I don’t see how children can be forced to learn Bitcoin though because imo, I think that children are to be taught the superficial part of Bitcoin. It’s not like they’ll be taught trading or be told to pick a career around crypto. Right? I expect that the point of the learning is to tell them the latest tech and everything about it so they know in time and choose to either invest or use it later in life (if they want).
If you don't mandate your children to learn about Bitcoin because of the bigger opportunity they will tend to gain then what are we going to mandate them to do. Cryptocurrency is one of the fast growing financial market and it might surpass even the forex market with time. It will be a good opportunity for them to learn about the Crypto market and how Bitcoin works. It is better for us to get them preparing now that they are young than to wait for when they finally grow old which might look too late for them. The crypto market will keep growing as long as the government does not compromise it with sanctions. 
Topic: Don't Force Your Children to Learn Bitcoin - page 2. (Read 1936 times)
In modern countries, this is not even a topic due to its obvious answer. But in many developing and poor countries, people will try to groom their children into something too early giving them no other choices to discover their inner gifts and skills.
Just today I saw an online friend posting about how young his 16-year-old kid retired into amateur boxing. The kid last month won a silver medal in our yearly national tournament which is already a huge accomplishment. But deep beneath, I can feel that the kid does not want what he is doing. My friend own a boxing gym before and he loves boxing which is why he wanted badly for his kid to become a boxer.
I think it all depends on how the conditions are too because I agree with what you said, for the modern world, the act of forcing children today is indeed starting to be abandoned not only in bitcoin but in any case because there is a right to freedom for everyone so that they cannot impose the will of parents for children but on the other hand things like that also cannot apply everywhere.Just today I saw an online friend posting about how young his 16-year-old kid retired into amateur boxing.

All parents want the best for their children that's for sure even though sometimes imposing the will from the beginning is a thing that is not very good but on the other hand, something like this is still valid on the grounds of wanting to improve the child's life to be more directed so that in this case it depends on the conditions and environment too actually. It is not too good to direct children too hard but on the other hand there are also those who make it good rather than in the end the child has no future and has no purpose because the mindset in developing and underdeveloped countries is always the same so there is nothing wrong with also educating a little harder in order to be a differentiator and to be better than his parents even though this method is a little rough.
There is no benefit of forcing anything on children. They pick things based on their interest. If we force anything like Bitcoin on them, it will be with them for short time but they will leave it later. On the other hand, if they pick something of choice, they will have understanding of it for life.
There is a benefit actually. What about forcing our child to go to school? Just don't let them force doing the bad stuffs. BTC is not bad because we are already benefiting with it, so it's not bad if we force our children to learn it as early as possible.There are benefits if they can learn it early. Don't let them be like us who doubt BTC for a long time and regret learning it late because we already missed a lot of opportunities. We shouldn't let our child decide for them selves. Can't you see, that there are lot's of children who do drugs, getting addicted in video games, and similar negative habits? Obviously they will keep doing these because it gives them a good feeling, but it was still wrong and must be corrected ASAP before it/they completely destroy their lives.

It is never possible to force children to learn about Bitcoin but in countries where Bitcoin is legal, children can be taught about Bitcoin from an elementary level. But that education should be from minimum primary label but this education cannot be forcibly included in the syllabus. Children can only be taught about Bitcoin if they can receive this education properly.
A child should not be overly pressured to learn about anything, not just Bitcoin. A child should be allowed to grow well in his childhood. Attempting to teach a child to read textbooks right from birth can hamper his healthy growth. There is a time for everything, as parents it is their responsibility to do the right thing at the right time. As the children gradually grow up, they need to be taught about specific subjects according to their age. As a parent you are involved with Bitcoin so you should teach your children about Bitcoin from childhood, it may be wrong because if you introduce Bitcoin to your child in childhood, something exceptional can happen to him. If you absolutely must teach your child about Bitcoin, try to teach him about Bitcoin when he learns to understand it or when it won't be a bad influence on him, not before.

