Topic: Don't Force Your Children to Learn Bitcoin - page 11. (Read 1952 times)

I think for now we need to convey an understanding of finances first, because I also understand that they are still in the learning stage as you conveyed and when the time comes and they are old enough I don't think it's a problem. we introduce that BTC is a digital currency that will one day be used and mass adopted in the future.

I think the op has a good point, but not just about Bitcoin. Forcing children to learn anything is generally a way to form hate toward the subject and towards the parents. My parents didn't care about by marks as school and never forced me to do any homework or study hard at school; I graduated from school and from university with honours, top of my class in both cases.
Children should be given the opportunities to learn new things and get a good knowledge of how the world works (which includes the basics of economics, and with that - Bitcoin), should be encouraged to learn. But forcing is wrong, and Bitcoin isn't something that one must know and love to have a good life anyway.

Totally agree with you that no one can be forced to adopt a field. Every person is free to choose which field he wants to go in the future and he should be encouraged in whatever field he is interested in.I have often seen people guide their children in their studies by looking at their hobbies and interests.

If someone wants to become a doctor, don't try to force him to become an engineer. I have also seen people who prioritize their interests and hobbies more than the interests and hobbies of children.

Educating children about Bitcoin is good, but don't force them if they aren't interested. Children can be encouraged but not forced into Bitcoin. I think all parents should be aware that their children should always be encouraged to make their own decisions. All parents should always make decisions based on the interests of their children.

Parents play a crucial role in guiding their children's education and development, but it is important not to force them into specific areas of interest, such as learning about Bitcoin or any other specific topic. While it's valuable to expose children to different subjects and encourage curiosity, forcing them into a specific field may lead to disinterest or resistance. Instead, it is beneficial to foster a well-rounded education that allows children to explore their own passions and interests naturally. By providing a supportive and inclusive environment, parents can help their children develop a love for learning and empower them to make their own choices when it comes to educational pursuits.

Everyone's hobbies are of course different, as well as in the business world, of course everyone has their own way of doing business, some of them become farmers, some like to trade and so on, but all of them also have one goal, namely to make a profit.

we as btc investors, of course, many invest because we want to get profits and also enjoy the hobby of working as btc investors.

so in this case it is clear that we should not force someone or our own children to follow our will so let the child himself make the choice. so we as parents don't force our children to learn btc unless he wants to learn and is interested in btc.

I constantly tell myself that I will not compel my children in the future to do what I want, especially if they are over the age of 12. Most of them have desires in their lives. It feels different when you can do what you want rather than being compelled to.
Consider this: How could you trust a nurse to care for your child's injury if he despises being a nurse?
I understand that it is sensible to teach our children about Bitcoin nowadays because it is one of the best ways to gain money in the future such as investing, trading, payments and many more. However, forcing people to do something they don't want is not a good idea.

My parents wanted me to become a lawyer, it's the same dream every parents want for their children in my country, it's either a doctor or a lawyer lol, and as I grow up, I slowly leave that path behind, and they are not happy about it.

I got my eye on my father's business, a farmer, and I started following him to his farm lands and help him cultivate the lands, he tried to push me away from the farming business but I was so stubborn.

It got to a point that he wanted to disown me for wanting to be like him, later a friend of his told him how lucky my father was, for having a son that want to follow his footsteps, my fathers friend use his children as an example, he said that all his children don't want to take over his family business, and they have all traveled abroad.

My father later let me, and he gave me some parts of his lands, it was later that I knew about Bitcoin and I started buying Bitcoin years ago, I was already making enough money before I knew Bitcoin but I plan to retire soon with Bitcoin and crypto, I hope my dream comes to life before 2026.

There is no point forcing your children to take over from where you left off, if Bitcoin is all you are going to do with your life, your children might have their own ways, and those ways might be better for them than Bitcoin.

I completely agree with what you said. There is nothing wrong with teaching bitcoin to children and even encouraging, because the benefits that bitcoin brings to us are undeniable. But we need to teach them intelligently, I mean, introduce bitcoin only when they are old enough and aware enough about life, about finance. Teaching bitcoin to 5-year-olds and 3-year-olds is a real waste of time and overwhelming for them. It will even backfire on them if we force them too much.

as good parents, of course we don't force our children to learn about bitcoin, because everyone's thinking is of course different.

but I don't think parents are wrong if they have an interest in teaching their children to learn about bitcoin as long as it's in a good way and there's no coercion.

so basically introducing btc to children is very necessary because we as parents want to see their children grow to be successful people, and by teaching children to invest in btc
means we provide a good opportunity for the future of children.
but in this case, of course it's up to the child whether to accept btc or not and we as parents just tell it.

it is true what you said that we should not force our children to invest in btc because everyone has different desires and opinions.

If you don't teach properly, other's will impose their ways and thoughts in a thousand different manners and those probably won't be positive or good hearted, I don't see why anyone wouldn't teach their kids how crypto works.

Your example is flawed as bitcoin is not a career or a profession, the basics of the economic system, how money was created and how it evolved can be taught in a single day, not teaching to your kids about it will be a disservice to them, now this does not mean that you have to force them to use bitcoin, but it is important to teach them the basics of how the world of money works so they can avoid the pitfalls in which billions of people have fallen on the past.

