Yes, I think teaching children bitcoin as soon as possible. I am teaching bitcoin to my child at the age of 13. I think it helps my child to recognize early than bitcoin is beneficial. and stimulate creative ideas for my child to take advantage of bitcoin

I think it should be done together when you start to travel abroad with your children. In this time parents explain children that besides national currency there is others and each country has it's own. During the trip it is easy to demonstrate. After couple of such travelings and introducing with fiat of other countries a parent can mention that there are other types of currencies, alternative currencies, which exists only on the internet. But I think better to talk about it when a kid moved at least to a school already. This period they usually start to care about money and having their own.

There is no age. Any age at which they are capable of understanding is a good time to start. At each stage you can explain it to them differently.

I think it's not about the right age but about the right time. When you can see that your kid is interested in crypto, then it would be the right time to guide them how crypto works. Coz in our time, we don't need to teach kids step by step on how to do things and how things work. They have, and can find, their own ways especially when they are really into that thing. They just need some guidance.

If I am more interested in teach children in the ages of 10 years down due to teach them about money kripto maybe they will gained the income is large enough in the young, and I also like to teach people at the age of 25 or 30 years since kabenyakan from people who was 25 years to the top already understand about money kripto and we are not too hard to teach him to because they’re already understand the online.

No matter what age they are, you can teach them as long as they was interested in earning in their young age. But still, it's better if they're in high school, in this age they have knowledge in saving money, dream to earn a lot of money or wanting to get rich overnight. Grin Learning to do some signature campaigns or do some airdrops in their young age will help them in the future, so if they are ready to engage deeper in cypto world, they would have good experience  it will be easier to them to understand how Bitcoin works, how to do trade or on how investing will making them rich or earn a lot.

In my own insight there is no specific age of a kids inorder for us to teach them about crypto. It is the choice of a child if he is interested enough to learn then teach him. You cannot force a child to learn, even on adults you cannot convince them to join bitcoin if they are not interested.  So,  as long as the child is willing to learn and understand what is crypto, start to teach the basic.

During my childhood I was given certain coins as my pocket money; I was free to decide where to consume those coins; and certain amount was given with the instructions to use that amount to purchase say for example note books; pencils ; pens ; books etc.  But that was physical currency much teachings were not required to deal with those coins but  crypto currency being digital in nature needs extra intelligence to deal with.  The child needs to appropriately trained with usage of internet and certain gadgets to make payments online enabling him purchase the articles they require.  The age can not be decided as a landmark for training them; one child may be intelligent and may learn its usage at very young age say 6 or 8 years but the other may not be so intelligent and may be capable to learn at the age of 13 or 14.  So it will depend on his intelligence.  But at every age he must be made aware about the importance of the  password and the importance of its  secrecy to be maintained.

There is no best age to teach them about crypto. If they're interested in it, of course, have fun with it and teach them all about it. Who know's if they'll be taught about it in school, it's the same situation with filing taxes and other real-life activities that kids ought to be taught in school but aren't.

As long as the child is ready and can already read and analyze situation, as long as the child has a potential in reasoning and has the skills then it is much better to teach them as early as they learn so that they will grow in a world of industry and cn manage to earn money by themselves in the future.

According to me the crypto teaching age should be above 18, because there are chances of a person earning lots of money easily. If a child starts earning lots of money easily he might get diverted from his studies.

i will suggest whenever your child starts to utilize the internet effectively. Bitcoin is all about the internet so anyone who judiciously uses the internet can be thaught about bitcoin.. That will also help the child understand it better as he/she grows

If you take mining as a hobby, something to do together, kids can learn from a very early age.  My kids learnt about it as I did to be honest.  They helped me build the rigs and heat the house!  Several years on, they understand fully what crypto currencies are and the dangers inherent within.

We still mine other currencies and now we use what we mine to play at day trading.  Good family fun.

The early the better don't you think, but if your kid is more interested in playing in his or in her age let them play more and when they get serious in life then you may introduce or tech them about earning in bitcoin....

When it is time the youth will get aware of crypto by themselves, they are smart and they have access to enough information through internet.

The current generation is smart and can digest Technology faster than us (looks at babies using smart phones or tablets)
So I believe that explaining blockchain to an 8-years old kid can work well if you can use simple jargon and clear idea (blockchain as opposed to a centralized thing like the bank for example...)

At least ten years old, when they have a clear understanding on what money is. Or when they actually interested in it. I would suggest do it later rather than sooner.
For me I would say I don't find I am interested in it until I was 15, when I have a clear view what money is and actually want to earn money and catch the opportunity to change my life. if you promote something to a children when they don't have enough knowledge to back up the understanding, it is very possible to make them hatred of the topic

I think bitcoin is easily understand in the age of 9 to 12 is the youngest, although in our generation kids have more knoledge in terms of computer or internet and they can follow well so it's not hard to them to know the use of crypto and some of them someday will use it as their payment in a simple transaction.

I cant tell when is the best age to teach kids. But the earlier the better. If they know at a young age on how to save money and make use of it wisely, we wont be bothered on what future they have.

Quickly better, first tell the easy-to-understand language about digital money, what cryptocurrency, what advantages and disadvantages, then when they are 17 years old, tell more about trading, mining, maybe also about bitcointalk, teach them how to get money from bitcoin, so they will be busy using the internet with positive things like bitcoin
