Topic: An easy approach to Bitcoin - page 5. (Read 995 times)

it's a good idea to introduce bitcoin to children, but at a very young age it's better to teach them lessons that are more important to them such as mathematics, science, etc. because even if they watch the video, maybe they won't understand anything that is discussed in the video.

maybe when they enter junior high school we can introduce bitcoin to them because at this age they already understand more about the financial system and it is easier for them to learn bitcoin. we can let them learn about bitcoin and how they think about the decentralized financial system offered by bitcoin.

Yeah labeling government as criminals in the video is a good example that explains why I said let children be children because the impression or elusion that will be created in their immature minds will diffuse to seeing the government as something else.
I have seen videos of where children are interviewed by Steve Harvey on the different things but the fact is everything that has been said in this interviews are all about skills or little experiences in education and other stuffs but not in any way about how to make and save money nor how to use finance neither invest or paradigm shifts like Bitcoin. So I will say according to the national president of my country "Let the children breath don't suffocate them with Bitcoin & and Blockchain technology knowledge".

Yeah it quite unfortunate how some parents try to use their children to achieve the dreams they failed to fulfill, if you couldn't make it to be among the first people to invest and profit from Bitcoin does not mean you should in any way impose them on your children by teaching them Bitcoin and Blockchain technology knowledge at tender ages just to justify yourself that they also will be among the first and sharpest kids to know technology.
Thereby causing brain fatigue for this kids by stressing them to know what you didn't know early enough.
When OP said children or kids there about according National Institutes of Health (NIH) the hierarchy of range from Children (1 year through 12 years) Adolescents (13 years through 17 years. They may also be referred to as teenagers depending on the context.) Adults (18 years or older) so the age that is classified as children here can't even think of anything other than play, eat and sleep. lol that shows it quite irrelevant to teach so cumbersome knowledge. 

Yeah, then someone somewhere would be teaching a child below 12yrs about Bitcoin or Blockchain technology as a whole that is so versatile. how the hell do they want them to understand the fuck about Bitcoin when even so many adults don't understand yet. It's quite unfortunate 

Nowadays in my country younger and younger have learning about  E-Wallets meaning that this
 adds even Bitcoin though literally many parents have not presented this to their children but at least we can see that in
very sooner time that they will developed knowledge and eagerness to also have their own , there is a popular E-wallet
 here that can also be used by younger age as long as there is a parent consent so it will be in the next line that they
 will learn and use Bitcoin.

What I also wanted to say that with our help as seniors to let everyone knows about bitcoin ,
 we can spread using our social media account or direct contacting to people closer to us.

And most adult people also don't know how their money works. They're blind as to its system and even its whims and abuses. All they know is that it is the currency because of fiat or government order and that they're spending time, energy, creativity, their entire life for its sake. All the while, it is continuously devalued by the very institution which gave the order.

I think children and everybody else should also be enlightened about the real deal of money. Bitcoin would be more attractive if presented right after.

It does not seem to me there is any harm in teaching kids valuable economic lessons at such an early age, we know very well most people will have to work 30 to 40 years before they retire, if they have any chance to retire at all, so teaching good habits regarding their finances at such an early age is a good thing in my mind.

This way when they grow up they will be able to take better decisions than their peers, begin to save, invest and obtain better results for themselves and their family.

What age of kids are you talking about, dude? Do you think kids will immediately understand blockchain and mining in this industry field? You make me laugh, no offense. If those adults are having a hard time understanding them because they don't get the hang of it right away, how about the kids? The majority of what they want to do is enjoy the life of being children or teenagers.

Do you think that in one night or just a moment, someone will immediately understand this? No one enrolled today in grade 1, then tomorrow in grade 2 immediately. You should have detailed the simple steps for the kids to understand this blockchain and mining, not what you just said here in just one paragraph.

You are right, it would be better for children to enjoy their childhood first so that they don't get bored quickly when they know about Bitcoin well, because children should have the desire to play rather than have an income and they will never think about it. how to earn income because they are still under the responsibility of their parents, if they have the desire to know about Bitcoin of course there is no harm in explaining it to them because this will be very useful for them someday.

The regular information about bitcoin is too complex for some people to handle so it is important that the information is broken down into simple knowledge for some people to be able to comprehend, this video helps with that. Sure that they have been some other videos, but materials are never enough to really simplify what bitcoins are about. If one video does not make sense to someone, another one will.

We’re talking about teenagers right? Cause I don’t think there’s merit to teaching kids about bitcointhis early without letting them know about other financial fundamentals like financial literacy. Yes you teach them about making money but you didn’t teach them how to save and keep it for rainy days? That’s going to be a massive problem in the future my friend.

It’s much better teaching them about the most important stuff first, later down the line upon self-discovery they’d happen upon bitcoin and cryptocurrency for sure, let them have their own adventures and figure shit out on their oen. No knowledge is waste but knowledge without responsibilities is deadly.

