Topic: What age to teach kids about crypto? (Read 2562 times)

In the modern world children are well aquainted with net world; so its better to teach them early before falling for cryptoworld before knowing about it clearl

Bitcoin is the technology, the trend of the future. Teaching about bitcoin is important. I think children today have the intelligence and understanding to be able to perceive and express their views on investing. I think 13-16 years old is suitable to educate young about bitcoin. I will exchange bitcoin knowledge with my children when they are at this age.

I think the right age to teach children at the age of 12 years. Because at the age of 12 years the average child has graduated from elementary school who must know about basic science. We need guidance to learn about the world of crypto, the right way is to explain about the world of crypto on internet.

Maybe when they already know the use of laptops or computers, so they can understand what we describe, to provide jobs that they may understand, so as not too long they understand it ..

I think around the age of 12 to 14 is the best for a kid to learn about cryptocurrency. Until that age, they will develop their sense and understanding about how to survive in this world how to adapt to different situations. And if they started their journey at the age of 12 they are going to explore the whole world and the currency by using it in their daily life. The fact that you have to earn Bitcoin with your skill or investment makes them learn new stuff from the internet (of course that can be bad or good). But that will develop their communication skills and learning skills because they have to build up their skill set in order to earn from the Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies.

I think around 11 years old and above. We should take the education about crypto around high levels since they have more capacity to understand the concepts and principles of bitcoin. through education the youth we can obtain a better society in future because there will be future successful person that we guide towards to a better version.

there is a smart child and there are also children who are not smart, so I think children are not suitable in teaching about Cryptocurrency
let they until the age of at least 15 years for their brain can accept

When they are old enough to understand the limitations of our current monetary system, then we can teach them the value of cryptomony. It depends on each child!

Excellent idea and a great question. Since bitcoin is part of our world economy now, it would make sense to teach kids at the age when they understand what money and credit card are. My guess is that it would be around 10-12 years old, depending individually on child development. Cryptocurrency in general is a very new technology. Kids will be the ones living "in it", unlike those who remember the times "before" and "after". The more honest you are with your kids, the better they understand what you are explaining to them. Draw pictures, explain in simple words, be open about this issue and I am sure your kids will understand the point. One of the best examples on blockchain technology explanations I have seen is this.
Let's say Bob, Julie and Andrew want to trade services (or goods) and want to write down who owes how much bitcoin to each other. Make a piece of paper for each one of them.
Let's say Bob has 10, Julie has 5, Andrew has 20. Andrew mowed the lawn and now Bob sends him 5 bitcoins for the service. The change happens on Bob's piece of paper, Julie's piece of paper and Andrew's piece of paper. This is how blockchain works - everyone owns a piece of paper with accounting information for everyone. 51 % of those "pieces of paper" decide if a transaction happened or not. I really liked this analogy to explain blockchain to someone not familiar with bitcoin.

If you teach a child about crypto you need to teach it to be wise to know and know how to use the computer and of course bit intent on bitcoin because if he or she does not intimidate nothing will happen when you teach him. And it is not fancy to play online games because it affects their gameplay bitcoin they lose focus and no longer understand bitcoin.

I think when a child is already in an age where he knows and uses technology well. Can not be limited by age, but the intellectual ability of the child is quite insightful when it can be taught.

I would teach them around 18 years of age but it depends if they want to learn. Problem with kids is they have little patience for adult stuff and more on playing. They have to know things like earning money first before we go to crypto. Monopoly is a good game to teach them that.

I think the age to teach children about crypto is more than 5 upwards because I think kids over 5 years of their mindset may find it easier to understand and better thought patterns when compared to children under 5 years of age.

there is no age limit for teaching crypto to children because learning crypto does not look at age or what age now children like to play online so I think it will make the children become more quickly understand the crypto world.

The children are still unstable thinking and they just want to play like the other kids out there, I think teenagers who can adopt and be given lessons and beliefs about crypto, dont let your child's childhood be lost cause they have to live the lives of adolescents its a important for his mindset.

Maybe around 10-15  years old because I know that they can understand now what bitcoin is and how to deal with ir

Teaching about crypto at a tender age may not be a good idea as they do not have the capacity to understand about the crypto. Once they enter college or when they are able to understand about the trading, investing some basics about the economics then it will be better to give them information about crypto and how it works advantages to them.

The earlier the better, kids today are very well oriented when it comes to information technology aspects specially internet so I think they would show more affinity to cryptocurrency and trading than the teaching older generations, plus young ones do not have that fear to new things which is a good trait in trading. Teaching them early on how to earn money is a good thing and learning how to trade will also teach them proper discipline at an early age. 

I think that enough to tell them about bitcoin and they will find everything by theyself because google contain almost everything we need to know about bitcoin and blockchain.

Kids is really hard to teach on how to earn money much more if they are came from wealthy family because they are not thinking about financial crisis so they feel no obligations or in general
kids don't have responsibility to commit what is the needs in order to gain profit, but if they reach at the age of 10 or 12 then that is the time to teach them the goodness of crypto and how they do to achieved on it.
