in #life8 years ago


Hello, dear Steemiters, I would like to discuss with you the topic of Cryptocurrency and children and to hear Your opinion. Now become increasingly popular cryptocurrency and the blockchain, like when the Internet, so I had an idea, at what age and how should children be made aware of this cryptocurrency’s world and can it be done in a playful way. I read that one Ukrainian teacher of the highest category considers the lessons of financial literacy are required in the school curriculum starting from grade 7. And she believes that in this age, you can explain the principles as Fiat and cryptocurrency.
But probably to the time when it will be included in the school curriculum is still far away and have yet to come up with something. Good way of explaining presented a well-known blogger:

"Imagine a room, to which all have access. The room has a camera that can see anyone and even has an archive of the recording for viewing later. On the floor is very much indestructible piggy banks. Almost every piggy Bank has a coin slot and everyone can see the amount of coins and that these coins. At the bottom of the piggy Bank has a lock for the removal of coins and this is the only way to get them. And each person has his own key to his piggy Bank, but piggy Bank can't leave the room. And let's imagine that I want to buy something from You and you want me to sell it.

First You tell me which piggy Bank is Yours. I put on a mask to me it was impossible to see and enter. Everyone can see me but cannot recognize me because of the mask. I open my piggy Bank, take coin, put in Your and leave.
Now everyone knows that in Your piggy Bank is a coin that I had and so constantly with every purchase."

The same blogger offers the following answers to the main questions:

" How does the new coins are appears? How it all started?"

In this room there is a robot and he's holding a lottery. Sometimes he chooses what the piggy Bank and puts in her 50 coins. First, about this room knew very few people and quantity of piggy Bank was a little, so to win was easy.

"Is it possible to make their own fake coins?"

No, because the camera sees everything, and knows when coins puts people, and when the robot.

But those children who are already familiar with the concept of Bitcoin will help digital piggy Ernit. This toy was designed by Danish designers and raised $90 thousand investment. The piggy Bank has the shape of a pig and communicates with a smartphone via some app, allowing you to hoard bitcoins.

So now there is every opportunity to introduce their children to the world of cryptocurrency in a clear accessible form.

Hope to hear Your opinions and suggestions on this topic.
Thank you for your attention.
