If you were to teach youth about BTC, what would be the most important lessons or concepts you think they should know?
I think the most important lessons for kids aren't necessarily about Bitcoin, but about responsibility.
I'd start with the basics: personal finance, money management, and the difference between 'Easy' and 'Hard' money. It might sound boring at first, but if the learning is hands-on, like managing a small budget or earning sats for chores, the lessons stick.
Once they understand that money is just a way to store their time and effort, Bitcoin will make sense.
sybil resistance, the byzantine generals problem, nakamoto consensus, applied cryptography
theory of money, medium of exchange, store of value, commodity money, fiat money, technology of money, seigniorage, fractional reserve banking, rehypothecation, cantillon effect, gresham's law, gold standard, centralized ledger, distributed ledger
On the theory/history side
On the practical side
I wrote a book Bitcoin, Hands-On: 28 “learn-by-doing” exercises to master the basics of managing your own Bitcoin, including wallets, transactions, and self custody. It goes through a lot of exercises that teach these practical basics.
