I have 10 BTC and I'm only 15, lol.

How?!

How not? Kids with gaming PCs + parents paying for electricity + 2012 = 10 BTC

I said I "have" 10 BTC, I didn't say how much I "had" Cheesy

So under a year you have made 10 Bitcoin? nearly 6000 dollars? Shame you can't withdraw yet unless you get your parents too..

he could always go to McDonald's or Starbuck's and trade it with a cop

Why can't minors use bitcoin, it is money.  The only reason minors can't really get contracts for stuff is because they can basically sue for all their money back, so noone wants to issue them stuff.  Yes, its not that simple but you get the point.  
Anyways i'm sure we will soon here a story about some 14 year old spending all his communion money or some other bullshit on bitcoin and losing it from dumb trades, then bam public outcry against bitcoin.

I would be willing to open a account for my kids if they were interested in Bitcoin and limit them how much they can invest so they don't lose it all.

McXNOW does not require ID for trading.

There are some smart under 18s out there.

Maybe, parents verify on an exchange and they operate the account.  I would use my ID etc to help my kids if they were interested.

Nothing wrong with kids being interested in finance.

Exactly, I've learned a lot about finance and security working with Bitcoin for the past two or so years.

How would under 18's with no jobs be able to afford mining equipment that sounds a little unrealistic to me.
Most altcoins can be mined on CPU (at launch) or cheap GPUs. If you have time on your hands to, you can be there early.

What the hell are you guys talking about, being illegal?  It is NOT illegal.  They could have mined it.  And they can sell on localbitcoins, without needing to be 18.

Most under 18's have jobs maybe not maximum wage but they have jobs and can pay for thenselves mining equipment is very cheap for mining alt coins and then selling on even signature advertisements are the eqiuvivalnt to real time jobs in the 1st world countries.

You can easily buy BTC off ebay or make them by selling stuff or partaking in a signature deal.

They mine. Buying Btc is not the only way to get it you know. Some might have done it long time ago, others mine alt coins and exchange for btc. They won't be able to change those btc to fiat until they are 18 that is for sure.

How would under 18's with no jobs be able to afford mining equipment that sounds a little unrealistic to me.

You can mine some altcoins on laptops or standard computers. Under 18s can also have jobs.

99% of DogeCoin users are kids using daddy's credit card to buy billions of Doge.

Any rich kid have a dual GPU R9 290X in his gaming computer to mine.

Services like QuickBT.com use a debit card to pay for purchases - in Canada you can be as young as 9 with a debit card.

Many exchanges only require a debit card and I bet a lot of under 18's use these services.
