The use of cryptocurrencies is already an undeniable reality. Being part of the current lifestyle, a good debate that we can open has to do with the possibility of financial education reaching the classroom and children being able to understand certain basic economic notions about Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies to help them in their transition. to adult life.
For now, some parents have chosen to educate their children in cryptocurrencies and share their educational works with the rest of the world.
When children grow up, they will use Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies, so “it makes sense to start integrating Bitcoin into learning as soon as possible,” according to Scott Sibley, one of the many authors who write children’s books about crypto.

Scott and Mallory Sibley are a married couple who found a gap in the way of teaching cryptocurrencies to children and decided to take matters into their own hands:
“Financial education that includes Bitcoin is something that children are not going to receive in most ‘traditional’ schools. So right now it’s up to bitcoiner parents to find a way to provide that education at home.”
Their star work is a book called Goodnight Bitcoin, in which they tell the origin and uses of the queen cryptocurrency through different characters. It is part of a style of books to read before bed, which are very popular especially in the United States (Goodnight Moon, Goodnight Hockey, Goodnight Soccer). Future plans for this product include an animated movie.
In addition to this book, they have developed other Bitcoin-related educational tools such as SHAmory, launched in mid-2020 as the first and only Bitcoin card game authenticated by the multinational STEM educational company and awarded best of 2021 by Newswek and Stem. org.

His masterpiece, at the moment, is Bitcoin for Kiddos: The Story of Bitcoin, which was born from the lack of educational material for children around this digital asset. They wanted to start a fun and engaging dialogue with their own children on the subject of money and where Bitcoin fits in, how the world is constantly changing around us and money is changing too.
“We believe that Bitcoin is a monetary system that provides a level playing field and will give our children the best chance for a bright future.”
