Too Long; Didn't Read
There’s lots of talk about how mass adoption of digital currency depends on getting kids interested. I think this is somewhat wrong. Kids are are already familiar with digital payments because of their experience with video in-game tokens, pre-paid credit cards, and gift cards. Sure, these things aren’t genuine cryptocurrencies in that they are simply converted from cash. Realistically, however, this is what Bitcoin is to most people right now. Something you buy with cash and can be sold for cash. What’s really missing is a larger economic infrastructure that lets people use crypto for day-to-day activities. If the infrastructure were there, kids could easily translate their experience with in-game currencies into using digital currency for day-to-day purchases.
