How to spread awareness of Bitcoin in a way so that old people start to use more bitcoin?

Bitcoin is for everyone. Elder people tent to be more secure and they are sceptic when you first tell them. If you have the good arguments then maybe they start to believe in it

This is a nice thought. But the point is that for Bitcoin to come into consideration of the old people, they need to have way too many basic skills and ideas in place in the first place. They need to be skilled with the use of computers, should be interested in understanding the blockchain concept or at least the way in which you could transact bitcoins. There could be a lot of questions that come up in their minds and it will not be easy even for themselves to quench the thirst of 'knowing' bitcoins completely if they have not much of an idea of digital transactions.

However, I must say that this gives me an idea that bitcoin 'services' should be started that will help the old people and anyone for that matter to make bitcoin transactions. Since the value of bitcoin is rising day by day and that a lot of scams and theft going around, the trustworthiness of people who come out to help voluntarily is abysmally low in the eyes of many. But certainly such services can come into existence in future.

However as a responsible community we can work it out. All it needs is a good thought and plan to execute. The day we start thinking for others, that day we essentially are happy.

Building on the previous post, older people tend to value the learning curve. They will only try learn and use something new if it clearly gives them a value. They are not as concerned about earning money quick or investing, but in real use in their daily lives.

You can't, 99.9999% old people won't use new technologies.
Better spread awareness of bitcoin among younger population rather than thinking doing it among old generation  ;)

Its really useful to those oldies that they can be able to used bitcoin. They can be used it as their hobby. Start explaining them what bitcoin is in a simplest way then start discussing how to do bitcoin .Guide them everytime they want to ask something since this people are not so techky. Benefits of it is they can used it as past time as well as earning money.

spread to the right way like spread it like a personal message to them to they can understand what bitcoin gives to there life and how much good bitcoin.

Anyone can use bitcoin as long as they know about crypto currency bitcoin is for everyone some old people has good in computer technology like the bussiness man and bussiness woman they also know about investment and its not hard for them to learn about bitcoin and how to earn more profit

the arrival of bitcoin is something that is done naturally, a mass effect, it will go all alone in the heads of people, so it is useless to try to argue to convince some people.

Old people are more or less not aware of the bitcoin depending upon the demography that we talking about. I mean this depends on the demographic region because lets say we are taking about the oldies from the Western Hemisphere then you will most probably see developed countries and with that said they will have more knowledge about the use of Internet which is basic need for them to get started with bitcoin. Plus they are also very independent personnel as compared to the rest hemisphere people. The rest which includes asian countries where old people are coming from the era where they never saw the internet at all and thus lag behind the understanding of the whole thing or basic thing the is internet. We should start with that one first and then we can soda the awareness amongst the old people.

In the image below you can see how the usage of internet itself is varying from asian countries to developed countries.

So letting them know about the Bitcoin can vary according to this data because they must know how to use internet first.

Do they need it? I believe that they will not be able to do it, because they are accustomed to paper money

Not only for old people but other as well, I think that we have to create better nad friendlier User Interface because you want it to be something simple that most of the people can understand by intuition. We know that "old" people use mobile phones and computers today - what we need is to create something really simple

young peoples, old peoples, what ever they are, if they want to use bitcoin, they sure can.
for me, no one cannot use bitcoin.

You can explain the benefits of bitcoin and quiet days in old age, because bitcoin will be a source of income when retired. With that he may be able to accept bitcoin, because the benefits of bitcoin can be used to meet the needs of life.

You may teach old people about Bitcoin but there are very less chances that they will be ready to invest in this. Personally, I tried to make my father understand about Bitcoin and the huge returns people have got from it in the past. He dismissed all my teachings by saying that this is all scam and he will only invest in real things like real estate. I think old people like to go with traditional methods of investment only.

Have you ever tried to show an old person how to use a computer? My guess is no.... Let me tell you it is unbelievably difficult as old people tend to be highly computer illiterate, and most are not open to new ideas. The idea of opening bitcoin to old people is extremely unlikely as it relies on first teaching old people to use technology, something which is already extremely hard. The whole world doesn't need to know about bitcoin, only those that are willing to learn, that is enough.

They can but still they might have a barrier because of lack of understanding what bitcoin actually is. Firstly you have to educate people about it, some might even think it's to much for them as they encounter some unknown area for them. Specially if they are not techy people you have to teach them about keeping their coins safe etc. This can be done if they use some simple app on mobile phone where all they need is to write down mnemonic seed and thats it for them, but you still have to explain them about cold storage etc.

