How do you plan to introduce your children to Bitcoin? More importantly what is your long term plan for passing down the wealth to the next gen?

Do you plan to make them their own cold storage wallets and start depositing coins onto this instead of say finding a college savings account etc? Or have a diverse mix in many of these baskets?

I keep thinking about setting them up for success but I am much too early right now my kids are very young and they wouldn’t begin to even understand Bitcoin for quite a while.

But I am curious because I know I should be doing so much more to prepare them for what is to come, hopefully a very well positioned future and inheritance that I can give them.

Sometimes I feel that I am doing them a disservice by contributing to a 529 savings plan as opposed to their own Bitcoin storage accounts.

Perhaps I should open their own Roth IRA accounts and just contribute to that account and direct the funding to a Bitcoin ETF so I can ensure that they will have had early exposure to Bitcoin and ensure that they all have their own accounts. Sure it’s not the same as pure Bitcoin it’s paper Bitcoin but at least the exposure is there.

I still think that passing down the wealth for your heirs with crypto will prove to be very problematic. It’s surely something that could be unevenly distributed & deviated from the wishes of the will since there are no real safeguards in place to ensure each child / beneficiary gets what has been set aside for them, right? I think this will be more of a long term solution that will come down the line, the real issue here is that having such safeguards in place could very well compromise the intent of Bitcoin in the first place. These answers I believe would be achieved through custodial methods, or how else could one achieve this goal??



Not gonna particularly introduce them to bitcoin of crypto for that matter cause we never really know whether bitcoin nad crypto will stand the tests of time even though we’re kind of on track when it comes to whether bitcoin will succeed or not. But whatever

I think what I will introduce to them primarily is the concept of saving money, as well as making your money work for you through investments and other real great options that they can explore.saving money so they can have wuick cash to grab as well as contingencies in situations where they would need a lump sum of cash to work with, and investments to provide them with a reliable and consistent income stream.

Again, wouldn’t have to be crypto or bitcoin for that matter. Just the basic concept of investing as a whole.

How do you plan to introduce your children to Bitcoin? More importantly what is your long term plan for passing down the wealth to the next gen?

I just give all the information about crypto the good one of course to my children and how to get it for free and how to withdraw it etc. and you know what I probably and have a high chance to give my crypto to my children when I passed away.

Do you plan to make them their own cold storage wallets and start depositing coins onto this instead of say finding a college savings account etc? Or have a diverse mix in many of these baskets?

Like a bank account Im gonna had a coldwallet for saving that my family had accessed to it and can see the balance for security Im going to use a multi-sig wallet so alteast need 2 approval before made any transaction

Overall the idea of Bitcoin for your children & future wealth distribution is very good and all crypto parent should implement it

We all wish our child a bright future. As far as I know the people who bought bitcoin in the beginning own a lot of dollars today. Now they are able to provide a better life for their children. I think those who buy bitcoins now will also be able to provide a better life for their children in the future.

We future generation are very Small so no such plan. It should definitely be our plan to hand down bitcoins to children in the future. By investing by investing so people may have problems in the future so there should be a plan in advance and they will manage the next of course the children can do. From the beginning when you raise a child he will have enough experience with Bitcoin so he can easily catch up with Bitcoin instead of you so when your child reaches the appropriate age you should introduce him to Bitcoin so that he can manage yours well. But keeping in mind that Bitcoin is a risky era, we must make all our decisions when investing in Bitcoin, just as we invest in Bitcoin with a long-term plan and check the market.
When we becomes parents, we must make a plan for our future, especially for our children. We can not lets them without any preparation because they will not be ready with what they will do in the future. If we can starts to have investment from now and teach our children all things necessary, they will have a chance to survive in the future and even they can develops more than us. With starting to investing for our children future, we prepare their future better than us and we can also teach them to do what we did to their children. Bitcoin investment is a good thing for them but we must tells them that Bitcoin investment have its risks so we must teach them how to manages the risks. So that can helps them to use Bitcoin as something that can change their life better in the future.
Listen, the best bargain is ensuring our children's future. And starting early, demonstrating to children the value of wise financial decisions, is quite important. Now, Bitcoin is flashy, the planet is humming, and yes, it might be huge. But its not a sure thing. We gotta teach our kids that.

It goes beyond mere financial gain. Its about wisdom. Its about understanding how the world works. The market swings both upward and downward. Its like life itself. Not only the sunny days; we also have to equip our children for the storms. Teach children how to manage risk, make wise decisions, and that will be a lesson they carry always. Its a lesson for life.

