Topic: Teaching children Bitcoin is not in vain - page 10. (Read 1726 times)

Bitcoin is an ultra-specific niche subject. Kids less than 10 years old or within K-12 are way better to learn an essential school subject. Your idea is absurd since it presumes that the education system at its root is already perfectly suited for kid nowadays. That is where it is wrong, within the educational sector, it is way more essential to research and develops more suitable pedagogy.

Bitcoin as a specific knowledge should come later into the mind of kids. Early awareness of what is bitcoin all about doesn't significantly imply they will invest or use a bitcoin, in the meantime.

Telling children about bitcoin will not be a problem, because there is nothing wrong with educating children with positive things, one of which is by telling them what bitcoin is.
but when it comes to investing, it's not time for children to think about things like that, children are only required to study.

I write like this, because I experienced childhood of course , and I think that when I was a child I tended to play more, go to school, and not think about how to make money, let alone invest.

The age you stated here is too early for children to learn bitcoin, they may not find it interesting to learn. If you give a child of 10 years money it won't be of any value to that child. I think the best time to teach a child about money is when the child is get to understand how valuable money is. Before teaching a child what bitcoin is their things concerning finance the child is supposed to  get aware about like not to accept any financial offers from strangers which can lead to scam.

Your closing sentence looks good OP.

It's true that we need to introduce Bitcoin from a young age based on our current experience. There is something that makes me perhaps different from you that I am teaching children how to save and keep their savings safe. The savings I teach are not in the bank but in a small object that I bought. I am also teaching them how to make transactions every time they buy something. The purpose of doing these two things is not to expect them to become millionaires but to be able to buy the things they want. Whether it's toys or other items like clothes.

Teaching Bitcoin to children I think has age categories. If the age is still under 10 years, of course it is not an option. However, what we know about the greatness of Bitcoin such as security and the transaction system is what needs to be taught in a different form when they are under 10 years old.

Modern children learn new technologies much faster and it is enough for them to tell in which direction to look and they will figure it out for themselves.It is important that they themselves show interest in cryptocurrencies and not force them to understand new terms.I don't have children yet,but when they are at a conscious age,I will definitely introduce them to such a concept as Bitcoin.

Introducing Bitcoin from a young age is indeed a good thing in organizing their future economic system. On average, a good age to be introduced is when they are still in junior high school or when they are 15 years old. At that age, their minds are actively accommodating every new thing in the midst of their routine as a student who is learning.

We need to do stages in teaching and introducing Bitcoin to them. The first stage may be about the importance of investing for the future and how to maintain the value of the investment before we explain how to transact and others. For me, it only needs to be explained when they already understand the purpose and purpose of investing.

Every experience is important for a child's development. If you do not let you children have some childhood experiences, it can affect their development and transitioning into another stage in their life. Do not be in a hurry to teach your children about bitcoins, expose them to the knowledge in a very friendly manner but do not make the mistake of forcing the knowledge on them as it can affect their development in other areas of their life. Observe and know your child so you can know the best time to be begin the introducing bitcoins to them in the most friendly manner that they will be able to accept it. Telling your children about bitcoins too early can be a problem as not telling them at all.

If you're here or studying this in order to be rich, then the mindset is wrong in the first place.

Bitcoin is a "P2P electronic cash system", not a "get rich quick scheme". So your efforts to learn it should be in the direction to use it as a payments system (i.e. currency).



Unfortunately, public schools still believe its the parents' responsibility to teach the children about financial topics such as personal finance.

So this is mainly because of the money, "Being a millionaire" I think this shouldn't be the first thing we put in our children's minds. Children should be allowed to grow and do children's things while you as the Adult figure out the adult-like things. Even at school, children are thought according to their levels and not because we know statistics as a subject is good we put them through that at that age. Bitcoin is still quite young if you ask me so why think noticing Bitcoin now is already late?

In addition to the fact that bitcoin is not yet recognized by the law of many countries, bitcoin is not a knowledge that everyone needs, so the introduction of bitcoin into schools has not been done. You may find that even in bitcoin-friendly countries or countries that have legalized bitcoin, it has not yet been included in the educational curriculum.

I am also in favor of teaching our children bitcoin, but we should not force or teach them when they are too young, all of that will not work, teach them when they are ready.

