Mmhh!! When I read these things I think, our parents have taught us the basic management of our money badly, the truth is that no, in my case they taught me saving, not spending on unnecessary things, projecting the use of money correctly and protecting it. None of that came through the classical way of teaching.
Bitcoin arrives because the system is corrupt, we must make a change of mentality in adult people, bitcoin gives us an individual alternative so that as groups we can achieve better social and economic development.
Those who teach always want to start their idea by focusing on bitcoin when what they have to do is talk about what exists and demonstrate that the current system that survives in Fiat does not work and when that young man asks and that it can be better, he just has to say one thing... Bitcoin.

We can say that a bitcoin wallet is like a piggy bank but then what's next? A bitcoin wallet is not enough without bitcoins but the problem is that bitcoins are not physical like a fiat money that they can hold and insert directly in their piggy banks but bitcoin is online.
This is the hard part here I believe, if how can they get a bitcoin and how can they send the bitcoins to their bitcoin wallet because their minds are too young to handle this kind of information but I like the effort and the enthusiasm that that you are showing there however I think it would be better to wait for them to grow or for their minds to be more mature, so that it will be more easier for us to teach and for them to learn btc.

I am a teacher by profession and think of this interesting action plan to teach the concept of Bitcoin to our primary kids (10-11) in their early stages.
Interesting way to get kids closer to bitcoin learning by introducing them to bitcoin wallet rather than the concept of ‘piggy bank’.
It would be easy for them to correlate to bitcoin as a new type of digital money.
We parent then find it easy to teach them the concept of bitcoin and decentralization in a simpler way with the help of realistic examples.
Once they understand, they can start collecting Bitcoin all by themselves at the permissible age by doing tasks or work they would realize its potential.
This would be a start to teaching kids the power of decentralization and accumulation which will increase its value over the time and will also help parents in inculcating the habit of managing good financial behavior and being financially independent at an early age.

This is interesting! I never thought about it as I am not a teacher. In my opinion this is not a good idea as you need first parents permission and then only could explain it to the kids. I think you need to first check with them and then decide how you need to introduce Bitcoin. It is still a long journey you can think of different ideas as a teacher.
I agree, OP should consult with parents before implementing this idea. 10-11 years old is the age when they are taken care of and raised by their families, they still can't decide for themselves. This age in my opinion is not suitable to introduce bitcoin or any investment channel, this is the time when children learn the basics of life and basic learning programs. It would be more appropriate if bitcoin were to be included in the high school curriculum.

This will be possible futurely when decent crypto online games to earn money becomes a reality. I'm sure kids will love playing, while the smartest ones will save the rewards they receive for the adulthood, with the assistance and guidance of their parents, teachers and masters. I see no problem on this concept, because kids will be learning since an early age how to manage their finances, to be responsible and aware about the reality that can be really harsh if you don't manage every aspects of your life, especially the economical one, properly.This would be a start to teaching kids the power of decentralization and accumulation which will increase its value over the time and will also help parents in inculcating the habit of managing good financial behavior and being financially independent at an early age.
In the past there were nice games for kids, where they could have earned satoshis of bitcoin and have some fun at same time, however, with google adsense ban on crypto sites, these games didn't have how to continue alive, because they have lost the source of income (ads).

This may be a good effort, but you also need to tell them that this is only a choice, not an obligation that must be done. Moreover they are also still under their parents, so it will also depend on how parents will allow them or not. Interesting way to get kids closer to bitcoin learning by introducing them to bitcoin wallet rather than the concept of ‘piggy bank’.
Tell Bitcoin in general is actually good and not worng. But if we are suggesting to invest or collect Bitcoin instead of piggy bank, well, I am not sure about this because we seems like promsing them with some guarantee. WHile crypto is voilatile and risky and they may not be ready with that.
Its prices are volatile and those who have had these assets for more than 3 years have a chance to make money because bitcoin has a history of rewarding patience and perseverance.
Second, while the future is uncertain, new possibilities are clearly emerging in the bitcoin area. We can't predict it for sure, but there's a chance that bitcoin will play a larger role in the future. An investment in bitcoin is a wager which will not vanish. (And, thus far, Bitcoin has resisted regulation, and media criticism admirably).

However, given the great volatility and other risks, such as the lack of crypto rules and regulations, it is also critical to ensure that child is aware of the safety concerns.
Yes that could be part of their learning but you can prioritize on what should they learn first. The focus should probably be on the experience and then security. It's important that they learn the basic process before telling them about investment related stuffs.However, given the great volatility and other risks, such as the lack of crypto rules and regulations, it is also critical to ensure that child is aware of the safety concerns.
Bitcoin and investment-related stuff must be separated, if Bitcoin only likes how it works, how the transaction works, balance, etc. will be really complex.