Some of them might not even be aware of bitcoin existence which is why we must work on raising awareness. Other thing is that by crypto reaching ATHs it get media attention and thus more people are looking at what it is. Problem now is that it is mostly seen as an investment, rather than as a "digital currency".



It all depends on the person, if he or she is up to learning new things or not. But yeah most of them don't like the idea of learning I guess.

That's a great idea. However, I think bitcoin is formed from technology, so usage or investment are somewhat complex for the elderly. They must be familiar with passwords, wallet lock, send and receive process, etc. I think it is not easy for them.

what kind of question,that bitcoin is just for old only or rather say just only for senior citizen's,,😳😀😏,silly question....i think bitcoin is for all nation no ages limit,,,,the important things is we know the step of bitcoin and we follow all the rules that related to forum that we discuss,bitcoin is no age limit...,

Why not try if you have the oppurtunity and have seen any interest in them? Your statistics is purely baseless. There are several older people who are into cryptocurrency/ new technology. Even some of them are more knowledgeable than other millenials.

    Bitcoin is for everyone,no age limit required as long as they know and understand all about bitcoin. Young people are easy to adopt cryptocurrency because we are in a new and computer generation. Most of the young people know already how to use computers unlike old people,not all old people know about computer that's why i think it is difficult for them to learn and adopt bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

We can make some ways to spread awareness about bitcoin to elder people. The possible way as much as you can the easiest way that you can help people. We can use simple videos, simply way of discussion to the elder people and showing proof on how to use bitcoin. These way we can show awareness and helping people about bitcoin.

The problem with most old people is they have already resigned from learning new technology. They would rather live out their lives thinking back on the good old days. I have given up on teaching my 65 year old dad about bitcoin since he keeps on just telling me that he's already happy that I found something that I love doing.

Very informative of you. It depends on the age of the person you want to introduce the cryptocurrency world. As far as I am concerned, only people with the age of 30 years old to the bottom are the most people that are interested in this topic. Beyond that age, they are interested in gold, real estate, long term businesses, and many other things that old people think of including their health.

bitcoin is for everyone.Not only for old and young people's what ever they are,if they want to use bitcoin.as long as they know  about crypto currency some people old has good in computer technology like the business man and business woman they also know about investment and is not hard for them to learn about bitcoin.

To be honest I think we should show them as wellig not just a simple argument ofor a person. We tried  to  tell our parents we mustill shown them a money we got from Investments. A paren't or an elderly can't use bitcoin because they don't see or get any the git up


Yes this what is good from bitcoin you can't get a job different jobs here is you see not stable because for ecamp let you love to edit videos want to seek more job we find more but not just video editing. We have many works that you can learn if I want to amd want to see something new . No age limit here so everyone is welcome to learn and expand that CRYPTOCURRENC.

We must learn to scan ng forum to learn more if you want to learn it's not difficult.

Its a bit hard to convince old people to start buying and using Bitcoin, some of them don't even use Internet and don't deal at all with digital currencies. The others who use Internet dont trust crypto currencies and use to deal only via fiat money or cash. But you can try inviting them to this forum where they can learn and read more about BTC.

Yes, why not? As long as our old people can understand and know how to do bitcoin. Its for everyone who wants.

I think the news about bitcoin is all over places already. People are already aware of bitcoin, but the only challenge i see is how we can educate them on how to  use bitcoin.

I think, old people not understand about Bitcoin, but some developing people will understand tomorrow.

I think it will be difficult to distribute bitcoin information to the old people, because they are not interested in technology (even the Internet does not use), they like paper money and do not trust those money that can not be touch and seen.

Let us not limit what old people can do, just like here in cryptocurrency where in age, nationality, status in life is not a required for us to invest. If they can still recognize, and can speak and they are interested why not? Let them in here as they can do this as well just let us also guide them throughout  their journey here.

Just help them to learn about Bitcoin, I bet, a lot of old timers will make more money than young investors who are familiar with the stock market.

Bitcoin is actually for everyone who understands it and know how it works. Age really doesn't matter on crypto. If someone is interested and willing to learn then i'll take the chance to help them, Teens or old. I know someone who is only 15 yrs old but started trading. Yeah he is 15 but his mind is like 25 yrs old. So age is really not a hindrance.

Bitcoin is for always everyone. It's not just old man. Bitcoin can used new and old all generation.

Most of the old people are don't believe in Bitcoin because they think it is just a prank. But we need to make them understand that it is not a prank. It is a good side of investment rather than gold. It has a great future

I agree on you.Old people do not tend to become flexible in gathering new ideas and new inventions.Like in using computers,i find it hard teaching my parents how to manipulate it even if they are literate though.Their minds are already focused and stucked on their old technologies.How much more teaching them about bitcoin which is more complicated?I think they can learn probably but it will take a hard time for them.

