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.
To a degree, I absolutely agree with the sentiments you have expressed but at some stage (depending on their age) I think it becomes a very relevant conversation to have. The world is changing and if we as adults to not pass on relevant information and historical facts related to finance and social/politics to the next generation we will probably be doing a disservice to them.

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.
Sure, if they are not interested they should not be forced to learn about Bitcoin or crypto, however I would state that if there is a subtle way to guide them to bring some sort of broad information to their knowledge it might not be a bad thing. After all, if they state they do not want to learn about crypto surely the appropriate thing to do would be to ask "why" and then have that conversation that you seem to not want to have.

For tender minds, it's better to do things around them that you want them to do than rather say/force anything. If someone from family were to be into Bitcoin than high chances child will get to know about it and might get into it as well.

You made a very viable point @ OP but the truth is that investing on Bitcoin has nothing to do with destiny because it doesn't require special skills neither does it it requires a personal momentum.
Though it could be tough to some person's to exhibit the possessional PATIENT requirements with the hope to make profits in the Bitcoin marketing industry but never the less, still, all factions and systems of making money is still required patient unless even at those who indulgence in illegalities, patient to planning to succeed as thought is highily required.
Though my point shouldn't is not termed to compromise the contents and of OPs contexts.
Bitcoin is an investment and not a carrier. That is why people on different sources could diversify their investments to have a path to Bitcoin investments because it is flexible despites the technicality to handling.

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.

There are strong phrases "Like father, like son" and "apple does not fall far from the apple tree", which means we should not force our kids to learn about Bitcoin, but if they see we are into it, they will eventually start to show interest to it also. We all know that kids switch on their protective feature against everything that is forces to do, and that gives rise to hostility. Moreover, Bitcoin is not the most important knowledge for kids to learn. They have plenty of other necessities to learn about. So I would not rush to learn about Bitcoin and wait until kid shows interest to it on his own. That is the only moment parent should join the process.

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.

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.

Children should naturally acquire education according to the educational syllabus of their institution.

Acquiring education according to the educational syllabus of their institution never comes naturally. This is very artificial activity, because every institution has its own view in education process, and it can not be guaranteed that this way will suit for the specific child. I don't see anything wrong with kids getting some extra education, including about crypto. But sure, it doesn't have to be about forcing them.
There's nothing wrong with giving your child knowledge that includes crypto. We all know this is not commonly taught/included when they grow up unless they see it somewhere or are told by someone else.

If the child shows interest in cryptocurrency once being told, it's a good sign. But yes, if the kids do not show any interest, forcing them will only lead to a negative result. Let them make their own path to knowing Bitcoin. Let them learn on their own, if your child does ask for your help for clarification and a clear explanation, give it to them without forcing.

There's nothing wrong with teaching Bitcoin to our children, as long as we know they can absorb it. Why not? Now, we, as parents, will know whether or not our children can understand what we are saying.

Because I plan to do it, I will not immediately tell him about bitcoin, but what I will do is familiarize him with the usages of bitcoin until the day comes when my son himself has curiosity about bitcoin. and when that happens, I will start to explain to him little by little about Bitcoin. Because Bitcoin is not easy to understand, and that's the truth.
If we teach our children when they are still in elementary school, I don't think the children will be interested, because their world is still a game world, Yes, I agree with you, if your child is older, there's no harm in teaching him, Parents slowly teach our children about the world of investment, if they keep asking questions out of curiosity, we continue to educate our children, How about this investment in the next 10 years the value will increase, and the assets remain the same, while teaching you about the concept of money, This is not in school lessons. Maybe children trust their parents more than their teachers at school. and it is through this investment that we can fight inflation. Money keeps going down every year. Another reason is to invest at a young age, you can pursue your dreams and prepare for your old age with financial freedom

Putting extra pressure on children will change the mentality of children, so putting extra pressure on children should never be done as a guardian. Each of our guardians should play an important role in the development of children's mind-set. Children should naturally acquire education according to the educational syllabus of their institution. If children are increasingly stressed about Bitcoin and Blockchain, they will not be able to learn their class studies and will instead become mentally ill due to the extra stress.

I think it's better not to discuss Bitcoin in front of children because when they understand better, if they are taught something about Bitcoin, they will accept it. And it's not fair to push at a young age, but I've seen a lot of cartoons being made these days about Bitcoin teaching kids. If kids get some ideas from watching those cut videos then they will definitely be able to acquire some good knowledge about Bitcoin when they reach their age. That's why it's best not to teach Bitcoin to very young children,

It is right that it should never be forced, but if you think about it, there are many people around us who have lack of money and their children hardly meet the education expenses. Those who are not short of money have their children pursuing their studies without any worries, but there are also children who are unable to meet their educational expenses and are working alongside their studies to meet their expenses.

