Later today ill be babysitting my nephew he is 10. He's on summer vacation and I can tell he is bored. Makes me sad a bit that he doesnt have kids his age around where he lives and it seems like kids dont get together like they used to to hang out. Lucky for him, I'm the cool active uncle so I try to see him often to kick the soccer ball around, go to the pool, talk, play fifa etc. When I was younger I was blessed most the families on my road had kids my age so we were always outside playing basketball, street hockey, roller blading, playing made up games. It's how I became so competitive, I was usually the youngest and at a disadvantage but I would practice a lot after we hung out and I eventually started winning in all the games we played until most of my friends didnt want to play anymore because they couldnt win ๐Ÿ˜‚ .

Back to my nephew. I'm thinking of setting him up on a weekly allowance of Bitcoin for during chores in the house for his parents. I'm going do a weekly chart of multiple tasks and he will have to get it checked off for each day. Do you all have any good ideas of good things I can reward him for doing daily like making his bed?

I'm deciding between Breez and Phoenix. Leaning towards Breez because the apps tab that has bitrefill. This way he can buy Playstation gift cards himself and hopefully he thinks twice about it after he truly starts embracing stacking sats and savings. Shill me the easiest self custodial lightning wallet if you think it would be suited better for this use case.

My newphew told me a couple weeks ago he wants to save money so he can go to the USA to watch World Cup games live in 2026. Im hoping the bull market is around the corner and it opens his eyes to why saving in something scarce like Bitcoin is the way to go. The orange pilling has begun.

Anything zapped on this post will go to my nephew later after I set him up on Breez.

Also he got this for me a couple months ago for my birthday ๐Ÿ’œ. I got it on my work desk.

Wish me Luck!

In addition to these great suggestions, maybe encourage him to do things like a summer reading goal (can be anything as long as he finds it interesting), researching things he finds interesting, etc

Also, 10 years old is old enough to learn to help with laundry, dishes, light help cleaning around the house and outside yardwork ๐Ÿ˜ƒ
