Topic: Teaching teenagers about bitcoin. - page 4. (Read 748 times)

Are you a teacher or just a guest who gave a free lecture on the basic fundamentals of bitcoin? That was incredibly fascinating, buddy. But we really cannot say that businesswomen are not open to new technologies like bitcoin. Individuals in their fifties and above consisting of men and women are not particularly interested in bitcoin. Those teenagers, who are just beginning their development, are considering their options on what degrees they can take in college. We can infer that the majority of them are interested, particularly when it involves the internet.

From the pictures above this looks like my country coupled with the names I am seeing on the board. Well I am very much happy seeing that bitcoin adoption and teaching is really going globally. However I would suggest to you during your next presentation you should make it more practically to the students for them to see and view how bitcoin looks like, since is a computer class they always expect the class to be more interactive by doing it practical where they could feel and see what they are learning.

Thanks for your encouragement and kind words from you all,learning is a daily process. I have always loved to introduce something new to  people around me, especially something that can be benefitted from,in order to add impact to the public positively.

Corrections noted, I love the way,you pointed out the mistakes in my write up,this shows how caring you are and a good teacher at the same time.
 

Well it's a good approach bro, nicely done. Students of this generation have wide range of understanding, so it will be useful to them learning about cryptocurrency now. I actually love the way you took your time and created a whole topic for them. I really wish we have more people like you in my country it would be very useful to get the little ones aware of cryptocurrency. Do you plan on taking them again on that same topic? Cause I know that they will want to see you again and learn even more.lol

Bravo Mate, you have taking bitcoin awareness to the students of BGLA and I appreciate your effort on this. It is a good initiative, because what you  taught them will be helpful to them in the nearest future. They can still tell their friends about bitcoin abs from there, bitcoin awareness is spreading gradually.

With time, I know that bitcoin awareness will get to the ends of the world,and the government might have no option than to accept its adoption,since Nigeria is a country that the youths are good at embracing new technology. Its lovely to see people having the zeal to impact bitcoin knowledge to people in their locality.

Even if you are no longer a student, you are a married person who is never too late to invest and earn profits from Bitcoin. We are still in the early stages of the Bitcoin revolution, still very early and have many opportunities to make profits. If you don't earn money now, it's your fault, I believe even if you know bitcoin earlier you can't have a better life.

What an excellent work, I most commend on your efforts making Bayelsa State, Igbogene precisely a learnable place for bitcoin awareness and for taking a bold steps to start the journey. I have seen many efforts put by lots of Nigerians, from late last year to this year 2023 I have came across lots of positive post made by Nigerian users concerning the wide spread and max adoption of bitcoin has really made feel so great that at least they are really representing very well and also being active.
If we all could evangelize the good knowledge of bitcoin to people I believe the world today will turn out for good concerning bitcoin acceptance and legalizations.

I appreciate your effort in teaching them and encouraging them about Bitcoin.
It can be an excellent way to introduce them to the world of cryptocurrency and help them build a foundation of financial literacy that will serve them well throughout their lives, the same on my side, IMO it changed a lot.

I think it's good also if you encourage teenagers to research Bitcoin on their own and to learn more about how it fits into the broader financial landscape after teaching them and also encourage them to ask questions and to seek out additional information as needed regarding technical stuff (because this is very crucial).  Just be patient and supportive as they navigate this new and complex subject matter.

Keep it up.

your post is very interesting, and when I read it it is very interesting, and when I read it it feels like reading a story in a book, because your post is quite long.

but you are a great person who cares for others, and you do this because of course you want to see everyone progress.
So what you're doing by teaching teenagers about bitcoin is a great and useful thing.

I think my life would changed a lot if crypto was introduced to me back when I was a student.
I could have spend my time on crypto and earn instead of just playing around in computer on my free time and spending my money on games.
I know some students who earn a lot and changed their life through the help of crypto.

Bravo (OP) i could only imagine the Amount of curiosity you have placed in the minds of this students i can bet many of them will have their curiosities quench by going and looking for alternatives way to properly get involved in the cryptospace. I mean learning about bitcoin and cryotocurrency in school is just something different so welldone its a very wonderful initiative. But i think some sentence caught my attention in your write up
i dont know about fiat currency been valueless,  i think thats one of the main reason the cbn has stipulated this recent rules, i mean to give its naira a real value in the market and there is always digital naira and i think they are a couple of online bank which operate fully well in the country too. I mean there will less overuse of cash and alot more of it through online methods of making transfers from your fiat bank and your cards and also there is the mobile online banks for easy transaction. But non the less the initiative is still nice one in addition to the massive awareness and global adoption of bitcoin in Africa and nigeria in particular.

Are they interested in innovation or are they interested in how bitcoin benefits them? I think the two are completely different.
Young people tend to think that bitcoin is an investment asset that allows them to make profit from trading or investing, while only a few of them can afford to become potential investors who have good financial strength. I'm starting to think innovation ends up being the least of the reasons why they're interested, but you already have a good initiative. Keep it up.

