When Your Kid Asks for a Crypto Wallet: The Confused Parent's Web3 Survival Guide ebook

Your teenager just asked permission to buy an NFT with their allowance. Your middle schooler is earning cryptocurrency in a game you've never heard of. Your child's Discord friends live on three continents. Welcome to parenting in the Web3 era. This straight-talking guide helps non-technical parents understand blockchain technology, cryptocurrency, NFTs, DAOs, and the metaverse—not to become experts, but to parent effectively in spaces where traditional rules don't apply. You'll learn what these technologies actually are, which opportunities are legitimate versus which are scams targeting children, and how to have informed conversations without dismissing what might be your child's future. Understand blockchain basics through plain language: what wallets really are, why crypto has value, how NFTs work, what "decentralized" actually means, and why your kids care about digital ownership. Learn the difference between Bitcoin, Ethereum, and thousands of other cryptocurrencies—and which ones children typically encounter.
