He did not copy any of my post, I just corrected him for him to be able to give the students more accurate information about bitcoin.

Great job!

This is what the community/society  need out there, catching them young on the knowledge about cryptocurrency and the way forward about the phase our world is gradually metamorphosing to.

Am sure this is part of the objective of the founding fathers of this forum, and as such it's a great feeling seeing people like you using the privilege gained here and giving it back to society.

This is great. Absolutely wonderful. You did a great job OP. You have really created an impart in them. I strongly believe they would never forget the experience so sudden as they grow. It is something that is part of them now which they would grow up with and live to tell the story which you would forever remain in their hearts.
Now if I may ask OP how do you get them engaged so they don't forget most of what you thought. As you can see, they are little children that would mostly need to keep practicing what you taught them so they can be perfect band fluent in it. Come to talk of it most of them as I see can't afford a mobile or Android device.  I think you should have a thought of it.

OP you took great steps in your mission to educate your students about bitcoin. The extra effort of spending your own money to make this lecture possible is admirable. We are from the same country so I understand the value of the bitcoins you spent, there are so many things you could have done with that money but you made a sacrifice for education. The school and the community will not forget your contribution to make your students prepared for the future of money and tech.

I am speechless. Don't know how I should appreciate your adaption. Very rarely do people adapt Bitcoin from their own pocket. Although earning from signature it's hard work money. You spent it to adapt Bitcoin, it's a great job man. The more important thing is your students learn perfect things related to Bitcoin from the beginning. So they will be blockchain experts soon if they have good intentions to learn. Keep it up bro and best of luck.

You've been great at your job so far, bringing a new initiative into the educational curriculum of your local school. Although, one of is of major concern to me as I see it in the sample photo on OP and that is, it clafly looks like those participating in the lectures are minors. There might be adults and young teenagers but, am not sure minors are ready for this.

Most of all, I like the passion you've taken towards ensuring that these grassroot generations of your locality grasp what is of importance for there future development and the fact that you've taken steps to ensure they get it freely and have some first hand experience with the way it works is what have even drawn the elderly to participate in your class.
Keep up the good work mate and be sure the result of your efforts today would be recognised by your people in years to come.

A very big thumbs up OP, and I must thank you for the passion you are putting in seeing those kids learn more about Bitcoin, as an individual who is also enthusiastic about Crypto-currency I think you have pushed me towards doing more, I have already started to speak more openly about crypto-currency now even if i am not from a crypto-currency friendly country I believe if we can each try to reach out to as many people as we can we can change a lot.

I applaud the OP magnanimity who really wants to spend his money to buy a laptop for other people educational needs, so far we, especially myself, may also prioritize personal needs over other people's interests, especially regarding matters related to money, but what has been done by the OP is really great and he is willing to spend his money and time teaching poor kids which I think is free education.

This is an interesting effort op had made and it is very interesting to know. It is not that easy for op to use his campaign money to get a laptop to teach his pupils so they can learn how the Bitcoin works and those things that is necessary to know about the Bitcoin network. This is a bold step by op to pass the knowledge he once got from the Bitcoin community then passing it to his students is a great move that deserves an accolade.

Everyone won't be having the mind to spend money to educate others. What OP have done is really a good thing and a must needed one for the growth of bitcoin. When it is being taught to the school kids automatically the growth of bitcoin will begin from the base which is a much required one for a healthy growth. Looking at this my mind thinks of doing some good deeds with the campaign payments than losing it gambling on the same day.

I've been following your previous threads and all I can say is continue to be a great advocate for bitcoin and blockchain technology. It's very rare for someone to use his own money to educate those young children, wishing you more strength so you can teach more students in coming school years. Let's hope that someone there will follow your footstep and continue what you did for the future generations.

NotATether. I am very much grateful for your encouragement and support. When I saw the merits. I was speechless. God bless you for the support you have render to motivate my spirit. And also those who have merited me should be blessed.

Good job. I always appreciate people taking their time and effort to advancing Bitcoin adoption, especially if they spend money for it in the process. Here is your well deserved 50 merit.

The goal of spending time (not wasting) with financial literacy is to build up the most difficult concept to accept which is Time Preference. Time Preference is a key component for understanding why trading is not even close to the best options of subjects to teach. I can argue/explain why, in the most humble way. No troll, no irony or sarcasm here.