From the cons and pros, the dos and the don'ts, all of them should be absorbed into their mind. Because dealing with BTC is a very risky part, especially investment, you will never know where the price goes either it will up or down.

Explaining to someone about the basics or introducing something which they havent been heard of is something really that hard to believe on but be sure when you do make out some explanation
then stick out with the basics for them to easily understand.Dont focus on investment opportunity or chances because people would most likely ending up on having
those money making expectations.

Kids around the age of 10 or 11 should find it easy to understand opening bank accounts in today's generation. Some of them may even have it already. I think that's better start than using piggy bank analogy since the process is done electronically. They also know about downloading apps for their social media and they shouldn't have a problem downloading bitcoin wallets on their mobile.
Thank you for taking the time to read and appreciate the thought behind it.children who can grasp the concept of decentralization and bitcoin at a young age will have an easier time adopting bitcoin and following up with digital currency in the future.

learning to value the money handed to them as they study from grade school to high school. economics will be a good subject for them to learn first.
We can always integrate Bitcoin while teaching economics to these kids. It is way better to make them understand Bitcoin is like money.
Introducing a digital wallet can be possible, and I think it's more accurate than a piggy bank, but from my experience with kids this age (I worked as a school teacher as well), they get bored and distracted fast unless they perceive it as a game. Do you have positive experience of keeping their focus on the matter, of keeping them engaged when discussing (practicing?) digital wallets?
My school subject with them was logic, and I didn't introduce Bitcoin, but I think I would do it via ciphers (there are various tasks for kids that involve deciphering information, and from my experience kids like it). Giving them tasks with different principles, and then explaining that there are such tasks that take so much effort to solve that it would take a couple of hundreds of years to crack a pass phrase.

True that, teaching Kids in this age range is challenging because they are more focused on entertainment than having financial independence. So the challenging task would be how to keep their interest on the new subject matter called Bitcoin.
Hello, teacher.
You work as a teacher, you should teach students according to the curriculum and subjects at school, Bitcoin is digital currency, not good, teach and introduce children in school too early with money, what they need is knowledge, about school subject matter, and don't mix them with digital currency.

I think there is no harm in integrating Bitcoin concept on the curriculum but it should be done carefully not to disrupt the learnings of these kids or deviate from the intended subject matters(curriculum).

which will increase its value over the time and will also help parents in inculcating the habit of managing good financial behavior and being financially independent at an early age.
We shouldn't be teaching this, because it isn't exactly true. We could teach that Bitcoin is deflationary by design, but that doesn't mean it'll keep increasing in value, since it depends on the demand for it. Although, I don't think that's something that children necessarily need to learn. There's far more important things for children to learn than money, they've got their entire lives to think, and learn about money. It would be more appropriate in my mind to teach them the very fundamentals, but don't go too much into depth, which to be honest fiat is better for that since it's less complex. When they become teenagers, that's when they can look at what inflation/deflation is, and all of that mumbo jumbo. May 11, 2022, 05:00:34 PM

It's not quite good, at that age they should be guided by their parents.And also, educating them about Bitcoin is a good idea but I think it's also in storing Bitcoin, and mobile wallets aren't a perfect place to hold Bitcoin, it should always be on a hardware wallet.
I like the OP's plan, sounds good and interesting but I think, it's good if for educational purposes only, understand the basic information on this technology and how it will work, and its usage on it. That's it and there's no financial investment involved.
IMO, it should be 18 years old or above is the right way to teach them and introduce Bitcoin, 10 or 11 isn't the right age, they're still young at that age.

I am a teacher by profession and think of this interesting action plan to teach the concept of Bitcoin to our primary kids (10-11) in their early stages.
If I was a kid in primary school, this is how I would love to learn about Bitcoin. Start first with colourful visualizations and illustrations about Bitcoin. They say a picture tells a thousand words. These visualizations and illustrations may come in a hardcopy or softcopy format. Kids love colourful pictures and this is were you'd pique my interest. Remember, first impression matters.If you should just make use of words to teach them, some of them would even forget it right at this point, but by using an illustration, and them looking at the pictures, it would be something that would stick to their head and they would be able to remember it every time.
I think the activity - BITCOINS LIKE GOOD DEEDS could help kids have a concrete understanding of decentralization and bitcoin.
Bitcoin is like the gold stars children get for good deeds in the class. Let’s say the teacher makes one kid in charge of keeping a tally in her personal notebook of how many gold stars each student has.
Others in class grow uncomfortable with this…is she giving herself more gold stars? She was absent the day I got my gold star, was it recorded? What if she loses that notebook in the schoolyard?
So, You all decide to change the system from keeping records by one person (centralized) to everyone (decentralized).
Everyone takes out their notebooks and copies down her account of the class’ gold stars. From now on EVERYONE in the class writes down when someone gets a gold star.
Now everyone has their own record of truth and no one can cheat and give themselves more gold stars because when their amount is compared to what everyone else has recorded then it will be proven as a faulty star.
This is the principle behind bitcoin, it is an archive of actions that is spread across thousands of computers so that it is near impossible to tamper with the information.

