Erik Finley was 12 year when he put $1000 into Bitcoin. In 2011. At a price of $12 a piece.
I am not saying kids should spend $1000 on crypto willy-nilly now, but sometimes they really know what they are doing and the rules to 'protect' them are harmful.
I've already spoken with 1 1/2 exchanges and two lawyers. This kids educational exchange is absolutely possible and legal. I even have a badass name for it..... Trading wheels. There are a few ways it could work. The first way is we build our own platform that is like a mirror to our partner or Trading Wheels accepting Exchange. It would be connected through API so that all the data is up do date. Any trades that happen on the Kids exchange would actually happen on the real exchange just as if the kid was there making the trade himself. The difference is..... The kids exchange is full of hover pop-ups with explanations and most importantly..... The Trading Wheels. Each trade submitted from the kids side would require two signatures. One from the kid. and the other from a parent, teacher, or guardian. This way the kids will never be able to trade blindly or without instruction. Once the parent, teacher, or guardian approves of the kids choice of trade he signs it and allows it to be sent to the order book. This is just a brief summary of a brainstorm session. There are many more details
Ha ha, I like the sound of that kids exchange... Trading Wheels!
Some brokerages have demo accounts, or paper money trading as they call it, but the psychology is totally different when you are trading for real. While an expert trader might use such account for backtesting and trying advanced strategies, for kids a demo account could backfire as it teaches them trading has no consequences. In comparison, the kids exchange you described that is coupled to a live, adult exchange with real trades has a much higher educational value.
I think you shouldn't mention that name in here or you should have the rights of that brand before mentioning it here. It is perfect so any similar project can pry on that.
