It is better for children to learn about the world around them, including how cryptocurrency functions. There are many different types of currencies and this knowledge will help them understand what it means to make a purchase or trade. The more they understand, the smarter their decisions will be and the more they'll know about their money and what they can do with it.

Cryptocurrencies, like many types of digital money, allow people to make transactions around the world without costly middlemen such as banks or payment providers.

Children should learn about crypto currency because it is an emerging technology. There are many ways to teach them with analogies or by letting them experience it first hand. -If they're old enough to play video games, they're old enough to start learning about Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

Benjamin Ahmed a 12 year old from the UK create digital wales as NFT and sells it in the real world. You can also teach them about bitcoins with a lesson on how money is made and then let them decide if bitcoin is the way we should be doing it.
