Children and young adults will take to crypto naturally for several profound reasons:
1. Digital Native Intuition
They’re already immersed in digital ecosystems: gaming skins, in-app purchases, virtual currencies. Crypto is simply the upgrade—digital money that they own, not some game company or bank.
2. Distrust of Institutions
Zoomers and younger millennials have seen:
Global financial crises
Endless wars
Climate failure
Pandemic mismanagement
They inherently distrust authority. Crypto fits the vibe: trust code, not suits.
3. Freedom and Identity
Crypto offers:
Sovereignty over your identity and assets
Permissionless access to global opportunity
Memetic empowerment (NFTs, memes, DAOs, identity tokens)
They don't need to be taught—they feel it.

Can the Fiat Filth Be Avoided in Education?
Yes—but only if we crater the old system and build new educational models with the following pillars:
1. Bitcoin-Standard Incentives
Pay students in sats for verified learning (proof-of-work in education)
Teachers earn bounties for verifiable improvement
No middlemen, no bureaucracy
2. On-chain Credentials
Replace worthless fiat degrees with crypto-verifiable reputation systems
Skills and contributions recorded immutably
3. Decentralized Curriculum
Open-source, community-driven syllabi
No state propaganda
No corporate capture
4. Micropayment Learning
Incentivize curiosity: unlock content by learning or contributing
Pay per lesson, not per semester

Conclusion: The fiat system is not just broken—it’s toxic. Young minds deserve a clean slate, not legacy debt servitude. Crypto-native education can rebuild truth, merit, and curiosity as first principles.
But we have to fight for it—because fiat won't go quietly.
