Trying to think through the best way to onboard kids to bitcoin.
The simplest approach I’ve come up with is Cash App. If a teen the kid can have a sponsored account.
So if a kid babysits, and they get paid 40 bucks. Usually cash. They give the parent the $40. Parents send them 40 to Cash App. Then they can save x% in bitcoin and have the other spending money.
The problem is it’s custodial until 18.
Curious to see how others are tackling this?

Curious… are there any good bitcoin books in the personal finance space? Like Ramsey/Orman/Bach type books? Not their advice, but that type of thing.
I’ve read a lot of the stuff out there and haven’t found anything that really takes this angle.
I was thinking about this because my kid’s high school personal finance curriculum is using Ramsey material…