I have seen many such children grow up and become successful in their lives, because they take responsibility on their shoulders from a young age. So there's nothing wrong with talking to kids about Bitcoin, because now when we look back at the history of Bitcoin, it makes us sad. If our parents or close people had told us about it when it was trading at 0.2dollars in 2009 and if we had invested even a little bit of our pocket money in Bitcoin, how much would we have profited today. So instead of keeping children ignorant of Bitcoin, they should be taught about Bitcoin.

Parents who regret they can't afford to make an investment at an early age teach their children to have an early investment so while they are growing there's a possible return they can get, but its too young to them to understand the bitcoin at the end its parent's decision to have this, so until the children do not know the bitcoin custody are still on the parent's side. We cannot blame them for this kind of mindset they want let their children be aware of the real world immediately but again don't cut their wings just for this.
Ideal to just give a brief knowledge to them and if they get interested good but if not and you as a parent still want them to have this ideal to inherit those assets.
Teaching children about investment is very good because it will be easier for them to understand it and if we teach children about Bitcoin and they still don't understand it well, we don't need to force them to do it because maybe now is not the right time for them, it would be better we prepare investments for them when it is time for them to know we can teach it, because investing in Bitcoin will be very profitable for their future.

Educating about Bitcoin is good but forcing a person into Bitcoin is not right. A child can grow up to learn just as much as he is nurtured when he is young. But I think it's better not to discuss Bitcoin in front of children because when they understand better, if they are taught something about Bitcoin, they will accept it. And it's not fair to push at a young age, but I've seen a lot of cartoons being made these days about Bitcoin teaching kids. If kids get some ideas from watching those cut videos then they will definitely be able to acquire some good knowledge about Bitcoin when they reach their age. That's why it's best not to teach Bitcoin to very young children because if they have to pick up all these positive aspects of Bitcoin, they may fall behind educationally. If they learn about Bitcoin when they try to become financially independent, it will be good for them and they will be able to do a lot in the future.

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.
If a young person has talent in another field, it might be easy for us to decide what to teach them. however, if the child hasn't shown any particular talent yet, we could offer to teach them about Bitcoin and blockchain technology. Remember, it's about offering, not forcing. If the child responds positively to learning about blockchain technology and cryptocurrency, why not give them some lessons? after all, I don't spend much time buying Bitcoin as a long term investment.

so far, I'll still prioritize the talents the child has and consider Bitcoin as an alternative if they don't discover their talents. If it turns out the child has the potential to be a badminton player, I'll still inform them about Bitcoin investment, or at least teach them how to accumulate BTCtc using the money they earn from playing badminton once they reach a professional level.

I wonder how many times I was mentioned on this topic. I guess I have already responded once or twice regarding this matter. Once again, what is the point of teaching your kids about Bitcoin? Regarding my country's education system, a four-year-old's average weight is around 16 to 20 KG. Can you imagine a school bag that is more than ten KG, and he carries it when he goes to school?

The kids are already under a lot of pressure to learn many things at a young age. I believe it's enough to know the alphabet and some numerics in the first class. Slowly, they will learn more things according to their age and capacity. Where do you see a scope to force them to learn Bitcoin in this age?

Probably on the worst things someone can do with their kids is forcing them to learn something that they have no interest in. I understand they are trying to do it in their interest but oftentimes it's just doesn't work and the kid may even end up hating whatever you are trying to make him learn. Some parents should learn to take it easy, it could be school, it could be sport, the question is: does my kid like this? Am I doing this more for him or for me?

Bitcoin is a digital currency in which global knows about bitcoin and in the Internet bitcoin is always threading so even though you have not teach your children bitcoin other people will teach your children bitcoin either through school or through play from the age group because bitcoin is all over in the Internet and is not something you will force your children to develop interest and learn about Bitcoin, so I believe that bitcoin is something I denotes that have to do with time, if your children doesn't have a time to learn bitcoin their is nothing you can do and they develop interests in bitcoin

True that, let our children to have a freedom of choice, they will ask us about something if they are interested but let us not fail to introduce Bitcoin to them, at least we had opened a path to cryptocurrency for them.  Just let them decide whether they get interested or not.  We can follow through once they get older.  For now let them enjoy their being a kid and have them interact naturally with things and people around them. 

Pushing things that are way complicated for their understanding will only confuse and stress them.  It is not healthy for the kids so better not force them to learn complex things for their age.
And children's are not always ready for these complex things; as they are young, they should enjoy their youth first before anything else, so they will not miss out on the things they can do as children. Yes, we can open the idea or introduce the idea of bitcoin; we can only teach them bitcoin deeply if they show interest and want to learn it themselves. As many children or young adults have exceptional talent and a mind that is more mature in thinking, they are the ones who's ideal to early teach about bitcoin, but of course, young people still need guidance from their parents as bitcoin if they engage requires money, so we also need to teach our children to have proper money management, not just bitcoin itself but the other aspects needed in bitcoin, like discipline, self-control, technical analysis, etc. There's a lot to be considered before bitcoin itself.
