This evening I spend time teaching children about bitcoin. 11 years old was easily creating a new seed with nostr:npub17tyke9lkgxd98ruyeul6wt3pj3s9uxzgp9hxu5tsenjmweue6sqq4y3mgl and we used bluewallet to export the xpub. We wrote down the seed words and verified them. Signed a PSBT. Talked about devaluating currency with the Venezuelan (πŸ™nostr:npub1kvfz8rglvpsqevznlt86ukcz0s9uap3pypjwd3tnmkn2pgjmjujqlncy2c) and Zimbabwean (πŸ™nostr:npub1dergggklka99wwrs92yz8wdjs952h2ux2ha2ed598ngwu9w7a6fsh9xzpc ) notes. Explained the nostr:npub18d4r6wanxkyrdfjdrjqzj2ukua5cas669ew2g5w7lf4a8te7awzqey6lt3 on their phones. They loved magic internet money and asked a thousand questions. It was beautiful.

Already understanding money more than most recent Nobel Prize Economists.

Parents:

- buying an Apple Watch: 409,-

- baking delicious cookies: 34,99

- keeping you warm under a nice blanket 59,99

- buying a Nintendo Switch 289,-

- teaching bitcoin: priceless πŸ€“

- It’s not an Apple Watch

- My wife baked the carrot cake, it was ~€3,80

- The blanket comes from action and is actually <€10,-

- The Nintendo switch I agree, but the 11 year old is a master at cooperative strategy games with friends. I have to say games taught me a lot on my over a thousand guilder PC when I was a kid…

The emphasis was on the priceless part πŸ˜‰

Definitely not meant as an attack on your spending habits ✌️

And I wholeheartedly agree on the lessons learnt with videogames ☺️

I knew it was not an attack, just love to show off our minimalism πŸ˜‰

thank you for sharing this. 🧑

Thats awesome education!

It also shows how far we have come when an 11 year old can do self custody πŸ”₯
