Who is the oldest/youngest BTCer you know?

I know of only two bitcoin users in person, one of them is me. So I might be the youngest of us both :)

As of fictional characters it would be Satoshi himself!

I sent my daughter a 1btc transaction to a physical bitcoin 3 minutes after cutting her umbilical cord. I will be giving it to her on her 18th birthday. That might be the youngest bitcoiner.

The youngest Bitcoiner I know of is nahtnam (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=138245). He should be around 15 years old, seeing that he stated that he was 13 over here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=295002.0) (which was two years ago). The youngest Bitcoiner I personally know is 17 and I'm 20 years old myself (will be 21 next week).

Wow. Great and unique gift that barely nothing else can compete with!

Boy genius!  :o

I started at 17, he at 13, so yes, he is pretty smart. Made a faucet at the age of 13 using Ruby on Rails. Pretty neat if you ask me.

That's actually pretty nifty, that's a kid with future :)

The oldest one I know is 33... Not really old, but I guess it counts.

I don't want to call him out on his age lol but he runs a poker site and is in his 50's so that is the oldest I know of anyone so far. The youngest probably my cousin as I really don't know anyone else to compare to :?/ He is 18 I am mid 20's and feeling old! That kid 13 creating things for the community way to go dude! If you see this Well done!

My son is 6, and I give him physical bitcoins instead of fiat for the tooth fairy.  He looks forward to them, and is trying to find ways to remove his loose teeth to get more bitcoins

Damn, 13-15 is young, though I guess kids are getting more tech aware and involved these days which is a good thing. I hope getting involved in bitcoin so early will pay off for them in the future. They might be able to take early retirement if they save well.

Ken Slaughter, the inept/scamming businessman behind ActiveMining was 61 in 2014. So maybe he is 62 years old now. He is the oldest one i heard of yet. Too bad his lifespan didnt lead to the needed experience to deal with the project he drove on the wall.  ::)

I'm start to learn Bitcoin in 13, and now I'm 14 I don't know if I am the youngest one ;D
But, I have an online friend he said he is 13 now. So maybe, he is the youngest.
And I also have an online friend, he said his age is 41. But someone said there is a Bitcoiner with 50 years old, so my friend is not the oldest one :) (but, he is the oldest one that I know so far)

oldest and youngest are some person - me. I dunno anybody around, who is willing to use bitcoin, even I tried to convince them.) hope, that time will solve this issue

youngest is my syster(18 years old) probably, she learned how spam click on faucets, and the oldest is my father, who was very curious about bitcoin at first one it was at 600+, not so much now, he asks me all the time at what price it is

Youngest: 17
Oldest: 41

There's no fool like an old fool, says this old fool.

I'm the oldest person I know using it although I stopped telling my age. I got tired of people asking me how long it took to cross the country on horseback and if I prefer black and white TV to color. lol  My neighbors kid smokes pot in the back yard. I was watering the plants a couple of years ago and asked him if he shopped on SR for his weed. He said no he gets it from school. He didn't know what Bitcoin was, we talked about it and now he uses it all the time. He was 15 back then. He's the youngest I know personally.

I know that story must sound strange to people in other parts of the world but San Francisco is an odd place. There's two constants about people in SF that hold true most of the time. You always assume everyone you meet is gay, lesbian or bisexual and everyone you meet gets high including the cops. lol

Oh my god, I can't believe! And did you teach that boy use Bitcoin to buy pot?!!

Me and Me.....

Because at the time of writing this I was younger than the time you are reading this  :P
So yeah, MEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

I don't know anyone else in person anyway.

Oldest: me
Youngest: me

Other I only know by internet, so they can anything between 10yo and 110yo

at the moment circle of my friends and some relatives knows about this innovative crypto currency so the youngest one is 13 years old and the oldest one 49 years old ;D you can call us happy bitcoin family  :D

The oldest person who is BTCer is my father-in-law is currently 70 years old. Just few weeks ago I started to explain him about Bitcoin and convinced him to try this innovative currency.He bought 1BTC at price of 218$ and sold these days at 240$.He is much more interested in Bitcoin now.The youngest person is friend of 20 years who know Bitcoin and knows where it can be used too.

Particle coin recently had an attempted takeover by a dev called niitassin who claims to be 11 years old. No doubt he is interested in Bitcoin if he was trying to take over an alt. He could have been lying about his age, but the take over was a failure because the wallet would not sync, so maybe he really is only 11.

I don't personally as in real life, know any bitcoiners.
I read about a 13 year old boy though who invested 1500 dollars that he saved from his birthday and christmas into bitcoin & made several hundred thousand dollars, he then started a business but I forget what the business was, it wasn't bitcoin related.
It's incredible really as with bitcoin you can be your own bank.
I'm sure there are hundreds of real success stories through bitcoin involving investors of all different ages.
No doubt their will be lots & lots more too.

I am close to 50 and I introduced a whole grade 4 class to Bitcoin, as part of a Entrepeneur's Day.
Most of them are now active Bitcoiners, making money selling root beer and hotdogs. My kids also joined in and they have more coins than I have. ^joke^

Hey man keep up the good work.
Anybody introducing new people to bitcoin is a legend in my books.
A certain generation of people may be too old to grasp, understand & implement bitcoin into their lives.
What should be remembered  is that todays children are tomorrows businessmen/entrepreneurs so teaching bitcoin to children is a total winner in my opinion.

I read a story a while back that a father has been awarding is children under 10 years old Bitcoin for doing certain things like homework. Im assuming hes going to hand the private keys to them when they are no longer a minor?

Thats great. Maybe that will be the best present ever. Imagine the huge birthday party she will make when she sees the price of 1 BTC in year 2033.

No, I just told him about it. He said he never bought drugs with it because his school supply was such good quality NorCal Purple Kush and Sour Diesel. He thought it was stupid to go somewhere else for worse quality and higher price.

Does he have any intention of bringing back the faucet project which he was working on?  Interesting thread as I went through it but somewhere along the lines it seems like his ambition or funding dried up, maybe a bit of both.

Well, I only know about myself. I was 14 when I started over a year ago.

I do know my friend's dad who apparently used to mine bitcoin at his work. I think he is around 40 years old.
