I had some inner feeling, that bitcoin and crypto generally is not suitable for kids yet..kids should had different interests than mining difficulty, finance models, PGP and inflation..

I also think as like you...
From my point of view is that, bitcoin is a subject for the kids, they are not capable to learn throughout the bitcoin. I think it does not suit with them. At the childhood, money matter should be kept away from kids, this stage is enjoying childhood and nature. Obviously when they got older then they have to understand automatically....

Teaching kids about Bitcoins is really good idea but hard idea.
I remember back in young age not a lot of the small kids know even how to deal up with money they go to the store and waste the money on candy...
I have much better idea for kids to learn about Bitcoins/Altcoins. Lets create a Altcoin that can be mined by just answering questions like: What is the capital of Germany ? or: (551+412)-31-(41*2) ?
Maybe in that way when they don't know the answer for example for Germany they will use Google and find out and maybe remember it. And so this will make them search more about the world and much much more.
( I don't know if there is any coin like this so sorry for inventing it in my head / I know there was some faucets like this )
It sounds more like Faucet then a Altcoin... Hey but look at XRB.

First let us face the fact that it's already the information age. The kids will not remember any of those things. They will just google it, copy+paste the answer, and then completely forget about it. Except the kid has some sharp memory, then he'll be able to remember it for a time long enough for them to reach the time those information will have an actual use.

As a kid, I used to read a lot of things and facts on magazines. Do I remember any of those? For a while, but now that I'm an adult, I don't recall any of those. Maybe I might recall the pictures/images on the magazine, but now what's written on it.

I just don't see the point of this thing, honestly. Unless the questions are hard and can't be searched right away, then the "mining" process can be done by bots. And obviously you have to give the miners a decent reward since they have to answer a question instead of just actually mining.

well we can't just teach the kids as easy as 123 but we can teach them how to save money, collect money and spent it on right way in just doing that you can teach them the flow of bitcoin and in the right age of them you can introduce bitcoin and they will easily understand it and there are more sucessful than any others cause they learn so much when they were young.

Too small children do not understand all the principles of earnings, we need a suitable age for the perception of such information. Otherwise there will only be a loss of time.

That is by giving kids interesting ideas about bitcoin, what is bitcoin, how bitcoin it is, its useful for what so the kids will be interested about bitcoin ...

I don't think you are seeing it quite right. We shouldn't just be shoving a ton of information into their faces and expect them to instantly learn about Bitcoin and actually enjoy using it. We need to create creative ways of teaching children about Bitcoin. What is Bitcoin, how Bitcoin it is..... Children don't care about any of that stuff with pretty much anything else in the world, so what makes you think they are going to care about it when it comes to Bitcoin.

I guess this won't work out

At least, not in the way you think it should. They will certainly try to find answers in Google or elsewhere but as soon as they find and enter a correct answer, they will quickly forget it. In other words, their primary aim will be to earn money (in this case bitcoins) but not learning more about Germany and its capital or anything. There is nothing wrong with that unless your aim is to teach them geography, of course. To learn geography (or anything), they should be interested in that exactly, otherwise you will be wasting your time as well as kids'

I think we can teach kids concerning Bitcoin with the goal that they won't be oblivious when somebody discuss it. We ought to teach them regarding bitcoin with the goal that they will knew it is a cash and won't underestimate it. In any case, the information ought to stop there since Bitcoin is a confounded stuff that even develop individuals are experiencing serious difficulties the entire of it.

No hard feelings, kids must not involved to this. You must not stop them from being a kid, if you teach them and open their mind about bitcoin/money, they can absorb it easily and not gonna enjoy being a kid. Kids are kids, its not something you can go back if you want to be a kid. Let them enjoy being a kid and when they grow, then you can teach all about bitcoin, tell them about everything you know.

I'm in a situation now where my little sister is asking me about bitcoin. And I told her that she can try to claim satoshi with many faucets. In my opinion, it's he easiest way of teaching kids about bitcoin. Teach them on how they will claim satoshi because it's the easiest way of earning bitcoin that they can learn.