I believe, it also can be just about talking to your child on the topic, related to your own interests. Children tend to pay more attention and stay interested whin it comes to something more attachable to them, not pure theory. And when they see that their parents are found of something, they are more likely to be interested in this too, because they are generally like to observe someone`s enthusiasm and passion. Especially when this someone is very close and dear.
You are right about this, I think when they reach a certain age they will find bitcoin on their own the same way we are fascinated by bitcoin. So we don't need to force any child to learn about bitcoin too early, sometimes it will be counterproductive and make them fear bitcoin more than they actually like it.
I saw some people suggesting that children should be forced to learn bitcoin as early as possible, but I wanted to ask those people. Do they have children, are they married or not, or are they single and giving advice they have never experienced before? Because if someone has children, they will understand what it takes to raise a child.

However we still need to monitor what children learn and how they learn. I would not be a happy father if my children learn that cryptocurrencies primary goal is to be an untraced payment for something illegal or not for their age. I would be very disappointed if my children would find out first that bitcoin is used to buy drugs or something on darkmarket, and only with time find out that this is for example is a great investment opportunity or becoming a "blockchain IT guy" is actually a pretty good and well paid job. I would not force children to learn anything, but I think it would be good if I would be the first person to give them first impression about crypto.
Of course, we can introduce bitcoin to our children and should keep a close eye on them so they don't get scammed or use it for illegal purposes.
But what I want to say here is that they need to reach the right age to introduce bitcoin and finance. We should not force them to learn, and we should not force them when they are too young to need to know about bitcoin.
Honestly, not just with bitcoin but also with the financial markets. I am a latecomer compared to my friends but my current profit is better than my group mates. Investing early is also important, but investing early does not guarantee your results will be the best. To be successful, you need to combine many factors, not just be the first to join and become the most successful.
That being said, I have to disagree with your claim that early investment has no consequences. Although theres no assurance of success for early entrants, a more astute investor can be developed by encouraging a younger generation of investors to grasp market dynamics. Well, your tardiness in joining but excellent earnings highlight the significance of strategic ability, but doesnt that particular skill need underlying understanding developed over time?
Teaching children on bitcoin is like the latest threads in the forum. It is good to tell our children about bitcoin in their tender ages but destiny is not something you force someone to achieve. Just like the general saying that "You can take a horse to the river but you cannot force it to drink the water". That's, it is good to tell your children about bitcoin but you cannot force him or her to learn bitcoin if it is not in the mind of the child and if that is not the child's calling in life.
Just like another instant again, it is a Ghanaian Play called "Sons and Daughters by Joe De Graft". The father wanted his daughter to study law while the some for medicine but the boy wanted to study Fine and Applied Arts while the girl wanted to study Theatre Arts but the father refused. There was a day the boy's friend drew Ghanaian President and the picture was bought with a very big amounts of money which was about millions and it was broadcasted on National TV and Radio Stations and the father heard about the news and he called his children and advised them to study what they like.
I think that play is a very big lesson to everyone in the contemporary world. So if your children are not interested to learn bitcoin please don't force them. Everyone has their own destiny.

As in this sense, if a person want to learn I mean anyone, maybe someone is our brother, our other relatives etc., we have to tell them about the bitcoin benefits but one things we should always keep in mind that for this purpose we ourselves have to be much knowledgeable about the bitcoin otherwise our discussion about the crypto or even bitcoin would be half and half knowledge can't give a person full benefits.
As regarding the matter of children you are right, because we have to give our children a freedom about his career whether he want to come in the crypto space or whether he wants some another business sides to carry with. That should be a person own's choice, we don't have to drag him/her just towards the crypto due to our own choice, this things would be better for a time but there will be many disadvantages of it as we would see in the coming future.

Of course we should wait until our kids get interested in Bitcoin. But on the other hand if they pass a certain time but do not express interest in Bitcoin then it should be our duty to convince them. But forcing it on someone is not a good decision
Though I broadly agree with you, I would not state we have to convince them about the virtues or benefits of using Bitcoin if they themselves do not ask about it or show lack of interest. I believe at some stage it should be brought to the attention of children but after that they should be left to decide on whether they are even remotely interested. It is also about how the people of various countries and cultures view the situation about guiding their children to certain paths.In my opinion, crypto currency is the next evolution of currency. Learning about these things is part of the basic financial knowledge that everyone should have.
I like the way you managed to capture that

