Best way of explaining is using the gold analogy.

But I think explaining it to a person in his/her early teens will be quite diffiicult. Best to wait till the person reaches late teens and then explain

Yes ,it is so hard to explain to them especially if they are not interested to waste just like 2-4hours a day spending time to bitcoin .
But its easy to explain if the teenagers are openminded with business and money and they know how value each money that goes on their hands

You just have to help them open their mind. Explain thorough, I know it would be difficult for them but with your help they can in time. Don't just let them to explore this on their own they might have seen it in the other side but rather introduce this to them step by step especillay when you havr siblings.

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.

for children, you can teach them by playing or using cartoon movie or 3D art in video that looks fun, then show it to them. I think children love such thing, so probably they will be interested in watching it. so when they watch, you just need to explain some. it makes your explanatiom easier.

It is going to depend on how big is the IQ of the child or teen you are talking with. If his IQ is quite high and good then for sure no matter how hard or easy you are going to explain what bitcoin is, he can just simply understand it easily. But if that person has a very low iq, no matter how good your explanation is, still he will not get it.

Tell to children play some internet games that pay Bitcoins. They will have fun and earn money at same time. And teach them to use faucets, so you can have a little extra income without make effort on faucets... It would be like a human bot.

And to teach all the rest, just show them how this works. Create a wallet, make some transactions... Easy to explain to anyone, that is why I like Bitcoins. Anyone with some informatic knowledge can start using it without problems.

A high number of teenagers use bitcoin (comparing the age of 30-40) and explaining to them is easier than explaining to a 40s person, but for children it is a bit more difficult since they don't know much about the digital money besides their virtual game coins.

i think bitcoin is one of currency,it is not necessary to explain bitcoin to children like USD, RUR etc. they should not give time to any other activity without their study , they should give time only to their study.

no i disagree , when you introduce bitcoin to anyone no matter it's a childern or teenagers or even old people
there would be an influence to the people around
for example when you introduce to a childern that you can buy a game online easier using bitcoin
you don't need a bank accounts or to have an age over 17 etc , then they would start to ask their parents , and the journey to spread bitcoin around your places started.

When you deal with children that means minors, you need to be very careful as with bitcoin they might get into illegal activities and my compromise their future. We know how risky it is online and they can even gamble online although kids are not allowed as because of bitcoin we can hide our real identity. I believe bitcoin is not good for minors.

Just watch them closely in using bitcoin as parent
Educating someone about bitcoin knows no age , you just need a proper and easy sentences to make them understand
As mostly the problem in explaining bitcoin to common people especially an underage people is on diction.
They think bitcoin created and usable for a tech savvy only if you did not explain it properly .

You lead and I'll watch you walk away.

Based on the vernacular of the average forum member, I'm fairly certain the Bitcoin user base is mostly teenagers and children.

To tell them bitcoin in a word that they will understand, we need to consider their thought, stage of maturity, in what activities they are interested and use them to trigger their interest. If we can know their minds then it will be easier to tell them about bitcoin in their own "language". One example is telling them that bitcoin is a kind of "token" where their favorit toy or console game can be bought by bitcoin and that they can get bitcoin for free if they are willing to do some task and they can buy their favorite console games if they have earned enough.

I would start by showing them my bank's online account.
They need to see the incoming amount and the expenses recorded online.

Seems a working plan but for adults or for those who are earning/managing funds. Teen agers or children are living totally in a different world which is completely filled up with full of dreams. Yes, just a fantasy world. So I believe, we need to target them by showing them some imaginary way of having better benefits from bitcoin investments

They need to understand that money does not grow on trees or magically appear so they can buy the latest gadgets.
Teenagers are very internet savvy these days - you would be surprised when you realize how fast they can get the concepts.

Tell them a brief history of bitcoins. The benefits.. the ease of use and the potential since it is a deregulated currency.

But it's actually very likely that that 'journey' will stop right in that situation. When he starts asking his parents money for bitcoins, they might think that he's getting scammed by someone on the Internet. Thus, the news about bitcoin will stop there. People will always think that money + internet = scam no matter how much you convince them. Most people are closed minded. You have to show them some actual proofs before they believe you.

Make them learn the ways they can earn money. Be watchful. Read them on what they are really interested on. Pick that up. Be with them until they are settled with what they are doing. Teach them the ups and downs in the beginning itself so that they control themselves in crossing the limits and not fall into issues which will bring a bad name to the teacher as well the student. Be more encouraging.

Its much easier to explain bitcoin to a teenager vs an old person who knows nothing else but fiat. Children are fresh to the world the concept of money is strange.

Yeah, explaining bitcoin to a teenager would be an easy task but doing it to an elder, who even has no idea of what Internet or an iphone is, and to children, who don't have enough knowledge and real life experience to understand bitcoin.

older people are so resistant to any kind of change and they tend to stick to their old ways of doing stuff.

but newer generations which are the children and teenagers are more acceptable towards newer technology and the even like it more.

I don't think so.
In fact, I really think that teenagers or children can understand Bitcoin much better than older generation.
They are born in digital age, with Internet and they are very open for the new technologies, ideas and projects.
Also, they learn much faster than elderly people and I really don't think they will need much explanation about Bitcoin.
As soon as they see benefits of Bitcoin, they will adapt it.
I don't worry about this point at all.

Yes, I agree with you. They would understand it as much as they want to. Teenage nowadays was advance when it comes to net surfing and they explore more in internet at an average of 27hours a week, or 4 hours a day (research said). And I think it would be better if they will explore here rather than spending time doing online games.
