Topic: What age would you recommend the forum to ? (Read 507 times)
I think the said age group is too young enough to be involved into more in-depth conversations regarding cryptocurrency and money thats why I agree not to mention this site as of now theres a lot of topics here that I think only for mature and for the right age only and btw I really admire those young individuals already learning bitcoin maybe they will also develop such kind of crypto with more advance features bitcoin does not have in the future.
The bitcointalk.org forum is a place where other bitcoin and altcoin community members gather and discuss prices, developments, speculations and so on. If someone recommends this forum to children under 16 years old as a means of making money, this forum may not be suitable for them because children under 16 years old shouldnt think of ways to make money. But if the bitcointalk.org forum is recommended as a means to gain knowledge about bitcoin and other altcoins in terms of responding to technological developments then they must be over 13 years old and need supervision and guidance from experts.
Without guidance from an expert, we will only see that the meta and beginner & help are filled with questions that will only make a small portion of forum users ignore them. I do not think that my assumptions are entirely correct, but it is good for children under 16 not to be faced with serious problems such as bitcoin and other cryptocurrency if the primary purpose is to make money.

Cutting a long story short , I’ve been asked to do a short talk at my children’s school about Bitcoin. Their IT teacher is very progressive and gets the children involved in a lot of IT projects, like coding and cyber security and one of my kids mentioned Bitcoin and I’ve been asked to do a presentation.
It will be a 10-15 min very informal intro. into Bitcoin with the emphasis at the end to explore the Bitcoin world by themselves and I will recommend reading material and certain websites .
The age group will be 12-13 yr olds.
My query is whether to mention this forum?
Currently I’m thinking not to mention the forum , but if they find it , then so be it .
My thoughts are that the forum would be more suited to 16 + because of these factors
- scams
- trolling
- bad language
- gambling
I’m sure there are or have been many members under 16 and if possible I’d like a bit of feedback . TIA
This is placed in Beginners and Help , possibly Meta may have been better , but I really want some constructive replies please
This is because of it's being an open forum, if your child is as young as 13 years old you can guide him and close the section about gambling and scams, there is an option to do that, Bitcointalk and Youtube is still the best place to learn about Cryptocurrency, but Bitcointalk is interactive a place where a lot of opinions are voiced out. It will be a 10-15 min very informal intro. into Bitcoin with the emphasis at the end to explore the Bitcoin world by themselves and I will recommend reading material and certain websites .

Most of us can speak both favorable and against the usage of a general internet forum at this young age. I would say 12-13 is a very young age but this is the perfect time at which the adults can induce younglings with far more advanced concepts of technology/science to be quite true. On the other hand, ending up on a internet forum like Reddit or other sites at the age of 15-17 will make the child learn more about such stuffs at a younger age.
I got to learn programming and similar stuffs literally at a very young age (If my memory is true) through practicing Cpp and Java. At later stages, I have learnt even more languages but Java and a little of Cpp was the one which I had a strong command on since I have understood the concepts at a younger age. Apart from these, I have learnt some complex astronomical techs (Lambda-CDM model, radioactivity and Big Bang Theory) at the age of 12-15 and understood about the same quite a bit.
Truly speaking, 12-13 is the exact age for one to learn about a complex subject like Bitcoin and you can keep this forum as a reference to teach your kids. I would suggest 15-17 to be the age at which one should understand what a general discussion forum is and register on the same!

This forum is fit for adults only and members that have further experience in the cryptocurrency and digital world. Imagine having this forum being bombarded with immature people who are most likely to be close minded and war freak. Especially, teenagers nowadays often tend to have short patience and easily lose their tempt. Therefore, never mention the forum onto people that aren't that kind of interested and greedy. Let's make this forum a community of professionals, and never let kiddos aged 16 and below bombard us with their obvious and unnecessary questions.
That's slightly insulting to the average young person. This forum's biggest problem is adults who can't speak English scraping desperately for pennies. One thing it is not is a community of professionals. And many young folks know more about computing than any adult ever will.

2. I personally wouldn’t like them on this forum until they are at a certain age - 16-18 , if they are interested. But I can certainly guide them as I have the experience. On other forums and social media platforms that they use , although we monitor as much as we can , I dread to think some of the stuff that is on the Internet.
Well, to be honest, though I wouldn't personally do it, go with it if you really wanted to. Inviting them to Bitcointalk wouldn't hurt unless you advertise Bitcointalk as a platform to earn money. Like how some people promote Bitcointalk to their friends.
it be nice you talk to them about the blockchain and cryptocurrency but i don't think it is nice to bring them to this forum because they are still underage and will definitely not follow rules. i believe they will liter everywhere including the sections meant for admins and serious disccussion. Kids will always try to show themselves whenever the opportunity is there.
please don't get them into this forum. they might loose focus on what to learn and dive into airdrops and bounties to make money. My opinion.

