It's a good thing if your kids decide to venture into BTC and blockchain, but as a parent always make sure you monitor them just to be sure that they are doing what they claimed to be doing online.

Kids nowadays are more into technology for sure but we all know how they can be exposed to the wrong things too, I talked to one yesterday because his father asked me to, his father told me that he knows about web3 very well and he is making money off it, the suspicion came later when his father called and told me that his son lost some BTC on Bybit exchange.

I called for the son and he came, his father isn't there with us and he changed the topic, he claimed that after he sent the BTC to his friends Bybit account, the exchange seized the BTC.

To cut this short, the BTC was stolen, this boy doesn't even know anything about JAVA Script, front end or even how to build a website, he was feeding his father wrong information.

I grabbed his iPhone and noticed that he has been defrauding people online through onlyfans stolen identities, he tried to hide it at first, thinking I don't know much about technology like his old man, later he asked me not to expose him to his father.

This boy and his friend choose to rob people online and he is only 18 years old, he knows BTC by fraud but they are foolish enough not to know that BTC is traceable, since Bybit is on this case already I am expecting an arrest on his friend or even him later, unless Bybit choose not to push this further, maybe because the BTC is just $2000

I wish I couldn't but his father his my uncle, we are related, how will the son even change? This was what came to my mind, I have a son too and I don't want him to be on this same path, I talked to him and I use my story about I ended up with Bitcoin online and also how my father was there to support me before he passed away  and I later told his father not to scold him for lying to him, instead he should start advising him the right way.

What broke my heart was how sad his father was when I told him, he said he trusted the son the most.

Wow, this is really sad. This is definitely something as I father I often think about, how am I going to introduce bitcoin to these kids and make sure that they are safe? Focus on security and proper storage techniques and proper online behavior. Virtues & strong emphasis on faith and religion and doing what is right. Without that any son can go off astray and end up the wrong way. This is surely a difficult position to be in OP, hopefully this can be a turning point in the boy's life and he can change his ways. Pray for him.
Giving ideas about Bitcoin is certainly a good idea, but their work is not over by giving parents only financial or technical ideas. It should also be seen whether the child is growing up with the right track or not. Many parents just trust their children and leave them alone. But young children do not understand when they are involved in bad things, which is why every parent should not only give good ideas about financial or technical aspects, they should also give special importance to value of education, moral education to stay on the right path. Along with technical education, if any child has these educations, no child can go astray. Parents must make their children good people. Then they will be able to do well in all aspects of life. Of course, if they have knowledge about Bitcoin, those children will be aware of the positive financial situation in the future, but if their sense of value is not developed, that money will not be of any use to them.
