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?

I’ve read a lot of the stuff out there and haven’t found anything that really takes this angle.
