I think, this is not the right time for children to know about bitcoin because there is no able information for them that could be easily understood. As for teenagers, you should start with explaining them what bitcoin is, then where do bitcoins come from follows. Make sure that they understand the first two explanation before proceeding to who controls bitcoin and how to get started to bitcoin. It will be hard because most of the teenagers prioritize their studies.

If you want to share something about bitcoins to young ones, it is going to be difficult. But teenagers are the ones who will somewhat understand it. Just tell them that bitcoin is a currency. It is an online money. It has value that changes everytime. This value is being converted into the currency of a certain country. Cryptocurrency is the currency of bitcoin.

When I got my own children I would not expose them in bitcoin but if they get an idea or interested on it without my knowing I will let them and assist if they needed. But I much prefer them to prioritize their studies and have their own talent to be developed because education is the most precious thing you can have where ever you go.

My 13 year old turned me on to bitcoin. He is pretty sharp though. It is a good bonding thing me and him mining for it. His 6 year old brother is interested too and probably knows more about bitcoin than 90% of the population.
That is awesome that you have children that are interested in bitcoin and they already know the basic to complicated things about bitcoin. That is a great thing for them and they have a chance to become successful at young age and retire at a very young age too compare to the people who are 40 and above but still working.

you are so right,people in youtube just making an interactive videos about bitcoin and trying to explain bitcoin through videos for the sake of this thing
and teenagers would prefer to watch the videos rather than hearing our boring explanation so I prefer on using videos
Exactly in this modern era teenagers would prefer to watch these interactive videos on YouTube rather than listening to our boring explanation.As the saying goes that "The next generation is always smarter" they will pick up the concept pretty fast, teenagers have more curiosity than anyone.So we don't have to put much effort to explain them about bitcoins,we just need to explain them on how to use wallet and how to keep them secure.Rest they will find out on their own as they have the privilege to learn from the greatest teacher "internet" within one touch of their finger reach.

For me i will not explain Bitcoin to children though it is better for them to know it early in their life but since Bitcoin is unpredictable, It is better for them not to learn Bitcoin and focus on their study because there are better opportunities once they graduated and if Bitcoin still alive that time then that is the time they can learn more about Bitcoin atleast they didn't waste their teenage life.

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.

Yes it is difficult to explain to teenagers or children the concept of bitcoin because at this stage of their lives they prioritize first their studies and also the things that interests them. Even if we introduce bitcoin yo them they will not be interested unless they are already in the stage that they wanted to earn and they wanted to save. But for sure in the coming years they would understand it because most of the kids now are exposed in the internet and they can easily adopt it later on.

In reality teaching, these kids would really give you a hard to time. Since their mind are set to something else. Most of the kids today are not fond of studying and that's a fact. But, It will still depend on how thus the instructor or us (parents) relay the information to their kids. Teaching Bitcoin is really quite fun but let's face it Kids will be kids and Let them enjoy their childhood not thinking about money and stuff. This industry is quite a stressful one and these kids I guess are not yet prepared for that.

Ofcourse it is very hard to explain bitcoin to children or teenager. But if i face this problem. So explain their very simply. I will tell them bitcoin is a currency like usd and other currency. But bitcoin is a online currency. That simple.

Teenagers now a days especially those Millennials are easy to teach. They have their mobile phones always with them as bthe are at pace withh technology. I just introduce to them that is the same as our money where they can also use too purchase online.

Can I tell my child that bitcoin is just like any dollar you earn in that old lemonade game but the catch is you can convert it to real money and you can earn it by working or you can invest by buying. On trading btc and mining it that is a whole different ball game. Hell I dont even know how to mine it.

Yeah it is easy to explain the new technologies to the teenagers or children, you all know how fast they learn how to use a new smartphone, or even they teach us how to use it, so i think that they can understand how it works fastly, anyway, it is difficult for they to adopt it as a new style of life, they dont know what "earn" means, or what invest is, they are only focused in wasting money, and going out with friends, so that aspect of bitcoin can not be explained to them.

no need to explain detail for them. just say it's just like game currency and can send arround the world.
The only issue is that bitcoin is not a game currency, a game currency always stay at the same level and buys the same things while this is not true at all with bitcoin, bitcoin goes up and down and it is subject to the laws of supply and demand.
Bitcoin is not a game currency at all. We all know that it is one the most famous cryptocurrency now a days and most of the trading is done between the international market employers in the form of bitcoins. the best way indeed to teach the children about it to make them enter into the dealings and have some search on the internet about the digital assets like BTCs.

It could be a fun for them as long as the trading or investing bitcoins in business or some other matters are kept for the sake of adults only.

Teenager  must be interested in bitcoin and have a passion of bitcoin reseaching bitcoin subject. Show him or her yoir results and describe all pluses of bitcoin.

Yes, introducing bitcoin to teenagers are not a problem since most of the users of bitcoin are teenagers.  The one who taught me about bitcoin is still in school and that most of my friends who are into bitcoins are teenagers.  As to children it would be out of their interest because bitcoin is not I think designed for them.  Maybe you could just tell them that you bought him or her a toy because of the earnings you made from bitcoin.  But not to teach them how to earn with it.


It might pose a problem since most teenagers nowadays are stuck on the virtual world of social media and they tend to disregard things that seem complicated for them. Teaching bitcoins to children/teenager may be complicated due to its nature, being very complex and technical. I highly suggest teaching alternatives that are still relevant to bitcoin, like explaining to them the value of money, teaching them to save, and showing them simple investments. In this way, they can embrace the idea of giving worth to money, while at the same time being relevant to the topic of bitcoin.

There is always the tendency of them not listening to you due to their nature being focused on the things that give satisfaction to them like playing games etc. But it is paramount that you give them the exposure behind bitcoin so once they mature, they have at least an idea regarding the topic.
It will depend entirely on the teenager, if he is a know it all that thinks he knows everything just because he can use facebook then he is a lost cause, but if he is a curious person then he can learn about bitcoin very rapidly and even begin his journey in his search to make money online.

Just like you had a hard time teaching my teengers friends. so it's really so stressful. Because they do not care about these things. But because I also want them to earn me really. I said it was easy and it would give you a potentially earning 50 $ weekly if you worked hard. So they have the interest that others have been denied, and the others continue it and are now making money.