"The number one problem in today's generation and economy is the lack of financial literacy."I don't think we need to force them to study crypto currency, but it should be part of financial literacy. We should teach them, not force them to become traders. Trading is not everyone's call, especially in the crypto market. It's like every other skill that we learned, but it's solely your responsibility, whether it's a profit or a loss. In my opinion, crypto currency is the next evolution of currency. Learning about these things is part of the basic financial knowledge that everyone should have.
That should be the standard in every single situation where parents are teaching their children. Telling/explaining about a particular topic (in this case crypto or Bitcoin) without forcing them and allowing them to indicate if they want to learn further has to be the best way to proceed. If children do not show an interest there would be no need to continue teaching them.
Right, just like giving them some thought and idea of what Bitcoin is. That's already enough introduction. And when they want to learn more, they can use the internet to search for that question of theirs but it is for sure that they'll approach the parents regarding what boggles them and if Bitcoin can't get out of their minds.
Having said that, I hope the next generation have more use of crypto than what most of this current generation has and that can only from more education.
I am hoping as well because they're more exposed to technologies and that's likely to happen. 
Forcing your children is never been that recommended because on the time that you do make out some explanation but they had just simply ignore it out or something that doesnt show any interest while you do explain then their minds arent that prepared or ready.
The truth is that there are still a lot of unknowns about bitcoin and it would be better to let children learn at their own pace and not to pressure them into learning something that they're not interested in. Bitcoin is very risky investment and it's not appropriate to expose children to financial risk without their consent. The way Bitcoin is been perceived even among some grown up people, my concern about exposing children to Bitcoin is that it could lead them having unrealistic expectations about the future. Because Bitcoin has experienced some major price spikes, some people believe that it will continue to grow in value indefinitely. This might create a get rich quick mentality in them which can be unhealthy and even dangerous. Even if we are to teach them, I think it's important to teach children about the risks and realities of investing rather than giving them false hope.

Bitcoin is a very promising coin of the future and it will make payment gateways easier in the future. Although Bitcoin is already accepted as payment in many places. Bitcoin is expected to be used everywhere in the future. So the future generation must have knowledge about Bitcoin. But it is not right to force this on children.Having said that, I hope the next generation have more use of crypto than what most of this current generation has and that can only from more education.

That's the condition, you tell them a bit of them without forcing them to know. But when they show interest, that's when you're going to tell them what Bitcoin is.
As long as they are showing interest then you should be happy to teach and show them on how to use Bitcoin because that curiosity of theirs will grow into an interesting knowledge and could turn into a hobby someday.

I agree with your words that we shouldn’t force our children for learning about bitcoin in their younger years. But if it turns out that they are very happy with our bitcoin usage and they express interest in learning about bitcoin then it is not a problem to help them at that time. Because it is very difficult to force someone to teach something but if someone shows interest in learning something and has focus on that subject. But we can tell our sons and daughters to learn about Bitcoin when they cross at least 16 years
In fact, it is never possible to teach anything by forcing what ever it is. If the person or the children don't have any interest then no body should force them to do that or learn that. We should take care of what they like and give their interest priority. But what we can do is to present to them the positive aspects of the things that may be necessary in life. As we teach them many things as primary education. I think Bitcoin will play a big role in the economic system in the future so I think our future generation should be informed about it as children so that they don't get left behind and they should know the positive aspects of it.

In my own opinion, forcing a child to learn Bitcoin might be against some countries' laws, but in my country, forcing your own child is common, because we see it as a means of giving good directives to our children. These things happen every day, especially when the child is in his/her teenage age. They feel like they are adults who can be responsible for making some serious life decisions. Bitcoin is the future of cryptocurrency. Anyone who fails to dive into it when they have the opportunity will surely have regrets tomorrow, so at first forcing a child to learn Bitcoin might seem too rude or wicked as a parent, but, as time progresses later, I bet the child will thank you later in the future. And besides, teaching your child Bitcoin doesn't mean his/her life or career.
Bitcoin is digital currency and it is very interesting thing which is very popular among young generation so no one should force a child to learn about bitcoin because he will be attracted to bitcoin after a certain age. so there is no logic in forcing a child to teach them about Bitcoin. Bitcoin is a profitable thing but if a child is taught about Bitcoin against his will and he first sees a Bitcoin dump then negative perception of Bitcoin can work in him. So children should not be forced to learn about Bitcoin in any way. But if any kid is interested in learning about Bitcoin. In that case, some help can be given to himJump to:
