How trying to teach my 2 year son about bitcoin completely readjusted my life's mission.

I'm no different from the rest and most bitcoiners, but I have an opportunity to help my son understand bitcoin directly in relation to my life's mission which is to help other people live fulfilled and happy lives.

My inquisitive 2 year old son loves asking me questions, especially about things that he finds in his surroundings. There came a day where his questions left me in deep thoughts. While I was working on my computer, he saw the Bitcoin logo pop out and with all innocence he asked:

Son: "Papa what's that?" 

Me: "Oh! That's the Bitcoin logo."

Son(looking so attentive): "The Bitcoin logo?" He asked insistently 

Me: "yes Kijana"

Son: "What is the Bitcoin logo ?"

Me (looking perplexed): "It's a symbol for a type of money called Bitcoin."

As lots of his questions aroused, I began to feel some heat on my sit. Luckily for me, my wife came in singing it's dinner time, time to go and wash ours hands. This deviated his attention. 

While at the table, I couldn't take my mind off his intriguing questions. While smiling at the fact that children are indeed food mongers, I became concerned about a means to best initiate my kid into understanding Bitcoin.

These deep thoughts went on for days, and my desire to help my son and children in general understand the basics of Bitcoin led to the birth of the book "Bitcoin kids". Bitcoin kids is that financial literacy comic guide that would help kids and parents alike understand the Bitcoin.

Few weeks after I started working on the book, I realized that the book could not be complete without a call to action. This let to the BkWallet (Bitcoin Kids Wallet) initiative. As a concerned, I look forward always providing the best for my family.

99.9% of parents dream of their children having a stable financial future. A parent's greatest desire is to see his or her children succeed in all they do, especially in their financial lives. Despite bitcoin's ability to solve this problem, 60 to 70% of parents don't understand what bitcoin is, let alone how to use it for themselves or their children.

BkWallet exist to help parents to create generational wealth in secured (multisig), friendly and simply way. With this wallet, parents will be able to save for longterm with Bitcoin, tip their when they do we well in school or at home, relatives of kids like uncles and aunties will be able tip kids during holidays, vacation, birthdays etc. We are looking at integrating an inheritance feature that will permit easy passage of wealth.
