Tell them that bitcoin is money. And bitcoin is for adults only!
If I were you, I won't tell my kids or other kids about bitcoin because there could be a possibility that they will get exposed to gambling.
That's my major concern.

you're right, children are very easy to be attracted by things like gambling because it will bring them a lot of money if they're lucky and they're usually dislike things that require patience so it's kinda risky to let them know about bitcoin too soon when they don't have enough awareness about it.

Teach them all the ways they can earn money. Be watchful. Read then 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. Always learning do not require more energy but sustaining what is learnt needs more energy and vigilance.

They are not as obsolete as the old generation was. They will quickly adapt with new technology and new information.

This is the point I too believe into. New technological advancements are more attractive to new generations always. Old people will stick with what they already got practiced to use with (also they do believe old is gold). All the above, I strongly believe, on one will be needed to educate teenagers and children about bitcoin ecosystem as demand of modern digital life itself will enforce them to learn.

May be just show the youtube video is could be work. Or they can learning by doing. There is no fast way to explain bitcoin to them becouse it is so complex. Be patient I am sure that they will understand after a few month.

Yes. I always encourage children or teenagers to learn know. Let this be a hard action or a simple one. Because everything is new for them. Its is like a subject they learn. Do we stop then learn a difficult subject in schools? NO right? They should get adapted to all kinds of pressures from the beginning so that they will be well skilled when they are grown up.

Yes. Let them mold themselves from the basement. Either that can be games, studies or anything else. Let them stuff themselves with what they can. Each one is skilled in different things by god's creation. Even a man still learns a new thing every day. So learning does not require age. The more lucky we are, the more we are made known of things. Let every one know about bitcoins. We have very many ways to earn bitcoins. Let them choose whether they want to earn bitcoins by playing games or by posting.

For teenagers I think it'll be easier but for children I don't think they really need to know this, they're not old enough to aware of money and it's not good to let them involve in this too soon because this is still the time for them play not to care about money.

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.

If you can't really understand bitcoin then you are going to teach a kid ofcourse it is really hard to them to understand they need to learn 100% and you need to teach them step by step and the currency of bitcoin is really good but if children going to play with crypto currency and trading. then Well played.

It is right on a first time no one can properly understand the bitcoin, but day to day work we can understand it within a few days.
Also in my country, 98% of our all population don't know about bitcoin, So i can't say that teenagers know about the bitcoin or not. But i think children should do their study, it is not children duty to earn money.

Teens and children are generally adventurous and loves to spend money and also some wants to earn money. If we show them that we can earn money through bitcoin then they will definitely accept bitcoin and start using it.

So we can explain bitcoin to them as it's a digital money through which you can earn money for free. you have to do small small tasks and they will pay you with bitcoin.

Well it's really difficult to explained bitcoin to kids because there mind is not that really matured to understand thing in bitcoin. If you are going to force kids just to let know about bitcoin well thats not good for them just wait them until they going to show some interest on it.

So it is better if you are not going to tell those young ones what bitcoin is. Just show them what you are doing when you are working in bitcoin.

And just let there curiosity ask you when they get interested with bitcoin and just simply plain tell them that bitcoin is also a real money.

But it is just digitized and still you can sell it to be converted in fiat.

IT's really hard to explain teenagers or children to play with bitcoin or to earn bitcoin, bitcoin is really a good thing you can suggest youtube i guess or send them to school instead teaching them on bitcoin there are big oppotunity when there are done studying

I am a teenager. I found myself interested in bitcoin ever since 2015. I know bitcoin while i was surfing on the internet. It is not very hard to explain what bitcoin is and how it work with teenager, children. They are not as obsolete as the old generation was. They will quickly adapt with new technology and new information.

My daughter is 26 and watched me tinker with mining for years. The only thing that she was ever interested in knowing was that if I buy her a card from Gyft she can exchange it for Riot points (or however the he...ck you spell that). She sent me a physical Dogecoin last year for Mother's day :-).
I give the older kids things like bitcoin and precious metals (also.. pocket knives when they're old enough).

One of my nephews is interested in economics so I gave him a framed Zimbabwe Trillion Dollar note with a Dollar bill/ silver dollar framed in front; and 1/10th of a bitcoin in a paper wallet on back. That was several years ago and he still has them all.
Most of the other ones have spent them.

They figure out what to do with those things.
If they know where to spend it, they will find the value in it. If they learn the value in them...they may just keep them ;-)

Well you are giving them a option to save, and search a bit more about bitcoin, in others hands you are give them freedom to choose what they wanna to do with their money, i dont know how to teacth such at home childs are young yet, but they care their money already.

I'm glad to give them the opportunity to choose. Some point out that teenagers today seem to have more technological savvy and will adopt concepts like bitcoin much more easily; I agree.
Us older people have our long standing ideas about money ect so wrapping our heads around something that "seems" intangible (digital currency) as having value is more difficult for the older generation.

Teenagers and children these days are pretty good with technology. If they really want to learn about Bitcoin, they can look it up for themselves and learn about it. There are so many websites that explain Bitcoin.

And it is easier for them to understand digital currencies and concepts because they belong to that generation. Some kids even have more knowledge on the internet than their parents. With this, it would be much easier for them to get the meaning of bitcoin and how it can be used for daily living.

Yes, kids or teenagers nowadays are very smart and i think its easy for them to understand bitcoin if they are interested. as you said their generation now is different from what it was before and some of them are early exposed in internet happenings.

Yeah right! Teenagers or kids now are expose to internet and technology so they can pretty easily catch up bitcoin and understand it how to use it and what is the value of it. Internet is an opensource so they can learn pretty easily unlike before it is very difficult if no one is guiding your or teaching you.

i dont think if child must to know about btc. maybe in future btc will be internet payment but teach about that to our child wasn't good. Wait until our child grow up until 14-17 years old and tell to them about btc. There was my opinion..

If he is child we can not explain them well unlike teenagers that can understand more easily than below teens..
And i think its good to explain for those teenagers because they can adopt more once they are are done in study..
