If my kid is still too young, I wouldn’t teach them about Bitcoin yet as they likely won’t be interested anyway. And honestly, it’s too risky for them to learn about it early on, especially once they start earning. That could easily lead to gambling behavior, which isn’t far off when you're dealing with volatile assets.

IMO, there’s a right time for everything. Since Bitcoin is a high-risk investment or asset, it shouldn't be introduced at a very young age. Let kids be kids first... when they grow up and mature, that’s when they’ll be better equipped to understand and handle things like Bitcoin responsibly.

Question I Will ask is at a young age would you tell your child about how local fiat currency is and how to save them and how the savings can be used later if they want to? If yes that’s the same way you can educate your child about bitcoin, simply make them understand it is fiat currency stored digitally. The mistake parents makes is telling their children how it brings profit, they introduce them to trading and even futures which is the only bad thing I see there, but teaching your child the right fundamentals about bitcoin and even the blockchain entirely will be good one rather than gatekeeping, the only time it should be gate-keep is when the child is below 14 years or so.

For the children in the this thread, there is nothing any parent can do most especially an illiterate person to bitcoin and cryptocurrency, it is norm that any trending topic is used for scams my people of such age, the proper thing is to have oriented that they can still use such skills to earn legitimate income
