Lol no way! I just don't login to Steem enough lately and want you to have some Smart to pass around to interested parties. Besides i think i just killed the bot LOL
Wow, thanks for the post @lukestokes, it warmed my heart! Glad you teached your son about SmartCash, hopefully he will be in the generation where using it is common. This will be my first resteem and i'm sure we can polish his 'Christmas Money' up a bit!
Yeah, I left a comment already, but the SmartRewards community already dropped some donations his way! He's so excited about it. Pretty cool thing to wake up to. He's going to be telling his friends about it, for sure.
Last Christmas, one of the gifts I gave my son was a Bitcoin paper wallet for 0.01 BTC, advising him to not touch it for at least several years. It's gone up in value not quite 1000% since then.
I can teach him about crypto, but his entrepreneurial spirit is something he's learned all on his own. He'll go far in life.
Love the concept of teaching kids about money that's based on a "proof of work" instead of the FRN route. Personally...I'm a late comer to this game and have a LOT of catching up to do. It sickens me to know that I could have invested one or two thousand dollars in bitcoin back in 2008 and ended up not doing it because I didn't understand it.
Peace man...glad to see there are good dads out there like you. Upvoted!
Also, you say your trading cryptos now? By what means? Through what platform? Do you day trade or are these long term holds. I just recently opened up a coinbase and Poloniex account, but I have literally NO IDEA what I'm doing.
Yeah, I've been trading off and on since 2013. Coinbase is a good fiat on-ramp, but ultimately you want to keep your cryptocurrency stored in paper wallets or hardware wallets like a Ledger Nano S or Trezor. As for trading, I had some issues with Poloniex a while back, so I'm avoiding them for now. Bittrex is pretty good and if you have Coinbase you can also use GDax (owned by the same company). For SmartCash I've used HitBTC and Cryptopia. I have a lot of exchange accounts. I'd also highly recommend getting into the BitShares world as it's a decentralized exchange meaning you own your own cryptocurrency because you control the private key (no centralized third party you have to trust). Here's my referral link if you want to create an account there: https://wallet.bitshares.org/?r=luke-stokes (scroll down on my latest post on BitShares to see links to all my old BitShares posts with tons of information, including how you can short the USD using bitUSD. Definitely check that stuff out.)
Cryptocurrency trading is a wild and crazy ride. You can learn a lot, but only play with what you're willing to lose. As for learning, I suggest searching for some popular YouTube videos to get started.

Would you mind taking a look at the comments on this post? @decentralizd tried to tip me a large amount but it didn't go through the first time and the second time went to a non-existent steem account due to a typo. Third time didn't go through (I don't think).
Your son is a lucky one. Wished I was his age when I got into crypto (Oh yeah, at that age there was no crypto). I can imagine how fast he'd grab the concept and in ten years time he'd be a wealthy cryptocurrency guru. Doing a lot of great things, but not too late for me, we are still early adopters, greater things still ahead. It is an adventure worth taking. No regrets. Thanks for sharing, now I'd show it to my cousin who thinks he's too young to learn about cryptocurrency :)
Awesome post Luke. I've been teaching friends at work and my wife about Crypto, and it is like a foreign language sometimes. Explaining it to one co-worker I ended up making him consider why our fiat paper money having value is so different than BTC or other cryptos. He still had a hard time accepting it, haha.
Thankfully my wife has a better grasp, so we've recently been talking about how we want to integrate crypto into our kids savings. My son has been working and saving every fiat dollar he earns to buy a kayak, but your post got me thinking to maybe start teaching him about crypto too. He's 7, my daughter is 4 (so not quite earning the same principles yet).
I'm looking forward to getting my first smart rewards in a couple days; I bought Smartcash when you first starting talking about it. Now seems like a good time to buy more, and it could be an encouraging one for kids because of the Smart rewards.
I remember when I was younger buying a CD would give a good return on savings after one year. We looked into CDs for our kids and I couldn't believe how bad the interest rates were. Pointless. I figure when they're adults, crypto savings accounts I start now could be worth a lot more and a bigger part of how money functions in our world (hopefully).
As I've been saying, @Lukestokesmhth for top witness people! ;)

One of the biggest problems with crypto-currencies is that they aren't tangible. You can't see them laying there. You can't go through your couch cushions to see if any fell out of your wallet.
If you don't remember you had them, and as you get more coins and more wallets, then they just fall into the memory hole.
I know this will be solved in the near future. (near meaning decades)

@lukestokes very happy to start the day by reading this nice post! We must give the new generations the right keys to open the doors of a new world. Humanity is capable of it, it is a long way and it will not happen tomorrow, but together we can accomplish beautiful things as long as they are motivated by noble intentions. I truely believe @smartcash is one of them and that is why I am so happy to give some of my time to this great project.
Excellent! I'm so glad this post encouraged you. :) Yeah, I've been impressed with the people in the SmartCash Slack. I hope this project does very well.

