Topic: How to explain bitcoin to teenagers or children - page 107. (Read 118041 times)

Internet and using computers or different devices is very common for teenagers because it is part of their lifestyle and using it properly can help them to understand bitcoin well and if they continue using it for doing studies about bitcoin then there is no doubt  that it will help them to get higher chance of earning bitcoin while children can stick to using mobile applications because it is more like game to them.

For a teenager there is a very great incentive to study bitcoin, this is a real prospect of financial independence from parents. Now teenagers and so very much use the Internet for earnings, and bitcoin will increase their chances of success.

You have a point there's no reason for children to know about bitcoin because they all know is to play.  But teenagers are different from childen, teenagers are more matured and they have much experience. Teenagers also have expenses to prioritize so that they need to know about it. You don't need to explain to them how it works because there are many videos in youtube about bitcoin.

First thing you should consider when you want to explain to children is to know if they are interested on what you are going to explain. Because if a children is interested on it, you can easily explain it to him. So if you're going to explain it sure if that children is very interested on it. But in teenager it is very easy to explain than the children. Because the maturity of teenager than the children is very different.

do you think that it is necessary to teach them about bitcoin? to me i think we do not need to teach to our teenagers to learn about bitcoin because in currency time bitcoin is use as investment and not as currency.

Yeah, I think of a child (especially little child) must be given advance understanding of the concept of money. If a child can not understand what is the meaning of "money" then I suggest not to introduce bitcoin beforehand because it becomes a tricky thing for a child. And I think even though a child could understand the money is not yet time to use bitcoin because I think a little ridiculous. But if it is under the supervision of parents I guess it's okay.

For teenagers menjeleskan bitcoin will be a little easier especially at this time every teenager would have to have a gadget that is connected to the Internet. Which will facilitate them in finding information on the Internet related to bitcoin. But I suggest to tell them a trusted website like this forum, to avoid things that are not desirable. Thank you

Yes! First you need to ecplain to the children how money works and earn so that if you explain the bitcoin to them, they would easily know how it woks. In teenager, it is very easy because we all know that the maturity of teenager is better than the children. Explain to them on how it works and where to get or earn bitcoin and what are the good ways to earn it.

More likely an asset, yes. So we just need to tell the teenager if they are interested and just discover the other facts about it. You cant just force to tell them about it, if they want it, they must know how it works.

but i think teenagers do not need to explain bitcoin to them at all. bitcoin is currently is using as investment and not as currency, therefore hey still do not need learn about bitcoin.

Those kids an easily understand bitcoin because there is some few application for our device like smartphone that pays in bitcoin so if you want to make their interests into bitcoin then you should try those mini-game application and then while they are enjoying the game then try to explain what is bitcoin like telling them that it is just an internet money where you will use it as a normal money.

Teenagers shouldn't be hard to explain to, if they have interest in these kinds of things though (The same for adults, you wouldn't get anything if they have no interest in technology or payment systems)
Children would be difficult to explain to if they are particularly young IMO.

For early explanation, they should be known that bitcoin is like money and can be complement as investation.
It will be better for explain from easier part rather than technical part. If they more interest on bitcoin, then you can explain bitcoin more depth

Lol even a dewas though not quite understand the concept of bitcoin. how with teenagers or small children. teens might be a little understood but I doubt with a small child will understand

I think you got it all wrong a person who is interested with Bitcoin will have a better understanding or development when it comes to learning Bitcoin compared to those people who are not interested at all. Also what do you expect from kids not knowing about Bitcoin? It is natural do you expect kids understanding Calculus at their young age? Of course not. They are still kids I don't think they need to handle a new kind of currency at such a young age.

simply by explaining regrding digital currency and then regarding regulations and evolvement

Explaining bitcoin to anyone who is interested about it is very hard. How much more when it comes to those who lacks interest about bitcoin. The thing is many children doesn't have a single idea about bitcoin. i have also noticed that same with you, 90% and above of the youth population in our country doesn't even know a single detail about bitcoin.

But, there's always a solution into any problem. Somehow it needs us to raise awareness about the facts and benefits of using bitcoin. Aside from that, as I started familiarizing myself into bitcoin, I find it hard where and how to start.

Your personal experience with bitcoin will help a lot in explaining.

In simple words you can that

Bitcoin is like real money.

If you have bitcoin, you can buy stuff with it.

Most stores only take real money and credit cards. But some stores also take bitcoin.

At these special stores, you can use bitcoin to buy what you want, like ice cream. You don't have to use money or credit cards to buy ice cream. You can use bitcoin.

Each bitcon is like a dollar bill in some ways.

Like each dollar bill, each bitcoin has a unique number or i.d.

Like a dollar bill, you know when you give your bitcoin to the store. 

Like a dollar bill, no one except the store and you know that you are paying for ice cream with that bitcoin.

But unlike a dollar bill, anyone with a computer and the I.D. of the bitcoin knows that bitcoin was used and moved from one person to another.

They just don't know who you are or who the store is.

Because anyone can follow a bitcoin by I.D. numbers, bitcoin can be a good way to keep track of things like purchases. It's like a receipt that everyone can see. They know something happened and bitcoin moved. But they don't know who moved it. Or who got it.

Bitcoin can do things real money can not.

"What makes [bitcoin] different is bitcoin can also be the agreement between people. In other words, we make an agreement that says: "Give Billy one bitcoin only after he cleans his room". Once your room is clean, and both of us agree that your room is clean, one bitcoin will automatically go to you.

As long the person does know internet and knows how to search then its not really hard to speak to them about bitcoin because all of the informations about bitcoin is on the net and as a person they are obliged to their own actions if they are eager to earn money then they should do such action without the need of  the point of spoon feeding to them.

I don't think teenagers necessarily "need" to know about bitcoins. Keep in mind that there are also other side income that you can do except for bitcoins. How do you think the people before bitcoin earn money as a student? They go serve in the cashier or wash the dishes in some low-end restaurants. Anything that doesn't require a diploma or any higher education.

Since almost everything is now available on the Internet, you simply have to introduce bitcoins to the people that you want to teach about bitcoins and they can do the rest if they're eager enough to learn.

Bitcoin is difficult for beginners to understand and also to explain. Yet, you need to know all the details about it. Children doesn't need to know about bitcoin because they all know for now is to play, but teenagers does. I'll tell them the advantages and disadvantages of bitcoin and I'll them how it works and how to manage the bitcoin. There are many explanation about bitcoin in youtube so that, you don't need to explain all of it just give them the link.
