The efforts of a 9-year-old boy show that bitcoin () is for everyone and educating bitcoin is for all ages. Henry, who lives in the United Kingdom, gave a lecture about Bitcoin to his classmates in a fun and engaging presentation.
Cointelegraph talked to the mother of Henry, an author and supporter of Bitcoin that goes through Decentrasuze on social media, to learn more.

Decentrasuze, or Susie alone, said Henry gave the lecture to his classmates to help them learn more about a topic he finds fascinating, probably because his mother and father are passionate about Bitcoin: Her dad and I have been talking about it. Her dad and I have been talking about it.'
A curious and inquisitive child, Henry was "unscrewing his cot at the age of 18 months to see what’s inside,” so naturally, he asks a lot of questions. But while the children of Henry's class had lectured on coding or space, Henry set himself up on Bitcoin.
The conference was successful, Susie said, "He was buzzing when he came out; so happy. "He roared when he came out, so happy." The presentation is a quirky example of Bitcoin's growing popularity and understanding among younger generations.
Henry had included a gif of his Cat called Molly as well as pictures of himself dressed up as a gangster–much to his classmates’ amusement–to demonstrate that Bitcoin is not for criminals.
But did Henry manage to "plunder orange" his classmates on Bitcoin? Susie said that when he asked her son how it went, Henry replied:
“I don’t really know. You never really know with kids!”
Henry will be reassured by the efforts of organizations like My First Bitcoin, the El Salvador-based education program for kids, or even the Bitcoin toys, books and games that are available to help children learn about money and Bitcoin.
Sadly, and in spite of Henry's best efforts, his friend Willliam said he could be interested in dogecoin (). William joins Elon Musk in supporting the crypto token that was coded up for fun but still pumps every time multibillionaire Musk mentions the meme in his tweets.
As for Henry, he has no phone, so he can't pile sats (except in Bitcoin) just for now. "His older sister has a portfolio of satoshi accounts.
The only place she can sit is at her father's osteopath," Susie joked. Nonetheless, more and more merchants are joining the network as the U.K. slowly warms up to the decentralized currency.
Nevertheless, more and more merchants are joining the network, while the United Kingdom is slowly heating up towards decentralised money.