Thanks Dayne! Yeah, check it out. It has some pretty cool things going for it and an active hive community concept so that anyone can get paid to do things which benefit the network.
Yeah it's really great to see your child and you and really you are good father and your son in his early stage knows anything about market and we perform better in future.
Sir I had also suggested one of my friend name @googlee about the conversation made with you and then after he put his $1,500 to steem.
Wow, that's fantastic!
I think I have to research SmartCash now...
I actually think that children are way more open (and unconditioned) to understand this new kind of money much quicker than we do/did. I wonder how many 8 year old's will be trading on exchanges soon 😄
Yeah, it's a paradigm shift many are not easily able to make. Just this morning, he was explaining it to Aria (his 6yo sister) that SmartCash really is "real money." She was like, "I want SmartCash too!" :)
LOL they seem to be smart.
People on the other end of the spectrum begin to get it, too, though. I recently got an email from a woman, saying, "Anja, I am 70 years old but I am fascinated by this new kind of money you are talking about!"
Crypto is the future, therefore it's our job as a parent to introduce to the kids at there young age. @lukestokes you are the best example of a responsible father.
Haha awesome! And don't think I've ever heard a child saying Bitcoin before so its rather strange. Maybe one day nobody will say Bitcoin or whatever coin anymore.. hmm. Just back to saying.. money?
Never had much luck with the paying for chores concept. They never had any money and I was frustrated because chores never got done. I changed to a system where they always get their pocket money no matter what ($0.5 per year of age per week) and chores are an expectation of a functional family. Failure to do chores meant loss of privilege etc. This way chores tended to get done and they always had money of their own even from a very young age. My youngest is now 18 and I switched his pocket money about 6 months ago to Ether and Bitcoin. He never asks me for money. He always has some.
My kids beg to do the chores because they really want the money. They sometimes argue with each other for who gets to do what. Maybe you weren't paying enough. :) You have to match supply and demand curves.
That is great but i think here on steemit big power holder have little heart they don t share something with others for there good even a vote they did give others true they are earning from those votes comments thank you.
I think you've met the wrong "power holders". Social media is what you make of it. If you follow and interact with awesome people, you'll have an awesome time.

I made some Dash off of Reddit comments a few years about that's now worth like $50 bucks. I think it might have been worth $1 or $2 back then. Crypto Hodling is awesome.
Oh cool! There are a number of various meetups (check meetup.com), though I haven't been very active with them lately. I used to run a bitcoin meetup back in 2013/2014 but it ended up morphing into a non-profit that ended up being a big waste of time.

Excellent! I'm so glad this post encouraged you. :) Yeah, I've been impressed with the people in the SmartCash Slack. I hope this project does very well.
Brilliant boy ! Best of luck !!
This is really cool! I need to set some coin aside for my son. He definitely has an interest.
If only I could get my desktop wallet to sync properly. Downloaded the latest version but it is stuck at 19 weeks. Blergh!
Ping in #support in slack and they can get it cleaned up in no time, also may want to consider using wallet.smartcash.cc for a replacement if you hate keeping synced up daily.

As long as he comes up with a way to provide value to his fellow human beings, he'll do well.
Amazing article and a lot of good stuff to learn from it. That kid is SMART, just like his Dad ;)
Hahah. Thanks, and thanks for the Twitter love and Smart tips in Slack. Much appreciated!
Very fun!
Ok... You got me interested. I am going to have to read through your other posts about SmartCash and get up to speed.
Thanks Dayne! Yeah, check it out. It has some pretty cool things going for it and an active hive community concept so that anyone can get paid to do things which benefit the network.
Already did! 👍
I have my wallet ready for SmartRewards! :)
Can't seem to join the slack group though. Looks like they are at capacity there.

