Topic: Don't Force Your Children to Learn Bitcoin - page 6. (Read 1936 times)

I have come to agreements with everything you penned down, but then, with how this generation of human beings are in so much debt, financially Indiscipline, financial illiterates, poor planners and lots more, parents need to teach kids about bitcoin,  because it'll be the guide and hope for the future.

Let's relate to the large debts by the United States 🇺🇸 of America,  the third world countries too and how their political leaders abuse and steal all of the money in the government for their selves and families,  don't you think that teaching bitcoin or with bitcoin will serve as a tool to stop the mess generated by this generation for other generations to come?

I do know  say children should be forced but they need to be thought nevertheless about how transparent, volatile and how it helps to aid those utilising it from inflation, also how it gives liberty and freedom to those users and give them so much privacy away from the banks.

But very few parents understand that and what they are doing is the opposite. I mean, they're teaching their kids what they think is best and not thinking about whether their kids like them. Many parents impose their thoughts on their children, and they think it is the best thing they do for them.

I am also a parent, but I strongly oppose many parents teaching bitcoin to their children because some are too young, and some are not interested in bitcoin. But many parents force their children to do as they please, but this will make them hate bitcoin more than they like it.

You are correct that many engineers and doctors are unhappy with their careers because they are forced to study certain subjects. The same is true of learning about bitcoin. If you are a parent who is interested in bitcoin, you should keep using it rather than forcing your kids to learn about it because you believe that bitcoin is beneficial and that it allows you to create things without the help of the government.
Despite the fact that many people today profit from bitcoin investments to the point where even government employees do not have half of what he does, when we talk about the future, we are not going to live our children's lives, and if we damage their reputation, we do not deserve the title of parent. In my opinion, we should not force our children to learn things they do not find interesting.

Are we talking about learning Bitcoin or is it about how to earn Bitcoins?

Yes, we can tell our children about Bitcoin and how it works. Since Bitcoin is a digital currency, children can easily understand it when we compare it with fiat money. However, I don't think we should focus on teaching kids how to earn Bitcoin at this stage of their age. Kids should only be focusing on schooling and playing and should not take the stress of earning.

Much really better if they are the one who can disciver this since we would know if they are really interested with this and to make sure that they could last long with the challenges they can possibly face.

If we force them to learn this maybe they will hate its existence and might they will just totally ignore what you say about bitcoin to them. Bitcoin now is slowly reaching in the mainstream and for sure when they grow up they can learn about this plus they know that we are using it so provably all will take good place at the right time.

You can't force your children to learn bitcoin or to learn any other things what I believe in bitcoin is that who ever that have interest on bitcoin is the person that will understand bitcoin very well, so therefore children you can lead and direct them what will benefit them in future if you know it's a bitcoin that fetch food on their table as parents you have 75% authority over them by teaching the road that will better their life, you child should not give you a condition on what he and she will do, you know more than child and its your duty as father and mother to shoe them a root that will better their life

Investing and saving are two different concepts. Saving money has no risk of loss, while investing is win-lose. There is no guarantee that investing in bitcoin will always win, this is a misconception that we need to avoid when educating our children about bitcoin. If you have decided to teach your child bitcoin as an investment, then you need to talk more about the risks it can bring than just focusing on the profits.

Agree with that, I mean we don't know if they actually learning what Bitcoin is but the fact that we are introducing Bitcoin to them is giving them a good introduction that hopefully one day they will wonder what is Bitcoin is and start to get curious about it, then they will start to find out what really is Bitcoin and probably might start investing on their own right.

I mean it could be more effective when you teach them when they are already teenagers, If they are exposed to it they will they will think from the beginning that Bitcoin is a part of how they live. Like I've said the Bitcoin cartoon thing is a good option since they are exposed to this kind of technology or things, Its really great since it's like teaching your children to save money like saving a small amount in a piggy bank.

I am definitely against forcing someone to do something, however I believe, that learning cryptocurrency and bitcoin in particular is potentially interesting for everyone, because it is connected to one's finances and this topic is in the interest of any person. If it is accessible and exciting explained to a child how bitcoin can help him in everyday life, how it will help him find and obtain what he dreams of, then there will undoubtedly be interest in studying it.

This is what I will do with my son. As a bitcoin investor, introducing and teaching our children bitcoin is something anyone would do. But many parents make the mistake of teaching their children too early and forcing them to learn even though they don't like it. It's something I've always protested on this forum, many parents are teaching their kids bitcoin forcibly, which is sure to do them more harm than good. I will also teach my kids when they are old enough to know about bitcoin, but if they don't like it and choose something else, I won't force them and let them be comfortable with their choice.

for children, I think the introduction to bitcoin is enough to teach, considering that we have to introduce it gradually. it is not certain that they will be interested in being in this business, even if they are not interested, at least they will get to know bitcoin later. after all, everyone has their own talents, so they will also determine their own path, so as parents we must be able to direct according to the will of the child. for the introduction of bitcoin, I think it needs to be done early

I've told it every time that Bitcoin is a complicated thing for children and to be honest for sure they don't really care about it sure they just know that saving is a good thing and that is what you're teaching them it is probably more accurate probably if they are already a teenager it's the right age to teach them what is bitcoin, But even children could wonder what really bitcoin is which is a good thing it will encourage them to get involved on the cryptocurrency space soon when they grow up since they might wonder what this bitcoin is. Learning when you're a child could be a good thing in the future because they have great practices and investing or saving can be a normal thing to them.

