I actually think it would be easier to explain Bitcoin to kids than older people, since younger generations are naturally more familiar with computers.
You need to explain the saving/ investing aspect first, which is something that should be taught at a young age anyways.
I really wish schools did a better job of explaining basic economics/ banking/ investment.
That is definitely something teenagers could benefit from to help them in the real world.

Yes indeed kids nowadays are very advanced when it comes to technology. This would help the kids on how to manage their allowance and how to spend it wisely. Most kids are often buying toys or anything they want if they have money and that's a given because kids like to play but if we teach them how to save money rather and make some investment I think it would be very beneficial for them especially for their future.

This article doesn't talk about bitcoin but it got me thinking how to get kinds interested in bitcoin within the context of appropriate money management lessons. Think of we could teach kinds about it. The growth, the adoption, the inflation and retraction. The allure of the "internet money".

...what other ideas come to mind?
Teaching kids with bitcoin is really hard for them to understand things with bitcoin first if you are going to ask them if they really interested to learn about bitcoin currencies but if there minds is not yet fully developed then they like thinking that bitcoin is a fun games and they can really lose money at the end.
Why would we teach our kids in bitcoin when it does not help them at all, I think bitcoin is only for matured people as we know how to do it right when we transact online and we consider this as investment, kids have no job therefore they have no money to buy bitcoins.
I don't know the other they want to teach their kids to know more about bitcoin and i think they can really help them out using this coins and they become matured when they using bitcoin? Using methods and to know how to manage money with bitcoin i transact online and gambling also but kids know how to gambling then that's very wrong.
Yes, knowing bitcoin will not be a problem but using it in wrong fields must be a very big problem for the kids as similar to adults. Knowing bitcoin for the purpose of gambling will never be a good thing, that might spoil a child's entire future.
But get practicing on saving money in the form of bitcoin must be the very good thing for every kid, we must teach that to them.

I think that as long as the child did not ask about cryptocurrency, he does not need to talk about it. But when interested then we can say that this kind of kind of money

That can be the right thing, when a kid is not just aware of something like it then we are not supposed to push them towards it, but it would be our duty to tell them about it when they ask themselves and you see they are really interested in it.

One suggestions here before that caught my attention that I agree is that you give your kids a bitcoin wallet with fnds inside and let him explore the internet with bitcoin related sites. Also,teach him how to cash out in real money.Hope this will get his attention.
Lol i think it would not be done, a small child may be understood when they play on the internet but I'm not sure they could make a purse, let alone use bitcoin?

I could work though. But i don't think kids can simple buy something, they all prefer playing online. So if possible just let them earn some bitcoin while playing.  There are apps that allow users to earn, I just can't remember.  They won't simply use their coins to buy something wasteful since they did some hard work for it.
Something like agar.io clone or PvP games out there and don't let the kids plays with your money (they can be easily addicted because it's game like I've said earlier) , but this is not the good choice to teach kids about bitcoin , for kids is the play-time so don't bothering with earning now.

I can teach my kids about bitcoin through joining signature campaign first so that it may enhance his/her skills of idea communication, as well as sharing thoughts about bitcoin and other digital currencies which they may interested with most forum topics. Well, i will explain to them bitcoins advantages and disadvantages then the importance of it to our lives specially nowadays young kids doesn't have ideas of managing their time and if they learn bitcoin maybe they will find time how important time management is.

Forced labor is prohibited and child forced labor is disgustful at that. On the other hand, If your kids get quickly banned by someone like Lauda for posting gibberish, they may have a lasting psychological trauma, and you will regret your decision many times later. It is interesting though how many of such kids have already been banned during the purge campaign that started here recently...

But you can always use the threat of making children post here to scare them into obedience

Introducing signature  campaigns   to your  kids would be also good  but expect that they would know nothing  on  general  rules on this  forum and in campaigns they  would surely be  banned so easily and as  you said this  would   affect the  kids and  give trauma instead. Better  the thing  you  must   do at first  is   introduce  bitcoin  if they got  interested then explain  further  more if they cant  get   it enough then  maybe a later time.

Well, you're right. I guess knowing bitcoin too heavy for them. Well, most kids love to play on the internet, and even play games. we may only need to direct them to be interested in bitcoin. Well, adults always play trading, and it will definitely make the kids were not interested. so, maybe you could start with a game that produced bitcoin, it may make them interested, especially if they make money

Teaching kids about bitcoin is just like teaching them how to eat properly. It's either you are going to show them how to eat properly or teach them how to spoon feed. In literally speaking with bitcoin, just show them how bitcoin really works as an online currency and curiosity will just come out to their mind and they are the one who will discover things about it.
But teaching them how to eat and teaching them about bitcoin are two different and far away methods from each other teaching to eat just involve simple and normal methods but teaching bitcoin involve to teach them about the technology and terminology involved in bitcoin for which normal education is compulsory about which you may know that how much struggle and time it require.

Well I think giving them practical knowledge is best way to teach them how to use bitcoins. Helping them to create first bitcoin wallet and giving some satoshis as gift would work well in order to get started. Make sure you are not giving gift every time, teaching them how to acquire bitcoins by offering skills, services or goods is the best way in my opinion.

Most kids dont give a darn about money, if you tell them about bitcoin, they are going to think thats something they use to buy games for the arcade.
Seriously, this world is to obsessed with money, let kids enjoy themselves while they can, running around playing games, money is something they should not be
concerned about at such a young age.

These types of list articles are so useless in my opinion, they are just used to generate webpage views and have no information that can actually help individuals. They are just made for the ad money.

Lol I thought this would be the pros and cons, what do they (children) do with bitcoin? shopping or work, it's certainly not a place for small children right? so I think a small child is not old enough to use bitcoin dude #imo, they quite know what it is about bitcoin, only that

i do not think that bitcoin is just for mature people so bitcoin can be use kids because bitcoin is future currency and if we teach to kids about bitcoin so it will be good in the future for kids.

Kids these days like to play online games so they may be able to like games or maybe the huntercoin (HUC) which allows users to earn coins by playing the game. by then you can teach your kids to exchange their HUC to bitcoin in polo. This should give them the idea about bitcoin and trading in the process.

Teaching a kid about eating is your fundamental duty while teaching them about bitcoin is totally unrelated to that, you should teach them how to do the things around them but you should not confuse them by putting something infront of them that they can never see nor can touch, let them grow older and understand it themselves, it would be easier for them.
