Topic: Will you buy this book for your kids? - page 2. (Read 380 times)

Yes, children’s interests are determined by themselves, and adults should not forcefully interfere. In fact, I did not force him to learn Bitcoin because he was too young to understand what consensus is. I think consensus is the essence of Bitcoin. If it is not understood, it will be difficult to continue to explain.
If the child is learning the alphabet, it is better to use the things around the child than Bitcoin. It seems that you are a father who knows children well.

Obviously, if they are learning the alphabet the following doesn't really apply; However generally, kids should choose their own path i.e pursue their own interests. As a parent all you can do is guide them, but they ultimately should choose what they enjoy doing. So, I don't think that Bitcoin should be forced on kids, just the same as anything else shouldn't.

As for this particular book, it just doesn't seem appropriate for all of the reasons listed above. You want to make sure that your kid is going to have as easy time as possible in school, and the alphabet isn't something that should be taught with Bitcoin.

Since it has been like you are mentioning your plans upon teaching your children to learn about the letters of the alphabet and how to read, I think it would be too much already to mention stuffs about crypto. If the simple concept of knowing the letters of the alphabet has not been reached by them yet, just imagine how complicated it would be for them to intake knowledge with regards to crypto. Maybe after they learn how to read and comrehend the things they are reading, you can start slowly explaining to them different things about crypto. At least be considered on the capacity of what they can learn and what they cannot learn yet.

The blockchain industry is not the same as the cryptocurrency market. It is not just buying and selling, but also has many application scenarios.

I appreciate it very much to see that you can spread this knowledge to your children. I can see that you are an open parent and your children are also very smart.

I don’t have a child. I don’t know or think about how I will pass on more information to my child in the future.

I think it may spread some basic knowledge of blockchain to children, which will help children of the same age contact him earlier. As he grows older, he may require more knowledge, which shows that he is interested in blockchain and Bitcoin. It depends on his own study.

Strictly controlling the time that children play online games is necessary for children's growth to prevent them from indulging in it.
I will talk about Bitcoin with my children, and imagine that in the future, cash is not necessarily required. Some countries can use Bitcoin. In the future, when robots serve people, they may only be able to pay with Bitcoin.

I also agree with your point of view. First of all, I think it depends on how old the child is. I think it’s better to understand it at an appropriate age. It may be better when the child grows up and the blockchain technology is more mature. There was a particularly funny thing. My niece gave a speech at school. The topic was: "My Aunt" When she talked about her aunt’s career, she said that my aunt bought Bitcoin. She faced the computer every day and looked at K-line. When the bitcoin rose, she would buy me pizza and milk tea, and she would kiss me tenderly. When my aunt was in a bad mood, I couldn't get close to my aunt. The teacher at the school thought it was incredible. This is enough to prevent me from going to school to pick her up from school this year.

If I will, I’m against my intentions.
I said I won’t be afraid of your sadness again.
My answer is that I will introduce Bitcoin to my child in the future and recommend relevant books to him at an appropriate age.
The child should let him. Keep a childish innocence, play games well, and grow up happily.
I think Grimm's fairy tales are more suitable for him.
Because I am still a beginner myself, maybe your work and language at home are already subtly affecting your children's thinking.

In fact, my son started learning Scratch when he was six years old. I didn't force it into his head. When my colleague and I called, I would mention Bitcoin blockchain and the like. After he heard it, he would ask me what a blockchain is. I briefly introduced it, just like introducing an asteroid in the universe.

Thank you for providing  the article.

It’s the parents that would go into purchasing the book, but it really doesn’t look appealing at all for a kid, nor from an educational perspective. The (kid) reader needs to be able to relate things easily, to everyday things he encounters. A banana is a well known object for a kid easily relatable to ‘B’. Relating ‘B’ to Bitcoin comes nowhere near, and it’s more of a fancy thing that some parents may purchase, which will be incomprehensible and misleading to the intended kid audience.

Although I won't consider buying this book for my two year old. I'm very keen on educating my family on bitcoin. Because I wouldn't want my bitcoins to be lost when I pass on. Our kids are the future of tomorrow and bitcoin is in that future.

Yeah, I'd buy it. I believe that expanding a child's vocabulary will result in positive things. Will he be proficient in blockchain or Bitcoin? No. But The child will have a wide range of words to chose from and can get more engaged to learn simple letters when the words are changed from the standard apple, ball, etc, that get boring.

I also join in the denial of such an acquaintance with bitcoin for my child. I will seem old-fashioned, but everything related to the Internet, gadgets, computer games is strictly controlled in my family, knowing how easily a child's psyche is changeable. Likewise, I believe that everything has its time. At some point, knowledge of bitcoin will come in handy, but I don't think children need it.

Even though I may introduce my kid to the internet and the blockchain at a young age, I will not buy the sure book for my kids but can buy it to see how it helps me in the teaching of my kids about Bitcoin. So I will have to first read the book to see its content.

Personally, no. Because to be honest, I really don't get the obsession with shoving Bitcoin down your kids throat so early on. There's simply just a lot more things that should be prioritized for kids than Bitcoin. At least at the right age I'd introduce programming first.

I don’t think I’m going to buy such books for my children.

Children do not have enough abstract thinking ability, and they are still in the concrete thinking stage during childhood.

Perhaps children’s learning books published by child psychologists are more helpful to children’s growth：

A-Apple
B-Banana
C-Car
D-Door
etc.

Today I want to order a children's book online. A book called /B is for Bitcoin/ caught my interest, and I searched the author.

The author Graeme Moore, Canadian, born in the 90s, has always been annoyed that he missed the Internet wave, so he paid attention to the blockchain very early. He said: "I have been paying attention to blockchain and Bitcoin for a long time, probably in 2014, and I particularly hope to do something in this field. He is thinking about what else blockchain can do besides cryptocurrency? I was inspired by seeing a one and a half year old niece reading a picture book. I have been thinking about making the book "B is the B of Bitcoin" for a long time, and finally I decided to make it. Because I don't know which projects can be directly compared To contribute to the Bitcoin community, I don’t know how to program to optimize Bitcoin’s core protocol. I can only write this book."

Moore intends to let children learn literacy while learning blockchain related knowledge.

A for apple, replaced by A for Altcoin,
B for banana, replaced by B for Bitcoin,
C for cat, replaced by C for Consensus,
D for dog, replaced by D for Decentralize

In the past, I hesitated whether to tell my child about blockchain, but I decided to give him a brief introduction.
Because blockchain is a technology, its applications will be very extensive in the future, and there is no harm in knowing more about it.

Will you let your children learn about Bitcoin and the concept of decentralization from an early age?