First of all when a kid get the bitcoin only if their parents holds bitcoin and wallet then only we can talk about parent giving Bitcoin to their kids to save them on their own wallet instead of piggy bank concept.
Then bitcoin should be accessible like buy and sell for the minors but now most of the exchange doesn't allow them to do.

This is pretty cool to hear. I'm curious which subject exactly do you teach? I'm guessing perhaps finance? I don't think I ever had a finance class in high school to be honest, and I think it's an absolute shame. What you're doing here is something all students should learn, finance basics, as well as decentralized cryptocurrencies/bitcoin. Schools are so often focused on too many things kids will never retain or use in the "real world"..this is something different. Well done.
May 10, 2022, 07:40:02 PM
As for the kids, honestly, they are hard to educate about bitcoins except for a few of them who have already learned about a few things about cryptocurrencies. Originally they are only interested in playing games and if they were engaged in playing NFT games then the task is easy for us because they already have an idea of what we are talking about. But if they have knowledge about it then you need to start from scratch and find some logical explanations that will digest by their little minds.

People can learn about Bitcoin in different ways.For example, if someone comes to me to learn about Bitcoin, then I give him a good knowledge about Bitcoin.I think the best approach would be if the school taught something about this bitcoin.If boys are introduced to this from an early age, then one day people will know better about Bitcoin.They will either learn about Bitcoin as Out Knowledge so they will be able to move forward in the future.
Depends on what the curriculum would really be teaching on whether they would be emphasizing its cons or would be into its pros or in a balanced manner.No matter what angle we do see then its reallygood to have that early engagement or learning about bitcoin or cryptocurrencies on a young age but of course it would vary on how it would be teach up.
Lets just hope that institutions like schools/universities would really be teaching the right way.

This would be a start to teaching kids the power of decentralization and accumulation which will increase its value over the time and will also help parents in inculcating the habit of managing good financial behavior and being financially independent at an early age.
I think you can only stick on what curriculum you are teaching on unless government will allow or insert this information to education side. I understand that this is needed to be discuss early on new generation because digitalization is new thing in future and they should be financially literate before going on something very risky at the first place.
Hopefully we can see this added on school in future since this give best knowledge about investments and technology to young people.

I am a teacher by profession and think of this interesting action plan to teach the concept of Bitcoin to our primary kids (10-11) in their early stages.
Hello, teacher.You work as a teacher, you should teach students according to the curriculum and subjects at school, Bitcoin is digital currency, not good, teach and introduce children in school too early with money, what they need is knowledge, about school subject matter, and don't mix them with digital currency.
Today is sophisticated with existing technology, the younger generation in general they are familiar with Bitcoin or crypto, without being taught at school they already know it, it's a fact, I think, teaching them professionally about general school knowledge, automatically they will easily get to know Bitcoin in the future.
That's right, the OP should do a good job of the role and duties of a teacher first. Children need to be nurtured, cared for and learned many things to have a good life later not just taught to earn money.
10-11 years old is probably quite early to teach them about bitcoin or how to collect bitcoins, educating kids early on how to collect bitcoin will affect their learning process. I really don't like this idea.

Kids around the age of 10 or 11 should find it easy to understand opening bank accounts in today's generation. Some of them may even have it already. I think that's better start than using piggy bank analogy since the process is done electronically. They also know about downloading apps for their social media and they shouldn't have a problem downloading bitcoin wallets on their mobile.
It's not quite good, at that age they should be guided by their parents.And also, educating them about Bitcoin is a good idea but I think it's also in storing Bitcoin, and mobile wallets aren't a perfect place to hold Bitcoin, it should always be on a hardware wallet.
I like the OP's plan, sounds good and interesting but I think, it's good if for educational purposes only, understand the basic information on this technology and how it will work, and its usage on it. That's it and there's no financial investment involved.
IMO, it should be 18 years old or above is the right way to teach them and introduce Bitcoin, 10 or 11 isn't the right age, they're still young at that age.

