Teaching kids about bitcoin i think no need to do that because they are kids. Maybe teach them if they graduated in high school that is best right to teach them.  But kids maybe its not the time to learn about bitcoin.
I consider it as insane. A kid is always a kid he/she having nothing to do with the profit or loss or to earn or to not. Kids are not responsible for to get a toy or anything by themselves.

Let them be in their own world despite if not you are trying to snatch childhood from a kid which is horrible in my opinion. Everything has a specific time to do at. The best part is after completion of graduation let him know about the forum and let the kid find a way by their self. The only thing that an adult have to do is to guide them to a track.

As a father, I want to teach my children about money and the wise use of it. My father taught me to be responsible, to save, and to avoid debt as much as possible, and his lessons have served me well. Now I want to pass on those principles to my children, but it gets a little tricky in a world where mainstream financial advisors point in the opposite direction, encouraging reckless lending and government bailouts. Enter Bitcoin. Teaching our kids about Bitcoin can provide valuable lessons about money management that will make them successful money managers as adults and help them to avoid the excesses that afflict our current global economy.

In my opinion, its not necessary to each them about bitcoin now. Let them concentrate in studies now. When they grow up they will learn about it by themselves. . For everything there is a specific time period.In the case of kids, their main duty is to study well and not thinking about financial stability. I agree that we should tell them what bitcoin is .  Tell them its money just like USD, EURO etc . Thats it.
You are correct, bitcoin will only be a destruction at their job age and they might lost focus on what is their priorities.
Bitcoin can give them good future but it should be in the proper time and let us wait for that.
i do not think so that bitcoin is going toward destruction, bitcoin is one of the most popular crypto currency and its popularity is increasing from time to time, hope that bitcoin will remain as one the most successful crypto currency and will always remain as active crypto currency of the world. people from all over the world are using bitcoin. they are using bitcoin mostly for investment purpose because still in most of the area bitcoin is still not using as fiat for shopping, therefore they are using it for making money by hold it or investing it in some profitable business or trading alt coins.

I believe that kids should learn about demand x supply and inflation x deflation because this is a good knowledge for daily stuff, not only complex cryptocurrencies. To know that when more people want something, the price of this item usually rise, and how to proceed in this scenario is a good idea  Roll Eyes

There is too much risk in making them known into this currency.
The risk of making their way to porn or to gambling.
So I would rather not teach it to them and let them enjoy their childhood preserving the innocent minds.
There will come a time that they will know about this but not now.
They could play games but not bitcoin games with advertisement that you dont know what will pop out there.

I do not think that children will understand bitcoins to the extent that they understand that these coins can be used in a bad way.
But, I agree with you - the children do not need to know about bitcoin. I do not know why they need it

I think in teaching kids about bitcoin, you should start with a basic.But I believe that computers has a big help for the learning of the kids about bitcoin.Wherein they can create an application regarding the teaching of bitcoin for the kids.

No need to create an application at all since you can simply read about bitcoin online. After all, the application that they are going to create will also have explanations in texts form. Or if you want some visual explanation, then you can watch it on Youtube.

Kids are totally good at computers, but that doesn't mean that they are going to learn about bitcoins easily. Most kids are only good at computers because they always play game on it. The area of their expertise is limited on that and technical stuffs like bitcoin which requires basic knowledge about math/economics will not be learned right away.
I am not quite sure that kids nowadays are only limited to playing video games. I saw kids involved in modding, coding/programming, YouTube-ing,  streaming, earning money online, developing websites, etc. Kids' minds are much more open than ours as they get to use computers and Internet while they are still crawling.

But sure, I will teach my kids about Bitcoin, and how great such a technology is.

It will not be good for the kids to learn gambling using bitcoin and it will be hard to teach kids about bitcoin only thing you could advice from them is that bitcoin price imean bitcoin economy is a powerful crypto currency and then you must explain what is crypto currency and then after that give them a brief history of bitcoin and make sure that they can compose sentences and knows how to answer what is the question.

I think i want to kids the basic and how to learn first about bitcoin, and how to save bitcoin and how to earn easy money, therefore if the times will come they already know how the basics when they grow old and to saving and invest while they are still young. I will teach about a digital currencies, maybe they are willing to learn it, but they are going to study first before bitcoin important is they know already about the bitcoin and basics.

Computer is one of the requirements for a teacher and to the student (kids) because if they don't have computers and they are just like lecturing by writing and discussing without the actual process then it will be hard for the kids to understand how bitcoin actually work because they are lacking in actual experience.

Yes, children very quickly master the computer. Therefore, they will be able to understand what bitcoin is. I'm not talking about the details. But in general they may have an idea of this

perhaps to teach him start after graduating from high school trades leading since that time he will quickly understand her.

Not all kids can easily pick up, just teach them those things that can get by them, the easy ones. And don't force them to learn all things about bitcoin because it might make them disappointed if they will know that it's that hard to earn bitcoin. Make them inspired by those people that get rich because of bitcoin so that they are the ones to know it.
yes i also think that they should give full attention to their education and they should not be any concern with any other activities as bitcoin is mostly use for investment therefore they do not need to have any concern with bitcoin right now.

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 get an idea of ​​disclosure of an article, yes. Everything you said is taught here and / or by experience ...

I think introduce bitcoin to children is not easy, bitcoin is different with real money even though we can use to payments, but it needs analysis for investment bitcoin and there is no guarantee that it would be good thing.

Kids will surely be not interested in knowing bitcoins in their early age as they will surely find it confusing and complicated and they would be much interested in enjoying their care free days by playing sports and games so it would not be the right time to teach them about bitcoins.

I agree with you. Some adults find it difficult to understand what bitcoin is. And this is even more difficult for children to understand. You can just say that bitcoin is a kind of money
