Retiring early with a huge stash is what I think they had in mind. If they didn't cash out in 2017 or 2013 or some other previous date.

I feel some times that I missed the bitcoin bus. The year 2013 and 2017 was like the height of the bitcoin cashout. I doubt we are going to have that period ever again. So much progress has been made from then till now in terms of education and awareness and the number od bitcoin adopters have more than doubled. What I can think of right now as a way to retire early with a huge stash to build something that runs on bitcoin - like a payment gateway or just something huge and valuable to the community.

I think the bus of BTC will always not be missed, though, with each year, more and more people flock into the crypto space in general, so there is that.
I hope you will build something that you described one day Grin

what is really surprising about this story is the fact that he was allowed to teach something to the kids especially one that involves an innovation that is not yet well accepted by most. it is definitely a graded effort Wink

i am not sure how this would have been possible especially nowadays where the parents can be reasonably scared for their child it’s not about bitcoin itself but the thought of a random guy teaching your kids when he is not an authority might come off as a threat.

- If those kids took bitcoin serious or had it till now, they would have become millionaires with cheap dollars.

mate kids do not take anything seriously let alone bitcoin like i said the effort was appreciated but if he taught kids too young they wouldn’t really understand anything

Actually he wanted those kids to have a knowledge about Bitcoin even though they were still very young but however, he only thought them about Bitcoin but I don't think anyone of them invested in Bitcoin at that time because they all literally depended on their parents for money

actually the investment here is not the money but the idea of them knowing bitcoin now and sooner will surely put their money on it.

Quote

and since they were still in school, they may not be exposed about investment yet because all their focus will just be about their studies since they get anything they want from their parents but that not withstanding, now that bitcoin have cleared the doubt of many, it wouldn't be bad if we expose our children about Bitcoin or better still open a Bitcoin wallet for them and either lump sum, or use the DCA to make accumulations for them pending when they have grown enough to take responsibility of their actions and inactions then we hand over the wallet and it's seed phrases to them in their own custody.

there are some student that I come to know back in the years that started investing in crypto even when they are teens .

I agree that he is a legend. He was last active on the forum in 2019. I do wonder where these bitcoin OGs are and what they are currently doing. I also wonder about where the people who laughed at them when they spoke fanatically about Bitcoin, where they are currently doing. I wonder if they eventually invested in Bitcoin or are still stuck with their beliefs against Bitcoin.

It's not simply about parents being scared for their child now, parents practically own the teachers nowadays, and if a student complains about something and calls their parent, the parent usually takes their side against the teacher, which makes it hard for them to actually teach about anything. Let alone maintain any order in the classroom.

Back 2012 when bitcoin was still around $5 dollars, one of us here, which username was/is Tuxavant, Did a legendary work in the history of bitcoin to teach bitcoin in school. He taught BTC Bitcoin in his son's school, before then he already tipped his kid's teacher with a whole bitcoin but back was just a few dollar but now with the current value i think be gave out a huge amount.

My Opinion about this project

- If those kids took bitcoin serious or had it till now, they would have become millionaires with cheap dollars.

Great thread mate, although you can’t blame the kids for not taking Bitcoin seriously why because there are simply minors who don’t control anything other than what they think.
I’m sure some of them would have thought this might be something good but lost track due to childhood while others would have been finding the fun side but blaming kids for not foreseeing Bitcoin as a good investment is just wrong.

Bear in mind that right now outside this forum there are still a lot of well thought multiple degrees having individuals who still consider Bitcoin a scam created to enrich the rich and it’s almost impossible to tell them otherwise or rather for them to have a change of heart about Bitcoin.

This is one good thing about knowledge and understanding, that is having proper understanding about what you are doing and your destination point. The Bitcoin enthusiasts like knows what the future of Bitcoin will bring about and he didn't mind what kind of criticism that would have followed suit, this shows how people believed in Bitcoin and today he has been proven right about his vision and the spirit that was behind his teaching of Bitcoin to the school children. Never take every information for granted, do research because you won't know the one that will be a life changing opportunity.

Tuxavants took a bold step in making sure bitcoin gets to everyone during the period when there were lots of naysayers, he is indeed a legend that deserves to be celebrated. Where ever he is right now, I believe he will be happy seeing the success Bitcoin has achieved since it was created and the successes of all those he has mentored on this Bitcoin journey. Only if the kids he taught back then in 2012 took what they learnt seriously, they will be millionaires now. I also recommend that schools adopt this same approach and teach kids about this global gift satoshi blessed us with so the kids will not have to learn at a stage when they are supposed to be benefitting already.

When you read the whole project you will find it convincing to award you kids with bitcoins for the future.

Indeed Tuxavants historical path is amiable but personally to me, aside reading through that historical project, my intentions on Investing in bitcoin is to utilize it for immediate goal and then I still have a vision to invest for retirement up to heredity that my future children would grow up and take it over after I would find productive potentials in the bitcoin on why my future generation should also play along with it.
I am still a beginner with a little holding garnering within the market premises until I can testify the goodness in this bitcoin industry.
That too is a tendency that I am gifting my kids with my bitcoin.

Wow, that's some story right there, and I have never known about this from back then.