A sound money such as Bitcoin, will make way more sense once we understand the concept of Time Preference because this concept is what makes people to think more about the future than about the present. And as we are yet at the beginning of Bitcoin, we need to focus our efforts in teaching and rooting this concept into our future generations, as soon as possible. It's known that we tend to be lazy whenever we can. It's known that human kind is easily driven by greed, corruptible by greed, etc. We need to change this mindset the sooner the better.

Time Preference can counter this mindset in the mid/long term. And if you teach it to youngsters, I'm sure in 10 or 15 years, we may have a way better generation than ours, which is filled with corruption, greedy bastards, state control, a complete assault to our privacy, etc.

To end my small (good) rant, Time Preference is a concept that measures how much we discount on the future in detriment of the present, meaning that a Higher Time preference will make us to discount way more our future in detriment of the present. Maskes us to want to get a smaller satisfaction now, than to wait some time to get twice (or more) satisfation in the future. A Short Time Preference means we discount little in the importance we give to the future, allowing us to build a stronger mindset that enables us to hold ourselves tight and wait some time so that we can get the extra satisfaction later!

Does this makes sense? I hope so.
A very clarifying example was a study made by someone (a documentary I watched sometime ago) where the authors of the study invited a few kids of several societies/cultures and several social statuses and made them all a proposition. They were given candies, 2 to each kid iirc, and they were said that if they didn't touch the candies for somthing like 20 or 25 minutes, they would have twice the candies after that time. But they were also said they could eat the candies whenever they wanted, if they wanted. Guess what? Only 2 or 3 out of like 15 kids were mind strong enough to hold their horses and wait for the extra candies. All other kids couldn't hol themselves and end up eating the candies before the dealine.

So it's said that the kids that couldn't hold themselves and ate the candies have Higher Time Preference becaause they discounted way more on the future than the kids that held themselves and waited long enough. The latter are said to have Lower Time Preference because they discounted little (on the importance) of the future, which meant to have extra candies!
And another important fact, it's also said that Lower Time Preference is corelated with higer inteligence, but this claim, I can't backup becaus eI don't remember where I read that. Maybe it was in Bitcoin Standard book or in Fiat Standard book. Can't remember!

You're such nice fellow. It's a good thing you decided to share you earnings and idea with the society. This will actually go a long way to making the people know about the world of CRYPTOCURRENCY and its potentials.

That is so amazing, for me i just use my campaign Bitcoins to help my family and get along with the everyday life till I do get a full time job. What you did was very noble, I do think that these students are definately going to remember you their whole lives, according to social constructivism the knowledge and ideas are shaped by social experiences as well, which mean you are not only imparting them beneficial knowledge but you are also giving them a lifetime of experience and using IT technologies acts as amazing manipulative to enhance learning. I wish you all the best ! Congratulations on being an amazing teacher.

Congrats on your Bitcoin classes and I am happy you've bought a laptop for school classes with campaign BTC! It's important to familiarize kids with new technologies, and if there's no laptop in the classroom (and kids don't have smartphones there either), buying one is pretty much a necessity. Boosting the digital and financial literacy of these children can help them create a better future, find better jobs, make more informed decisions about money in their lives. Secondary school is IMO a good age for such classes.

Very cool, well. Wonderful work, I have a really wonderful human feeling when I read this topic, this is a great human initiative from you, to donate your bitcoin campaign to buy a laptop for the children of your village, this is very human and I hope that there will be a lot of good people like you do these wonderful humanitarian principles, you did two great work at the same time first: You donated your money you earned here in the forum with your effort to buy a laptop, secondly: You have published knowledge among the people of your village, this is a great work that deserves all thanks.
I am sure that all members here in the forum are ready to provide help, I am also ready to provide help as possible.

You have really done well, I believe we shouldn't think our kids are to young to learn about cryptocurrency, I think it's better they start learning it from their childhood and they can start making legal money even as they are young, atleast it will help them and in few years they will be professional, they will be financially free, they don't have to be disturbing their parents for money and I believe some will even sponsor their self to higher institution from the money they make from cryptocurrency. That's really a nice idea and you have done well, I believe other people will learn from you.