I do not agree that Mental Cognitive Ability that you have said is perfect when a person entering adolescence Because at this phase, their brain is still growing, this is triggered from the lobus frontalis and limbic system. Entering the adolescence phase their the lobus frontalis and limbic system still do not maximum at performance. But those performance is better than the children so teach them bitcoin when they are teen-age is good enough. 

You were just making sense from the title to when you started the body of the post. But you went off track when you started mentioning destiny and studying law in your instances.
Bitcoin is not a course of study. Incase you have forgotten, bitcoin is a currency whose price fluctuates and some people makes money through bitcoin because of the price fluctuations.

It is absolutely fine to teach your child about bitcoin if the investment aspect of it is not involved. But since one can lose money in Bitcoin, it will be fine to teach a child the investment aspect of it when they are able to earn and spend their own money.

Whether it is bitcoin or whatever, everything need to be taught at the right age. Nowadays this have changed alot. In the past the parents might've agonised to have some sort of education, for some reason they weren't able to achieve it. Later the parents try to make it happen through their kids. This was the trend of 80's and now things have got better and kids learn what they want. The education system needs to be good, so that they'll learn about everything happening around the world. Rather than concentrating on which is the right time to give education on specific things, it is good to make the curriculum to suit well to the changing scenario.

Well, bitcoin is not destiny but only a currency. In order to earn money, the children will first get an education and later chose a profession to earn money through services or business. Do not think that by knowing about Bitcoin, it can make you earn. It is the skills that will help in earning. Later you may convert that earnings in bitcoin, or invest in bitcoin or earn directly in bitcoin, that's a separate thing.

As far as the learning is concerned, you can teach children about Bitcoin, help them make a wallet, and send them some satoshis in their wallet. This will increase their interest in knowing more about Bitcoin and how to use them.

Cryptocurrency, or bitcoin is not the only path to rich, success, there are many others. People investing in bitcoin and crypto to get rich are people with no direction, no other way to get rich, and they clinging to crypto, but they treat it like a god to help them solve every problem in this world. I also invest in bitcoin and seek wealth, but if given the opportunity, I will let my children discover all in this world because there is so much good out there. Teaching kids bitcoin is pointless and there is no guarantee they will have a better life.

In academics and religious sciences there is also an explanation that parents have the right to provide clothing, food, boards and education, but what parents cannot provide is their ambition for their children. Because it has taken away the rights of children. Especially if the age of the child doesn't quite understand when we talk about bitcoin and manage their finances. Wait until they are adults and ready to be invited to discuss bitcoin or investing.

Parents' choices are good, sure to make their children the best of the best. However, sometimes these choices are not accompanied by thoughts or are concerned with personal rights compared to the wishes of their children, who currently still like to draw.

Children also need to choose their way of life, including what their choices will be in the future. However, sometimes parents are too worried about their child's choices that are not in line with the parents' wishes and this is very natural, but back to the point above, give him time to understand.

The most important thing now, support children and provide opportunities for them to choose their own future path and their parents to support children's choices and tell them if they feel lacking.

And this rule does not apply to BTC learning only, because we should not force our or other children to do anything against their will. It's their right (i am not talking about moral ones, because sometimes we have to force them to make them follow moral way instead of immorality). I do agree with your point, as children's mind is pure of evils and hunger for money and other items of the world all they want is chocolate, a smartphone, games, YT, etc. They do not need to be forced to learn about BTC in an early age when they are so little to understand their rights.

We could teach them about BTC's existence but what good it will bring, let's say a KID "X" is young enough to understand the money, the world, and how things work. And X is in need of money and a trader "Y" taught him about trading, any other activity related to BTC. The first hurdle for the kid is going to get the capital to invest or trade in BTC. This would encourage him to follow the immoral path which will not be right for him. Our main focus should be to teach them what is good and what is not. Even in the world of digital finance.

Thats Right, it is best to let them make their choices, we as parents only need to direct them or just introduce what Bitcoin is without burdening them.
If they are adults and understand then they will choose what they think is suitable for their lives.

As in the title of this thread, Don't Force Children to Learn Bitcoin, because that will only make them stay away from Bitcoin.

The Mental Cognitive Ability will be perfect when they grow up or have entered adolescence so it is a very good age to know about anything like Bitcoin Knowledge. Especially if they learn how to invest in crypto. There will be a lot of knowledge that they get.

If the children do not reach maturity and the appropriate age so that they can understand Bitcoin and its modern technology, then it will be complicated for your children to understand what you are saying as if you are telling them about the logarithm, so no one should force his children to teach them something that does not suit their age, abilities, and hobbies. Without a doubt, children will be able to understand Bitcoin at some later time in the future to learn Bitcoin and listen to you after their mental and cognitive abilities increase, and I am almost sure that after your children grow in age and learn from you about Bitcoin and its benefits in changing the financial economy and its profitable investments, they will be interested in buying and acquiring books that help them learn about Bitcoin and its basics and knowing all its aspects that they don't know.
