Bitcoin 4 Youth: The Rise of a Sovereign Generation
Original | A Brief retrospect of youngsters in the Bitcoin community
Years ago, when we began creating simple Bitcoin printables for kids, our dream was to see more young people engage in the space.
Back then, even local meetups were missing family-friendly vibes, and larger events, mostly attended by men, offered very few options specifically designed for younger participants.
Fortunately, a lot has changed!
We know the future still holds more wonderful things to come. This is largely thanks to people who, like us, strive to inspire and support the next generation — open but not naïve, smart but not arrogant, and sovereign since they understand the important of sound money + freedom.
By the way, Sophia Prince (16 years old) beautifully captured her Bitcoin journey in one of the articles we published on our website a while ago ⤵️

The Fourth and Fifth Epoch... Young Bitcoiners in a Brief Retrospect:
Just this year (from March to June 2024), we witnessed incredible energy at Kids Blocks BitcoinAtlantis, where so many families took part from the very beginning, and where one of the scenes was almost entirely created by children and teens.
Day 2 was packed with excitement! 🎉 Engaging talks and fun activities at the Kids Block and Atlantic Bazaar made it memorable. Thanks to @MaritimoMadeira and all sponsors and partners.

Next, there was Bitcoin FilmFest with their European Halving Party, where youngsters actively engaged in the three-day event and took it over by co-creating an incredible youth-themed part of the program during family mornings and the entire kid-focused Sunday.
KUDOS to our younger guests 😍⚡️ for running the stage, joining panels, watching so many screenings, bringing in cool gadgets, painting, playing, having fun, and above all, for making this event exceptional. pic.twitter.com/zAwVa3cc9L

Finally, this summer at BTC Prague, children, teens, and whole families made up a large part of the participants. With plenty of space to play, perform, learn from each other, exchange experiences, and teach one another, they added many epic moments to the entire experience.
Amazing to see so many kiddos in here 😍 Oooooh, my! @BTCPrague made it great again https://t.co/Sa7929VdM3

Our hearts are filled with joy seeing youth actively shaping the future!
Kudos to the organizers, all the kids and teens, as well as their parents. The same goes to projects like Lightning Piggy, AmityAge, A Place To Be, Gamertron, Ro₿otechy, Geyser Fund, and many others. To projects that motivate and actively support the younger community in their extremely important, but still new and so hard work.
We're still waiting for August in Riga with Bitcoin Honeybadger, hoping to see plenty of families once again. Bitcoin 4 Youth, and Youth 4 Bitcoin.