Hey you know what you're right, history has taught us time and time again how things can change very quickly. As flashy and cool as bitcoin is we have to prepare them for the hard times to your point. The good times AND THE BAD. Life lessons are the hardest to teach simply because they take a life long to learn!!!! A lot of times people have to learn the hard way but if we are good parents and teach our children to listen and watch for signs and how to react they can be more prepared during these hard times. Hopefully most of their days are sunny tho!!!

I agree with you so that is why we must ensure that we can works from now on for our children's future. We can use many things to have something that will benefits our children in the future so they can use that and continue what we do. We must manages a wise decision for our children because we don't wants to see our children can not survive for their life. Teaching our children about many things will helps them to have an understanding to survive when they grow up so they will not face any difficulty.

We can teach them to knows about financial so they can manage their finance better than us. We will be proud if they can have a better life from us and still respect us as their parents. Having a wealth without respect their parents will be useless because they can not use their wealth for a good things.

I think the future generation would know Bitcoin as they know of money. There might not even be a need to teach them because they will learn it anyway. You cannot not learn it. Decades from now, Bitcoin is probably a very popular and widely accepted alternative currency.
That’s true sometimes our kids even know more than what we do no matter how much that might be painful to say for parents and adults. They are the generation with so much access to the internet so it should not come as a surprise if they manage to know about crypto even at a young age.

Anyway, I guess it's enough for me to prepare a bright future for my children. Whether I'm preparing Bitcoin for them or real estate assets or a business or stocks doesn't matter much. What matters more than anything else is that I'm doing my part to the best of my abilities to make sure they have a good life.
Personally I would want to pass down whatever investments I have on to my children but first and foremost I should make sure that I have already built a life of security for my children. I don’t want to pass down my investments to them for the purpose of making us rich. I want to pass it down to them for the purpose of knowledge and further development. No pressure at all.

You're wise to consider Bitcoin for your kids' future. Yes, it has great promise. Good to hear you're considering cold storage versus a 529. We need forward-thinking like that. Diversification matters. Even with Bitcoin, dont put all your eggs in one basket. Mix it up. Buy gold and Bitcoin ETFs. Put some Bitcoin in cold storage too.

Many worry about passing on this riches, which is understandable. Dont worry too much. We'll find solutions shortly from the brightest minds. Although Bitcoin is revolutionary, they'll figure out way to obey your wishes. Start now. Your kids will get Bitcoin eventually. They'll be ahead when they do. The goal is to educate kids financial independence and give them a head start in a fast-changing world. Winners do that. They win by adapting and learning.

I agree with that, it's best not to focus on putting all your eggs in one basket.  Planning Bitcoin for the long term is quite promising, especially if you have the desire to pass on the assets we own to our children.  However, we also have to think about the assets we store in crypto which are quite vulnerable and easily stolen by irresponsible individuals.  therefore applying Bitcoin and gold as long-term investment assets will be much better for planning the distribution of wealth that will be passed on to our children in the future

Call me soon, lets chat about this brotha!  One thing that stands out here, I'm not sure opening an IRA for them makes any sense right now.  A 529 makes more sense as it's the cadillac of educational savings plans and it's not just for college savings anymore, but have opened up to HS level (about time).  There are some draw-backs, but I think it's imperative that if a child has the opportunity to go to college free of charge, they should do so in most all scenarios.  The whole "college is a waste of money" theme people like to talk about is utter bullshit.  But that's a different story for another day. 

As for safeguards and succession for passing along bitcoin to your heirs- I wrote a thread about this back in 2019.  Like anything establish a will at minimum and perhaps a trust - https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/establishing-a-will-with-collectibles-in-mind-5134350

i don't make a special plan to introduce bitcoin to my child, maybe what i will do later is introduce it in the usual way and if he is interested in it then he can learn it and inherit the knowledge and assets that i have. because i am not the type of parent who forces their will on their child that they must like/inherit what i have, if from the beginning i see that my child does not like it, then i will not force him to learn more about bitcoin. but if he likes it and wants to learn, then he is free to ask what he wants to know about bitcoin and he might inherit the assets that i have.

and also if i see that he only wastes money, and does not care about financial management, then maybe i will not let him inherit my bitcoin and maybe i will make someone else who understands it better to handle it, because my assets are too valuable if they fall into the hands of ungrateful people.
There's the right time for everything and this is where you would really be seeing whether it's right time or not because it would be pointless on making explanation if they don't know on what they are listening or simply not that mature enough.As for speaking about my wife then I would definitely be explain everything but we do know that not all things would be absorbed easily and on the moment that they can't still be able to understand then it would be ideal that you do set instructions and go solo with your crypto holdings.

