GM Everyone! ☕
Congratulations $100k
I'm making some Bitcoin trivia questions for some 8th grade kids in my homeschool pod on Friday.
I'd love some age appropriate ideas to see if we can pique their curiosity about #Bitcoin ❤️

What does store of value mean?
How many satoshis in a bitcoin? What does it mean to be decentralized? What day is pizza day?
Definitely get pizza day into the curriculum
What is the supply cap for bitcoin?
Who created/discovered/invented Bitcoin?
What event was referenced in the Genesis Block?
Who controls bitcoin?
How often are bitcoin blocks mined?
What is the halving and why is it important?
What does Bitcoin compete against?
How many blocks before halving? How many blocks before a difficulty adjustment? What year was the Genesis block? How many halvings have there been? How big is a block of transactions? How many words in a seed phrase? What is the hash protocol called? Also sats math would be a very cool idea to introduce now so when the price is like.. 317k or some wonky number they have an idea of how to estimate a dollar cost.
We homeschool as well! Good for you guys.
I’m sure you’ve seen Tuttle Twins material. Highly recommend.
Question ideas:
-What is the value of $1?
-How are dollars made?
-How many dollars are there today vs last year?
*Exchange dollars for BTC as well
-Price something for then they want (I’m sure a computer or cell phone) in dollars/BTC 5 years ago compared to today-ask them trivia questions around that before.
-I think trivia questions about the history of what was used as money in societies is always fun.
-I know it’s not trivia, but create a barter game and require them to win with and without money and ask them which was easier.
-If your goal is to teach them about BTC, I think common operational trivia questions are great!
Talking about inflation in general. Give each kid 5x $1 bills, have them trade for items, then come in and give one kid an extra 20x $1 bills and see what happens.
Good to see bitcoin education in schools, teach them to approach bitcoin as a store of value, Precious, useful, and scarce in quantities like gold!!!!
Concepts of exchange and money will be the most important, understanding value will be key here and where money and Bitcoin comes into play.
What are the primary properties to consider for a unit of exchange or a “money”?
-Scarcity? Can someone or a govt make it? Examples like Oil, gold, property, grain, art, paper money.
-divisible? (property & art aren’t & Gold isnt great)
-durable? (Example -Paper vs gold)
-recognizable? (Example -Art is subjective. Gold requires some expertise)
-Portable? (Gold, real estate)
-Fungibility & liquidity? (How quickly can you find a buyer? Ie: Cash or gold is better than art or real-estate)

Nothing wrong with governments make it! it's when the private bankers make it and charge interest. Like Abraham Lincoln, William Garfield, William Mckinly, JFK, Tsar Alexandre, Tsar Nicolas, Premier William Aberhart discovered. #Fiat #social #national #interest #credit
If I could just get 6000 Sats on my wallet actual I could run my own Lightning node! Till then I can't get zaps because I refuse to give my limited btc to some service.
What is the Mempool?
This is a good idea, especially using nostr:nprofile1qqsrl45uukntkag9vk0jvmshxq7e77r8wmv5uu4czq9d2gapl8cwg7spzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgtce7zgt3 to show the organization of transactions in blocks. It's a nice visual representation.
Scarcity and abundance
About how long until the next block is mined?
I love this post.
Id also love to share this with some parents in my circles.
Maybe we could get some of the bigger accounts to repost so we can get some more suggestions…
🧡👊🏻🍻

First of all, I find most of the recommendations difficult. Sorry guys. Most questions adults cannot answer and are not interested in. You have to get them interested in the subject. That is actually the hardest part. My 8th graders were not easy this year. It was hard to get them.
Since I understand trivia questions in the sense that they have to have the knowledge already at hand, its super dificult. They know nothing about money, fiat, bitcoin.
Or have you had lessons with them before?
Thought-provoking questions that I have done as an introduction to the topic, where the following is:
- Why is the $100 bill worth more than the $100 Monopoly money?
- What was used as money in the very, very early days and why? (fangs and claws of predators)
- What is money in the schoolyard (travel cards, cigarettes, food)?
- Why do we need a medium of exchange at all? (easy settlement for future exchange of goods and services I have worked for today)
- Why is your schoolyard money not suitable for this purpose? (characteristics of good money)
- is bitcoin better than gold and fiat, and if so, in what sense?
Trivia questions in the real sense would not have worked in my 8th grade class before we even delved into the topic.
How much more food do you get out of cutting a pizza into 8 slices vs 16 slices.
Follow up questions:
- What's the max supply of bitcoin and
How many sats make one bitcoin?
Mindblow moment question:
When USD is printed, does that make a bigger pizza or does it require more people to share the same size pizza.
Last question:
Buy bitcoin
What is the difference between gold and bitcoin?
Wow, not easy since kids See the world differently. I would start with
„What is Money and what makes things used as money?“ and with that you dive towards „What do you use money for?“ together with „What makes Bitcoin valuable?“ And Inflation is a topic Kids can understand (prices rise over time). This leads to Bitcoin beeing digital scarcity.
How many blocks long is a pregnancy?
I had to figure it out for this episode of my story.
Answer: Between 38,000 to 40,000 blocks.

