Title: How old are you?
Post by: BitPappa on June 11, 2013, 02:26:54 PM
I attended a Bitcoin meetup and felt everyone was about my age. But then looking at photos of the even, and hearing some people's ages, I realized I was one of the older people in the group (I'm in my mid-40s). Let's see polling says...

I just noticed this poll which appears to have been started before my almost identical poll. I'm not sure why I didn't see it when I looked through the off-topic folder to see if an age poll already existed. I guess I'm blind.

What's surprising is the difference in the responses.

It's bizarre that we both posted this poll so close in time. Either there's a cosmic link connecting our minds, or maybe this question is asked regularly, so it's not really very coincidental...

Looks like the sample size is still too small to get much out of it, since our poll results aren't in sync. Hopefully more people will vote (on either of our polls) so we can see what's up.

There are quite a few polls about bitcointalk users' age:

Thanks, sometimes it seems searching doesn't show me what I'm looking for.

Now that's a good tip! But now I can't plead ignorant when I post something that's already been rehashed a dozen times.

No, we've just all done this a bunch of times already. I don't mind answering again. I figure if we are going to ask new people to use Bitcoin then we're going to say the same thing many times.

Last time I took this poll, the answers were mixed between young adults and over the hill, but not a whole lot of people in between; I guess they're too busy working.