Well that's a bummer. Huh. I just tried to invite you directly as well and got this:
I posted about it there. I'll let you know what they say.
Usage:
tip <username> <amount>Ah... Looks like they have a lot of invitations floating out there that have not been redeemed.
Bummer.
They just announced they are moving to Discord: https://discord.gg/BDUh8jr
Seems someone was spamming their invitation link and Slack can't do anything to fix it, so they are moving on.
Yeah it's really great to see your child and you and really you are good father and your son in his early stage knows anything about market and we perform better in future.
Sir I had also suggested one of my friend name @googlee about the conversation made with you and then after he put his $1,500 to steem.
Steem On!
I hope that investment does very well for them.
Wow, that's fantastic!
I think I have to research SmartCash now...
I actually think that children are way more open (and unconditioned) to understand this new kind of money much quicker than we do/did. I wonder how many 8 year old's will be trading on exchanges soon 😄
Yeah, it's a paradigm shift many are not easily able to make. Just this morning, he was explaining it to Aria (his 6yo sister) that SmartCash really is "real money." She was like, "I want SmartCash too!" :)
LOL they seem to be smart.
People on the other end of the spectrum begin to get it, too, though. I recently got an email from a woman, saying, "Anja, I am 70 years old but I am fascinated by this new kind of money you are talking about!"
The shift is happening everywhere :)
Crypto is the future, therefore it's our job as a parent to introduce to the kids at there young age. @lukestokes you are the best example of a responsible father.
Thank you so much for saying so.
Great read and well done to your teaching skills
Thank you!
Haha awesome! And don't think I've ever heard a child saying Bitcoin before so its rather strange. Maybe one day nobody will say Bitcoin or whatever coin anymore.. hmm. Just back to saying.. money?
Hahah! I think that's certainly a possibility. Money will be thought of as language, something we use to express ourselves.
Never had much luck with the paying for chores concept. They never had any money and I was frustrated because chores never got done. I changed to a system where they always get their pocket money no matter what ($0.5 per year of age per week) and chores are an expectation of a functional family. Failure to do chores meant loss of privilege etc. This way chores tended to get done and they always had money of their own even from a very young age. My youngest is now 18 and I switched his pocket money about 6 months ago to Ether and Bitcoin. He never asks me for money. He always has some.
My kids beg to do the chores because they really want the money. They sometimes argue with each other for who gets to do what. Maybe you weren't paying enough. :) You have to match supply and demand curves.
I can't wait to be able to teach my child.
You're going to love it. And it will be the hardest thing you've ever done.
I'm sure your kid will be a genius at relationships, social media, and cryptocurrency.
That's so cool!
The earlier they adopt, the merrier.
I guess you're a great father and teacher, and your son is as smart as you are :-)
Looking forward to more stories from "The Crypto Stokes"!
Resteemed
Thanks for sharing!
I like "The Crypto Stokes" idea. Heheh... maybe we should do more videos together.
nice picter
That is great but i think here on steemit big power holder have little heart they don t share something with others for there good even a vote they did give others true they are earning from those votes comments thank you.
@smartbot tip @alidervash 50
I think you've met the wrong "power holders". Social media is what you make of it. If you follow and interact with awesome people, you'll have an awesome time.

Yeah, hitting that 1,000 Smart mark is nice as that's when the Smart Rewards kick in.
such a good son you have..Huh??
That's awesome.
I made some Dash off of Reddit comments a few years about that's now worth like $50 bucks. I think it might have been worth $1 or $2 back then. Crypto Hodling is awesome.
Very nice! I love stories like that.
I guess if an 8 year old boy can learn, so can I! lol
That's the spirit!
very nice. the younger the better. in 10 years there are no banks anymore.
Or at least they won't be the only option available to us. I love systems like BitShares that let us trade and hold all within the same wallet system.
Hi Luke, I've been enjoying the posts. Keep it up! I am moving to Nashville Jan 2018 -- are you aware of any good crypto-interest meetups going on?
Oh cool! There are a number of various meetups (check meetup.com), though I haven't been very active with them lately. I used to run a bitcoin meetup back in 2013/2014 but it ended up morphing into a non-profit that ended up being a big waste of time. I've been getting a lot of value out of online meetups and discussions like this. Let me know when you show up, maybe we can get some steemians together for a meal.
A father must be like you, a true teacher, guardian, you will be the role model of your son.
Thank you. I'm doing the best I can. It's certainly not easy.
Yes I can understand but still the best part is you're making an attempt and you will be succeeded
SO AWESOME! I wish our kiddo would understand the value... Instead she rolls her eyes at the work bitcoin. lol
Give her time. She'll get there once she sees the value and watches all her friends get into it.
Yes... if parents do it, it can't possibly be cool! lol
You are great papa @lukestokes, you should proud of yourself. Nice job 👍
Thank you. I am. :)
Ur welcome