We see the bitcoin cartoon get popular if children would watched those clips they might have no idea what is bitcoin but it's a good start to condition them in the future, to invest, save etc.

So basically you teaching your son with practice, it will better if you teach teory of bitcoin like transfer knowledge too. But some people will teach their son by theory about bitcoin including i as parent it will make our son interested with bitcoin. I will tell my son Bitcoin is the best asset for saving our money compared gold and fiat money and tell them for use ledger to save bitcoin from hacker so they will aware how to manage their asset with safe.

Maybe it depends on the parent who has a deep understanding of Bitcoin and how to make his child aware of Bitcoin. For example, I have a son turning 7 years old this year, at this age, I can familiarize him with using Bitcoin as a payment and encashing it into our fiat that I don't need to explain to him. I will only show familiarization, then when he reaches 8-10 years old, I will make him aware of how to use Bitcoin but the trading factor is not here yet.

I will do this to my son without affecting his growth as a child. Of course, he can enjoy being a child while I make him aware of the usage of Bitcoin in our life without force.

In teaching children if it is an out-of-school knowledge, we should assess the interest of the kid we wanted to teach Bitcoin about.  If the kid shows interest then we can start telling them the basic.  we don't need to go deeper in tackling Bitcoin because it will be too much for the kid.  If needed we should represent the explanation in the simplest way so that they can understand the concept clearly.  We should also observe if they keep their interest, and if in case they have lost interest in learning Bitcoin then we must stop since it will only bring difficulties for the kids if we push the subject of learning Bitcoin to them.

Agree. Never force them to learn something that they are not interested in them. Let the children explore their minds and it is their right to determine which things they want to learn. However, if we know they choose something bad, we must guide them to stay away from it. It is our responsibility to guide our children the right way or to something good in this life. Regarding Bitcoin, if our children aren't interested yet in Bitcoin, don't force them to learn Bitcoin. We just need to tell them what Bitcoin in general is, or we only show them the picture. I think this step is enough to let them know about Bitcoin only without forcing them to learn it.

Sure. Children always grow both physically and mentally, their mindset may also change as they grow older. When they are getting older, they know more and experience many things. It is possible that one day they realize that Bitcoin is interesting to them. When they show their interest, we can start to give them the lesson. But if they don't show interest, don't force them to learn.

As long that they wont really get pressured on which this is the primary issue on why there are children who do end up on switching courses and careers or interest just because of their parents choice
but ending up on not being happy or contented because this isnt something that they do really wanted in the first place.This is why its never been that suggestable on forcing up your child on what
are the things that they would want to do because its true that they do have different skill sets and interest in life but explaining out those basic things then it wont be bad.

Simple explanations would might do but not something that you would be forcing them to deal with.We know that one they do have feel out on being forced then for sure they would just keeping on
getting far away from it and this is something that we dont really like to happen. This is why you should really be that mindful in regarding your plans on explaining it to them at younger age.
Yes, they could easily absorbed up things but always basing up into the minds if they do able to understand.

We don't need to force children on cryptocurrency but we only need to enlighten them if they have interest. And here are a few things to consider regarding teaching children about bitcoin:

1. Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are becoming increasingly relevant in the global economy. Exposing children to financial technology and digital assets at a young age could give them an advantageous understanding as they grow up.

2. Teaching children how to manage and invest in assets responsibly from a young age could help develop important life skills and financial literacy. Kids who learn about savings, investing and wealth creation early on tend to make better financial decisions as adults.

3. If done properly and with parental supervision, learning about bitcoin can be a fun and engaging experience for children. They are often naturally curious about new technologies.

4. Parents should ultimately decide at what age and to what extent their children learn about bitcoin, based on their maturity level and interests. Forcing children to learn when they are not ready is likely to be counterproductive.

5. As with any financial topic, parents should teach children about the risks involved with bitcoin as well as the potential opportunities. Kids need a balanced understanding.

6. Responsible use of bitcoin for children means starting with small amounts and under parents' supervision and control of any funds or accounts. Kids should not have unrestricted access that could lead to losses.

So in summary, while forcing children to learn bitcoin is not a good approach, exposing them appropriately based on their maturity level and interests could have benefits. As with anything, moderation and common sense should guide parents' decisions.

The most important thing is that parents educate themselves sufficiently on bitcoin first, so they can teach their children responsibly. But don't feel pressure to force the topic if it's not a good fit for your family right now.

That is how it is in life. Destiny differs. So telling someone why he or she doesn't like to do is always a problem and end up with bad results. Children are very good in learning through listening at the tender age but even at that they have things to do in their mind. If you want to know ask them and they will tell you what they want to be in future probably they have seen such profession in someone close to them in the family. And if you allow them to do what is in their mind they do well in future.

When teaching children about Bitcoin, it is important to provide a balanced perspective and emphasize its potential benefits and risks. Forcing children to use Bitcoin or treating it as their only destiny would be misleading and inappropriate. Instead, the goal should be to educate children about technology, its potential applications, and the broader financial context in which it exists. This allows them to develop a holistic understanding and make informed decisions when they are ready. Promoting an open and unbiased approach, where children can explore different options and make their own choices, is key. It is important to respect their autonomy and personal interests rather than using persuasion tactics to convince them to use Bitcoin.