I do not think it's a good idea to force parents to know bitcoin. due to the age and limitations of parents' knowledge of technology. and better bitcoin is developed for future generations that have a million fantasies.

bitcoin for everyone..they know about crypto currency bitcoin is likely a fantastic way for people to earn money while spreading knowledge about bitcoin.yes,bitcoin is good for old people but I think they won't be ready to invest in this.

There are so many ways of Introducing BTC to the elderly once which is conducting a seminal form them, teaching the basic functions of BTC.

it is true most parents will assume that this is a joke for them but not all parents think like that.
this happens in my area there are already some people who start joining and the result is very good they have a very good intentions and now they make a permanent job because it is retired :D

It might be really difficult for elderly people to understand people. I have talk to many elder people and they couldn't understand the purpose of Bitcoin existence. Most of them was surprised that the money they are using, is in fact worthless. Elder people seem not to understand the inflation and the dangers which come with it. It will be really tough to help elder people switch to cryptocurrencies. Many of them still don;t use online banking because they find it dangerous and not convenient.

I think it will be difficult, to teach parents to use bitcoin, because they are in different generations, and certainly will not be easy to teach it to parents. it's better to teach bitcoin to my child, which would have been easier to understand and it would be useful for his future.

Old people is an experienced person so they will not agree easily in terms of digital currency. I think they are deceived when they are young so in terms of this matters they will avoid it. We can make them believe by let them see that we are earning real money. When they are now convinced I think this is the best part time job for old people. They will stay at home and can afford necessities.

Bitcoin for old people? Y not!!! But it depends how we threat or explain bitcoin for them. Bitcoin is for everyone, to those people who have interest in bitcoin. I'm sure bitcoin well gave special treatment for the old people.

I think the best way to tell bitcoin to parents is by showing evidence that we've made a lot of money with bitcoin.
to get parents to know about bitcoin is very difficult because their memory is reduced, so we have to be patient.

This is a good question and I think it requires general change in the attitude of people.

Recently there was this thread about elderly couple who bought bitcoin and later found out that it is only a plastic toy-coin. Almost everybody in the thread thought that it was funny. They didn't see the couple as scam victims, rather they saw them as uneducated and actually that they deserved it.

So it is not only about spreading awareness in older people, it requires changing attitude of nerdy younger generation towards older people as well

Elder people usually don't use technology so maybe bitcoin is not for them. Only for a small part of them it could be something they will use

Exactly. And I am even afraid that among people trying to "spread awareness" about Bitcoin among older people there would probably be also a lot of scammers ripping them off by selling them scamcoin like Onecoin or similar.

The Bitcoins are for everyone, so it is also possible for them. All we have to do is educate them but we really find it difficult because most older people today do not know the computers, cellphones so we are obliged to teach them well.

So the next generation really maximizing the use of bitcoins as we are now starting to be old and have a son!

Maybe just telling them now how you are having an income.  They have likewise have an opportunity to earn even just staying at home.  Showed them how isnit done and teach them basic computer skills.  I do not suggest gadget such as smartphone because it is quite hard to operate.

I think it is a good idea to spread the awareness and goodness of people to oldies. However, there are things to consider for them to understand things. Their level of understanding for our technology today would be quite difficult so we much be sure to inform them little by little. They must gain knowledge about the strategies in crypto world so that they would gain what they deserve.

By giving proof of what you can get through bitcoin. making it easier for me to introduce bitcoin to my parents. By looking at the evidence that bitcoin technology as a sophisticated technology is sure org tuia will arise desire to know what is bitcoin.

By "old people" do you mean Elders or Adults?
Well if it is about elders, then here is what I think.

Elders tend to get paranoid about new things (worse than adults), most of them think excessively about new innovations. Meaning it is a really difficult thing to make them believe in Bitcoin or even just to make them understand what Bitcoin is. Concerning their age, they must have really low interests on a new technology that is going up these days. They would think "why do I have to witch into cryptocurrency when fiat has done well for a long time?".

Telling them about Bitcoin would be like giving a bird a parachute.

It does not matter if it is taught to the parents but we need to think that this paku is acceptable to them because given the mindset that is sometimes difficult to understand what we will say later,
but we have to go back to the beginning that bitcoin is ours all young people or elderly people are free as long as it has a high will.

Special courses should be created to train them, focus on easy-to-use platforms, such as metatrader 4 ... But these courses should not be like those we know "online" should be in real spaces, where older people can reflect all their confusions, doubts, and solve each of its dilemmas regarding the new virtual market. It's a pity that few people bet on something like this.

