While the project had noble intentions and was driven by a belief in the potential benefits of blockchain technology and cryptocurrency for young individuals, I was able give out bitcoins to more than half of the teenagers, before I had some resistance by parents. I regret to inform you that it did not succeed as planned, despite the enthusiastic interest and cooperation of the teenagers themselves. The main obstacle that I encountered was the strong opposition from the parents of the teenagers. Many of them expressed concerns and reservations about Bitcoin and blockchain technologies, which ultimately led to the project's failure.
I respect the parents' viewpoints and understand that these concerns stem from a place of care and caution for their children. It is essential to prioritize the trust and confidence of parents in any educational initiative involving teenagers. Therefore, I have decided to discontinue the Bitcoin gifts project at this time.

It's not really your duty to promote bitcoin and talk people about its pros, you shouldn't really try to convince anyone because there is absolutely no pro that you get, instead, people blame you for promoting it and if anyone buys or gets involved in bitcoin because of your influence, then they'll blame you for their loss. Also, if these teenagers start talking about Bitcoin in family and invest their savings in Bitcoin, their parents may reach to you and it can turn into a problem.

Mainly most parents hold the belief that BTC, lacking government oversight and approval, is primarily associated with money laundering and illicit business activities.

Cash and bank credit have government oversight and approval yet are used for money laundering 100x more than Bitcoin.

Even custodial fiat services such as CashApp, Venmo, Zelle and Paypal are not so much better in terms of illicit usage. Also as private companies they have the right to seize your money whenever they want. But at least there's an 18+ age limit earmarked on these platforms.

But that doesn't change the fact that people think Bitcoin is used for illicit activities, right NotATether?
