Hey Bitcoiners what do think about Teens learning Bitcoin and Tech

[tabas]

is this a good sacrifice made by the parents of this kids or are the kids been stressed out of proportion. So far the enjoy the class and when I told them about introducing bitcoin as a concept they were excited. I love their passion and this gives me the joy to do even more research so they can learn well.

I don't think that the kids are stressed with what you're teaching them. As you've said, they're enjoying and a kid that is enjoying isn't stressed at all. New learnings are what seem to be they are craving for and that's why keep on doing it. If you'd ask their parents personally, they'll for sure are going to be happy with the new knowledge that's about to be taught to them. And IMO, they're also liking you as their teacher because if the kids show interest and they want to eagerly learn from you, it's because on how enjoying you are as you teach them. Thus, they're already on the right age to be open with the technologies that are emerging and knowing Bitcoin at that age, how we wish that we're also that young when we knew BTC and blockchain. Just keep on doing it, as long as you have passion and there are students that would like to hear you teach them, go for it.

Teens should not learn this stuff because teens are stupid ass fucked up pieces of shit who will end up squandering all their money and worshiping Elon Musk like he is Jesus. The only thing teens should learn (if they are competent enough which is really rare because of how fucked up most teens are) is cryptography.

Hi as tech consultant and instructor, I got some wonderful teens whose parents saw the need to equip ahead of the future. Although they enrolled for web development and python development course but I decided to add introduction to a bitcoin to their curriculum. This kids are smart; although they all learn at their own pace.

It's a good move from their respective parents to enrol them in a tech class because everything is changing fast to technology era. So there's nothing literally wrong for children to learn about what the world is shifting to but you should be cautious of what you teach them and give them a close monitoring to avoid diversion or making use of the knowledge wrongly.

I came across this topic When your kid talk about Bitcoin don't assume it's all good this morning and here comes this your thread teaching teens about tech and Bitcoin. Our younger generation are too hungry for money and want to make it in the wrong way possible. In the course of equipping them with the right knowledge, we should also make sure they're using it in the right way.

I've just read that thread and the story is very sad. I don't know how this will end, but although at 18 the son is responsible of his actions, he is still a young stupid boy who made a mistake that can mark him for life. Even if it doesn't go further, the disappointment for his father will always remain there.

I agree that children must be taught for the future and it seems that tech, crypto, Bitcoin... will be the future. But there are other lessons that must be taught, lessons about ethics, lessons about laws, lessons about what is really important in life, which are much more important than knowing how to program, for example.

The oldest amongst them is 16. When I was 16 I only focused on my school activities and nothing more so I want to get your perspective, is this a good sacrifice made by the parents of this kids or are the kids been stressed out of proportion. So far, they enjoy the class, and when I told them about introducing bitcoin as a concept, they were excited. I love their passion and this gives me the joy to do even more research so they can learn well.

As long as the classes don't end up becoming a burden to these children, I support them wholeheartedly. These days parents want their children to become tech gurus by force. They don't care about the child's interest or emotional condition.  Children have to bear the burden of rigorous academic work in schools and still come back home to face tech classes. Children should have time to enjoy their childhood stage without restrictions

But if children show interest and are enjoying these tech classes,  they should be given all the assistance they need. I hired a coding teacher to expose my children to this skill.  Not all of them were interested and I didn't force them. Those who didn't show much interest are good at music lessons.  I basically give them the freedom to choose.

I've a teenage son who's also interested in what I do and wants to learn. He isn't 16 yet. I'm the one holding back because I want him to get to a certain class before bringing him into trading. I don't want him to be distracted. First thing first, and that's his formal education. He has to get that right but I won't wait for him to leave high school before exposing him intently to cryptos and trading. Doing that now will likely distract him. Money is a big influence and once he gets that idea that he can make money this young, he may tag formal education a scam and dropout from school.

Those parents exposing their kids to such learning this early should ascertain if their kids aren't distracted. If they aren't, then I don't see anything bad in it. However, if they're getting distracted then there's every need to soft pedal on the rush.

Bitcoin and Blockchain technology is the future and there's a need that such skills are included in the curriculum of students into tech so to stay relevant in the society and also ahead of the time. Because this will help them understand the digital world better and even potentially a lucrative career part for the children because teens tends to learn things even faster, So you're on the right track of educating these young ones.

[Finestream]

Thank you for the opportunity OP that these teens have been starting to learn and enjoying them. This might be new for them, but because of your professional knowledge and skills, you end up as an instrument to them so they create connection between themselves and bitcoin, and most importantly its technology that paves way for the existence of bitcoin.

This is a good start for them, and that whatever they will learn from you, they can also impart them to their family and friends, and to their classmates in their own school.

Bitcoin and its blockchain technology is now the latest trend. So they deserve the right to know and understand it, but of course with your continued support and assistance to them.

Well said. Not only bitcoin and its blockchain serve as our future, but they are starting to become relevant these days. That’s because, the more people have understood the concept of bitcoin, the more they are conveyed to start using it these days, if not as a currency, at least they start seeing it as an essential investment.

