What did they ask kids to do? 

With phones so cheap that one can buy them for just $25, we can be sure every other country that doesn't illegalize BTC wouldn't really be that far behind in adoption. Africa is taking it to the higher bar with thier innovation. We also knew they were able to have an option to send BTC thru SMS.

Are they able to withdraw their bitcoin too?

If the only purpose is to earn it to spend with vendors then that sounds like it's being used more as a gift card than actually giving them experience in using cryptocurrency (or maybe I've read that wrong).

Hopefully this idea will be taken forward and done in places such as schools where more people are able to learn a boy t it (most charities that reach out to children, including educational ones, normally don't get that many compared to how many schools can).

Good thing to hear about in such troubling times we are in now. This brings two things important so to make bitcoin adoption easier:
1, Gives youth an avenue of knowing how and what to use bitcoin for in their daily lives.
2. Has another country to see bitcoin as a means rather than an end to financial freedom.

You got to start from somewhere and build upon it from there. And this shows how this is being done in this African nation.

Thats really interesting and a much wanted progress. From a country like South Africa such an initiative to support bitcoin usage among kids is really good. Also it keeps far high among the countries that are crypto friendly. The way by which the kids were rewarded with bitcoin is really good plan. Now, they'll also know about the value of learning.

This shows that African countries are much into cryptocurrency compared to the rest of the world. Another reason for the same seems to be the government and the inflated currencies.

In terms of Bitcoin adoption, I think the younger generation is the fastest to adapt to the new technologies of our times. So it is definitely easier for them to understand and use Bitcoin compared to the older generation who would even find it hard to familiarize themselves with digital technologies.

But I think making young children work and earn money is not really empowerment. I hope these young children are also going to school and get the education they deserve. I hope they're also having enough time to just play and act like the children that they are instead of seriously focusing on livelihood.

In the future, more and more people will use bitcoin in Africa. Moreover, Bitcoin has become a legal tender in the country. so do not be surprised if the children began to be taught about bitcoin. either directly or indirectly.
It's ironic, when our country, which is more advanced in technology and modernization, still hasn't been able to take the same steps as El Salvador and the Central African Republic. But of course there are many things that must be considered for a country to make certain policies. like africa and el salvador they made a policy of adopting bitcoin is indeed they are in need of it. imagine el salvador before the adoption of bitcoin as a means of payment there. El Salvador is still a country that is not widely known by the outside world. so that tourists to the country is very minimal. despite the strategic location of their country if you look at the trade routes. but in the tourism sector they were less advanced at that time. but now after el salvador made a policy about bitcoin as a legal payment tool in the country, the tourism sector to the country is increasing rapidly. and help their economy a little. and el salvador is now a country that is quite famous. So do not be surprised if there is an increase in tourism there. and shops that accept bitcoin as a means of payment are commonplace there.


And soon in Africa, such a scene as in El Salvador will become common there. it takes time for the citizens of these countries to adapt. like in el salvador which initially had a lot of rejection from its citizens. but now the citizens there are getting used to and adapting to the new system. and in Africa I see people there will be more open in accepting bitcoin. hopefully more countries will make policies regarding bitcoin as a legal tender.

I haven't read any news about the State of Panama which is also interested in bitcoin.

As a continent, Africa is considered to be the next and can be the best frontier for cryptocurrency when it comes to real-life use and applications and it can primarily because people in this location can be more ready to be adopting this innovation...as more and more people got lesser choices so when presented with this opportunity many can be gladly taking it. Now, it is helping that there can be hub of innovations or platforms that are using their heads and not their high-flying ideas when it comes to marketing to the people just like this program for kids using Bitcoin which is to me looks like a surf-to-earn kind of thing. Hope the same success can be duplicated elsewhere and I am thinking that the same can also be popularized in El Salvador where many people already called its Bitcoin adoption as a failure.

Hard times always call for greater ideas and change in oneself. That’s what brought us to the current level of civilisation.

African countries are nothing but the same sort of example and it’s already on the course of bigger adoptions. With their continent’s poor economics (or income) it’s getting harder day by day to up lift national unemployment or development.

This is why Bitcoin is always hot topic in the bitcoin. It’s lovely to see someone is working hard for this. Hope they get to the next level soon.

What I know in South Africa is that there are several ATM machines available there, making it easier for citizens to withdraw their money at the ATM.

South Africa continues to provide a lot of education about Bitcoin and this happens to children who are constantly taught to make it easier to do all transactions including shopping at vendors that have been provided, I think this is a good idea maybe there will be more small children or other adults who know bitcoin as an easy-to-use transaction tool.

It is necessary to introduce in schools there are indeed many who learn and they are increasingly if bitcoin is educated there.

This is an important point that requires developing countries in the world to open access to crypto channels, especially Bitcoin to children as a relay of the future. We cannot predict what will happen in the future and we also cannot determine their fate in the future, but with experience and knowledge we can guide and assist them in realizing their future.

South Africa is a great example of providing crypto innovation and for me countries in Africa are very rich compared to countries that restrict or even ban Bitcoin. Their vision of seeing the future could pierce the sky.
