This is pretty cool to hear.  I'm curious which subject exactly do you teach? I'm guessing perhaps finance? I don't think I ever had a finance class in high school to be honest, and I think it's an absolute shame.  What you're doing here is something all students should learn, finance basics, as well as decentralized cryptocurrencies/bitcoin.  Schools are so often focused on too many things kids will never retain or use in the "real world"..this is something different.  Well done.

Thanks for supporting the idea.
I think the activity - BITCOINS LIKE GOOD DEEDS could help kids have a concrete understanding of decentralization and bitcoin.
Bitcoin is like the gold stars children get for good deeds in the class. Let’s say the teacher makes one kid in charge of keeping a tally in her personal notebook of how many gold stars each student has.

Others in class grow uncomfortable with this…is she giving herself more gold stars? She was absent the day I got my gold star, was it recorded? What if she loses that notebook in the schoolyard?
So, You all decide to change the system from keeping records by one person (centralized) to everyone (decentralized).

Everyone takes out their notebooks and copies down her account of the class’ gold stars. From now on EVERYONE in the class writes down when someone gets a gold star.

Now everyone has their own record of truth and no one can cheat and give themselves more gold stars because when their amount is compared to what everyone else has recorded then it will be proven as a faulty star.

This is the principle behind bitcoin, it is an archive of actions that is spread across thousands of computers so that it is near impossible to tamper with the information.

18? Really? Get with the times since things are different now. Kids today are more technologically advanced and learns faster since a lot of information are available online. Learning about mobile wallets and using it to experience sending a few sats will be a piece of cake to them.

We can always integrate Bitcoin while teaching economics to these kids.  It is way better to make them understand Bitcoin is like money. 


True that, teaching Kids in this age range is challenging because they are more focused on entertainment than having financial independence.  So the challenging task would be how to keep their interest on the new subject matter called Bitcoin.



I think there is no harm in integrating Bitcoin concept on the curriculum but it should be done carefully not to disrupt the learnings of these kids or deviate from the intended subject matters(curriculum).

Thank you for taking the time to read and appreciate the thought behind it.
children who can grasp the concept of decentralization and bitcoin at a young age will have an easier time adopting bitcoin and following up with digital currency in the future.
However, given the great volatility and other risks, such as the lack of crypto rules and regulations, it is also critical to ensure that child is aware of the safety concerns.

^ Everything should they learn not only the positive side of BTC.
From the cons and pros, the dos and the don'ts, all of them should be absorbed into their mind. Because dealing with BTC is a very risky part, especially investment, you will never know where the price goes either it will up or down. I like the way of making improvements, maybe the future generations will discover a lot more about BTC technology or the blockchain technology behind it and probably teach them how this code work and how possible be useful in the future is a great way to have a further development waiting ahead.

Well I can agree to a certain extent but perhaps you are forgetting that you're trying to educate 10 to 11 year old kids. Yes they can be fast learners with the help of technology and may understand savings as I've pointed out already but do you really think they could understand the concept of market volatility and other risks involved in investments? They can learn all of that later on. What I'm trying to point out is what areas should be prioritized.

I think present days preteens are far superior to what we think about them, they must have heard about bitcoin and would be eager to start off with further learning and exploring of the same all by themselves. So we are like good mentors who can guide them about the usage of bitcoin currency. So they will not end up in a mess and can get into trouble. As we know lack of information always leads us nowhere.     

About bitcoin two things are certain -
Its prices are volatile and those who have had these assets for more than 3 years have a chance to make money because bitcoin has a history of rewarding patience and perseverance.
Second, while the future is uncertain, new possibilities are clearly emerging in the bitcoin area. We can't predict it for sure, but there's a chance that bitcoin will play a larger role in the future. An investment in bitcoin is a wager which will not vanish. (And, thus far, Bitcoin has resisted regulation, and media criticism admirably).
