One of the sought after investments in this generation is the crypto world and forex. These words seem to be similar however there's a thin line that explains the two but both hold high profile especially to the kids. When I saw this topic, I wasn't surprised because that has been my desire to see how curriculum can be redesigned to capture some life scenarios where a child can be properly tutored. I have been thinking of starting a school where special skills and entrepreneurship courses will be enshrined in.
One of the challenging moments we have in the present world is tie to the issue of investment. Many people don't have good principles and techniques in terms of investment. While many don't have any plans for their children's future. It's high time that we begin to make good plans and decisions towards the life of our children.
What's crypto? This entails digital money which is not being supervised or controlled by the government. You could buy and sell online but it's volatile because the prices aren't the same. They varied a lot. Forex at the other end simply means trading currencies like dollars,naira.
The big question is should children learn or invest in crypto?would it be too early to begin such? One of the advantages of kids learning crypto is that it teaches and exposes them to financial education on time. Sometimes when I reflect through my life and consider some of the opportunities I missed when I was much younger hmmm I never wished my kids will miss he same. In order to curb this, there is no age that is too small for one to begin financial education. When you get them at tender stage, it will save a lot at the later part of life. If a child learns investment at young age, it will help to reduce the effect of financial pressure on the parents.
In Nigeria my beautiful country, many people still battle with crypto and forex as a source of investment. Some because of the financial negative experiences they had, chose not to even give a chance to anything called block chain. They believe it's a fraudulent and bad investment that one could do. I believe we can change the narrative if we want to alleviate the financial life of our people.
Some other school of thought believe that crypto and forex makes the young and youth lazy in seeking for financial independence whereas others sees it as something that won't last for a while. Hmmmm imagine when Bitcoin came on board and many of us invested what would have become of us now? The investment would have yielded lots of profit now. I learnt that someone bought a coin for his ward and after some years it metamorphosied to millions of naira in Nigeria currency.
There are different investments packages but for me crypto is good thing to be done in this present generation.
Thanks so much for reading through and all comments appreciated. Special thanks to all the management and participants.