Good luck OP, my only hope is that they won’t be your last students but as time goes by, you will be given more interested students that will help in the promotion of bitcoin when it’s actually needed to.

If many of them are interested in technical things, that's really amazing in my opinion. Not many teenagers want to learn complicated things like technical bitcoin, only a few have a qualified background in technology and information. Others focus on growth assets, which means that teenagers' real interest is to get returns from bitcoin.

Becoming an investor or trader from bitcoin is their own choice, but investment tends to be safer than trading. To become an investor or trader, a teenager does not have to learn technical things, but basic knowledge alone can be their provision to secure their investment assets in the right way.

Kids should learn bitcoin basics.

They shouldn't start first by telling them about taking profit. They should start first by teaching them about the basics, the technology behind, the innovation it carries and how it has transformed the world. The kids should also be taught that they too can change the world with their own ideas. Adding some programming language to it is also a great thought because they go together.

If those books about bitcoin for example Andreas is not going to be understandable for them, then they should be given bitcoin books with vocabulary that they can understand to read. It will drive their interest faster through knowledge accumulation.

We're talking about teenagers, right? And by the age of twelve or fifteen, they've long since become "sharks" in the Internet's ocean. It's always more useful to study something that can have a positive impact on their future than what millions of teenagers are doing now, namely, scrolling through social media feeds, not always understanding what they're watching. Therefore, directing a teenager to the right resource, as you noted well in the video with Andreas, for example, and motivating them to try to invest their small pocket money, with the help of an adult, will formulate the right worldview much better and faster than the mess they are watching for hours daily on TikTok or another social network.

The stats are not for teenagers under 18 as it is only for 18+ age groups but the pie chart and stats show that younger people tend to be more friendly and adaptive with Bitcoin. It's contrasting with the older people who are more cautious about Bitcoin and less likely accept Bitcoin in their finance and usage.

Therefore, directing a teenager to the right resource, as you noted well in the video with Andreas, for example, and motivating them to try to invest their small pocket money, with the help of an adult, will formulate the right worldview much better and faster than the mess they are watching for hours daily on TikTok or another social network.

Teenagers are fast in learning and nowadays with the Internet, access to it as well as many free resources, open source ones for learning, teenagers can self-find many educational resources on Bitcoin for their learning.

The adults, parents only need to enlighten teenagers about Bitcoin, and lit a fire up for them to recognize amazing technology and helpfulness of Bitcoin. Then teenagers will have organic need of learning, and as said they can individually learn so fast.

I was thinking of making this a mini project for them after I have done introduction to Bitcoin, they will still have a bigger project where we will work on animations with python.

Code:

pyganim library 

times have changed and there is nothing better that anyone that is running anything that looks like a tech institute can do rather than implementing or teaching them what is among the trending technology which bitcoin stands central in it. children they say are the future leaders of tomorrow and so, the only way they can be prepared to face what lies ahead of them in the future is to teach them things that will be used in it highest form in the future.

part of the reason why schools seems to look like an outdated institution is because they have a curriculum that does not focus on what matters most in reality but rather choose to focus on what has already gone obsolete. an institute that teaches young one about bitcoin is one that shows that it is getting herself prepared for the future.

Yeah. Teenagers are too fucking stupid to learn anything useful. How many of them honestly have read the Bitcoin whitepaper? Not very many. They will therefore invest in some stupid ass scam because they lack the intelligence to understand the Bitcoin whitepaper.

If the scams didn't get investment, they wouldn't even exist. You are deluding yourself if you feel that teens are the only ones who get scammed. At least if you are a teen you have your whole life ahead of you to make new money back. Or is it better to wait until they are adults and lose even more money?

I think that teaching about scams should be an important part of the course. Most schools don't teach about ponzi schemes, phishing, MLM, and different scams. And then they wonder why people get tricked so easily and lose so much money.

So you want teens to get scammed as a learning opportunity for them? Because we already have that. It is called college. It is too bad that after graduating from college, those fuckers have not learned a damn thing. Teens are not going to read the Bitcoin whitepaper, and they are almost certainly too fucking stupid to realize that Bitcoin does not even have a mining algorithm that is designed to advance science. It is better not to lose money than to lose money to learn a lesson. But you just want the teens to lose money since you are on the side of the scammers.

Honestly, that’s a smart move. It’s always a privilege for the teens these days to get equipped with the knowledge and real potentials that bitcoin has. They may not realize it today but sooner, they will gain the advantage of knowing bitcoin earlier and its blockchain technology, while leaving those teens who don’t even have an idea about bitcoin at a big disadvantage.

Still, I have high hopes that bitcoin in the future will gain a slot as a course or subject in the educational institutions. Its essence may not be realized today but it will surely be a great advantage for learners in the future.

The educational institutions are too busy promoting violence and refusing to acknowledge any wrongdoing to educate people about cryptocurrency technologies.

Well, learning about Bitcoin and technology is not bad, and the world has really changed compared to my day. Teenagers are quick to gain knowledge of technology and engage in things that will bring value. We have teenagers who are fast learners and understand what life is all about. If they are the kind of smart teenagers, it is not bad for them to be introduced to Bitcoin and technology.
