Indeed it is correct that everyone should clearly remember about a separate savings section as the emergency fund is like a financial safety net. I think it wouldn't be logical to plan to use your emergency fund for your child's needs. In terminology it can be said that these things are basically part of your financial plan so it may be appropriate to use personal savings or other reserve savings to enter at that moment. In fact an emergency fund may not be created to cover such expenses, basically everyone tries to save that money to deal with unexpected and confusing financial pressures. It's true that if you don't want to use Bitcoin prematurely, so definitely need to find other options or alternatives but you probably shouldn't touch your emergency fund at all because these funds should be used properly based on risk tolerance and for unexpected moments.
