Topic: Teaching teenagers about bitcoin. (Read 839 times)

I believe so too and I am hoping the OP is able to continue on this part with the students and also hopefully will be able to do a demo kind of live teaching with them too. I believe it is another important aspect we don't see people do much outside the theoretical lessons in the class. Let the students see how it is done live from funding your wallet to buying and withdrawing to personal wallets and keeping login info. I know all this can be thought theoretically but it is just one aspect I believe would also help their understanding.

I agree, we should teach many young people about bitcoin, and what he does and with the limitations he motivates us to not stop teaching about Bitcoin. But unfortunately that what people take from Bitcoin is they can earn big profit in just few days which makes them didn't care about the basic education. 

This is nice of you to teach business women about Bitcoin. Now you are teaching these teenagers and its a a great gift you are educating them about bitcoin concepts.

Education for younger generation is something more people must do. I think this type of financial intelligence can be passed down from generation to generation.

I think the more people who know about Bitcoin it will be the better. It is the future so share your information with as many people ad want to listen and learn.

The thing is that, Bitcoin can be teach to teenagers but anyone who have bitcoin in mind is the one that can move further to research more of bitcoin, teaching them without bitcoin being among of the school curriculum will make the students to be discouraged of bitcoin education, but once the government or school authorities embrace the ideas of impacting the knowledge of bitcoin to teenagers it will likely okay, so therefore I believed that bitcoin knowledge or information will not be adhered to all the students,  my advice to people who is trying to impact the knowledge of bitcoin to people, should try to be selective towards sharing bitcoin knowledge because not everyone will be have the interest to embrace bitcoin.

Its not really that hard on introducing speaking about information since it is something that could really be easy to understand.It is really just a matter on how you do make some introduction and on how you do deliver out those information plus on how you would really be hooking up someones interest to hear up on what you are saying.The best thing that should really be emphasize in is on whats Bitcoin.
Yes, you could also speak about money making or profit opportunity but of course you shouldn't really forgot about its actual utility which we know that they might really that get interested and would focus on its utility rather than into its opportunity but it is really that unlikely.

This is a good initiative OP as teens will always be interested in different innovations especially if it’s dealing about latest technology. I just hope that through your attempt to educate them, they will get clearly the real intention of bitcoin, and not the other way like they will consider it as a get-rich-quick scheme. And hopefully, learning earlier about bitcoin will create more positive initiatives on part of them on how to take advantage and take part on the evolution of bitcoin.

Young mind is curious and that's the reason why they love to learn new things. As we grow older, our mind stick to the nostalgia about what we had before. We don't want to experience new things as we are already dealing with so much in our life. Even though, if a person still got a curious mind in his old age, they will love new concepts too. As human, we are not perfect, but we want to see other things being perfect. So we spend more time mastering what we already know, thus not focusing on other new things.
As their guardians, it is up to us to lead them towards the future and teach them the new things. So from that perspective, you are doing a great job. Keep it up and good luck.

Very nice initiative from you OP. What interests me is, why all the teaching is done in English? Is this normal in your country or is it because bitcoin is a topic for more educated English speaking citizens?
Also what is very important to teach from the beginning is, not how can you get bitcoin or what can you do with bitcoin but: How to safely store bitcoin!

this is a very good initiative. in today's era, young people really need to know more about bitcoin and crypto. Today's era requires us to always be versatile and not out of date. the effort you put in is very good. I hope you are always passionate about teaching bitcoin to younger people.

fighting OP !

It's good to know how you were able to create an impact by educating school students in your community about the new digital currency Bitcoin, because I'm very sure that most of those students, that day must have been their first day of hearing about the word "Bitcoin" in their entire life. And for those who might have heard about it, I'm sure they never knew what it was all about not until today. So thanks ones more O.P, for educating our future adopters and promoters of Bitcoin.

Additional importance of Bitcoin are listed below
    i.  It is borderless: That is, it can be transferred to any one, anywhere around the world.

    ii. It is fast: That is, it can be sent to anyone anywhere around the world with the shortest possible time.

That's a great initiative, young people have a eager for new knowledge, it's interesting to see that teenagers find about bitcoin in many unexpected places too, mainly gaming related stuff and other things that crave to their sense of fun.

I am so excited to read that you tried to be brave to teach these high school students although you were shaking and sweating, but you did it well with your great spirit to spread out about crypto currency knowledge especially bitcoin.
For about younger ones are easier to learn and adopt bitcoin, there is a statistic i read from a crypto currency article that says young people are more dominant than older people, although the statistic is not from data of all country. From this pict you will see that person who are 18 until 24 years old are dominant enough.

this is a very good thing for you to do, because there are very many teenagers today who do not fully understand about bitcoin even though it is a very useful thing for the future, because the world of bitcoin is a technology that will continue to develop and they can use it in their daily lives to make transactions on an item they want to use, Moreover, currently there are some countries that have legalized bitcoin so now is the right time to study the world of bitcoin.