As for wealth distribution then it wouldnt really be just that focusing on crypto or one business but rather you would be focusing into tons as much as possible, although not all does have the capital then stick into things on which you do able to make money or profit and gradually making up progress if you do have plans on achieving such target.

I have a plan for my children in time coming and I have to create a new wallet and back it up with a device where the phase code or private key will be saved for a long period of time, and buy few alt-coins, including Bitcoin and hold for them, especially alt-coins that has already established in the cryptocurrency market that we keep existing for next 15 to years to come.
We all certainly have good plans for children in the future so that they can use the assets that we have collected from now on and we must first give them an understanding of this investment so that they can make good use of the assets that we will give them, maintaining properly lock the wallet in which we store Bitcoin assets, of course this is very important so that we can still access them when we have collected these assets and if you choose some other type of altcoin, of course this will be very good if you have sufficient funds to be able to hold it for the long term. For a long time, of course this will give you benefits from holding assets that you believe in, especially Bitcoin.

Investing Bitcoin for your children is the best thing parents can do for them, while they are small, it is best you do that so as the children grows up, their investment also grows with them so that in future they will not have any financial issues or dependent on anyone, this is where your investment for Long term comes in using your cold storage wallet,and you put the child through when the time comes. Involving the child at these tender age might be risky to his/her growth and exposure to money, because there is time for everything,life is in stages,the best you could do is to keep saving for the child until he gets of age which he can handle issues and take care of himself/herself.

In terms of passing down the wealth is not an issue, the same measure you used in acquiring the wealth that will be introduced to them when you think is necessary,through your WILL or whatever means you wish to use, they should be informed .

I advise you to do the traditional way of keeping up the private keys and nothing beats better than writing it off on a piece of paper, a cardboard. While the plan sounds good but if the long term is what you're planning for, although cardboards and papers might crumple over the period of time but it's much better than keeping it on a device.

You'll never know what might happen for the next years to come. But as you've said, this is a back up so please make sure that you've got strong back ups where you'd write your private keys because we have to anticipate the unexpected thing to come. And with that, there can be a lot of things that might come and someone might steal that device compared to a paper or card board, no one gets interested with that for stealing unless that thief knows what's written on it.

I also have the desire to introduce Bitcoin to my child and pass on to him my knowledge of it - that would probably be a very good thing when you see how the child you are raising knows Bitcoin and understands it, maybe he is even more knowledgeable than me.
It’s not a bad idea to actually introduce Bitcoin to your kids but to do that successfully, you have to ensure you break it down to a level they could understand, even having to use their level of institution level to teach this. Don’t forget, this is financial education and kids aren’t that matured about finances and so, if you become more practical about it, you’ll find your kids to follow but hey, don’t get disappointed at the outcome if they don’t.

But that's just my wish, because he's still small right now and it's not appropriate to introduce Bitcoin at his current age, maybe later when he's older and understands technology better I'll consider introducing Bitcoin to him. If he likes it maybe I'll teach him and consider investing Bitcoin specifically for his future investments.
Children can learn about Bitcoin gradually but it should not be something that need to be compulsory. Learning Bitcoin is all about interest because there are a lot of people that have been shown the way to learn about Bitcoin which the can utilize the knowledge to make money for themselves. There are lot of opportunities in the crypto market which can make us make lots of money without doing physical jobs. Cryptocurrency has been a great eye opener for many of us that are in crypto now and anyone that are serious can make money even without any investment.

I wish I had the opportunity to be introduced to Bitcoin as a teenager maybe I would've started making plans of saving in BTC earlier and would've probably have saved a lot. However I don't think it's a bad idea to save for the future of your kids, especially when it involves saving in Bitcoin which is probably the future of money. There's this method my parents used in saving for me and my kid bro, they opened a bank account for us and deposited 10-20% of their income to the account, and it helped me during my college days, I think I'll emulate such method and instead of saving in bank for my kids I'll open a cold wallet and save some percentage of my income in the wallet, then gradually teach them about Bitcoin and it's concepts then give them access to the wallet when they're of age (18+).
