Even you want to teach him personally how btc works it will not help them. It will needed have thier own interests to learn about BTC explainkng it into not interested persons is just wasting time. Teach only the basic If they are interested to learn they will learn it in her own.

If you tell them the importance of bitcoin and tell them that you can make money from bitcoin in different ways. Then definitely they want to learn about bitcoin because money is the only thing that force people to doget anything. Children loves gaming so you tell them they make bitcoins by playing games.

Bitcoin is difficult to explain. I also felt difficulties in understanding bitcoin for the firs time. Let's share how to explain bitcoin to children of teenagers. In My country I can say 98% children don't know bitcoin. In fact, bitcoin can be future money. If the children not familiar with cryptocurrency or bitcoin, how can they face the digital era in the future.

I oppose to this idea since this generation that teenagers or children are more exposed to technologies and gadgets. I guess its not that hard for the millennials to comprehend bitcoin. Lets say for example in minecraft, 90% of the players range from ages 6-18 years old so its really not hard for teens not to understand or know bitcoin especially that they are now exposed to modern technologies.

we should be the one who needs to teach them im every aspect of earning bitcoins. Tell them that it is easy to earn if they are really interested and determined enough they will earn more than they are expecting, if they can be online and surfing 24/7 a day they can earn also in online thru bitcoins. But tell them that do this as their past time when they are finish in their homeworks.

Its hard to explain the bitcoin in children because some of them are not interested, but in teenagers maybe not too difficult to explain because they have much knowledge to about the importance of money. Its better to explain it to teenagers because they know the expenses.
To explain them the bitcoin first I will introduce the bitcoin and I'll tell the advantages and disadvantages. Then, I'll give them some videos in youtube about bitcoin to give them more knowledge about it.

yup its true, the children only wants to play but we can introduce bitcoin to them by playing some games that give rewards for bitcoin. and i think there is many of games like this so we can download it, asked them to play while we can explain about bitcoin to them. but we don't have to explain until completed but we can explain the basic of bitcoin so they can understand and in future, they can learn by them self.

There are several games that give bitcoin as rewards. Only a small amount can be earned through it. Kids should not be motivated much to use bitcoin, because kids won't concentrate on other activities. They can learn slowly at the right time, teenagers can be explained and suggested to go full on bitcoin, as in future everything takes place through digitalized technology.

I don't see a reason to explain bitcoin to children, in that's age they just know that mom and dad pay for everything. But teen aged people are starting to look for the ways to have their own money and bitcoin can be very good option to them. I would explain bitcoin by making parallels with gold, bitcoin is called as digital gold, so I think this way of explaining is the most easy and clear. Next I would bring a teen to this site and could help him to create a profile here. I count commenting for a campaign as the best source of free bitcoins whee you really need work and may grow and the result depends only from you and your work here.

There are kids that need money too since not everyone's rich. And there are kids that just really want to do something instead of following the crowd and browse facebook 24/7. I've never heard that bitcoin is usually called "digital gold". Maybe it's because digital gold is actually a thing, a digital form of gold.

Instead of bringing the kid in this website right away, you should let him watch tons of videos and tutorial first so he shouldn't be a total newbie when he gets here. A total newbie would just post questions and even if there are signature campaigns that accept newbies, they aren't going to accept someone like that.

These are horrible ideas. Obviously none of you have children.

Tell them Bitcoin is like sex. It is very dirty and should be avoided at all cost.

That will get them very interested and they will figure everything out by themselves. No need to explain anything.

In other words, supposed that your kid came home with a 0/100 score in a Math exam. You'd manipulate your kids into studying saying that "Math is like sex. It's very dirty and should be avoided at all cost."? Next day, your kid goes home with a failing grade at Science, you simply do the same procedure. I don't think it would work at all.

If you think of it, it's pretty absurd since not all kids do the opposite of that they told. There are also kids that just follow what you told them. So when you say that bitcoin should be avoided at all cost, they will actually avoid it.

Clearly you are a dumb kid who tries very hard but failing to please your unworthy parents by doing all the things you are told.

Tell them about ways that they can earn some pocket money in bitcoin by doing various bounty campaigns...This should get their attention. I would personally recommend you to leave the kids alone and concentrate mainly on teens. Because teenagers would be able to better understand the concept and would find bitcoin interesting than kids.

Explaining to young minds would be hard specially if they dont have any idea regarding on tech things but if they are already aware on techs then they might easily catch up the learning about bitcoin.Explaining would be effective if you show some video this is effective for sure.

Earlier, I've seen some very good analogy/comparison on how to explain how or where bitcoin
gets/bases it's value from.

It's certainly not enough to explain it all, but say, you're asked how could something digital
possibly have that much value?

(This is one of the points I've previously had trouble with both understanding and explaining)
I've found kprawn's example really interesting.

Quote from: Kprawn on January 08, 2017, 06:21:08 AM

I get a lot of people that tells me, " Bitcoin is a virtual item, how can a digital item be that expensive? "

My answer is always the same, " Do you understand Digital scarcity? " I then offer examples like this :

•Eve Online Revenant Super Carrier – $9,000.
•Echoing Fury Mace from Diablo 3 – $14,000.
•Age of Wulin Sword – $16,000.
•Ethereal Flames Pink War Dog in Dota 2 – $38,000.
•Amsterdam from Second Life – $50,000.
•Crystal Palace from Entropia Universe – $330,000.
•Club Neverdie in Entropia Universe – $635,000.

Source : http://www.therichest.com/rich-list/most-popular/10-of-the-most-expensive-virtual-items-in-video-games/ or a little video,

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUNRl3kAATk&t=8m35s

No, we are not crazy, we just understand "Digital scarcity" and we profit from that. Bitcoin will NEVER have more than 21 000 000 coins in

circulation, give or take a few million, and THAT makes it rare. Wink

Do the math, and see where this is going. Grin

Bitcoin are good but normally users of this are adults already since they are most in need to transact and to make investments.
Kids and teenagers will only be interested with this if you will influence them but most likely they are just interested with enjoying their lives as they are not yet serious with making money. Time will come for them to learn but it's good if they have a first hand knowledge about bitcoin.

Yeah that is true and it is all true no matter what your age is. A user or who wants to be one needs to have a dedication that he/she wants to really learn how to use Bitcoin. Without it your time will be wasted as you are just talking to a man who does not care about what you say. People learn a lot from you when they really want to learn.

Yes and its really hard to explain teenagers about bitcoin as they might not be interested in knowing it at this early stage and they may even find it complicated but if anyone really wants to explain them then he can introduce them with bitcoin games as it may be fun and easy to understand.
