So I have 2 cousins. One of them doesn't save and is a huge spender while the other is a saver and spends only once a year. So would bitcoin be a good way to teach them about saving? Since, mining bitcoin is the only way to make alot of bitcoin, I would use a alt wallet to show them what happens if you spend and don't save. What do you think?

I really don't see how Bitcoin would help teach kids about Bitcoin. To be honest, I think it would have the opposite affect. Kids these days are playing games on their computers and on their phones, you don't see them going out too often. Some of them buy games from a store but a lot buy games online (Or in-game items). I think Bitcoin would just make them buy more games if they started to earn it.

To be honest, I think that the only way to teach a kid about saving is just by changing their mindset on money. A lot of them just think that they can buy whatever they want because their parents have money, but that really isn't the case.

Well I think bitcoin would be a good way to teach them how to save,
And also tell them about how it works and how they could earn if they save it .

How so? You didn't really explain much. Saying that it will is one thing, proving it is another.

I really agree with you, is addicted to the game is very difficult to change it, sometimes the kids always steal time to play the game. I often give directions about bitcoin, but it is very difficult to change the child's pleasure.
