Ponn Sabra and her three daughters release a four-book “Bitcoin for
Kids” book series about the digital currency and giving away 0.25*
Bitcoin (approx. $87). By making Bitcoin easy and fun to use, they hope
to motivate kids and moms to try it out, further pushing Bitcoin to the
mainstream.
Los Angeles, CA, November 15, 2013 -
Best-selling authors and bloggers Ponn, JuJu (13), GiGi (12) and JoJo
(10) Sabra today announce the “Bitcoin for Kids” Series to motivate moms
and kids to use Bitcoin. Bitcoin is ideal for kids. The digital
currency can be sent by anyone of any age, in any amount, to anywhere in
the world, anytime of the day or night. Using Bitcoin is as easy as
sending an email or SMS/text message.
Bitcoin
has been maligned and celebrated in recent news. The story of a man
from Norway who bought $27 in Bitcoin four years ago that is worth over
$850,000 today captured a lot of positive attention. The Sabra’s hope
stories like this and those in their books will help build more
awareness and interest in Bitcoin. “We want to help make Bitcoin more
mainstream by showing families how easy and fun it is to use,” said Ponn
Sabra.
The Sabra’s created the website
bitkidz.com,
the first to teach Kids about Bitcoin. “We created the first
Bitcoin-for-kids website, the only Bitcoin forum for kids, and our book
series will be used to teach kids in the classroom and online,” said
Ponn Sabra. The Introductory book features the first published case
study of kids using Bitcoin.
The Bitcoin for Kids book series includes:
* Bitcoin for Kids Primer: Kids Making Money Online - 12 Inspirational Stories That Will Motivate You To Action!
*
Bitcoin for Kids Book 1: Putting Money In Kids’ Hands Today For A
Better Tomorrow - No Need For Virtual Worlds and Make-Believe Money
* Bitcoin for Kids Book 2: How To Earn, Save, Spend and Share Bitcoin - Easy, Fast and Fun Step-by-Step Tutorials
* Bitcoin for Kids Book 3: Wise Words From the World’s Best Bitcoiners - Bitcoin Breaks The Boundaries Of Age And Much More
The books can be purchased with Bitcoin (or with fiat currency through Amazon) and a link for the FREE Primer can be found at
bitkidz.com/bitcoinforkids
In
the process of educating kids, they also hope to counter common myths
about Bitcoin. “People stay away from Bitcoin because they either
believe it’s too volatile, attracts criminals, or, they think Bitcoin is
so high-tech that the average person won’t be able to understand it.”
said Sabra. “While there’s some truth to those extreme statements, by
writing a book series by kids for kids we’re demonstrating that if kids
understand Bitcoin, so can others!”

Sabra’s are hosting a Bitcoin Giveaway Contest during the first week of

Why
use Bitcoin? The Sabra’s say because it is digital, practical, cheaper,
safer, more secure and global. “Kids and moms need to learn how to use
it now! The sooner the better, and the more lucrative because the value
keeps climbing. There is opportunity in being an early adopter.”
Even
if Bitcoin drops in value, the Sabra’s think there are lessons. “The
math behind it is amazing! Bitcoin helps kids learn economics,
international finance, money markets (watching values go up and down),
budgeting, spending versus saving, computers, technology, the Internet
and much more. These crucial life lessons are often not taught in school
or home today. My girls’ lives have forever changed since Bitcoin was
introduced to us, and we want to impart this excitement to other
families as well.”
The Bitcoin for Kids series was
recently selected as curriculum at The Bitcoin Academy and the Bitcoin
Bootcamp after school program. The Sabra’s, currently traveling
overseas, conducted months of research and interviewed kids already
using Bitcoin for the Primer. In their research, they found kids who
have made significant returns using Bitcoin. The most interesting point
shared by each kid was that Bitcoin has changed their lives.
The Sabra’s are available for interviews via Skype, Google-Hangout, or email.
10%
of proceeds from BitKidz.com and the “Bitcion for Kids” book series
will be donated to SeansOutpost.com (5%) and TheBitcoinAcademy.com (5%).
An additional 5% during the month of November 2013 will to donated to
the Philippines Typhoon victims via World Food Program.
