Topic: Don't Force Your Children to Learn Bitcoin - page 7. (Read 1952 times)

That's the case many at times as, forced learning is always one born out of the lack of enthusiasm. Learning is easier when someone gets go build interest in the course or subject he or she is being introduced to.
Gor adults, it comes easy om how to introduce the concept of bitcoin or cryptocurrencies to them but for kids, financial education becomes boring or uninteresting except when incentives follow up and its done using a very practical approach.

For the case of bitcoin education, its not an easy course to teach to children but then, an investment in there name with various wallets and a check on progress while showing it to them would build there interest in the currency.

True. Forcing people to like something backfires a lot in my experience. For example, should the daughter of a great singer also needs to be a singer? Maybe she wants to be an engineer... Maybe she will just hate singing... That shit always happens.  Just because we are so much into crypto don't mean our kids will like crypto too. Everybody in this life creates his/her own luck. No matter how much you tell people that they should invest in this, you should invest in that, they will never listen to you. They will do whatever they have in their minds.

For me, it's okay to tell the children about Bitcoin in terms of what is Bitcoin and what to do with Bitcoin, that's the limit. If you tell them about how to earn Bitcoin and other advanced stuff about Bitcoin, then it's not the time yet for them to learn about that. I've seen about the deconstruct of teaching between children and elder, the description is really great and those teacher doesn't tell them anything more than what they are capable to learn for those children. I'd personally against teaching kids about Bitcoin in terms of trading and stuff, but for the definition and what to use is okay I guess.

True.. Our children will not suffer as much as we did to learn about Bitcoin. Because the internet was not so readily available then. When I started learning about Bitcoin, my country didn't even have a proper 3G network. And now that the Internet has revolutionized so much in my country, I am sure that my children will learn about Bitcoin by themselves.So there is no need to force someone to learn about interesting things like Bitcoin, once they start knowing they will be attracted to it.

Forget about age for a moment and we all agree that teaching bitcoin is the right step for preparing children when they grow up. Normally parents will know when teaching children in the world of finance by age and they are able to take responsibility for their decisions. Slightly forcing children to be better prepared in dealing with the financial system in the modernization era is important because people don't really have to work hard to make money, because the realm of technology has made it easier for anyone to seek financial gain.

If a single bitcoin can bring them wealth and can set up a business where many people can work, then why are we so worried, reluctant and skeptical to introduce bitcoin to kids. Ah never mind, people will also say we are not right and always want to win alone and force the children bla...bla...bla

Life is full of theory that is learned in formal schools and this will not educate children directly to practice it. I agree when children are taught anything related to bitcoin and of course when they are able to recognize money to go shopping with friends or girlfriends. But it seems people are worrying too much about bitcoin learning for kids, why? because they think the child will find a way by himself, even though if the parents are unable to direct it, it will not educate them to reach a more precise direction.

At least just make them aware. Parenting is indeed hard since you still have to let them decide for themselves instead of being that usual toxic parent wherein they force their ways and traditions to their offsprings, just like I mentioned previously in this thread which is commonly an Asian culture. In Western Culture, children tend to separate away from their parents after 18, correct me if I am wrong though.

You can still tell them about BTC, but don't force them if they don't want to adopt that kind of knowledge yet or if they aren't ready to learn such decentralized stuffs since usually the opposite is being taught at school

I never force my children to know, and know BTC from an early age, I'm sure one day they will find out for themselves because they always open the internet and one day they will come to me to ask what BTC is

I will let them play with their children's world , without interrupting things that they don't deserve to do and think because my child is still 9 years old

In the process of learning new things in school some of these children learn new things by themselves from their colleagues just like if someone mentioned Bitcoin as a means of payment or an investment assets in their class those who are really interested in knowing more about Bitcoin will develop the interest naturally without forcing it on them while those who are not interested wouldn't bothered to know or learn about it, with the issue of forcefully teaching children about Bitcoin personally it amount to waste of effort and time because those children will pick interest in it when it's time to do so having seen how often we do things related to Bitcoin like payment transactions via our mobile phones and PC invariably they will pick interest in it.

Their Process learning about bitcoin may require more time and patience.  At least, as the parents, our effort to bring up the intention and interest to our children toward bitcoin is a importance key. We can combine between very basic knowledge of bitcoin and games that related with bitcoin.  from the game, they can know the bitcoin with fun.

Having knowledge about Bitcoin at an early age is a very good idea, so it is a good idea if parents decide to teach their children about Bitcoin at an early age. But I don't think any parents will force their children to learn about Bitcoin because Bitcoin is not a professional course we study but it is a digital currency.even if children are forced to learn about Bitcoin at an early age, it is not something bad once it will not disturb their academics. In some cases, parents need to force their children to learn something they think will be a great benefit for them in the future.

There's always that perfect time on teaching things into your children on which it would really be just that right that you shouldn't really make them force to learn up something which its not really that something that they could be able to learnt up right away or something that they could easily absorbed on. We know that there are really children which is really that having that advanced thinking or easily understands on thing but
in general, lets just make them enjoy first their childhood and doesnt really make them get stressed just because you've been explaining to them on whats bitcoin or crypto is all about. Its not really that on the right age
if they are young, but its true that the earlier the better but as a parent then you wouldnt really be that so dumb on not to see on when is the right time on doing so. We could eventually tell if its
the right time on telling it to them because if you do explain to them too early then it would be useless because they would really be just simply be forgetting it and dont really mind about on what you do say.
Unlike when they are on the right age then it would really be that easy to understand on what they do talk about.

