Some of the examples of these books are Goodnight Bitcoin by Scott Sibley and Maria Llorens, which recounts how Satoshi Nakamoto created Bitcoin and sent the first Bitcoin to Hal Finney, and Bitcoin Money: A Tale of Bitville Discovering Good Money by Michael Caras and Marina Yakubivska, which follows a boy named Leo who discovers Bitcoin and learns how it works and why it’s better than other forms of money. These books have received positive reviews and ratings from readers and even some famous Bitcoin investors.

The authors of these books believe that kids have a natural advantage when it comes to understanding and learning about Bitcoin, because they don’t have the baggage of thinking it’s new or different. They also believe that exposing kids to Bitcoin early on can help them form their own opinions and confidence about it later in life.

However, not everyone may agree with this approach and may argue that it’s a form of indoctrination or brainwashing. They may question whether kids should be exposed to such complex and controversial topics at a young age, or whether they should be taught about other forms of money and economics as well.

What do you think about this topic? Do you think Bitcoin kids books are a good idea or a bad idea? Have you read or gifted any Bitcoin books to kids?
