after giving him his first ounce of silver and attempted to explain the value of precious metals. surprisingly he took to this train of thought very well and was very open to it.
At his age, I yearned for this type of knowledge and it is something he will always remember. I'm not surprised. What I am surprised, is that most other adults don't teach our young kids important things. We let the public education system do it, and that's why we end up with a bunch of dopes.
That's a horrible gruesome statement I just made, calling kids "dopes", but I did it for effect, and to make people think. How true is that statement? 25% true? 50% true?
Our next generation will be what we create and guide in THIS generation, and they will be the ones to curate the world we leave them. It is very important we teach them what the public education system does not. :)
Great job @steempower - very nice. Following you too today.
Appreciate it man; well stated. As you said we cannot trust the public education system to teach them anything of real value, especially not related to anything that will undermine the strength of the fiat system; i am from Australia and officially our governments stance on gold is it is a risky investment.... what! mean while.. just keep the print press running.
happy to say this little guy is pretty good and well mannered too :)