Again, thanks folks .
Think I know which way I’m going on this
I won’t mention it to the under 16s , they can always find the forum if they are interested - it will be a natural progression.
If I do do a talk to 16-18 group I will mention the forum, but with a good few points of advice !!
Thanks for staying on topic and if you want to start a thread re - pensioners and Bitcoin, May I suggest the subject header -
Bitcoin in the Autumn Years or Orange is the new grey

These days the average 12-13 yr old is watching Tiny Asian Teen Anal Creampie 92 on their phones. I do not see this place as any more of a threat to their purity than anywhere else on the internet. I was quite contentedly watching Driller Killer on bootleg VHS tapes at that age.
Tons of young people that age are into coding and gaming. This is an up and coming area of computer science so it's likely they'd find it themselves anyway if they already had an interest in that. Also the lack of financial education out there seems pretty disgraceful so exploring it should be encouraged.
But I would find it very frustrating to be introduced to it and be effectively locked out of it unless my parents were on hand to sign me up to buy or sell it. I would be inclined to send them to more generalised resources. They'll find this joint off their own back if they get into it.

How pensioners can benefit from Bitcoin (if you think on that), since they are over 70 years old, their ability to learn is much smaller, more difficult to embrace new technologies?
I can imagine them pulling at their hair (if they still have them) the moment the volatility strikes and the extra KYC and 2FA and hassle of transferring from the balance to the personal wallet and vice versa.
Even I myself find all of these a hassle. They most probably wouldn't be able to handle so many things unless they're familiar with trading, regardless of Bitcoin or non-Bitcoin.
Everyone is talking about kids, but the ones who could benefit most at the moment are the pensioners over 70. They are the ones who are being ripped off by fiat pension frauds,
Children are the future, at least that's what people say all the time. Iron is processed while it is hot - children should be taught life skills while they are young, or they will experience the same or even greater problems than today pensioners. Governments around the world extend the working lives of people up to 67 years, precisely so that people enjoy their pensions as little as possible, implement policies from work to the cemetery.

Yes your right but can you take your brother seeing on what is existing here? There are so many scamming,bashing and other form of harassment that can bothered which can possibly depressed them, that's why I'm careful to introduce this to my young guys here since I want them to explore the outside world before going into this world.
But although this forum is a great platform to earn still I it should be rated 18 for some reasons.

I don't think people here should necessarily be 18. Man take a look how sort of "mature" 14-16 year olds are nowadays. 14 year olds wearing makeup and such. But anyway, I wouldn't really want them to be cursed at and such, but one way or another they need to learn that there are really rude people and that there are people with ill-intentions online. I was like 12 the first time I was phished on an online game LOL. Never again happened after that.
Any young man who doesn't need parental consent should be recommended to forum. It would be a lot of work if a person is still under age and must need parental consent before anything the kid want. Anyway, my opinion is that I don't base on age that much and it is okay if that person is not yet 18 above as long as the person is responsible.
Obviously, this forum isn't a place for children. But probably I would mention Bitcointalk, I doubt that it can have negative influence. If you're making presentation about Bitcoin, few words about Bitcointalk without going deep into details isn't bad thing. And 12-13 year children is really young, I don't think that they will be very interested in Bitcoin and especially Bitcointalk. Maybe current generation don't even know such thing as online forum. So, I don't see risks, such as children joining forum to spam for bounties or risk of being scammed on marketplace.

Anyone who knows how to open a computer and surf the internet can find everything here so even a 12 years old child can land in any websites, the best thing we can do is to guide them and if you are going to discuss Bitcoin, there's a big possibility that they will stumble Bitcointalk, because it's part of the industry.

Children aged 12-13 don't have the life experience to browse this forum. There are too many thing that can go wrong. It's a positive thing that you want to introduce them to Bitcoin but I think it needs to stay at that - just an introduction.
Telling them about Bitcointalk, mining, POW... it is not the right time for them. I don't think a child can understand the concepts of ponzi scams, phishing, malware, and especially not things like gambling. They might associate Bitcoin to the wrong things and get confused.
