Kids are not that easy to teach because they only want is to have fun enjoying thier life as a kid. It would be much easier to teach if he/she came to a poor family and that kid iknows what is life  and openinded on his state of living.
Yes if the parents are earning well and they are giving them money for their life then kids will not think for to earn money but will want money for free from their parents. They only want to enjoy their life with free money as pocket money from their parents while if they are poor and they know the value of earning money and it benefits for their family then they will not think about their age and will want to earn so they will like to learn about bitcoin if they come to know that with bitcoin they can earn money.

I don't think it is a good idea to try teaching kids about Bitcoin because they need to focus on other things more suitable for their age. Let them focus on school and have fun with their friends. When they become teenager then it's ok to start teaching them about bitcoin as it allowed them to start earning their own money.

Since kids are fond of game, so we should teach bitcoin by game.Some games which give bitcoin as reward.I don't think they will understand bitcoin by technically so we should teach them practically.Like we can make some interesting video about bitcoin and show them.We also should teach them about the difference of fiat and crypto currency.

Kids nowadays can easily adapt what's going on in the environment especially in technology world. For me, teaching kids about Bitcoin is not good, teenagers is okay but if we are talking about "kids" i do not agree, because they should learn something which is more appropriate to their age not like this.
I don't know what it with it all of you people wanting kids to learn "Bitcoin" or even think about it. When you think of it this way Bitcoin is just a kind of currency which gives direct control for the user. Imagine your kids using Bitcoin on wherever they want to spend it. They can now access things from subscription to porn and payment for drugs. Which I know, I don't want my kids to be with.

I think even if they are poor even when they are small at the moment I'm not sure that they will be with you account for bitcoin. because bitcoin has a fairly complicated system and not just any child could understand it
i think the new and modern generation is fast. and they easily can learn about bitcoin, but i think still they do not need to learn about bitcoin, they should give more time to their education because is still using only for investment purposes and when people will start using bitcoin in their shops then they should be teach in their curriculum about bitcoin . but still they do not need to learn about bitcoin.

Just yesterday I was talking about bitcoin and making money from signature campaign with kid of my friend and she showed big interest of that way of underworking. She has 13 years by the way. I think for teenagers who wish to have independency and their own money bitcoin can become good opportunity.

For me personally,I dont think children have any business being close to the world of Bitcoin not because Bitcoin is bad in itself, but because of the various vices they might be exposed to along the line which they might not be matured enough to handle. Among such things include gambing, falling for cheap scams, HYIP sites with exciting bogus rewards among other issues even as adults face in this crypto-world.
yes i think children still do not need to learn about bitcoin, because bitcoin is still used for investment purpose only, and children do not need to have knowledge about investment, they should only give preference to their education.
in fact children and teenagers need to take interest in their education and when they complete their education then they can think about using bitcoin for earning money. i thin then bitcoin will have become more stable and reliable.

To teach something to a kid needs to be fun and entertaining. You cant teach them in a demonstrative way that will make them boring and eventually lose interest on this.Just keep it simple like saying, bitcoin is like Internet money,which has more value than dollar.Its just an example.Morever there are many fun and educational video for kids to introduce them about bitcoin or the cryptocurrency thing.If they find it interesting eventually they will want to know about it more. Good day  Smiley

I wouldn't worry about these things. I've done all of those and I've moved on. Everyone is capable of doing that. We lost our money by gambling and from HYIP sites, and that served as a lesson to all of us. One thing I would worry about is what if the kids started working continuously. If I had the time, I wouldn't do anything else but continue exploring the bitcoin world as this has much more opportunities than the job offerings in my area. People's nature is to be greedy and once kids become exposed to the world where they can make good amount of money, I'm afraid that their greed will eat them up.
Probably, it will change their focus in life and will not value their studies more. Bitcoin is good for kids but must be at the right time and timing. It will exist for long so we must wait for that right time. Kids must be busy with something and that is their studies.
i am also not in favour bitcoin to be teach to children i think children should not divert their attention from their education to investment, it will really effect their eduction alot. therefor they should only give prefernce to their education.

The first thing that would make sense is to teach them how to handle the fiat cash and little bit of money management. If they can understand these concepts, only then teach them about bitcoin. Because  if the cannot grab the idea of finance and money management, it means they are not ready to learn and understand about bitcoin.
Yes, until kids understand the importance of money and effective methodologies  to manage them, I believe we need not to teach them about bitcoin. Because bitcoin is nothing short of money, so simply introducing without knowing the value of it, will not make any sense.

Still I feel, kids are too young to know about bitcoins. Getting them into bitcoin and then faucets might give them some negative impacts like introducing them into addictive videogames, yes it is proven that earning bitcoin is also addictive.

Maybe you explain to them that bitcoin by stating the similarities with use of email. Just like you can use email to send messages to anyone in the world, you can also use bitcoin  to send payment to anyone in the world.

yes i think children still do not need to learn about bitcoin, because bitcoin is still used for investment purpose only, and children do not need to have knowledge about investment, they should only give preference to their education.
although functioning as a currency though, small children would not be able to easily use bitcoin and understand the workings of the bitcoin currency. how to make wallets and so forth. they will not understand it dude

I think any children is able to understand what is money, so they are able to know what is Bitcoin. Children want toys, stuff, and they know they need money to buy that. So they can easily know how to save money to buy what they want. If the child learns it, when adult, this person will know how to manage his money better and will be a more responsible person.

But teaching kids about earning to sustain or buy some toys is not good. Why? Because they will be exposed on working at a very young age, better to teach them on how to play with bitcoins and hide that their already earning some bitcoins and tell them that is in terms of reward and that can be use to exchange with toys, just my cent.

of course in addition to the little child is not able to accept whatever you explain about bitcoin, maybe they just know that bitcoin is currency, for how to get it and how it works. I'm sure they will not be able to know it

Even I do not support this buddy. Earning is not good for children in the school age. Most of the people passing their suggestion about the bitcoin learning for kids. If that possible also don't do it. Then your child will become greedy for money in the earlier age itself.