Learning will not takes place once the children do not show interest to learn. So even if we keep teaching them about bitcoin and how it will be an asset in our future, once the children have no passion about bitcoin, then all our efforts will come into waste. However, always know that children are still having brain development so there will always be a change of heart and mind once they reach a mature age. And maybe by that time they will come to understand the real value of bitcoin and would want to eagerly learn bitcoin by then. So if we can teach them at a young age so they can gain prior learning and overview about it, then maybe it could also help them in the future.

Global financial and the Bitcoin concept aren't proper topics for Children. Children only learn simple things, those topics are too complicated for them. I think we only tell them something general about Bitcoin if we really want to share the information with them. Maybe we can show them the picture or tell them that Bitcoin is one of the digital currencies. For further information, we can tell them after they are mature enough, sure it should be above 15 years old. We must adjust the topic to share with them, don't force sharing too complicated information.

Note that the age of children is around 1-12 years: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_development

it is undeniable that the development of many people's knowledge of bitcoin is very fast and continues to roll because all of this is also due to technological advances that never subside with the progress of social media. Indeed, introducing children to bitcoin at this time will be easier with these technological advances, but it must also be interspersed with their liking for games so that they can be inserted. It must be remembered that there are those who are able to immediately absorb what is informed, but there are also those who find it difficult and not a few who may not want to know about it, so the role of parents to be able to explain is imperative so that they want to understand the importance of knowledge about this as early as possible. agree that if possible, it has already been determined when a child can be given information, by seeing and feeling whether they can really understand it, because each child's character will be different from one another and don't get used to putting pressure on because it is certain that they will have antipathy with what we want to go for. In principle, introducing earlier would be more beneficial than delaying until the time to be determined, because delay is not the best thing

I believe parents who teach their kids about bitcoin are already aware of the capabilities of the digital currency. Furthermore, since kids in the 21st century are generally intelligent and capable of handling any mental task, It's not a bad idea, in my opinion, for parents to teach their children about bitcoin. The youngsters should be aware of how to utilize bitcoin because we are in the future and looking at nations that are accepting it.


The problem of choosing a course for a child is a common one, and it's very different from the problem of learning bitcoin, they can also learn stuffs like blockchain and many more. The problem is that, for me personally, I don't buy the idea of forcing a child to study a course it's a free world, and Everyone has the freedom to pursue any course of study. And finally, if I ever have children, and they reach a certain age, I'll show them that bitcoin can be entertaining in some way.

Introducing children to the changing global financial landscape and the concept of Bitcoin can really be valuable, as it helps them understand the evolving digital economy. Determining the appropriate age to introduce such topics can vary depending on a child's maturity, ability to understand complex concepts, and prior knowledge of finance. While 15 years old can be considered a good starting point for introducing children to Bitcoin, it is important to evaluate each child individually. Some children may be ready to grasp concepts earlier, while others may need more time. It is essential to consider their level of interest, cognitive ability, and willingness to handle financial and investment discussions.

Children should not be forced to choose a life goal by their parents, and Bitcoin is just one of those investment opportunities in the world today, we don't know what tomorrow will bring.

If they have no interest, then don't force them, let them follow their own path. As parents, we can easily believe that we know what is best for our children, but most of the time we are wrong.

There are some kids who are blessed with different talents, and their parents need to support them while they demonstrate their skills to the world.

Do not kill your children's dreams because you believe you know what's best for them.

I know you are very worried about forcing parents' thoughts on their children regarding early education about Bitcoin. I also don't like it when I see children being exploited by their parents' principles to the point where they feel uncomfortable. Of course we can't force it if our children don't want or are not interested in Bitcoin at all.
however, how to educate children is the prerogative and responsibility of their parents. Every parent must have their own way of educating their child.
In my opinion, the right age to introduce them to Bitcoin is when they are teenagers, but again, every parent has their own expectations and knows better how to educate their children, right?.  for risk issues in terms of educating children there will always be and that is the responsibility of their respective parents.

Yes, i agree with you. Childhood times is the seed time of life. No one should waste their valuable time to learn about bitcoin. If a children know about bitcoin in the early age, its can damage his future and  dream. Also if a children know about bitcoin , he/she can invest their, which has addicted himself/herself for more invest..Its also waste of time and not only kill their future but also kill their dream too. Its harmful for a children career and  effect go through a family and a nation.
So parents shouln't force and encourage thier children to learn about bitcoin. This time they need concentrate to their studies and bright their future.

I mean you don't really define what being a "child" means to you.  What ages are we talking about here? Yeah I'm probably not going to try and be teaching my 3 year old about how bitcoin works, but once my child got older, and was at the age to be able to learn and understand how money and basic finances work, I would see no problem forcing your kids to learn.  Hell most of school across our lives is forced learning, might as well teach something that you can actually use in the real world.
