I myself came from a traditional family, where it is quite common to have a lot of money misconceptions and how to deal with money problems faced by every family. As I grew up, I learned to distance myself from what my parents and siblings view on money management was. Now that I am a parent myself, I would serve as a role model for my child and teach him valuable lessons about money when he is old enough to understand how money or the lack thereof affects our lives.
This is a very good post, but the point is not if we should educate them, but rather
when. Also, should this happen at a earlier age with Bitcoin, because it gives more freedom and control to it's user. We have to realize that giving people more freedom and control, comes with added risks.
They have no customer protection and insurance to fall back on, when they deal with Bitcoin directly. They are given 100% control over their private key, when they do not use Bitcoin through 3rd party services. Your money matters are your own responsibility now, and this increase your risk, if you manage that poorly.
I am saying, let's find a way to educate the youth at a younger age when they are using Bitcoin, based on our collective experience for them to learn from our mistakes. Bitcoin gives children at a younger age, the opportunity to manage their own money, which is not the case with other fiat systems and banks.
Let's protect our children from the scams and the exploitation that are currently out there, by educating them at a earlier age, when they use a technology that enables them to trade globally. ^hmmmm^
