Crypto education for kids

[semperfrosty]

Consider yourself lucky. Most teenagers are maybe technically savvy, and that is where it ends. They don't have the business or history knowledge not to mention the real life experience with scams.

When I was 10-12 I was introduced to ponzis by the so called pilot games, using postcards. You were supposed to send 5 or 10 postcards to your friends and relatives and thus doing so, you advance towards the top of a pyramid, where you get more and more post cards. You get the picture...I was pretty young but immediately saw the mathematical impossibility of everybody winning at this game.

They don't teach common sense in schools and teenagers may know someone who made easy money with crypto. Thus FOMO. Not to mention the easy availability of gambling apps. So they are ripe for being scammed, sad to say.

And the cultists are trying to get them while they are young:

(in case it doesn't show up, there are at least 4 crypto books on Amazon aimed at kids)

you realise its a technology right?

youre on a traders forum so we talk about its value or how to profit from its movement but its actually new tech.

would you advise youth to avoid learning to code?

Isn't the programmers profession going to get disrupted quite soon ?

Frosty did you made a grammatical mistake (?), if so, i'll fix it for you :

What do you mean?

Some spoke that since the A.I can write the code, it's a matter of time until the programmers will lose their jobs.
Nothing happens right away, but, eventually it happens.

I mean, unless the kid/child really loves it, it's kinda bit a bad strategy to follow such path.

But it's only my opinion.

Was wondering when people are talking to their kids about BTC/Crypto in general what resources did they find helpful?

Depends on age. By far Robert Kiyosaki’s “Cashflow” board game is a great learning tool. Teaches about basic concepts not taught k-12, even college.

For those younger;

Many, many years ago, I saw a two-frame comic strip. I think it was from Willy 'n Ethel. Geez, I wish I had saved it.

Willy is watching TV in his easy chair, and he is approached by his nephew, maybe 14 years old or so, who says:

"I used your name to buy something."

Willy looks at him and says nothing.

In the next frame, the kid says,

"There's been a margin call."

Goals of becoming an influencer at 3yr, (even though it's most likely her parents goals) she's got quite a head start.

I wont fight you too hard but:

“How do you mean?” is asking, “In what way are you referring?” “What do you mean?” is asking, “Could you be a little more specific?” The word “what” is asking for specifics to whatever is said or done. The word “how” is asking the manner of or condition of the situation.



And thanks for your answer,I didnt realise AI was coming for that space.Probably should have.

Pekelo is a sparring partner of mine.haha.Crypto triggers him and he sometimes says silly things.

I was mainly trying to say that trading crypto is different to learning about the tech.

Sprout,

you're really being serious ?