What's surprising for me in this story is that he was invited by the school management to teach kids about Bitcoin because at that time, in 2012 or back and forth a couple of years, people used to be against Bitcoin and they used to think it is a Ponzi scheme or maybe something that normal people shouldn't use. Even after so many years, people were still not much into Bitcoin, it was later that they realized how big of a mistake they'd made by doing this.

When I first came to know about Bitcoin, the mainstream media was doing their best to show Bitcoin in a negative light so that people wouldn't use it, they used to call it a criminal currency and a bubble that could burst any time, and that bubble is valued more than $60k now.

Yup, the work that he has done before is continuously done by other Bitcoin enthusiasts nowadays and it's not something as new that they're able to do.

But then, there is a root on when and how it all started.

And as for the haters, I doubt they changed their posture either, since for what I can tell most people are not really rational on their train of thought, so even if you could demonstrate something beyond any reasonable doubt, if the conclusion went against their beliefs, they will reject your conclusion no matter what, so I suppose many of those people still hate bitcoin to this day.

Many still no doubt about that.

But I think that the narrative has changed and it will continue to change as well.

This forum serves as a portal for historical events and I think we really need someone to analyze old posts and create an infographic of many of the events that have not been highlighted. Thanks @OP

My pleasure! happy I could do share something impact here.

For the historical events that happened within the forum , I have been on that, that's how I got this this thread but it seems hard because there are multitude of post here and figuring out the successful events is much of a work. I might do more work on it, but for now let's hang around.

It's really nice seeing these old advertisements that contained WeUseCoins.org and LoveBitcoins.org. They signify whoever made the ad was a very early adopter.

I still see some old people from 2010 and 2012 wearing avatars like that here, but they are not longer active, Sad. They did love bitcoin but time flies.

As for the kids, I still have the same thoughts. How did they turn out? Did they allow the teachings on Bitcoin to influence them? What have they been up to with regards to Bitcoin?

Those early investors are probably doing fine, after all it would be very rare for a person to be that enthusiastic about something, and then that passion disappeared all of a sudden so they got rid of their coins.

And as for the haters, I doubt they changed their posture either, since for what I can tell most people are not really rational on their train of thought, so even if you could demonstrate something beyond any reasonable doubt, if the conclusion went against their beliefs, they will reject your conclusion no matter what, so I suppose many of those people still hate bitcoin to this day.

Here's a passionate Bitcoin supporter. Thanks to these kinds of people Bitcoin successfully grew despite the odds. They're the heroes of Bitcoin.

During their time, it was probably hard to promote Bitcoin as it's an alien technology. Children hears and learns about it but could also forget about it shortly thereafter because there's not much way to interact with the technology outside the classroom. Today, I guess many young children could have already heard about it or encountered it somewhere even before somebody could teach them about it. Moreover, there's so many ways to spend your Bitcoin today.

That was long ago and I was still not into Bitcoin but that time but with such noble act when the world was against Bitcoin, he was there to teach in his son's school.

Nowadays, we see a lot of advocates from the forum are going from here and there and to different areas where they conduct Bitcoin sessions that teaches kids and teenagers and any age of it about it.

He's a legend, they're legends, everyone who does this is.

It take legends to spot and identify the opportunity and future advantage of bitcoin and most importantly having bitcoin as a form of asset savings for your kids make them more equipped to face whatever financial inflation that my hit the global finances that could affects the values of future assets values.

It's good to give those close to us some form of education about the importance of bitcoin and how best to hodle along the line and also holding bitcoin for future sake.

I doubt there would be any major or ground-breaking innovations in the coming years except some here abd there with AI now that openAI and other firms are pushing the limits. So I think opportunities has been covered for now. And yes, I second the idea about passing our knowledge to people that don't know because information is power. Even though that man in the story OP gave, paperhanded his bitcoins, and his impacts on those kids or people around made them buy tons of bitcoin, he might even get rewarded. The same goes for family members.

I genuinely feel that information and knowledge itself is made available for the sole purposes of sharing with others close to us.

They're probably somewhere out there doing fine with their life and they've probably outgrown the need to be active in this forum because they don't have the time anymore to be active here, regardless of what's happened though, it's a mystery to us that we shouldn't be obsessed about. When there's no update on what happened to these kids, I guess we can't really know for sure what's really happened after that discussion made by that legendary dude. Regarding what those students are up to, I'm hoping that most of them are pursuing a career or passion that's technologically inclined, other than that, it's the same with Tuxavant, it's going to be a mystery until an update happens.

- If those kids took bitcoin serious or had it till now, they would have become millionaires with cheap dollars.

Considering the time at which the user did conduct this seminar or teaching classes for first graders, I would say the user did such a good job especially with the level of information that was passed approaches used and haven’t got so much influence to have been invited over by the school to teach this new technology at the time. One piece of information I did enjoy from the shared link though was this:

Quote

Bitcoin is a new kind of money. It's not just digital money, but a completely newway to think about money: how it is issued, how it
is stored, and how it is transfered between people.

It was simple but, one way to redirect thoughts of the young once towards a more open and accepting of the new era that was to come.

While I might not take the users having to teach for a major achievement, the real achievement would be in the students the user was able to win over and what they’ve been able to accumulate over the years after that lecture. The user didn’t just teach them, also pointed means to mine and sites to visit to get Bitcents and Bitcoins.

That’s a term I don’t knew to exists though, Bitcent! I suppose that’s where the Satoshi of today comes in to replace that.
