I do not have any idea but just to spend your bitcoin wisely.  You can tell kids by saying something about bitcoins.  Its origin, how it is made, who made it.  How does it operate.  How much is the value.  Then you can just keep it and wait for the price to go high then you can sell it.  Or maybe you could put some of it to invest on some good investment sites.  Try to be good by it by not doing some gambling as it will just be a vice.

To be honest i do not think that it is really a good idea to try and teach kids about Bitcoin because they need to focus on other things.
Let them focus and school and sports and stuff.
I think there's about the same thread created in Bitcoin Discussion and that answer is replied to multiple times.

From my perspective, if the kid IS actually interested in bitcoins, then help him try to understand it. Just give him the pros and cons and ways of earning them that they can do. Don't suggest faucets as it will only crush their expectations of bitcoins.

Exactly kids should not be asked to earn bitcoin at this stage and its better to ask them to concentrate on their studies as there is entire life ahead to earn bitcoins.

Maybe give them some small amount of bitcoins and ask them to gamble with it. Once they love gambling, we can tell them faucets, signature and other places where they can earn bitcoins.
Really not a good idea, as kids they should not lean to gamble as much as possible because it is very risky for them and the requirement to gamble is you should not be a minor to be able to manage yourself.
If you are teach kids at the young age on how to gamble, you are like destroying his future at an early stage and this kid will not live the life he should be. No doubt he will become criminal in the future and the problem within the family.

He may not become criminal but if he starts gambling at this early age the he will surely get addicted to it and will always find short cuts to earn money.
There is nothing good it brings to teach a child in gambling, that is not a responsible parenting and instead of learning from your own experience you share it more on your kids.
You are right, gambling will just make your children or kids irresponsible in the future, he should focus on activities that would develop his capability in a positive way.

I think kids do not deserve to know about bitcoin, because bitcoin is associated with gambling bitcoin.

I would explain them that it is digital money with a moving price. I would set up a wallet to them and show them how addresses work and how to get payments and send payments.
For earning, I would probably give them some games to play trough which they can earn some Bitcoins. It would be fun for the kids and good for earning some easy money.

First of all I'm interested in age of kids whom you wish to tell about bitcoins. If it is a teenager - well, then ok, it would be a nice variant of making money to them, but if it's children garden child -I don't see the reason to teach him or her about bitcoin, it's just wasting of time.
I also agree. Because telling too small kids about bitcoins might make them feel funny about bitcoins.
While if you tell to teenagers then surely a big potential in our future community.
Teen has high power to evaluate the something and they can faster in there mind. It will be right age to tell them about Bitcoins as they will take some curiosity to the BTC and with their skill they can go good with it.. But we should know that the kids also should be focused in their studies also..and teaching them to trade with bitcoin can be a good idea too Cheesy

At this stage I will not ask my kids to earn bitcoin as they are kids and bitcoin can be complicated for them, instead I will ask them to concentrate on studies and enjoy childhood days.
i wouldnt like my kids to be earning bitcoins too, well i guess it also depends on the kid age as a kid might be 10 years old but 17 years old also, so such kids should get some bitcoins in my opinion

i would teach my kids by telling them that the price of the bitcoin is going to increase in the future and it will allow them to live an easier life, in this way they would start using it

I think best way to teach them is to create a wallet for them and ask them to buy some digital goods with bitcoin but I am not sure currently it is good for children to buy bitcoin.
I think a kid is not the time to know bitcoin? I doubt they even know about fiat currency of the country or their own Lol
so do not spend your time on things that do not matter like it. I'm sure if he had grown a lot of people will be interested in bitcoin

I think that it is very important to teach kids about how to manage their own money, when they grow up. And bitcoin is a very good gateway to do exactly that, since bitcoin is without a central bank. They'll learn more about the economy.

I think the best way to teach kids about bitcoin is to give their allowances in BTC. Then they'll figure out how the whole system works.
Or maybe give them links to videos that explains bitcoins and how it works in a easier and explained manner. I think children would love bitcoins only if they find it easy to use and easy to earn.

At that age I don't think that they will find it easy, as even youngsters finds it difficult to understand it at initial stage so we cannot expect that kids will be interested in it.

I guess teaching BTC first will complicate the mind of the kids. Teach them your local currency first like US dollar, teach them how to save money, how to invest. It will be natural from that point to see different ways on investing such as stocks, foreign exchange and possible bitcoins

Honestly its very hard to teach kids about bitcoin unless if you are a game developer you can make a bitcoin game and just to give this bitcoin game to kids and i think they will earn even a little bit about bitcoin..
Maybe a game is good idea to provide a general idea for kids but I do not think they need to learn exactly about bitcoin.

I don't think that. kids should learn about bitcoin.. because if we teach our kids about bitcoin at this point they will be more compatible to accept bitcoin when they grown up and come to psychical life.


I don't think anyone would bother making a cartoon movie just to educate kids because that would not help either, the fact that bitcoins is complicated it should only be taught to matured people and definitely not kids.

Making a Cartoon movie may don't worth. but making a game about bitcoin is realy a good idea.
An android game which included with a built in faucet where kids can earn some satoshi while playing. with this kids can learn abut bitcoin even more easily and the developer of the game can also make a good profit.
