Came across this video in which a person questions whether they prefer to take 100$ or Bitcoin. The kids never took time, all of the sudden chosen 100$. I'm not specific about the location this had taken place, but it looks like they're are Western people. This makes me think, awareness is not upto the mark and in all means we need to educate people. Even the Western young generation unaware of it is really unbelievable.
100$ or Bitcoin Not just about awareness. It's more on the fact of postulates set on a kid's mind. For instance, these kids you mentioned, will most likely know what a dollar is, and less likely to know what bitcoins are, if they even know it existed. That being said, these kids are expected to choose cash over bitcoin, just over the fact alone that bitcoin is something that is not imposed upon a child while it is developing.
In all seriousness, I wouldn't trust my kid if I ever had one with bitcoins, especially in an early age. It's one thing to educate and inform them, it's another to leave them unattended with bitcoins and subject themselves to pretty adult things.
