Anytime that this conversation comes up , I will.always say, let kids be kids. We should think that they would miss anything by not learning about Bitcoin at a young age. There is more to their life and development than Bitcoin. Therefore I would not agree to anyone forcing Bitcoin knowledge upon them when they should be taking, music lessons, dance classes, football classes. The only Exception is if the kid show repeated interest in knowing about Bitcoin.
You have also a good point here. However, there's nothing wrong if we will start little by little educating them about bitcoin so that they will also be aware that bitcoin exists other than fiat. Once we have seen their interest and the eagerness to get to know more about bitcoin, then it will be easier for them to absorb and understand the essence of Bitcoin in our lives.

As Davidvicterson said, let children be children, don't destroy them because of our desires and not theirs. If you want to teach them bit by bit about bitcoin, you need to at least wait until they are old enough, not when they are 10 years old and don't even know what fiat money is or what inflation is...
We need to know that there are many important things in our world, it doesn't just revolve around bitcoin. Many people still don't know about bitcoin and are still leading a rich and happy life, bitcoin is not everything.

@Davidvictorson, I don't know if you are married or not but I like your thinking and I believe you will be a good father because you understand your child's wishes. I also have a family and I know what my children want so I never liked the idea of ​​teaching bitcoin to children.

When the child is off-age, as the parent who is interested in bitcoin, you can just call them together, even if it's just a single child you have. You can give them a child-to-parent kind of talk and share your basic knowledge about bitcoin with the child.
 
How they respond and the interest the child picks up from the teaching will determine if you should go further or not. I think we are now in an era where children are more exposed and know how to make choices on things they want even before they reach the age of 18.
Sharing knowledge about Bitcoin with children will of course be very good, but we also need to pay attention to them whether they have an interest in learning about this or not and if they really have a curiosity about this, of course we can first explain to them about it. the basics of Bitcoin until they reach adulthood, then we can explain Bitcoin in detail to them, but if they are not yet interested in this, it would be better for us not to force them to learn about Bitcoin earlier and we can continue to do things. what we should do to prepare our future better and we will be able to teach our children after they grow up.

Future generations will surely adopt Bitcoin today or tomorrow. But those who are able to exploit this advantage first will be ahead of the rest. I will definitely teach Bitcoin to the younger ones in the family who are old enough to learn. If they learn about Bitcoin from their families, they will be more interested in learning about it from outside as well. On the one hand, as the younger ones will be ahead in increasing their technological knowledge, they will also be comfortable in the financial aspect. Teaching them Bitcoin at a young age means building a hard foundation for it.

The knowledge should not be forced but it should be out of willingness. I do not care how old my child might be but if he/she is interested in learning and understanding Bitcoin I will teach the child. Just the same way I won't force the knowledge on them it is the same way anyone who has the potential and wants to learn I won't deny being the mentor.

One way or the other I still wish at least one of my children would be willing to learn about Bitcoin.
It is very good when we reach people around us about Bitcoin and how to invest and not only the children. Learning is very important as we are growing and it is good people around us are also impacted gradually. By the time we starts teaching people around us how to invest in Bitcoin and have their own crypto portfolio, it is going to be a good approach when everyone is making money from the market.

 Cryptocurrency is the order of the new jet season and very soon the normal fiat currency would not be in existence again because the government would be looking for ways to save money and nut to be printing money just for distribution when their is no need for it.
There is this term I have head of before. It says invite your family and friends so that they will not miss the participation and that Bitcoin is a rare gem. Just by saying this to your friends, colleague,s and other family members that Bitcoin is a rare gem and it is worth investing in now. Will eventually cha nge their mindset and they will be inquisitive to know more about Bitcoin and how it works. Like I said it should be forced it should be out of their own will. Our job is to introduce it to them because we care about them and want them to succeed along side with us. We may regret if we let only ourselves to be successful in Bitcoin.

It is good to enlighten your children about Bitcoin,we are in a digital world so enlightening your children about Bitcoin is just like explaining Bitcoin as an electronic cash and also an asset that can be invested for the long term with returns.In my country children are eager to know about Bitcoin,even the smallest child in my neighborhood know about Bitcoin.If you feel like educating your children about Bitcoin,it is actually a good move,you are their dad and you know what is best for them and what isn't.It is left for your children to select what investment they're comfortable with it mustn't be Bitcoin,in essence some might pick interest while some will love to know.

