This is the exact thing I would do — hold her by the hand. It's not enough that she's showing interest in Bitcoin, you have to make that interest worth its while for her. She can easily get distracted once she ignorantly falls victim of hack or scam. As her father and a veteran member of a Bitcoin forum you just got your first close ardent Bitcoin disciple. So, make it count. Don't be a distant observer to her. I don't think monitoring and directing her on this will be counted as infringing on her privacy or freedom if that's what you're worried about.
provides basic knowledge about bitcoin, how to get started, where to buy and sell it is what needs to be done from the start. Children today who have an interest in bitcoin have the potential to become even greater bitcoin activists than you. Don't let them fall victim to hacking and fraud, you have to direct them to the right path and warn them about the risks they will face. Teaching it directly will certainly give them encouragement and indeed, not only being observers but being a good teacher will make them experience rapid development. provide a good and correct education and become a teacher until they understand what they have to do in the future.
I guess you tagged me wrongly because you seemed to have reechoed what I said, thinking I said the opposite 😂.

Well, I for one believe there is nothing like starting something at the right time. There's never a right time. The right time is always now. Again, my little knowledge of biology tells me that a kid's mind is a tabula rasa — an empty book, so to say. And as such you can write whatever you want on it and it becomes an impression or learning. Whatever you teach anyone at young age stays with them longer than it would if taught at adult age.

These happenings should be kept so that we can increase these good news to make bitcoin into mainstream.

When I grow older I will surely teach my son about cryptocurrency and blockchain technology so that he can somehow secure his future just like what I'm doing right now.

So as soon as we get financially stable, we should pass the mindset that we have in an investment to the younger generation so that they can also experience how interesting playing with the market.

Today my daughter put her first bonus pay into Bitcoin.

She is well aware that I have Bitcoin for a few years and today out of the blue
decided to make the move

.
Firstly the fact that your daughter who i presume is very young has an interest in crypto is something i find very commendable. With such a mindset of investment at a yiung age, She will turn out tobe a millionaire at a very early age.

The primary thing is that she has become involved in a very light way for the moment,
as we progress through this bull market hopefully her taste for Bitcoin will develop
As long as she understands or believes in Bitcoin value as currency and asset, I think it will be fine. What makes people lose hope in Bitcoin or crypto is because they believe they'll get rich quickly by holding some coins, within a month or so, and if they experience a massive loss due to various reasons.

I think you should encourage her to learn and read about why crypto has value, what makes Bitcoin is sound money, etc.

Today my daughter put her first bonus pay into Bitcoin.

She is well aware that I have Bitcoin for a few years and today out of the blue
decided to make the move

via Revolut!

I explained to her the drawbacks of using Revolut, She cannot move it, she
doesnt have any control over what she has and her options are hold or sell.
She is happy to proceed as a first experience with Bitcoin and told me that many
of her friends have Bitcoin. I was curious about that and wondered just how many
Revolut customers actually have Bitcoin?

For all its drawbacks Revolut offer a very easy route into Bitcoin in a lightweight way.
It also proves that the younger generation want a hassle free entry into Bitcoin and
dont initially want the seemingly inconvenience of securing their Bitcoin.

Fintech Challengers Revolut and Luno are Experiencing Dramatic Surge in Demand from Bitcoin and Ethereum Traders


Isn't this an example of riding the trend. Younger generations tend to ride whats "IN" and what is trending. Since they sees BTC traders, especially that Musk takes a huge uproar into the scene, they want a piece of that so they ride the trend. This is natural response of a human especially those who are anxious of everything, and since you mentioned that almost all of her friends has bitcoins, it maybe is also a factor why she get some, for her to not feel left out.

Anyways, not to be negative, it is good for her, and be sure to guide her.

I can agree with you in a certain way but being a doting parent won't help if you are trying to teach your children these things, especially the boring details. You had been a young one once, so you know how stubborn they are if they want to get in their way. Take it slow and just teach them the ropes in a way that isn't overwhelming her ideas.

this is my approach, i have already planted a number of seeds about Bitcoin education,
Bitcoin ownership and being security conscious. Over time those seeds will germinate
and she will look for more from Bitcoin.

