Limited in number. Limitless in potential.
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.
Yeah it's so difficult to explain bitcoin to a person who don't have the interest to earn, but if this person is so interested to earn online and to help her/his self I know he will understand what bitcoin is. I shared a lot my ideas and experienced about bitcoin to my classmates, relatives friends online even in real life but its too hard to tell them so all I did is let them search and read from google what it is and show them a video how bitcoin works.

Need some spare btc for a new PC
I don't think someone should try explaining bitcoin to children, I find that the best way to tell someone about bitcoin, try to explain them btc, is when tht person wants to earn his own money or is already earning and is maybe interested in something else.

first of all bitcoin is a big jote to take for childrens but anyway if they can take a basic idea of money then they can take the basic of bitcoin too but only a basic and secondly we have to give them live preview by buying some coins from banks and exchanging them into faint too this will prove their querys which they are not goin to ask freely

For me kids won't have any kind of interest with Bitcoin during their age. While it depends on the kind of teenager, mostly teenagers likes to spend money on things such as Video games, shoes, and toys, they are not into saving money or even investing it that much. But if they are willing to listen they will learn and will get the use of it. Young teens investing early will be rich by the time they are in their 20's.

Kids won't really have an interest in bitcoin, it's too complicated for them to learn about this, and most probably they would learn to use it but never value this thing. About teenagers, well, nowadays, they are more into going out and hanging out with friends and spending money, so it will be hard to teach them too about bitcoin, except if they are from a family who needs extra money for a living. Teenagers are more into new tech, like what you've mention, and I think they will learn it easy if they are interested.
I think it depends on which country the kid is living. Most teenagers in first world countries don't need to earn money by themselves since their parents are already giving them money to spend on things that they want. Teenagers on third world countries would choose to save their money and even work to earn some more money so they can help their parents. Other teenagers doesn't want to depend on their parents so they would choose to work somewhere and may be interested in bitcoins.

To teach anyone including teens and children anything about bitcoin you will need to teach them first about money, and how it really works, the history of money, gold, fiat, and at the end bitcoin

If you begin to acquaint the child with bitcoin then it should be done only in a specific form that was not only understandable, but also interesting enough, otherwise you can get the opposite action, but if the time comes that the children themselves will learn and understand.

My uncle's son is 14 years old and he used bitcoin faucets to earn money for his next big toy.  He only earns a little bit at a time, and you know faucets such a slow and time waste, however he thinks of it as money and continues his work. The more he gets, the happier he is.  So explain it to them as money, just explain the general difference between a few different currencies and how they work. When they will see money in bitcoin they Erik definitely use it.
, It's funny inspired story about your nephew, I totally agree that we should teach children about money and how bitcoin related to it,
Of course how children response depend on their age even they are better learners than adult. Children will happy to earn even a little bit of bitcoin that they consider as money to buy toys.

In general yung guy get even smarter than adults. The fact that young people today grow up very quickly and have enough interesting things on the fly and old people just watch them doing crazy tasks. And so with cryptocurrency too they will do better then us, Perhaps we can not worry about that young people will be without knowledge but they will be definitely smarter

Yeah i couldn't agree more with you, the teenagers have more interest with something new, even if it can give them money maybe the teenagers will more interest with bitcoin as well.
The teenagers learn easier, maybe they can handled some way to earn bitcoin such as trading nor signature campaign.
Start From simple way to earn bitcoin before enter on complicated ways such as invest or make business with bitcoin.

In a fairly young age, I think it is not necessary to hammer the head of the child, because it may be a backlash and we can get the negative effects that the child I want to receive the information about bitcoin even later.

it's showtime
I don't believe that children or any child under the age of 13/14 should understand *everything* regarding BTC. I believe that more teens need to understand money management better, but that's another topic.
I don't even think any of us knows *everything* about bitcoins. However, we can easily search it on google and find out about it. If you're going to explain bitcoins to anyone, you don't have to make them learn everything about it. The basics is only what they need in order to continue going on in bitcoins. Other things cannot be taught and can only be learned through experience.

I saw a thread here in this section about why bitcoin was created and saw a lot o stupid awnsers.. And those people are using bitcoin so I don't think people know too much to use however knowledge is a gift!

If we take into account that I met with bitcoin, and as I began to study the issues related to cryptocurrency, I can say frankly that I can not explain to the child that nothing of what is already available, even to me.

I guess that 'everything' should be all about the good things in bitcoin and you should teach them bitcoin easily but don't forget the things that might get them serious for teaching them bad things about it. It is good if you will teach them and add some knowledge about bitcoin to them, but teaching them to work with bitcoin, I doubt about it.
just let them know that btc can give them some extra cash if they already knows how to use computers and android device, btc  can be understand by a person that already have knowledge and understand computers and already knows how to play with internet.

Things to impart knowledge about Bitcoin lessons to children is something that is a bit difficult. because children usually do not understand the financial world in their minds. they usually if it is in the computer room. most of the children are always playing games on the computer. so if you have an online business like bitcoin telling little kids it would be difficult for them to understand.