I think the best profit can be made by buying and holding bitcoins rather than keeping them in the bank. Moreover, if Bitcoin is saved for children in the future and once you estimate how much that savings will increase after 2030, it will be easy to understand how much wiser it is to hold Bitcoin than to keep money in the bank. So I decided that if I was going to save any wealth for my son or daughter for the future, it would definitely be in Bitcoin.
Of course, investing in Bitcoin is smarter than keeping money in the bank. Currently most banks are corrupt. I think you will definitely get more success in future if you invest directly instead of taking ricks during this corruption. People who are experienced in cryptocurrency always love to hold cryptocurrency rather than keep money in bank. If I say from my side I never trust bank and keep money in bank I definitely invested all my money in bitcoin and ethereum and trying to keep it. But I think in future I can definitely earn something good from here which can earn about 100 times more profit than keeping it in bank. But not everyone should take ricks, I think only those who are experienced in cryptocurrency should take such ricks.

Honestly, I would wait until he was probably starting to think about making money, or maybe around 16 years old until I would tell him. To be honest, I'll probably see where his interests and talents lie, if he's interested in technology and business, then I might introduce him. However, it's a good idea to invest in bitcoin little by little for our children in the future, but for now I haven't thought about that and am focusing on developing my business because my finances are still not stable. However, I will probably do that when things are good enough.

You need to teach your children how to make money as well as the importance of money. You cannot wait for your children to start thinking about making money before teaching them because they will always be playful if not properly educated and parents are the best teachers. But I will agree with you if you decide to teach bitcoin and finance to your children when they are 16 years old because that will be the right age to get used to making money and being responsible for yourself and your family. Don't teach them too early like many others because teaching them to make money too early will sometimes be counterproductive and harm their future rather than make them better. In addition, it is also necessary to consider their preferences and forcing them is something we should avoid if they do not like it.

In my opinion, accumulating bitcoins for our children is a good idea but it will depend on our economic conditions and that is not so important. I value teaching my children to be able to make their own money and succeed with their own abilities without depending on anyone, instead of leaving assets to them.

Your plan for this is very wise because I think you have realized that saving money in any bank is a mistake, because the bank will get richer when there are many customers who want to save money with it. Although at this time there may still be many people who don't realize that so they still save large amounts of money in the bank and don't remember to save Bitcoin as good savings for their own future.

I will also make plans that are almost similar to what you said for my future because for me the bank is not a safe enough place to store money. And besides that, everyone who only relies on saving their savings in the form of money will also face inflation which can openly cause the value of money to decrease. So saving savings in the form of Bitcoin should be a pretty good option even though Bitcoin is not a stable coin in price, but there is always an increase in price in each cycle.

I think that’s the most important there, teaching our kids when they are already eager to learn, otherwise teaching them at an early age might only confuse their minds when they still hardly understand about the advantages of bitcoin. Like for my kids, they are still in grade school so I don’t think they’ll definitely understand it if I start introducing bitcoin to them. Maybe I can do that once their minds are quite mature enough, or when they are more concerned already about saving their finances.

Probably for now, I’ll just focus first on my own investment and accumulate more bitcoin for my kids future so that in time, when their interest for bitcoin has grown already, that’s the time I will be serious on opening their minds about bitcoin and how it can be beneficial for them in the future.

Exactly, I know as a parents or soon to be parents we want the best for our children and as we know things that could help them in the future we cant force them into something that they dont want to or doesnt have an interest and one of it is bitcoin or crypto currency, although this things is very helpful and revolutional, if our childrens doesnt have a slight interest as maybe its too complicated to them or they dont simply have interest in earning moneh as they want to enjoy their life, then we cant do anything about that, what we can do is guide them to have a better life, and if they are in a right age to face the complexity of bitcoin and crypto currency then we could slowly introduce that to them and if they show interest then that would be great but if not then we have no other choice but to follow where they want to and where they will excel.
Every parent thinks of doing good things for their children. They always try to do good things as much as they can for their future. But one thing we have to keep in mind is that we should let our children do the work that they are most interested in.  Otherwise, if our children don't like a task and force it on them, they will fail to do it. But now, whose little kids are a little bit more interested in crypto currency. Because they know that there are many opportunities in it-  There are benefits and there is an opportunity to change lives very easily.

