I am thinking to teach my 8 yr old daughter about crypto. But past history riddled with illicit activity so I was thinking to open her a just dogecoin wallet and have her to learn to use it. Do you think it is suitable? Anyone done this? Or any risk?
8 years must be too early for learning anything about investments/payment processors/even any kind finance things. Let your kid learn something which are suitable for their age group not what adults must do. Because, education and other moral things are more important in childhood and we should not deviate them from learning those things. They must choose what they are preferring and based on that they can adopt cryptocurrency after the age of 18 or 20.
All I mean, just let your kid grow on their own world still you may teach them basics of money management and importance of saving but never open about advanced things to them until they are becoming 18+. After they are becoming adult also, give them choices by teaching basics and from that let them adopt what they prefer.
