Nice!! Thanks!
10 year olds, just like most of adults have no idea what money or currency even is.
They just know they have to work for it and that they can buy stuff with it.
You need to explain them how currencies work. About supply and demand. About stores of value. Then just explain to them that like any currency Bitcoin is a currency as well. But it is better, more secure, more private and has practically no inflation. It is written in code, precisely defined, so there are no shenanigans like hyper-inflation with it done by politicians. Explain to them that it is powered by Internet which allows it to be faster, compare email and regular mail so they understand. Do a lot of metaphors with things they know.
None of them know how Internet works either. Kids nor adults. They just see it is faster and better and they use it. Make a comparison and they will understand.
And if anyone has more questions, great, this is how you dive into details for the ones that are more interested in this stuff.
Better to say too little, then too much. You don't want to lose them, then they will just give up. Explain how it works for them and from what they know, if they ask for more, great,
