The world has changed drastically due to the innovations that have been made. These innovations include the way to save, we can no longer just give children a small piggy bank or their favorite animal, but we can use other methods that allow them to save.

In recent years the shape and management of the economy has changed. Other actors have been involved who have come to resize the way of conceiving transactions. Digital money enters as a form of payment and investment, more recently cryptocurrencies have had an active participation in these spheres.

Cryptocurrencies have come to stay and more in a highly technical society. Large and small have a knowledge at least of what Bitcoin (BTC) is, one of the best known cryptos and in which they have the greatest confidence.

Bitcoin has appeared in several TV series, movies and even in a children's program, so trying to explain to children what it is and the importance it has in the financial field is easier. There is already a considerable bibliography that tells us about how the smallest of the house can be educated on the blockchain.

In the book "B is for Bitcoin" by the writer Graeme Moore he allows an approach at a very young age about this currency and the blockchain. This book describes and explains to the little ones how this currency works. In addition, this author handles a simple, entertaining, precise and age-appropriate language. It is a book that can be bought for children between the ages of two and up, because as is known at this age children do not read, so with the help of their parents they can understand and understand what the text says.

However, this is not the only way to get to know or introduce children to this part of the technology that will serve them in the future. At Wooranna Park Primary School (Melbourne, Australia) primary and secondary students are taught about blockchain technology and its potentials.

Likewise, in Venezuela a teacher dedicated herself to teaching in her classrooms how Bitcoin can help them in their economy and that of their families. This teacher dedicated herself to researching and transmitting to her students the necessary knowledge so that her students, many of them low-income, could understand and bet on another form of economy.

Applications like Pigzbe created by Filippo Yacob allow the little ones to understand the complex world of cryptocurrencies. It is a very simple application and while the children carry out the small activities in the game or at home, they can be rewarded, since the application has a wallet for the children and for all the members of the family. This is a way to teach children not only about money, but the importance of work and its rewards.

And it is that the world of cryptocurrencies that everyone might think is restricted to the world of adults, we meet Kamea Aloha Jr. (Hawaii), a child of only 9 years old who has a YouTube channel where he receives more than 30 thousand visits. In his channel CryptoCoinKid Kamea explains about the world of cryptocurrencies for adults and children in a simple way, in clear and precise language.

In addition, of these projects there are many others that are trying to educate and for children and young people to adopt this type of technology, blockchain, for all that it represents in a world that every day seeks to be more decentralized.

Education in this type of technology would provide benefits to those young people who are marginalized and in a situation of poverty, with this education they would be given a future in which to develop their potential and thus break the poverty cycles to which a great deal has been plunged. part of the youth population.

This technology seeks to provide the learning and educational opportunities that the future of young people need, in a world where digital technologies are at the forefront.
