Stay in school and don't do drugs (too much).

He shouldn't be here anyways. His understanding is wrong, as expected, since he is a kid.

I don't think you can really say that I 'shouldn't be here'. I mean yes my understanding or crypto-currencies is 'wrong' but everyone has to start somewhere, right? I bet when you first started out your knowledge was basic.
I agree with this.

Learning shouldn't be equated with being denied access to a forum.

Mine was certainly basic, no doubt about it.

Even if he is a kid; doesn't this mean that Bitcoin's demographics are expanding, and we're getting those who decently matter into Bitcoin?

Exactly. I now know that it is not possible to provide a global basic income for everyone through a crypto-currency. I've learnt. I will spend a lot more time learning about crypto-currencies and doing my own research to ensure that I understand this topic properly. I heard about bitcoin through a friend and in turn I have told people about bitcoin. Awareness is spreading among ordinary people and I don't think it will be long before a crypto-currency (not necessarily bitcoin) will become widely accepted by the masses.

That's good!

See everyone! Just because a kid is 12 doesn't mean he can't be intelligent!

Just make sure not to listen to FUD (Fear, Uncertantity or Distress ((Or something else, that's my abbreviation))) and always learn. I don't know Bitcoin inside and out, and you -probably- don't either. You'll always be learning, don't dwell on information you've learned in the past. Question what you read now, and ask about things based on the knowledge you have.

And props to you for telling people about Bitcoin, that's a great thing you're doing right there!

And if you ever need anything, just ask me. I'm really open in my schedule and I wouldn't mind doing things.
