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?

I think the best way to educate children about bitcoin is by making a special game about bitcoin, or also a short video like an animated movie about bitcoin that can explain what bitcoin is and how to use it

I think it is a great idea to start teaching kids about cryptocurrencies in general and bitcoin. However, it greatly depends on the age of the child. I would suggest first teaching kids on how to properly save money as well as spend it. This would have to be the main focus as these are the basics of how to properly use any type of money. I do not think that primary school kids should be taught in cryptocurrencies, but high school kids - definately. Cryptocurrencies will turn to become the main transaction method one day, so why not get a head start?

It's complicated for children to know crypto currencies, they have to know the basic or what really the world is adopting now
so they can compare and be responsible when using bitcoin. They will eventually learn once they are matured enough because if
they understand they might make bitcoin as their passion.

And we all know that it is impossible to be understood by small children, they will not understand the basic foundation of bitcoin, they will not understand fluctuations, segwit, hard fork, etc, even it is difficult to understand by parents though. I thought maybe you could start saying that bitcoin is the same as other currencies, that's not a problem

No, small ones are also capable of getting this things. It is actually up to the way you explain this to them. They're very smart monkeys and their minds are open. If we explain well, they catch the fundamental idea very easily. This is my personal observation.

Of course even though you explain it in detail and detail though, they will not understand about it, they will think that it will be very difficult to understand and very complicated, I've tried to explain bitcoin to my niece, and in fact he ignored it because it is difficult to understanding

My idea is, you do not need to teach them what bitcoin is. The time will come and they will discover about it on their own without our help. Just like what happened to us, because of curiosity, bitcoin comes to us and here we are making money with it. That will also happens to the kids of the future, that's their era the digital currency, maybe in their time bitcoins are more famous than today.

Yes its true. I think they need to initiate first because when they do it means it interest them. When they're interested to this, their eagerness will drive them to learn all about the crypto currency. You don't need to teach them or force them to learn this. Sooner they'll learn bitcoin as bitcoin is popular in this generation.

in fact kids have nothing to do if they even learn about bitcoin. because currently we are using bitcoin for trading and investment and i think kids do not have to do anything with trading or investment. i think they need to learn give full attention to their study, they need to complete their study first and when they complete their study then they should also start learning about bitcoin and methods earning money.

I don't think it is right for them to teach them so early about bitcoin, maybe you could do first is to teach them to know the value of money first because internet is not really good for children, they will got to search unpleasant things without knowing. So maybe it is better to wait your child until they can earn their own money trough bitcoin. Maybe around 16 years old is the right age for them to teach bitcoin.

Internet exposes you to all the unpleasant things out there. And as a person that have been lurking on the Internet for most of my spare time ever since I was a kid, I can tell you that kids are going to search for these unpleasant things by their own anyway. Bitcoin wouldn't be the reason why would would they look up these things but rather their very own curiosity.

If anything, bitcoin might even make them less exposed to these unpleasant things. They can become so pre-occupied with reading things about bitcoin that they have little to no time for searching things that are irrelevant and/or trivial.

Yeah, we are all expose in many unpleasant things when we are browsing in the internet, so when we are allowing our kids to browse the internet, also make sure that you look up into them. They still need guidance and I think in their young age they will be not interested in bitcoin. So, maybe we just need to wait until they become more resposible.

Guidance can be established by checking the browser history of your kid's PC or just installing a software that will save all the logs. But still, it's just a matter of time before you kid will find out that you're spying on him so he will clear his browser's cache and cookies. He will also uninstall the software that you have installed or search for a way to bypass it.

You can also do manual guiding by looking at his PC every now and then but you're not going to be behind him every time. He will still find time to browse things that aren't appropriate to his age. We've all been there. We all know that he can never be stopped from doing such things. He will always be eventually going to be exposed to unpleasant things.

I think it's better to let them learn what's they are being taught at school first. By the time they grow a little older or they start going to university it's no doubt that bitcoin will also become a part of their curriculum and studies so no need to teach them about bitcoin. Our kids I believe will be more bitcoin literate than we are.

Actually, that would be great to teach kids about bitcoin in primary school. So that they are provided a fiscal education during their childhood.

Why to teach them in primary school children is not ready for this and they don't need to understand about bitcoin there are some imporatant things to learn we can't force kids to learn about what they wanna learn they have freedom if they have interest on it then why not.

But do you think children in primary school are ready how did the Americans killed thousands of people in order to conquer a country? Do you think children are ready of Math that they aren't probably never going to use in their life because there's already a calculator and everything can be solved by the Internet? Kids are never ready to do anything. As a matter of fact, the whole primary school system is just a bunch of trivial lessons that they are never going to use in the future.

There's science, there's language, math, history, etc. They don't really need these things. Yet here we are, the school has been teaching the same thing for over 50 years. Bitcoin is something that have given a lot of people a decent earnings while the subjects being taught in school would require some higher education first before you can monetize. Do you think bitcoin should still not be taught to kids?

And FYI, kids are literally being forced to learn something especially in college.

Children spend a lot of time near the computer and are aware of the network and earning opportunities in the network much more than they can tell by the school program.

I do not get it. Why people always want children to learn about money? they suppose to keep money away from children, right? The sooner the know about money, the harder their life will be. Why not let them enjoy their childhood without worrying about things which adults always get problems with?

I now believe this topic is too complex for kids not because of the question of "they will understand it or not" but I am afraid of the other important point. that is where and how will they use this crypto currency. like someone can spend million dollars on something stupid and someone can use these in dark sides and Bitcoin is fully suitable for any situation or method on which we use it.

In reality, children at school receive a very large amount of knowledge, but not in the form in which we have notified. The fact is that the teachers themselves also need to teach cryptography and cryptography, because they can not give full knowledge to children in school.

definitly games. But another questions is how do we teach childern digitialization in general ? The attempt right now in my country is to give every child a tablet in school, but parents are against it ! How damn retarded are they that they dont allow their children to use a tablet/pc in school, but let them play stupid games at home ?

Funny because the "stupid" games that you are referring to are actually needed by a child. They need to be physically active so their mind and body would develop well. Someone who's immobilized right from childhood will be morbidly obese. It's just a matter of time. They are letting their kids play "stupid games" (maybe sports) because it's what people are used to make kids do.

Tablet and PC are great. But little kids don't really need them. I have a niece that's really into gadgets and at a very young age, she's starting to gain weight. You will always see her watching TV and using her very own cellphone, do you think that's a good idea? The parents that you are talking about are probably just trying to avoid this to happen to their children.