You have done well OP. This is a catch them young scenario. At this age they can be able to assimilate the bitcoin technology very fast because they are of age and can flow as it is worth learning. Since it was your first time I know the tensed pressure you must have experienced while imparting the bitcoin knowledge on them. Looking at the students, they look eager and interested in the topic and the technology they look aroused and their attention all focused on the teachings.

And adoption is emphasized by using Bitcoin and to use it they need to buy it from the market.  These kids have little to no capability to buy Bitcoins so knowing about Bitcoin cannot be considered as adoption.  Like many government knows Bitcoin but some of them Ban it.


As harsh as it sounds I completely agree with this.  Though @OP could have presented it better if he just copies what is written on the whitepaper.  I also noticed financial freedom is wrongly used since there is another definition of financial freedom and it does not mean not being controlled by the government


But still great work of having the courage to discuss Bitcoin in front of many audience.

I have had the same initiative from a different user before who may also be from the same country as you. They teach kids about bitcoin, it's school age and also teach some potential traders in church or different places. I've never known what the motives behind this initiative are, but if you really want to teach these kids about bitcoin with genuine intentions, then you have every right to earn their proud title of teacher someday.

It's good to get lots of users taking the initiative to spread information about bitcoin even as they reach more students, but I hope this never gets in the way of their interest in learning what should not be at a more advanced stage about technologies like bitcoin.

Younger people are always excited to learn new things due to the how limited their teaching curriculum can be. They are well exposed and see the things on the internet, they know that there are better things to learn that only what is being offered on their school curriculum. Teaching this teens about bitcoins, you have offered them an opportunity to be exposed and it will have a big effect on them. I hope you can keep up with these teens at least for a few more weeks. I am happy to see this.

Very good initiative you have, and actually you have made a big contribution for bitcoin growth, especially in your city. I myself still can't explain what is bitcoin properly to anyone around me who wants to know about it. I'm sure you did great explaining them. That bottle of wine proving it lol.

Regarding your last sentence, yeah I think younger people are open to any new knowledge, mainly about technology and entertainment. Since bitcoin or cryptocurrency is one of the most important technologies on economy now, of course young people will be interested to know more about it. They might be not interested to invest on crypto, but at least they have desire to know about this thing. Bitcoin also could be related to entertainments, which some brands now accepting crypto for their payment. It makes transaction easier and faster, where people even can send money to other country without any hassle. For elderly people, they will hard to accept bitcoin and its features, unless they work or once worked in financial business, or any economic business sector. Elderly people get used to do traditional transaction with fiat, and won't get bothered to use other payment system nor learning how to use it. So yeah, I think younger people is easier to be taught about bitcoin. Good job, Merit.s. Keep it up!

This is a very great initiative and also very nice of you teaching young minds what Bitcoin is and I'm sure most of them might later get to be involved in Bitcoin or crypto later on in life. But for now I don't think you'll be able to do so many things because of the short duration an academic session last and by so limiting them to what they can learn and I guess they won't be learning just digital currency alone in this session.

But I do commend you for even having to bring up the topic alone that's going to change the mindsets of most of them and if they're curious enough they might start poundering on what lies behind the word "Bitcoin" what does it truly means, is it only just a digital currency, is there any other utility attached to Bitcoin? Those type of thought are definitely going to ignite a spark in them.

Hey, props to you for havin the ball to introduce bitcoin to the kidz at Bridgin Global Link Academy. It's alwayz a dope idea to spread the word about digital currency, especially to the young who are usually more down to try new sh*t. I'm stoked to hear that the students were into yur class and wanted to learn more. And yo, major props for not letting yur jitters get in the way of spittin' facts. That's legit admirable. Your impact on education these kidz about bitcoin is huge, and I hope it inspires more people to do the same.

Speaking of which, I feel ya on the younger generation bein more open to new ideas. Kids are naturally curious and love learnin new stuff, while adults can be straight-up resistant to change. But I also believe that age aint nothin but a number, and anyone can be receptive to new ideas if you present it in the right way. The key is to be honest, open-mindd, and willin to learn. Keep it up, and I hope yur efforts inspire more peeps to learn about the perks of digital currencies.

Good   Good, But C'mon mate too much of all these I taught this and that blah blah blah blah ( Smile's ) I just find them boring and also what I see it's a complete scheme to hunt merit ? lol This can also be done without bringing up here. But props to you on that mate teaching stuff's like this is also the best way to learn as it'll be stucked within your skull.

Man don't give in to people saying you shouldn't inculcate what you have to elders, it's just that in our own part of Nigeria all they see is scam and shit. Here in the community we have a good number of elderly people involved with the bitcoin movement and teaching.
Youngins are much more interested no doubts but Bitcoin is like the bible it's for all to advocate and learn at the same time.

When it comes to reasons for Bitcoin ( Correct man if I'm wrong ) but really you should give them the white paper to read, I'm not comfortable with that information down there.
You should also take good look at your importance of Bitcoin and also the Consequences, you really have to scrap that off man.... That's completely BS! Jesus Christ
