Title: [POLL] Age of the Bitcoin people
Post by: jinni on April 06, 2013, 04:01:03 PM
I'm wondering how old BTC-supporters are.

As far as I understand, one of the great aspects of BTC is how it is able to shift wealth from the old to the young hence allowing radical change to happen, but is this really true?

Those of us who manage to hold on to at least one or a few BTC could be the (at least in financial terms) establishment of the future.

I want to find out the age distribution of this possible future establishment.

This table (http://"http://conversableeconomist.blogspot.no/2012/06/wealth-by-distribution-region-and-age.html") shows the wealth distribution by age in the US. The BTC age distribution seems like it is radically different. Though, one question is if the crowd at Mt. Gox (Mt. Lag), are all of the bigger actors active on this forum or only reading it?  I mean, when people like this (http://"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdVVECKKSXo") are getting into BTC then I'm thinking this forum might not be a true representation of the age distribution.

The world age distribution is like this:
0-14 years: 26.2%
15-24 years: 17.1%
25-54 years: 40.5%
55-64 years: 8.2%
65 years and over: 8%

Though the world and the US are two different demographics and economies, it is still interesting that BTC seems to fit a more equal distribution of wealth according to age even considering the issue mentioned above.

Strangely enough I don't. I'm either at <0 or ∞<, just don't seem to able to tell which ;)

Edit: Screwed up the croccodile :(