That is partially true because I've started in faucets too, through time when they are not satisfied with the amount they will crave to learn more how to earn BTC. If you're sister or brother have someone average intelligence or good at a young age teach them programming, its a very good background no matter what course are you in.

It is not really going to give a satisfaction if you are going to earn with faucets. But with kids I guess its fine to do that thing for them. And with the progress, kids will look for some other ways of earning in bitcoin so that they can buy the things that they want to own.

Though it is a good idea to teach our kids about bitcoin But weshould take into consideration there level of education as for me the best level to start teaching them is after there high school education, teaching them at level below that will amount to totally not understandable and meaningless to them, they may not be able to fully comprehend what bitcoin is all about.

High school is probably a good time to teach kids about Bitcoin. At that stage in their life, they will actually understand what Bitcoin is and maybe they will talk to their parents about it. Maybe even be persuaded to buy some.

Great idea. Better in school instead of some useless items to study bitcoin and investment management. It will be much more useful for children.

It is not wrong to provide basic knowledge about bitcoin to children but of course with limited capacity and only to increase knowledge only, either by teaching methods through games or via pictures because children tend to like games and pictures

Kids now maybe interested on it since its online thing but they may not able to grasp the thongs needed to really earn from it so let just them play in the mean time.

Can start by teaching some faucet of the android games app, we don't have to direct them to earnings first, point them to the fun and comfort. If directly taught to create an account on this forum will obviously cause concerns about gambling and some things that are very risky about investing.

No need to direct into earnings, later they will realize that they will earn. Teach them the foundamentals, some history and if you know how to program, teach them some languages, and hardware and someware knowledge, kids flexibility of mind is sharp so they will learn. Then they will have a solid foundamentals and will learn how the world of digitals work. Don't chase the money let money chases you. And nice don't forget the fun they really need that, if they are feeling pressured play games.

Is it necessary to teach them?.I think bitcoin is a great platform to trade and investment, also it is providing huge opportunity to create employment, so I don't think that it is not a toy which can be used as a kids play.

Nobody says that bitcoin is a toy. It's easy for children to understand complex things in a playful form.
I believe that children should know about bitcoin. The fact that this is a special kind of money

He just used a metaphor, don't take it literally. He just meant that bitcoin is not a thing for kids. And the way you are saying it, it is like you want to make these kids earn bitcoin for your own good, everything has it's own time, we don't need to push them at an early age. Bitcoin is a digital currency, it is not for a kids to be earning, but it might be a way for you to make your kids graduate and create his own future.

What children like about it is very effective, for how to recognize bitcoin in children such as games example

You can teach them faucets, it looks like a game and you will only need to teach them that they can simply visit some websites and input their bitcoin wallet address and payments will be sent afterwards. Also there are some android games that plays some satoshi's when you joined and play that game, it's better way of introducing it to them.

On the one hand, this is a good way to tell children about bitcoin, but on the other hand children will become addicted to these games and will not communicate in real life.

That's the disadvantage of exposing your children to technology. But as an adult or parent you should regulate them and give them some schedule on when or what time to use their gadgets and claim some satoshi's at the faucet. So that their mentally will not be standing on the technology and they can have a balance social life.

You don't really have to worry about the social life of your kid because it's when they become a teenager when they start isolating themselves from other people. Most kids like to use their iPad but none of them become isolated for that reason. They still don't have that instinct since they don't have any emotional dramas going on in their life yet.

I don't know about you but I wouldn't like my kid to have a schedule when is he going to play on his iPad. You can't tell a kid to play his iPad and he'll start playing. You can't also just take away from your kid his iPad just because the time for playing on his iPad is over.

Not all the kids have the same mentality, I have watched a lot of videos about those kids that are exposed earlier with gadgets. And most of those kids doesn't know how to communicate to people because most of the time, they are killing their precious time playing alone with the use of their gadgets. Parental guidance is still needed with this matter.

We can't convince kids about the earning side of bitcoin, they won't give that much attention because it is not exciting on their part. My way educating people is not by directly telling them that when you use bitcoin you can make money, it's important they understand what really is bitcoin and its basis purpose, everything will follow if information will be properly absorb.
