It would be a hard thing to do. Above 20's could happen but below that? They dont think much about this currencies yet. Yes they are teaching other currencies in school but not bitcoin. It is not yet in our academics. Getting them to listen to what we will explain will be really difficult, they might if you are their teacher.

You need to teach them while you are working on Bitcoin, first of all, just explain the benefit using online system payment. Tell them bitcoin is the most popular nowadays, explain everything bit by bit over a long period of time so that it becomes easier for them to take in their brain. Ask them out to buy something using bitcoin payment, that will encourage them make, earn, and learn bitcoin.

I think bitcoin will be hard to explain to children. They don't have any concern regarding this. They mind is still immature to think something like this. As for teenagers, it is good to teach them about bitcoin on their age because they can earn an extra income from this.

My mom never told me what cash is and I still know how to use it. The best way to make a kid understand Bitcoin is to let them use Bitcoin commonly in daily life. However, right now it is not age of Bitcoin so everyone currently use FIAT as a main currency. If you want your kid to know more about it, you have to wait about 10 or 20 years later when Bitcoin is more popular on this planet

Maybe it is not necessary to let a kid use bitcoin on a daily basis. And maybe your mom doesn't want to bother you when it comes to money matters that's why she never told you what cash is and how you are able to use it. And I don't think that if you want to expose or let your kid know what bitcoin is, you don't have to wait for that longer years.
Agree with you. If you let your children know and use bitcoin be ready also with the consequence. Your kid might wanting to invest in bitcoin at early age and might swift his mind to instead of focusing in school he might just want to earn bitcoin. It is ok to introduce but don't let him know all at young age.

Yes because not all the time things that we are going to teach with ours kids are going to be helpful at all. If that is abused probably a negative result with occur and if they found out that there are some illegal activities and they gamble freely out of their curiosity and that is the consequence that we are talking about for letting them know bitcoin. Just be prepare for the best and worst.

If the kids know how to earn money easily in early age, it will effect on their education. They lose concentration on their education. And it will impact on your children's future. So better don't introduce them in teenage. After they get matured no need to explain them what is bitcoin they only learn how to make money from Bitcoin through the internet.
in fact we mostly use bitcoin for investment, therefore for children and teenagers it is not important to learn about bitcoin, because they have no concern with bitcoin, and it can really effect their education, but i think we we start using it as currency, then the children and teenagers will need to learn about it as currency.

I think its hard to explain to kids and teenager about bitcoin yes most of them on this forum are student but most of the teenager and kids are playful. The kids plating toys and do not care about this for sure. Teenager also are playful why? Because many of the teenager is addict by playing online games .Teenager is not really open minded about this opportunity those teen that accept bitcoin is open-minded and wants successful life.

I guess, explaining to children is not that good. But for teenagers I guess yes, explain them to use bitcoin to earn extra money to not rely much of their expenses to their parents.
So to explain them I will rather choose to make it on how they gonna earn and their benefits of having this in a long run/

That's true, explaining bitcoin to children is hard compared to explaining it to teenager... Mostly teenagers already has needs that probably not so important to parents that they don't permit it or finance it, and bitcoin could be a way to make them earn money for themselves, so while explaining to them how bitcoin works, it is good to accompany it with a certain small jobs that could really excite them...  Smiley

Currently, there are many sites devoted to the bitcoin blockchain technology and, at the moment there are no lack of information, like 4-5 years ago, if someone is interested in this topic, it can easily be found.

There are lot many websites as well video links that describe the functions of bitcoin and the way it works. So gathering information about bitcoin and the sources to get knowledge regarding bitcoin can be found more as lots of people are learning about bitcoin as well other digital currencies.

The same concern I also have and that is why I will want to exclude children and children to me is up to the age of 18. Anybody after that age, I can that show level of seriousness then I can take my time to teach but the concern is when they are exposed to making some money, the possibility of losing focus is high but at that age over here, one can be held responsible for his or her actions but for me as the teacher, I will put a disclaimer and at the same time set some limits to what I will teach.

Message @Hhampuz if you are looking for a CM!
Many of today's children are seeking independence from their parents. So if they push for such a step, then they will be able to bitcoin is not bad to finance spending money, and maybe even to study.
It is mean that we only need to tell them about virtual money named bitcoin and it can be good investment so they can grow their money from it. I think children's age 10-17 will easily understand about bitcoin.
I have a kid which is 12 years old now and I don't mind telling him about bitcoin, he will not be interested anyway. Most kids under that age ranges will only be interested in spending and investing is not still their priorities since they are still dependent with their parents. Like many have said, there's a proper time for everything, and just tell them when they are ready.

Decentralization Maximalist
My proposal is to explain it with an "analog" example:

Bitcoin is a system where a group of people do the following:

- They create money units and distribute them.
- If Alice is providing a good or service to Bob, then Bob can sign a "letter" that he transfers an amount of BTC to Alice to pay her. The system then automatically transfers the amount from Bob to Alice.
- All the letters are stored in a public place and are visible for everyone. So everybody - Alice, too - can examine the letters (the blockchain) and see that Bob hasn't transferred Bitcoins he doesn't have.

That's obviosly only the basic part (how transactions are done) without mining, fees and double spends.

If the teenager will need money and throw him to the idea of ​​bitcoin mining and real earning money, the child quickly he begins to be interested in what it is and how to work.
likely when people need money and they see an opportunity to earn money come from bitcoin, they would learn to earn money from bitcoin. I am sure of it. because I was a teenager and I do the same thing

For the quality of the learning process of children and bitcoin Blockchain technology, it is better to take time, especially in the school curriculum. Otherwise, parents at home will be difficult this explains everything. Although the house may all turn out much more efficiently than in an institution.
although i am not in favour of children involvement in bitcoin, but still as bitcoin is a currency and in future people will start using bitcoin as currency, therefor i think children and teenagers should also know about bitcoin.

In many families it is the children are more advanced in terms of high-tech than the parents themselves. Therefore, such children themselves and learn to make their own way in life.

teenager is in the fond of such type of thing from which they earn money or they are in the fond of online earning so for this reason i thick teenager is the most easiest person to explain it.
The problem is how to explain to young people how to earn a bitcoin. Of course if you want to and they have a little understand the importance of this technology, then that is another topic of conversation.
