children are in age where they should be away from earning process,teenagers on other hand should know about technology ,everyone nowadays is tech savy and will understand basic technology nicely so they just need to get aware of bitcoin and cryptocurrencies and other basic stuff related to it for eg-wallets,their way of working,some basic idea about blockchain and rest leave to them ,there more they learn themselves better they will be at it.

Everyone might have a smartphone but that does not mean that they are going to understand bitcoin easily. Bitcoin is a combination of principles of economy and technology. Bitcoin is a little hard to understand at first but of course there are explanations of bitcoin in layman's terms. This way, you can understand bitcoin even without having prior knowledge to it. When I don't know something, I usually just search explanation of it in layman's terms. It makes you understand better because it's using examples and analogies instead of technical words that you are not able to understand.

In the future, bitcoin will become a mainstream thing and people will know about it even if you don't force them to. They are going to learn about it by the time they are ready. No need to separate the youth from the adults, both have brains enough to learn about bitcoin.

Usually "for dummies" books are made my dummies themselves. Just my opinion, since I had a bad experience with these stuff.

Yeah, that's why I search "in layman's terms" instead but sometimes books for dummies are alright. Otherwise they are not going to be so rampant.

To explain bitcoin to teenagers or children is to explain directly with practice, we must say that bitcoin is the financial future and we invite him to make a wallet and visit a site that can produce bitcoin.

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, that's right, it is difficult to explain and at the beginning, it will be very hard for them understand what it is. They have zero knowledge about it so it's not quite surprising. For me, I just explained the basic things, and deliver it in the best way that I can then respond to their questions that I can manage to answer. The rest, I tell them to do research online if they are really interested in it and I suggest the best sites where they can find useful ideas for them to understand it more clearly. But I guess teenagers will pick it up easily especially that most of them today are becoming tech savvy because of our modern world.

Teenagers are now easy to understand about technology but Bitcoin I think many still do not understand. I just explained to them what Bitcoin is and what it's worth. But I did not explain to them how to get it I just suggested to them to read more details about Bitcoin in google. You will understand if you learn about it yourself.

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.

My thoughts exactly. The best way to explain to teenage children what Bitcoin is is showing them the places on the Internet where they can learn about it. Two weeks later they will be explaining to you what you don't understand about Bitcoin.

Exactly. I think hands on interaction with bitcoin transactions is the best way to teach a teenager. My little cousin has about 0.5 btc I gave him a while back and I am sure he is still saving it. I got several of my family members into cryptocurrencies!

Though bitcoin is very difficult to explain to children and we both experienced hardships on it, we must be positive still in doing it.
specially if we want them to be successful in the future.

I won't waste my time explaining to children because they are not interested with bitcoin, they will grow and mature
and bitcoin will stay so I guess it's better to wait for the right time. Now, let's focus on making money and explain bitcoin to our friends that are matured already.

Most of the children don't know about bitcoin but if children is my son and when we give a gift of my son's birthday , i will give him a bitcoin gift then my son ask me what is bitcoin i'm just told him it is a coin as like coin chalk let but this coin not for eat it is only a real coin as like dollar, if you want to buy some product you can use this coin instant of dollar. So that is very simple to explain teenagers or children.

Bitcoin is a great gift and if you will teach your son about bitcoin before you transfer the bitcoin then it is better. Teaching them first on how to manage their money in bitcoin and what are the things that they can do in order to either get the money from bitcoin or make it grow because of the sources that they can get work on. Bitcoin is like the precious metals that costs too much and it is better to be safe in managing it by teaching them first.

I actually think it has been even difficult to understand all about cryptocurrency to us (adults), because we were use to another way to see money and finance. But for teenagers, they were born with the technology, so it's easier for them to understand all about IOCs, because thats how money works. More thant be worried about how children/teens can learn about it, I believe that the main sector of education should still be the adults. For them the ways of making the learning and spread the knowledge, should be creative and easy to understand.

this is very interesting, inviting children and teenagers to join and teach them would be an easy thing. But many children or teenagers from their little ones are used to playing games, little by little we switch and tell for their future. we give the spirit or even later we give a reward if successful (to get them interested first). And we teach them slowly.

Kids are pretty darn smart. Explain to them that Bitcoin works better than Paypal as "Internet money", show them how to use it, and offer them part or all of their allowance in Bitcoin so that they can get a good feel for it. (The only caveat here is that there really could be some parental controls, but this could maybe be solved by implementing some decent Internet security and "whitelisting" certain Bitcoin-related domains?)

If the teenager or the kid is interested to use or adopt Bitcoin it will be very easy to explain how Bitcoin works to them. Kids are very techy now a days they can manage using the internet or any high tech device.

I think bitcoin is not for teenagers or children because it is hard to understand and difficult to learn. Honestly it is already hard to explain it to adult, what more to teeanagers right? And I thinks they should focus on their school first. Just let them wait until they are in the right age.

It depends on many factors, many teenagers can be very responsible so this is a person I will be interested to teach bitcoin to him, but there are many teenagers that are very immature that do not know anything about life with people like them I will not waste my time at all.
