For Kids and Parents
Learn About Bitcoin Together
Written for children, guided by parents.
Sit down together. A simple family guide to what Bitcoin is, why your family may save it, and how children can prepare gradually, without taking on responsibility before they are ready.
Tip: Take turns reading a paragraph each.
One idea, explored three ways
Pick a chapter of Evie's Field Guide. See how your child meets it, what you can do together, and where to read more.
Blocks are found by many machines guessing, and Bitcoin re-tunes itself to keep a steady pace.
For your child
In Evie's Bitcoin Adventure: the Mining Works, chapter 1 of the Field Guide.
Together
Make it fair again
Invent a game, make it too easy, then agree a rule that keeps it fair without anyone in charge.
For you
More on this is being written.
For a trusted person
Nothing to do here. Bitcoin keeps running on its own rules, so nothing needs doing in a hurry.
Talk about it
One question for the two of you
If a game got too easy, how would you make it fair again?
Block space is limited, so payments wait, and the fee for the space decides who goes first.
For your child
In Evie's Bitcoin Adventure: the Mempool Halls, chapter 2 of the Field Guide.
Together
The family fee round
One of you runs the hall, the other sends a payment: wait, or pay more?
Two roles, one device: Runs the hall and Sends the payment
For you
For a trusted person
A payment that is waiting is not lost. Never pay anyone to speed one up; start with the Emergency Kit.
Play the family fee round
One of you runs the hall and decides, in secret, how busy it is. The other sends a payment and picks a fee. Then swap.
Runs the hall and Sends the payment
A short list of words can rebuild a wallet, so the words stay secret, in order and offline.
For your child

Together
Keeper and spotter
One of you keeps an example card of secret words; the other reads out the visitors who want them.
Two roles, one device: Keeps the secret and Reads the visitors
For you
For a trusted person
Never ask for, accept or pass on recovery words. Genuine help never needs them.
Play keeper and spotter
One of you keeps an example card of secret words. The other plays the visitors who want them, reading each one out loud. Then swap, and the visitors get cleverer.
Keeps the secret and Reads the visitors
One key is one point of failure; two of three means one can be lost and none can act alone.
For your child
In Evie's Bitcoin Adventure: the Key Chamber, chapter 4 of the Field Guide.
Together
Two of three, pass and play
One of you hides three keys; the other picks what goes wrong. Can the vault still open, and can a stranger open it alone?
Two roles, one device: Hides the keys and Picks what goes wrong
For you
For a trusted person
You may be one part of a plan. Your part is knowing who to contact, not holding everything yourself.
Play two of three
One of you is the Keeper and hides the three keys. The other is the Trickster and picks what goes wrong. Decide who goes first.
Hides the keys and Picks what goes wrong
Saving is a plan: small amounts in sats add up, and new bitcoin arrive more slowly over time.
For your child
In Evie's Bitcoin Adventure: the Sat Vaults, chapter 5 of the Field Guide.
Together
A saving plan
Choose something to save for together, and decide what waiting is worth.
For you
For a trusted person
There is rarely a need to rush. Start with the people the plan names, through the channels it names.
Talk about it
One question for the two of you
What is something you saved up for? How long did it take?
No account needed. Your adventure progress stays on this device and is not sent to us. You can clear it at any time.
Simple Ways to Understand Bitcoin
Bitcoin is the digital money. A wallet is one of the tools used to control it. Talk through these four ideas together:
A Scarce Kind of Digital Money
Bitcoin is money that lives on the internet. The rules limit the supply to 21 million bitcoin, so it is scarce: more like a limited-edition trading card than something that can be printed without limit.
Talk about it: What’s something rare you own or wish you owned?
Money That Can Be Held Directly
Bitcoin can be held without relying entirely on a bank or exchange. That freedom is useful, and it is also why trusted adults and advisers often share the work of looking after it.
Talk about it: Who would you trust with a spare key to something important?
A Network with Fixed Rules
Bitcoin’s network is protected by strong mathematical rules. No central operator can change the supply or switch off the network. Access still depends on how keys, devices, backups, and emergencies are handled in real life.
Talk about it: What rules help keep things fair in games or at home?
Something Families May Save for the Future
Bitcoin has been running since 2009, longer than many kids have been alive. Families who save it often want the next generation to recognise the basics early, so the topic feels familiar later on.
Talk about it: What technology do you think will still be around when you’re an adult?
Why Your Family May Care
Saving Makes More Sense
Bitcoin is a practical way to talk about scarcity, patience, and why some things are hard to replace.
Continuity Feels Less Sudden
If Bitcoin is part of a longer family plan, learning early helps children feel included without becoming the decision-makers.
Better Questions Online
Security literacy helps kids ask careful questions and spot common scams, long before anyone shares real recovery details.

Preparing Children Gradually
A simple three-stage model:
1
Learn
Basic concepts and shared family vocabulary.
2
Practise
Safe examples, simulations, and non-sensitive walkthroughs. Never the family’s real recovery information.
3
Prepare
Document who to contact, what legal authority is required, and how recovery works when adults need to act.
When you are ready for the adult layer, explore family Bitcoin planning or education services. Sensitive rehearsal materials stay with your adviser relationship, not on this public page.
Questions You Might Have
Am I too young to learn about Bitcoin?
No. Start with simple ideas now, and add more detail as you get older. You do not need the whole picture on day one.
What if I make a mistake?
That is normal when learning anything new. Practise with safe examples first, before anyone is responsible for anything important.
Is Bitcoin safe?
The network is very secure. Most problems come from lost access, exposed private information, the wrong service, or no recovery plan. Adults and advisers handle that planning.
What happens to family Bitcoin in an emergency?
Parents can set up a plan so trusted adults, executors, and advisers know what to do. Children should not have to solve it alone.
Ready for the Next Step?
