What age is ideal to let my kids into crypto

[bayu7adi]

There is no limits or age bracket for children. To me provided they can read and write to know about Bitcoin then fine the better for them to grow more faster with the know of bitcon in them, some may see that it's too early to teach children about Bitcoin without knowing that it's a financial knowledge which they aren't thought in school otherwise the graduates and numbers of people who has passed through could be been extremely wealthy..

I can't imagine that, explaining the mechanism of blockchain working to a 14 year old is too early for most kids... Instead of giving useless knowledge, maybe it's better to teach the basics of finance first, like saving or showing the pros and cons of debt, or how to make simple decisions for investment or consumption...

It is better to be patient, and not to put too much pressure on children to force knowledge that is beyond their control... it can have a bad impact and cause children to tend to be stressed... seeing the child's potential first is a wise thing, such as seeing the child's talents, what they like and what they are good at so that they can be developed, rather than judging all children, because not all children are Bitcoin investors...

Just teach them whenever you are comfortable telling them to. There is no actual time and age when you should be telling your kids to learn about crypto. Teach them the basics about it and they will remember that. Soon, they will ask questions that you would be happy to answer and that is very important for you to determine it.

I agree with what you are saying, just teach them basic things about Bitcoin or cryptocurrency as long as they are related to them. It is not necessary to teach them to trade immediately, of course not for that matter. They should just know how it is used and can help us.

Of course, with simple things that they see and hear repeatedly, it is guaranteed that in the end they will have the curiosity to ask us, all interest starts with curiosity
and asking questions.

Also it is important not to forget, that today, children better focus on education and skills that they can use or be useful after they graduate from university or school. Crypto - useful knowledge, but besides investing where could a child use it? Trading? CEX dont allow underage to use it. Use crypto wallet to make payments - places where it is possible to pay with crypto are still too limited. Coding, creating project, developing? I dont think that many kids will be so much interesting in that at young age. Make NFT - probably, but interest to pixeled graphic editor will end soon.

It seems very limited, but actually to be able to start understanding cryptocurrency we can start from simple things first... yes, such as p2p transactions with a trial period, creating a wallet, securing a wallet, avoiding fraud and so on.... that is very necessary before the child is really released to pursue a career in the cryptocurrency world directly...
Teaching him directly to invest or trade, that is obviously a very big risk... because it is at a higher level, and is not a basic element.

The p2p transaction is what worries me most. Because it is a blockchain, there is no way back, no cancel button if transaction was send. p2p - this means communication and trades with a stranger. For a child, that a red flag from my point of view. You can never tell what is on strangers mind. If investing (which I would not recommend for a child to do until he is about to be a teenager or 18) that is something more or less what can be checked for legitimacy, then p2p is like gambling. Impossible to monitor kid 24/7 and help with advices, when he can lose all money in one click.

Yeah, as far as investment goes, there are games that I played when I was a little, like monopoly of millionaires game. It's like buying a house and then selling it later for profits or if you need money.

Same concept in Bitcoin investment, maybe if you have this kind of board game and introduce it to them, they might have a concept of it and perhaps when they grow up, they will apply it.

I feel age 12 isn’t too young. We already have several kids thriving in the space some KOLs are even that young. But it also depends on the kid and whether they’re genuinely interested in blockchain, DeFi, and all that.

This forum has the same problem. When threads have reached their usefulness before signature spammers take over, either the OPs or admin should lock them in order to encourage others to create more topics.

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?

If I have to teach kids about crypto, I would start teaching them in younger age, as teaching them after 15th might not get their attention as I have seen after that age kids already starts to show interest in different things so if they liked the idea of crypto at that age it would be much better.

Teaching them after 18th can still be good but if you really want them to learn about blockchain and crypto then do it when you think they can do it don't look at numbers (of age).

Basing up into the technology that we do have today or something that do talks about accessibility then it wont be shocking that kids would be that easily adapt at the time or moment that they've been exposed on which means that there's that huge potential that they might be showing off some interest into crypto on which if you do saw up those kind of signs then it will be that up to you on how you do made out such introduction. We do know that kids are easy to adapt on whatever the things that they've been that seeing and as a parent and you are wanting for them to learn about cryptocurrencies then its not a bad thing for you to make out those guidance on what it is all about. You are the ones that do make ou such introduction and all the way for them to learn the opportunity but at least always tell them about the risks involved.

Don't mind but you use a lot of "that" it really confusing to understand the statement. I just understand few words and used my sense to understand or you can say guess, what you said.

Speaking of kids, you are right we are the ones introducing them so we have to make sure we are teaching them right and giving them the full knowledge about risks and rewards for there better understanding, as twisting words or fabricating information just to make them adopt crypto is not right.

I also fully comprehend that children’s curiosity in new things is fine but it is equally important that it should be well monitored. When they begin to show slight signs of interest in issues such as crypto or any other digital technologies involved in financial transactions, you are free to begin a casual talk about how that money is created in the current world. This doesn’t mean you have to talk about investment or market risks from the first meeting but just exposing the people to something new such as what is digital transactions or what is blockchain. Lastly, bear in mind that children are copies of what they see around them, they will learn how you handle the gadgets. If you explain to them that it implies some responsibility, and they are not playing it just as a game, they will become more wise or rather, more attentive to the digital environment.

I agree with this statement because board games such as Monopoly can offer some insight on investing mainly regarding purchase and selling of property with an aim of making a profit. Of course there are various differences between the outside world and the game but the basic concept makes a person come to know as to how the transaction process and management of assets take place in the real world. Just like the Bitcoin that enables one to purchase various products and services with an intention of making a profit, monopoly makes us develop a strategy on the right time to make our move. If kids had lessons close to such games during their age of indoctrination, then, they might be in a better position to identify investment opportunities tomorrow, whether it be in a more abstract world as cryptocurrency.

[bitbit97]

Do you really think that game of Monopoly could teach lots of useful? Game is oriented on luck and dice. There is no insight investing in this game, as you see whole board, can check everything, and usually see fund and property of other players. It does not teach much about investing, because if you get your figure on a property, you either always buy it or pay other. And from my experience, I dont remember game of Monopoly being always fun. Only one player gets fun, other disappointment of a loss. I dont think that with Monopoly, a child could learn about investing and proper fund management, as those money isnt earned but only given.

Teaching kids about Bitcoin is definitely a good idea. But I think it depends on the age of the kids. If a kid is very young, meaning if you teach them now, they might forget ‍after a moment, then it's better to teach them later. Kids who have the ability to remember and are at a certain age level should be taught about Bitcoin so that they can use that learning and it will be useful in the future.

Most of the kids in this era spend their time on tiktok and youtube so they don't like to hear this kind of history. Many also waste their time on games so the history of crypto doesn't interest them. But i think when they show interest in money then they will willingly research crypto. Like when i was younger, I wasn't interested in crypto because my family used to pay me so i didn't need extra money. People find their own jobs when they need money.