The primary thing is that she has become involved in a very light way for the moment,
as we progress through this bull market hopefully her taste for Bitcoin will develop

If you are that worried about your daughter using Revolut, I think that you should teach her the hard way so she can secure her bitcoins.

It is a good thing that younger generations are getting into the bitcoin business because I believe that these people should know the value of money and earn money at a younger age, waiting to go to college and getting a degree at this era is not a plausible option because the prices of commodities are piling up and any assistance can be of big help.

Bitcoin is not just adopting gradually with revolut but also to another remittance app. It must be because of the remittance app these days that people are now looking for alternative and cheaper ways to send money abroad. Its just making people's lives easier than bank transfers that ask for high fees. Each country has its own app to use for their remittance that accepts BTC and other coins, I'm sure anyone who looks for this alternative will learn from their fellow expats.

I dud I explained the differences between custodial services and wallets and taking ownership of Bitcoin but you know not everyone wants to get so involved some people like the convenience that the likes of Revolut provide. Maybe in time these younger generations will want more than just an app on their phones.

Well, the market is getting bigger for cryptocurrency and certainly in this expanding market we can see many types and variants. I may even say that I belong to the group of people who just to own something and never care so much on technicalities, always preferring convenience as my top priority over anything else and of course along the way we want to experience safety and security of our digital assets. There are many choices in the market right now and there can be more in the coming days. What can be most important is that more and more people are getting hold of cryptocurrency, be it Bitcoin or otherwise -- as long as not shitcoins.

Young people take advantage of downloading the apps that their friends use such as Revolut app. But as we know to buy cryptocurrencies, sell and hold this app is not the best option. Binance and other exchange platforms are joining forces to offer simple apps for users. We just have to invest a little of our time with teenagers to teach them how to invest their first cryptocurrencies.

I agree as most of these things cannot be trust especially they don't have any proof to consider that they can really be trusted to hold BTC for long. Exchanges are not recommended as well but they can use as alternatives if you don't have yet any hard wallet for now. Most of these people who hold more BTC than the others are investing in buying some best hard wallets to secure their BTC to the max especially those long-time holders. Because it's just some obvious matter because we have witnessed how other exchanges got compromised in the past.

Congrats to you and to your daughter.

Now, the next step is to make her feel that she really holds her bitcoin. If that's not possible in revolut, she should buy elsewhere like Binance.

It's easier than that app.
I agree, as a first step is not that bad, after all I think most of us even if we got some bitcoin we decided to store it at first in an online wallet or an exchange, however as we know the whole point of bitcoin is to hold your coins yourself so no one but you has legitimate access to those coins, the OP should try to explain to his daughter and if possible to her friends about the advantages of having your own wallet and hold your coins, but still it is nice to see the new generations being interested in bitcoin and what it brings.

dont initially want the seemingly inconvenience of securing their Bitcoin.

More often than not, the easiest way is not the best way.

I hope you will somehow enlighten your daughter about the unnecessary risks involved with keeping Bitcoin in a wallet beyond her personal control. I mean, it is a must with Bitcoin. Other than avoiding the possibility of losing her funds, Bitcoin is essentially about freedom and complete ownership. The philosophy of Bitcoin is as important as the technology itself. It's like the soul and body of Bitcoin, respectively.

I think that's where he needs to come in, to explain the pros and cons of using the app vs top exchanges.
He can easily show the difference by making it an example, especially if he is a user of Binance or any top exchange.
Sooner or later, the daughter will learn more tips along the way, and she will find other good alternatives to deal with bitcoin.
And more than likely, she will not only venture in bitcoin but other alts as well.
In this generation, they can easily be swayed by social media, so he still needs to guide his daughter on what is the right thing to do.

Bitcoin is known to young ages as they are very active on social media and the internet. Good thing that they only heard about the positive side, not the FUDs having them and your daughter's interest in Bitcoin.
People are expecting so great about Bitcoin, once they heard about this thing...ohh it is a big money, you've got be a millionaire someday. But they still never know the risk and they might lose.

 I congratulate you first for having a daughter who is old enough to invest in bitcoin. And I like to advise that you have a responsibility to her on guiding her to have better knowledge on wallets or means to hold. A better option is to be shown to her.