I agree, I don't know what age the OP is talking about children but if he was talking about children under 10 I would object too. I am the one with 2 children and I personally witnessed raising them and watching them grow up day by day. Therefore, I feel that teaching bitcoin to children at this age is a waste and useless thing. Let them have a beautiful childhood, don't force or force them to do things they don't like. Bitcoin is just money, an investment, they can learn at any time when they grow up. To become rich, it is not necessary to invest in bitcoin early, and those who do not invest in bitcoin do not necessarily become poor.

Wow SatoPrincess it has been a long while since I saw your posts on this forum nice to actually see you reply here.
Actually the cartoon was quite interesting due to the fact that it still had some humor and funny parts. Teaching kids about Bitcoin is not a bad idea but they simply should not be forced to learn about it.

Before a person can really appreciate Bitcoin, he has to understand how the traditional system works, he has to know that the system is built not to favor him. In other words, he has to understand the money system and know why it's good for him to look for an alternative. The person has to understand the limitations of the traditional money system and how Bitcoin solves most of those limitations and sadly, I don't think kids can understand these. Even a lot of adults in Bitcoin don't understand this and that is why Bitcoin is underutilized to an extent.
Most people only care about the investment side of Bitcoin and that's not the only too good to be true feature of Bitcoin.

As much as I like kids to know about Bitcoin, I feel there are certain knowledge they ought to have before they really grasp the innovation of Bitcoin.

I like how the face of the person playing the creator of Bitcoin in the video was not revealed. I guess that's trying to portray the fact that nobody actually knows who he/they is/are.

It is really good to let children know about Bitcoin but I think making them involved in the Bitcoin economy in such early age makes no sense.  First kids has no capability to finance themselves, they are still reliant to their parents and should be enjoying their child hood.  Let them get interested on Bitcoin industry by themselves, I believe the right time for them to participate or get involved in Bitcoin will come one day but as a kid, let them enjoy being a kid.

I do not support the opinion that Bitcoin is only a topic for adults, if Bitcoin is to become the currency of the future, isn’t it our responsibility to prepare those who own that future for it? Btw I just watched the video and I’m impressed with how they explained the concept of Bitcoin in layman’s terms. Kudos to the creator for making a Bitcoin educational video that’s not boring but contains some humor. So far the reel has 841k views on Facebook, that means it’s going viral. I went through the comment section, and ofcourse there were a bunch of scam accounts promoting one exchange or the other.

As much as this doesn't sound good, but I do agree here. Yes, definitely we can teach our kids about bitcoin or crypto or how to save and invest in general. But at a tender age, let they enjoy their life to the fullest. Who knows, maybe what you instil in their mind will come into fruition someday. But for me, I let my kids know about bitcoin, but not forcing them to learn about it. I want them to grow and set their own goals in life, just saying.

If they decided in their own to go in crypto then good I can mentor them. But if not and they want to purse their own dreams and jobs and what kind of education they want, they I will still support them.

most adult people dont even know how credit cards function behind the plastic. they just learn how to swipe/use it
most adult people dont even know or even understand or even taught about the economics of credit/debt

Now days we don't even need to teach children much of a thing again regarding bitcoin as educational materials have been made readily available on the internet, which they can just run into.

Using their iPad and browsing the internet saves parents stress, and if the children find the information useful, they can walk up to their parent, their older siblings, or anyone close to them to ask for more knowledge and explanation. That way, it will be easier for one to know where they will focus their efforts explaining to them.
 

When I saw this thread, I just knew I had read about something of this nature, which got me engaged in the discussion, but checking the link you provided, I still got convinced the more that there are actually a lot of bitcoin animation videos on this forum because the one you shared is just the first time I came across it, but the first one I saw was also a YouTube video, which I can't seem to find a fine link to that thread again. Maybe I didn't search dipper.

Why do we even teach kids about Bitcoin at the tender age? I don't think this would be a smart move as it would literally divert their mind because it will make them a rebel against the fiat system which. I think this should be taught at higher secondary level education or during graduation. I would say kids mindset might be more aligned towards bitcoin and crypto if we teach them about it and they will not be interested in the fiat system which is equally important in order to sustain.

Rather, we should be teaching them about more real life skills and technical skills to be a successful person.

Many videos like that are existing on the web about introduction to Bitcoin, the basics of it and the tutorials that are simplified and more interesting through animation.
I have watched a few of them and the ones with greater visuals are the ones that catches the attention of the many.
But the more we have like these videos, the better for everyone's reference and resource to know more about Bitcoin.

My bad, I didn’t see the link in the body of the post the first time I went to the thread I thought you were referring to the one at the bottom of the thread cause that one led me to AppleStore to download an app called “Angel Studios” while the one at the top led me to the channel you were referring to, and that’s were the clip the Op shared was cut from.
