Parents in Bitcoin
2024-11-16 , Finney Stage

Some Bitcoiners are parents. Some of their kids are Bitcoiners themselves. How do we talk to our kids about Bitcoin? Are there philosophical differences that extend outside the specifics of Bitcoin itself that also influences our parenting?

At the age of 30 Jens Wegmann left the public school system and became the principal of a Montessori school in Germany. He gained deep insights into the education system and decided to do things differently. His school is considered the No. 1 Bitcoin school in Germany. As a huge fan of the Montessori method, he is teaching self-efficacy and therefore also brings Bitcoin into the classroom. His major goal is to bring Bitcoin in schools throughout Germany.