What is POW ? …
Then give them a history lesson on why laser eyes and how POW got us to $100k fiat dollars

Why does $5 buy you less sweets every year?(inflation)
Or why does a toblerone bar give you less chocolate triangles every year?(shrinkflation)
How many vowels does ‘Satoshi’ have?
#bitcoin operates in a modular finite field. What does that mean, and can you think of any other examples in the world or nature where the same thing exists?
bitcoin was originally proposed in a white paper, which was published to a mailing list for cryptography enthusiasts. what year was the paper sent to the mailing list? (Oct 31, 2009)
the code that make bitcoin work was released later. when was the first version of bitcoin software released? (Jan 3, 2009)
the bitcoin whitepaper is famous for explaining how to solve what difficult computer science problem for digital currencies that are transacted peer to peer? (the double spend problem; eg how to make sure only one person gets the money at a time)
bitcoin is a blockchain. on average, a new bitcoin block gets added to the chain every how many minutes? (10m)
White Paper released Oct. 31, 2008 🫡🫡🫡
Hey Emma, I love that you're going to take the challenge to pique their curiosity about Bitcoin. I have a few questions that could be interesting to them.
Ask them where the money on your bank account is stored (centralized, 1 point of failure). Then show a Bitcoin wallet with some sats, preferably on a screen/monitor... E.g. Sparrow wallet or Coinos wallet with a self-custody wallet (coinos.io) wallet for a simpler UI Ask them where those Bitcoin are stored. They probably think it's inside the wallet, while it's on the Bitcoin blockchain. It's fun to show that this is stored on a huge amount of computers worldwide and every computer has a copy of who owns what.
Ask them how can you get a bank account? (You can't create a bank account) Ask permission and give a lot of personal details. Then ask how to create a Bitcoin wallet. They probably think you create an account somewhere (permission wise) through a middleman. Explain them that you can do it without internet, without a bank, without permission, even with rolling dice. Explain that all your Bitcoin are accessible by a very very big number. To use this number
Ask them who has access to your bank account and what can they do? They can freeze your account. Then ask them what can you do when you have lost your phone with a Bitcoin wallet on it. This is a self-custody wallet. You can restore it with your backup. Show a demo.
Ask them if you can send money to an email address? You can with a lightning address. Give a demo on screen with coinos.io. You can register for free and access your Bitcoin/Lightning wallet in your browser. You automatically get a lightning address. Send money to your lightning address for the WOW effect.
Ask them if you can give someone money digitally with a qrcode and show a demo with Lightning via https://tipcards.io. Send some sats to there with a fun custom message and receive it via Coinos.io.
What is a bitcoin node, and is it important?
Stay humble and stack zaps
I think most nostriches won't even know the answer to this one:
If the last block was mined 8 minutes ago, how long will it take for the next block to be mined?
Answer: aprox. 10 minutes
What happens when a halving occurs? Or how many blocks must be produced for a halving to happen?
How long will it take for the last Bitcoin to be mined? (40 years so I heard)
Maybe start out by explaining inflation. If every student has 10 sweets per week because of monetary support of their parents and now suddenly appears a new student that has a constant income of 100 sweets per week. What happens to the value of your sweets although you own the same amount now?
😍
>What is a Satoshi?
>How many sats in 1BTC
>How many Bitcoins will there ever be no matter what?
>What is Bitcoin?
>who is Satoshi Nakamoto? (Trick question) 😀
Good morning Tara ☕️
As mentioned, Tuttle Twins. And maybe show a simple chart of the price of btc over time, in relation to the dollar.

Los juegos de #tndhr son muy buenos deben crear su wallet ln y cuando juegan le llegan sats. Hay diferentes juegos para ir recaudando. Mi hija más chica tiene 8 juega y junta sus sats en su wallet. También hay un libro se llama BITCOIN MONEY mi hija lo leyó y yo tmb está muy bueno p explicar historia del dinero
How about fun trivia questions related to the logo?
Example: Why is the bitcoin logo orange? It was inspired by the mastercard brand colors https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1631.0;all
I think the history of how the logo was designed is fun to learn about and it shows how it was created organically by the public
Read them a book like The Bitcoin Money by Michael Caras and discuss with them every chapter. Ask for questions, and check their conclusions 🤷♂️
In nature, a seed grows and eventually provides us a free lunch. What is the human equivalent?
Answer: Kindness.
How does trust in another’s kindness get abused over time?
Answer: Relationship between expectation over time becomes known as interest rate, wherein 0% interest over infinite time is now called being kind.
What do you call it when unkind individuals decide to abuse trust?
Answer: This abuse is the charging of any non-zero % interest rate over any finite given period of time, also known as usury. In birthing suffering for the other, the individual is by default unkind.
How does usury drive all distrust across every historical currency?
Answer: Debt-based expectations and lender-borrower relationships push for slavery and other unkind obligations upon failure to fulfil one’s end of the deal.
What happened during the Great Fire of Parliament?
Answer: 600 years of Tally Stick monetary usury history was erased in a basement fire. The only surviving legacy is the label “Stock” which is today’s named “stock market”.
Why is gold price more-or-less the same across every corner of the planet?
Answer: In 1919, 5 persons met in a London office to decide the world benchmark price, daily, until 2005.
What is Bitcoin’s aim?
Answer: Bitcoin makes usury a risk, and anatocism (interest on interest) near impossible over lengthy periods of time.
Do any problems exist under a Bitcoin Standard?
Answer: Early adopters and their offsprings secure vastly disproportionate generational wealth at the expense of late bloomers, leading to an imbalanced economic vote against all poorer opposition.
What does Bitcoin fix?
Answer: Everything.
We use games ... HODL UP is a Bitcoin game that is similar to Catan in terms of luck vs strategy and time to play... a teacher friend of ours uses it in his high school class ...
Woooo 😍 Apologies for missing the deadline! We just discovered your account today and hope your project went well regardless. Love the idea ❤️👏 For the future, you might find some inspiration or even ready-made stuff on our website, especially in the Play-Printables section. We’re adding more content soon, including simple games and trivia (should be live before Christmas). Hopefully, they’ll be useful for your next idea. If you have any questions or need anything else, feel free to send us a DM or email. G'day ☺️