That is why I also think I sell all my crypto assets in the future and let my kids decide what they do with their money. Of course, I'll be happy if they continue investing in crypto but I should choose for them to start at the beginning like we did before.
I haven't thought of this but if the time comes and I'm about to die, I might just do this if they don't have an idea on how to hold it. But if they like to hold it on crypto assets then I'll just give them the keys or send it to their wallets. Whichever is comfortable to them, I'd be happy to pass it onto them and that will be one of the legacies that they'll remember when I die. All of the hard work and patience that I've exerted into accumulation, that's all where it is going and hopefully it can make generational wealth.

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 don't think I need to worry much on how I can introduce bitcoin to my kids, I think their is still time for kids to learn about bitcoin. The reason why I wont be too bothered to teach my kids about bitcoin is that bitcoin is different from the fiat currency because of it volatility features.  If I must think about bitcoin to introduce to my children I must first have that sense of them having interest for bitcoin. If I found bitcoin very interesting it doesn't mean I must make my kids to have interest in bitcoin.

I would love my kids when they grow up to see reasons for themselves why they need to use bitcoin, I wouldn't want want just to influence them without them having interest in bitcoin because they may not really take it very serious. If at all kid should get awareness about bitcoin it should be the age when they can make a good decision and have the interest of learning.

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??
It's not necessary to introduce your kids to Bitcoin if they are under 15-16. They won't understand and I think it's too much information and responsibility for a kid to get introduced to Bitcoin. When you introduce them, you have to be sure that they completely understand what it really is and have an idea about how life works and don't believe in fairy tales.

Setting up a cold wallet and regularly depositing Bitcoins is a good idea to collect some wealth for your kids but I wouldn't completely stick with Bitcoin if I sense some bans, regulations or anything that would significantly affect Bitcoin's price and further adoption or development.

I agree with this educational style and Warren Buffet did not let his children knew about his super wealth..
Unfortunately, it's impossible for Warren Buffet's kids to not know who're exactly Warren Buffet is. If he going out with his dad, people will recognize Warren Buffet and ask to take a picture. If he entering school or playgroup, his friends will talk about Warren Buffet, not to mention there are a lot articles talks how rich Warren Buffet is.

Quote
If we give them great fortune, and let them know about this inheritance when they are very young, they will lack of motivation to learn, get an occupation, find job and work as a normal citizen in society.

Educate them, keep our wealth in secret and don't tell them about any level of inheritance in time they only need to focus on learning, shaping their own brain, knowledge and characteristic, discipline. When they are educative, matured enough, we are older enough, we can proceed things about inheritance.
Yeah, this is why most parents ask their kids to live outside when they're already turn 18 years old. It's too force them how to live alone, how to handle anything alone etc.

I do not see anything wrong with teaching a kid how money works and why bitcoin is a superior form of money, after all knowledge about the economy will be way more important and useful during their lives than the majority of other knowledge that could be imparted to them, besides it is not like this knowledge has to be taught in a dry manner, as we could use one of the many board games in which money is an integral part to teach those principles and teach them about bitcoin at the same time while they are having some fun.
To be honest, those kids that have the edge are the ones introduced early on to money matters. At a young age, they learn and understand the importance of money. Not just about earning and keeping it but also in investing it. Do people think that the rich gets richer because they'd just pass on their wealth to their kids easily? I don't think so, they also teach them about money as they grow older.

Teaching to invest and to learn something new about Bitcoin is a good thing while the kids are young. They are on that period where they like to learn new things and discover it as they grow older. While this is a technology and finance combined, that is an interesting thing for them to learn. Well, my retirement and wealth distribution to my kids might not be on scheme but I'd just teach them first about how to keep their wallets safe and how to retrieve wallets through private keys.

No one denies that teaching bitcoin to our children is not good, but we also need to wait until they reach the appropriate age, you cannot teach bitcoin to your children when they are only 4 to 5 years old. At an age where children cannot even perform basic multiplication, division, addition and subtraction and do not understand the importance of money. Teaching bitcoin to children too early will have no effect, and can even ruin their childhood when we deliberately cram them with things they don't need to use yet.
Can any of us know what bitcoin will be like in 10 or 20 years? And is it necessary to educate our children about bitcoin when we still don't know what their world will look like? We don't need to be in such a hurry, let's give our children the best childhood and teach them when they are ready to learn, don't force or impose on them.
