Kids want money. Kids may not understand how Bitcoin can be money for them. Will Bitcoin ever be taught in detail in school? Kids who read this book, can understand the new blockchain money, thereby preparing themselves, better, for the future. Since kids are our future, why have them focus on the banks and fiat? Get them into Bitcoin and altcoins so that they are well aware of the simple means to keep the fiat Ponzi out of their lives. Then, as they grow up, they will bring down the banking Ponzi by not participating, all because of what they learned in this book.

Look at how long it is taking to introduce Bitcoin to adults. You can still walk around and find many people who never heard of Bitcoin. And few people (percentage-wise) understand it. Kids who read the book are way ahead, both for themselves, and for being able to explain it to other kids.

The world is finally going to grow up with Bitcoin, and part of the reason is this book.

Cool

I do agree with you! This book can really make a difference when it comes to bitcoin knowledge specially to kids and newbies. This book can create a great impact in the future of bitcoin and other cryptos.

Few years from now we will be seeing lots of younger millionaires cos of cryptocurrency and this will be the death of FIAT and banks!

Decentralization at its finest!

This is very cool and all, but I really don't think many people who actually know about cryptocurrency will ever buy this book. It seems way too simple, and is probably geared more at the general public who don't know anything about blockchain and bitcoin. Here's a quote from the article that made my opinion:

"Courey explains that a blockchain is similar to a public Google document that’s 'shared with everyone and that can only be edited by buying or selling bitcoin.'"

More power to him for being 11 years old and writing a book -- that's an amazing accomplishment. However, for most people on these forums, I think they're better off just reading through any boards here or asking questions they may have here as well. They'll get the same, if not better, information to work with.

True though this is still publicity. Kids might actually look it up since it they'd see that it was by someone their age. I suppose the writing-style is also appropriate for that age group. We should think of bitcoin in the long run. A lot of the older people today might never get into it. Kids though, if even a fraction of them do, it might have a greater chance of becoming more widespread, not just for trading we are doing now but as currency they'd demand be supported by establishments.

This is definitely true in my eyes -- I think this is catered for the younger population, but I also think that if I were to teach kids about investing in general, I would not talk about bitcoin and cryptocurrency first. I think that after a while, if they're investing in volatile currencies, they could be driven by a "I want to get rich quick" motive which is very hard to break away from and could have strong negative impacts with just a few wrong investments. Instead, I would start off with the stock markets and just basic understandings.

I would, however, definitely find this a good book if it solely talked about the technology behind Bitcoin.

Good thing for that kid and maybe some ICOs will hire him to make an article or whitepaper about the said ICO. Having a knowledge about bitcoin in young age is a good thing because me as a sixth grader doesn't know anything about bitcoin nor how to earn fiat money and just enjoying things in my age.

Sixth Grader Writes a 57-Page Book About Bitcoin

Quote from: https://news.bitcoin.com/sixth-grader-writes-a-57-page-book-about-bitcoin/

An 11-year old named Andrew Courey from Massachusetts just published a book on bitcoin so the younger generation can grasp this emerging technology that's been sweeping the globe. The sixth-grader considers himself an expert on bitcoin, and his 57-page book describes cryptocurrencies in a way his peers can understand.

A 57-Page Book About Mastering Bitcoin Written By a Sixth Grader

Andrew Courey is a middle school student from Massachusetts, and he hopes to earn $20Mn by the age of fourteen. Courey made an agreement with his parents who said if he earned $20Mn by then, he could drop out of school much like the bitcoin millionaire Erik Finman's deal with his parents. So after countless hours of research and Youtube videos covering the subject of bitcoin Courey decided to write a book on the topic. The book called "Early Bird Gets The Bitcoin: The Ultimate Guide To Everything About Bitcoin," is available on Amazon in both e-book form or as a paper copy.

The introduction states:

Today we will be learning about an online currency created by Satoshi Nakamoto, and by the end, you will become a master of bitcoin.

Courey's dad is a tech investor and prompted Andrew to put his studies to good use by publishing a book about bitcoin in a more simplified manner.

"Anyone can learn about cryptocurrencies if they're willing to spend 70 to 80 hours researching every source until they find a couple sources that make sense," Andrew explains in a recent interview with CNBC. "The whole book, in the simplest terms, is very easy to read and simple to understand."
