We don't need to force children on cryptocurrency but we only need to enlighten them if they have interest. And here are a few things to consider regarding teaching children about bitcoin:

1. Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are becoming increasingly relevant in the global economy. Exposing children to financial technology and digital assets at a young age could give them an advantageous understanding as they grow up.

2. Teaching children how to manage and invest in assets responsibly from a young age could help develop important life skills and financial literacy. Kids who learn about savings, investing and wealth creation early on tend to make better financial decisions as adults.

3. If done properly and with parental supervision, learning about bitcoin can be a fun and engaging experience for children. They are often naturally curious about new technologies.

4. Parents should ultimately decide at what age and to what extent their children learn about bitcoin, based on their maturity level and interests. Forcing children to learn when they are not ready is likely to be counterproductive.

5. As with any financial topic, parents should teach children about the risks involved with bitcoin as well as the potential opportunities. Kids need a balanced understanding.

6. Responsible use of bitcoin for children means starting with small amounts and under parents' supervision and control of any funds or accounts. Kids should not have unrestricted access that could lead to losses.

So in summary, while forcing children to learn bitcoin is not a good approach, exposing them appropriately based on their maturity level and interests could have benefits. As with anything, moderation and common sense should guide parents' decisions.

The most important thing is that parents educate themselves sufficiently on bitcoin first, so they can teach their children responsibly. But don't feel pressure to force the topic if it's not a good fit for your family right now.