There is no wrong in teaching the children about Bitcoin. I mean sharing knowledge is great. And yes children are always eager to learn new things. So definitely we should teach them how Bitcoins work or what Bitcoins have the impact on economy of the country. But I am sure that as Bitcoins are not legal in many countries, so yes for that reason, no school will teach about Bitcoins officially by going against the government. As like you teaching the children about money management, tell them about Bitcoins also in the similar manner.

In my opinion, this hat is not much different from this topic.
However, in my opinion teaching children about bitcoin is not an obligation that must be emphasized to children at a certain age, we must have the right phase and time to provide an understanding of bitcoin to children so that children do not misunderstand bitcoin. There are many other and fundamental understandings as capital to live well and correctly to become more meaningful. I really agree with the concept of teaching children about bitcoin but it doesn't have to be focused, you just need to teach it slowly and gradually and over time they will understand what bitcoin means.
And I don't think we should forever talk about bitcoin = rich but I think bitcoin = freedom.

Teaching them about finance mostly in Bitcoin is really good for them because it can make them successful in handling money, but the problem is that kids are always kids; they tend not to be interested in it and they just want to play, which is why there are only a few kids who are sure interested in it. You should also select those kids that are interested in it and not force others, as it is useless if you force them as they can't learn either.It should be also interactive and not like the same how we introduce it to adult.

This topic has been discussed a few times before, I don't see anyone who doesn't want their children to know about bitcoin, but there are many opinions that it is inappropriate to teach bitcoin at an early age. I also agree with those opinions, teaching them about bitcoin early is not necessarily more effective than teaching them when they are old enough to understand. The important thing is whether they are really interested in bitcoin and whether they want to learn about it. That's the most important thing because if they don't like it, then as much as we teach them, they won't absorb it.

Maybe 10 years old is not enough to know about the more complicated ins and outs of bitcoin but you can teach them the basic lessons about bitcoin. And once they are old enough, you can teach them about investing in bitcoin so they know it is important to prepare for their future. And once they reach the age of maturity and are ready to work, you can teach them about bitcoin and altcoin trading so they can start trading crypto. This will give them the opportunity to make money and if they focus their attention on trading with more learning, they can make a lot of profit. But you shouldn't force them because everyone's way of life is different. You simply teach them and then it's up to them.

I think it's very important to teach kids what bitcoin and crypto are because this technology is here to stay.

This is the 5th time I'm using quote button to respond to someone's suggestion, i note that this is best way responding to question one by one. I'm grateful for learning and continue learning from others

I don't need to surgacoat my point of view. Why i made the point of Bitcoin it's because bitcoin is a technology and they will be another systematic ways of making Bitcoin more valuable in future, teaching children how to make money it's not bad but it can change their narrative and also make them not to diversifying their narratives.

The children age i mentioned is from 10 years above, not below 10. Teaching children of financial literacy from earlier time should be considered from the parents, if the parents understand their kids very well you can impact knowledge of financial literacy on them, Because some children get discourage and deviate from  your plans for them because of much exposure with money.

Theirs no difference between money and Bitcoin except it's can be differentiate from our respective countries. A child never get ready for anything, it's the duty of the parents to give a child clue and if the child don't want to with your plans you allow the child  to make it's choice.

It assume that Bitcoin / cryptocurrency is a future currency and it needs to be learn and pass  the information to our children's because of relevance in the society in future.
 

If everyone is a millionaire, then there will be no point in these millions. The main advantage of millions is that can afford what others can't.

Bitcoin can't make a millionaire with an investment of a hundred or a thousand dollars. Those times are behind us. Now, to become a millionaire at bitcoin, you need to have a large amount of money.

It is necessary to educate children bitcoin from the time when they begin to contact money for the first time in general and best of all, as part of teaching the basics of financial literacy, as Scripture writes.


Knowledge of bitcoin will be useless on its own and therefore, it should be part of the financial literacy training section.

It will be best if you don't just speak to children in words, but show them with your personal example and actions.

there is already a similar thread about this  If we will about to teach our children if what bitcoin is all about and yes the response is somewhat different from each others , while we are in bitcointalk ? more of the people still don't wanna put their child in early stage about bitcoin.
so my stand remains , I will love my kids to learn about bitcoin the first thing they open their eyes lol.

Screw Bitcoin. Heavily prioritize investing and finance in general. Knowing Bitcoin wouldn't matter at all if the kid doesn't even know how to save money or to be smart with finances in general.
