Title: The profile of a Bitcoin User Post by: Bitconian on January 28, 2013, 01:43:43 AM Hi guys,
After reading a lot here, it seems we are related in some way or other (besides our love for btcs :)) I mean, for what I read, it seems we all share the same profile in some degree. I don't want to classify anybody, but I thought it was kind of funny how we all share some of the same interests. Bitcoin User Profile:

;D Has there ever been a poll done on "Are you male or female?" Am curious to know an actual calculation on that! Title: Re: The profile of a Bitcoin User Post by: dree12 on January 28, 2013, 03:58:22 AM
;D Has there ever been a poll done on "Are you male or female?" Would love to know an actual calculation on that! Yes. See my sig for one of them. Title: Re: The profile of a Bitcoin User Post by: julz on January 28, 2013, 04:00:24 AM
I hate conspiracy theories.. and I don't know why you'd cast that aspersion on the Bitcoin community... unless you have some agenda to paint us all as nutballs so you can sideline us in economic debates. What bank do you work for and just why are you 'profiling' us anyway!? Anyway - for your dossier - the rest of it was pretty much correct for me - though I might just sneak into the x% of 'elderly' Bitcoiners!

;D Has there ever been a poll done on "Are you male or female?" Would love to know an actual calculation on that! Yes. See my sig for one of them. Nice! My girlfriend is not on these forums, but she's an active Bitcoin user... perhaps these results have a bias as the polling is done on a forum, correlating more with the profile of internet-forum users than with Bitcoin users. As a whole, I would imagine few tech forums have women on them, even if the technology itself is super popular and widely used. Say, like a forum for Windows-users. Lot's of women use Windows OS, but not very many will join a forum about it hahaha. Then again, perhaps I just have a bias because she's my girlfriend... :D Title: Re: The profile of a Bitcoin User Post by: dree12 on January 28, 2013, 04:30:58 AM

I don't think its fair to overgeneralize conspiracy theories as being "crazy" or "not smart". Some of them turn out to be true! As mentioned in the link above, the Watergate scandal was such a case. Theorizing about a conspiracy is not crazy in itself. Obviously some people take these theories to the extreme, or base their theories are inappropriate pieces of evidence, and this is where you need to break out the tin-foil hats.

Title: Re: The profile of a Bitcoin User Post by: ArticMine on January 28, 2013, 07:06:47 PM The age group for highest likelihood of Bitcoin adoption is off by 7-10 years I would suggest 13-33 or even 10-30 with a peak around 20. A teenager is way more likely to adopt Bitcoin than someone in their late 30's. In fact teens and tweens are a huge market for Bitcoin because they cannot get a Credit Card and are huge consumers of online content and services.
On a related note I would expect those in their late 50's, 60's and early 70's (Baby Boomers) to be a lot more receptive to Bitcoin than those in their 40's or even late 30's. Let us not forget that someone who turned 20 in 1969 (summer of love, Woodstock) will turn 64 in 2013. The baby boomer generation shook the establishment to its very core in their day, their children one the other hand are notoriously conservative and status quo by contrast. Let us not forget that teenagers always rebel against their parents, not their grandparents. The grandparents more often than not see the teenage rebellion as payback to the parents.
