange when a child immediately has knowledge about bitcoin or cryptocurrency. Of course, their parents will teach them for sure in a quick way
that they know they will understand it immediately, a good way.

That's another factor that makes me sure not to teach children who still enjoy games and don't have a desire for financial learning... yes, fraud... even though we have accompanied them for every decision made with our suggestions, but every human being has their own instincts... there are times when some decisions will be taken without the knowledge of the companion, and for some fatal decisions it is clearly very risky...

Therefore, waiting for their thinking to be more mature and ready for any risk in cryptocurrency is also important to consider... don't let us just make it a money-making tool for fraudsters out there...

I think it is better to ask not at what age let kids into crypto, but at what age let teenagers into crypto. Kids - I think they arent ready to understand completely finances, investment and etc. We can tell about it, but they will only blink eyes. Teenagers are more advanced. Specially late school classes, when they have such lessons as basic economics. At that age they at least understand that during purchase and investment they can get tricked and lose money, while kids still see world as rainbow, unicorns, pony, toys and games. But teenagers, they more or less understand how cruel, unfair world can be, that smiling stranger on the street that try to sell you "super profitable altcoins" can be a liar.

Children can start with he learning of crypto right from their early stage in life, as long as they have interest in learning, then we can help them with the required exposure needed to give to them towards learning about what cryptocurrency is, this will also help them towards having a more activeness toward the learning of what crypto is, because the more we go by this, they more they are being exposed on what it is and grow to know more better and do better in cryptocurrency.

The presence of technology at the present has made the crypto-world to be for everyone whether a professional on an investor. This means that children who are into advanced technology and issues of the digital nature can also be introduced to some general aspects of crypto like blockchain, cryptocurrency, etc in an easy manner. It will also make them ready for the future of digital economy and make them gain insight which may make them encourage their minds about the way people transact through the use of technology. Thereby, it is only safe to conclude that if they are given the space to learn, their capability as well as the potential to use and even adapt to these trends might develop at a much faster pace.