It is true that it is important to educate people about cryptocurrency and its potential benefits, but it is equally important to do so in a way that is understandable and accessible to everyone.
Many people hesitate to invest in cryptocurrency because of its volatile nature and lack of understanding of how it works. It is important to explain the risks involved and encourage people to invest only what they can afford to lose.
It is also important to emphasize the potential benefits of cryptocurrency such as its decentralized nature, low transaction fees, and ability to provide financial access to those who do not have it.
Overall spreading the word about cryptocurrency in a responsible and informative manner can help pave the way for more widespread adoption and understanding of this innovative technology.


Educating young people about Bitcoin can be a difficult task but it is important to provide them with accurate information and help them develop a better understanding of the concept. Here are some tips that may help:

1. Start with the basics: Start by explaining what Bitcoin is and how it works. Give them a clear understanding of blockchain technology, its decentralized nature, and how transactions are recorded and verified.

2. Highlight the Risks: While Bitcoin can be an exciting investment opportunity, it is important to explain the potential risks involved in investing in cryptocurrencies. Make them aware of market fluctuations and the importance of doing thorough research before making investment decisions.

3. Emphasize security: Teach them the importance of securing their Bitcoin wallet, protecting their assets using strong passwords and two-factor authentication.

4. Encourage critical thinking: Teach them how to distinguish between reliable and unreliable sources of information about Bitcoin. Encourage them to find credible sources and question claims that seem too good to be true.

5. Provide real-world examples: Use real-world examples to illustrate the benefits and limitations of Bitcoin. Explain how it can be used to send money across borders or as a store of value, but also recognize its limitations as a form of payment due to its volatility.

6. Monitor their activities: Monitor their investment activities and provide guidance as needed. Encourage them to seek advice from trusted financial advisors or parents before making any important investment decisions.

Overall, the goal is to provide teens with accurate and comprehensive information about Bitcoin and help them develop critical thinking skills to navigate the complex and ever-changing world of cryptocurrencies.

I will always support everything related to education, and if it is about btc, it is something that has much more value, I would have liked that they had told me about btc when I was a teenager because I would have bought it when it was cheap,the opportunities that many young people have that they have education in their schools or that people who are influential and teach them, is something that is priceless because they are making them build a very successful future , it is something that is highly valued.

This is a much appreciable work and it is must for the younger generation to know about bitcoin. Today met with an incident. Three guys of the age 24-28 were in a restaurant. I was in the opposite table. Among them, one is familiar with cryptocurrency and he had been trying his best to make them understand. I saw his showing the difference that have taken place with different cryptocurrencies along with the stock market. Both heard till the last and finally they weren't able to accept such a volatile market. In that situation I understood, spreading the word in the right way is what essential to make the future better for cryptocurrency usage.

I think the challenge in this kind of activity is how to inculcate the learnings into the minds of these teenagers.  Often times things learned in school are forgotten as time pass by.  The current age of these kids I think is far from interacting with the actual Bitcoin economy so there is a huge chance that these kids will forget what they had learned about Bitcoin when the time comes that they are ready to dive into the Bitcoin industry.  So I think there should be a follow-up lecture and a series of hands-on to make these kids more familiar with Bitcoin.   It is also essential to give stress on the importance of Bitcoin and the why's of the usage of Bitcoin.

That's a great job in my opinion, because maybe everyone doesn't do that and cares that much in bitcoin literacy, you really contribute a lot to that, if you imagine when they understand how and what bitcoin is like then teach their friends again, and friends of friends again spreading knowledge about bitcoin and circulating it like a virus will be very effective for accelerating bitcoin literacy in your environment, your country OP.
I also want to follow your steps in my country, but it seems I don't have enough capability to teach like you and sometimes I can't even answer from my friends. Your steps really motivate me, I hope I can do that someday.

Is there a way to teach and encourage your teenager about bitcoin? Our recommendation is that you do it with them. Set up a time where they can take part in a class with other kids on cryptocurrencies and teach them how it works.

Here's the first step in educating your kids on bitcoin: make sure they know what it is. You'll need to have a basic understanding of blockchain and cryptography, or at least be able to explain them in a way that makes sense to your teenager.

Teaching teenagers about bitcoin is not a simple task. Most of them have limited understanding of the concept and can be easily misinformed by their peers who might try to make money on the subject.

Teaching teenagers about bitcoin is not a simple task. They have limited knowledge and may not have much comprehension of the technology and what it can do for them in the future. The key to success is being able to make them see it from an entrepreneurial lens and not just a currency perspective but also one that puts value on their efforts as well

It's true, teenager's are usually more curious and also excited about new things. when that happens, it's a great opportunity to satisfy their curiosity and further increase their interest and motivation regarding cryptocurrencies. However, teenagers also usually tend to be more emotional and feel high expectations. This must be avoided and managed. As they become acquainted with Bitcoin and find out more about Bitcoin, they will at some point find that people are making a lot of money investing or trading with Bitcoin. And finally they try without knowing the basic knowledge and the risks first. Maybe this also needs to be emphasized for these teenagers if it's not that easy to get money from Bitcoin. More things are needed that will affect Bitcoin investment.
