There's a meet-up program carried out in my nephew's school, and as the theme of the program implies, "Catch them young." The program is carried out once every year. The purpose of the program is to identify the in-born talents of students, both children and teenagers, usually aged from 9 to 19.
From the idea of that program, I came up with the idea to teach my nephew about Bitcoin this weekend. He is just 11 years old. Last year, in the "catch them young" program, he was identified as a kid with the zest and curiosity for research. He was given piles of books to read and feed his curiosity about science and some mechanical activities taking place around his environment.
He spends his free time reading and watching lots of science videos on YouTube.
If I had known about Bitcoin in 2010 or 2012, I may have had more than 1 or 2 bitcoins by now, but no regrets; gradually, I will accumulate more bitcoin over time.
Giving my nephew the privilege of knowing about Bitcoin and blockchain technology is a really interesting thing I find myself doing today. He's still young, and even if he's not going to invest now, having knowledge of blockchain technology and Bitcoin is not as bad as I thought. Often times, children grow up knowing some important things they learned when they were young. If that knowledge was really good for them, they broadened it as they grew.
I decided to teach him.
1. What blockchain technology is and how it works
2: define bitcoin and the inventor.
3. Decentralization is important to Bitcoin investment.
4. The disadvantage of investing wrongly without full knowledge
I just gave him some primary knowledge, just like a class he would expect to have had in school. I will love to take him through the class some more times.
Guys, I hope I was not wrong to think this knowledge was good for his age. I hope to hear your opinions.
