This ia true but there are some people today who invested and indulge themselves with bitcoin, they sold out of proportion without knowing the value of what they had. I myself only agree with you that they should be given a thorough knowledge on bitcoin, also orient and sanitize  them on their investment journey.
For those people who had the chance to invest in bitcoin back then never hold till date and I believe it's because of not knowing the features and futures of bitcoin, I still believe people never sees it as something very important and valuable to our society then, but as time goes that is how people began to develop interest in buying and holding bitcoin, same it is when giving children the basic needs why they should know about bitcoin in other not to be left out entirely.