Interesting way to get kids closer to bitcoin learning by introducing them to bitcoin wallet rather than the concept of ‘piggy bank’.
It would be easy for them to correlate to bitcoin as a new type of digital money.
I will not forbid you to teach something about Bitcoin. However, as far as I know about learning in schools, everything has been arranged, and a learning implementation plan has been mutually agreed upon in the elementary school education curriculum. Where a teacher already has a learning plan according to the instructions listed. Regardless of the way you teach, it may be quite difficult if in the teaching and learning process you do not apply the curriculum.Interesting way to get kids closer to bitcoin learning by introducing them to bitcoin wallet rather than the concept of ‘piggy bank’.

able to take good grasps which basically means that you would really need to have that patience on making them really learn up even with the very basic.
Its true that better to teach up bitcoin wallet and dont really make it as a concept of piggy bank but well its still fits on that area but of course
there should really be some emphasis.

If I was a kid in primary school, this is how I would love to learn about Bitcoin. Start first with colourful visualizations and illustrations about Bitcoin. They say a picture tells a thousand words. These visualizations and illustrations may come in a hardcopy or softcopy format. Kids love colourful pictures and this is were you'd pique my interest. Remember, first impression matters.If you should just make use of words to teach them, some of them would even forget it right at this point, but by using an illustration, and them looking at the pictures, it would be something that would stick to their head and they would be able to remember it every time.

Wanting to inculcate that into them young kids is a nice thought from you Op. You should do your possible best to make it understable for them at all cost. Construction of the Alphabets into Bitcoin related worda won't be nice as they can start reciting in the classroom, also as a singable poem to be recited at home and in school, this will be the first guide to them as juvilines. I have a little nephew I have been trying too school! Hopefully schools can get to add this up in the school curriculum. With time though!

its been hundreds of years of bank notes
its been 50 years of debit/credit cards
no primary school teaches kids the benefits of minimum wage or the risks of debt. (economics)
at most the curriculum teaches them 'if they have $1 and an apple is $0.57 how much change will they get.'
its more of a math lesson. not a economics lesson.
unless you can find a way to actually make bitcoin a worthy curriculum lesson. you are just wasting time teaching them something they wont see, touch, need for 10 more years.
what you should be doing is using some of your salary or a class resource budget to purchase 0.00xbtc.
and instead of rewarding kids with shiny gold stars. reward them with Xsats. which they can convert into games/books/pencils at the end of each semester by using you as the 'shop keeper'
this atleast gives them a demonstration of earning/saving/spending

Nice one good teacher but first of all, make sure the school that employed you is aware of your plan so you don't lose your job in that process. I will suggest that you teach them the concept of Bitcoin after school hours maybe you set up an extra moral lesson just to teach them Bitcoin.Yeah. It is not clear to me that the director and the board, or the parents, will welcome the measure. Either he lives in a place with very open-minded and tech-friendly people, like Silicon Valley, or he could run into a problem.

I think it's easier to explain what Bitcoin is to children than to "closed-headed" adults. Normally, the thinking of adults and the way they learn about new things is by association with old things, with what they have been through and know. When the goal is to explain something new, past load sometimes plays a counter-productive role.
I think that to really explain to children, we can slowly work the concepts, use social networks, make metaphors that - in my experience - they understand very well. I feel like cryptocurrencies are the currency of this generation, of digital natives, so it's very easy for them to 'accept' the concepts.

learning to value the money handed to them as they study from grade school to high school. economics will be a good subject for them to learn first.
as much as possible i want my kid to also learn BTC, but i wouldn't want him to be financially independent right when he is still a kid because this will have an impact on them. kids today are very different than the ones from the 90s. today kids are more rebellious.

Once they understand these tokens, they can start collecting different types of digital currency all by themselves,
What do you mean "collecting"? Are you suggesting they do tasks or offer services in exchange for digital currencies?Your topic title highlights bitcoin, but the posts content is suggesting introducing kids to a wide range of coins and tokens, which in my opinion would be a bad idea.
By collecting I mean Bitcoin which I have edited now. But, the collection of different coins phase hac meant here that they do not have the liberty to choose as it depends on their parents
You can start impacting healthy financial knowledge in children from an early age. That's the concept of the book 'Rich Dad; Poor Dad'. There is a limit to what they can understand at a young age, so you need to take an extra effort to learn teaching methods suitable for different ages if you really want to impact useful knowledge.
It depends again! I am not referring to a baby here which should be understood. But, I did edit it for everyone to understand the age group.

Different techniques will be applicable to different kids, some will still prefer the traditional piggy banks as they are more into physical money, but at a bit older age when they already gasp the knowledge of bitcoin or understands what their parents saying into it they might as well get interested. I have experienced savings thru doing chores at home that is rewarded by my parents and save it in piggy banks. In the future I plan to put up a own bitcoin wallet for my child than putting savings in bank. It will be better to hold crypto than invest now or keep in banks.