Actually it is good, but on our parents' age not many understand the technology now. Only the educated are able to understand what bitcoin is, and how the bitcoin works.

I don't think there's any difference between bitcoin for young people or old people.
Bitcoin is universal, it's not like we need to be at a certain age to be able to access and use it.
As long as we have internet and money to buy bitcoin, we can use it.
Old people tend to not interested in this kind of thing though, unless they're investors. But maybe we can convince them by saying bitcoin is a great investment for old days or such? Since bitcoin is quite profitable and doesn't really take time or energy, it'll be great for old people who can't work anymore, and use it as a source of income.

I think this is a great idea but if all parents can understand it so that all back to the personality of each core is goodwill ;)

My grandparent don't know how to use a PC so bitcoin is not for them since they only know how to control a TV. There are elderly people who can easily be bitcoiners

For me, there's nothing wrong sharing your knowledge about bitcoin and making people aware about it because bitcoin is for everyone. But if I'm going to share it to elders i will tell them the pro's and cons of it so that there won't be any problem about it in the future. Let them choose whatever currency they wanted to use it's enough exerting an effort to make them aware about it.

It would be great to see old people using bitcoins. I tried to tell some about bitcoins but its too hard for them to understand unless they are familiar with computers and internet. Understanding and using bitcoins requires a lot of knowledge in which old people find hard to do, specially because most of them can easily forget already. Also, most of the elderlies are not interested in making more money anymore, because they already have children to support them or have a bussiness to run.

i admit this is a great idea but can hardly happens in real life, not any elder people will easily accept that fact that bitcoin can easily replace paper money in the future. So we can not do much things to unless we show to them how bitcoin has worked too great to be worthy for everybody by applying bitcoin more and more in real life payments.

There are no rules for bitcoin using in a spacefic age of people.Any one can use bitcoin in digital currency in the world if they know how to use bitcoin or what is   bitcoin .Children or older people can use bitcoin as a currency.So i think we should teach every parson of this metter.

What do you consider to be an old person. I'm 75, and I'm just hitting middle age. How many years before I become an old person then?

This is a very difficult task. Considering my experience with my parents,
something they can not see and touch (like fiat money),
it is very difficult to explain that they have value.

They think these are just numbers on the screen.

It's very difficult to spread the awarness of bitcoin into the old person.The old person think that how can people earn money with the help of computers and they nevwr belive into cryptocurrency beacause they think that this is impossible things.Old people don't trust on the bitcoin and they think it's scame.so i think it's impossible to spread awareness of bitcoin into old peoples.
     But if your grandfather or any old people have good knowledge about the computer and IT then i think you can learn them about the bitcoin.

I think this is not accurate usage for but coin. Bit coin is for everyone who have in the right age and capable to handle self responsibility. Btc is for everybody who can navigate here.

I never succeed to teach my grandparents for using smartphones, many obvious things for me are so difficult for them. And they don't have a good memory as young people, and sometimes not very patient for listening, so it's really a hard work

I think through social media. Social media is the number one who can influence the society from young to adult.
Secondly through story and building a good relationship toward other. This is also effective specially if you are from the ground before and now in the highest level.

With the way that Bitcoin is currently nosediving, I am definitely not going to convince to try and even invest into bitcoins in the first place because i am afraid that they are going to lose money and when they do, I am the one that they are going to blame.

It all depends on the people. There are elderly people (I refer to people over 65) who fully accept the crypto currencies and there are those who reject them without any doubt. But I personally know older people who are doing pretty well with BTC.

Right and out of ages if you want to achieve that dream and are determined to achieve it,there is no way to prevent anyone who wants to join as long as you can so that you should actually get into the rigth this age

I feel it will be easy to teach the older generation about bitcoins as they are the once who have more knowledge than the present generation because the older generation always keep themselves updated about almost all sorts of information relating to studies politics change in the job functions and the new technologies that come up so that they don't get stuck in the stone .Where as the youth of today does not have habit of learning everything like the people from the older generation most of the youth waste the time spending on social media networking instead of updating their skills .My father is at his 70's he was like a super computer in his youth as he idea about almost everything even though he is a double degree holder in civil and electrical engineering, he was a great investor in the share market and he was showing interest in the bitcoins from past few years.Infact he knows more about cryptos than me.

In order for elderly people to start playing bitcoin, they need to understand the computer, which many have problems with. And they need a person who will help them learn bitcoin, as they just get lost in the huge flow of information.

I think it's difficult, because not all old people can own a computer without speaking already about bitcoin and everything that is snapped. Who cares what he learns.

Old person for me is that person who cant take a new information, now metter how old are he! My grandma use smartphones she had instagram even)) but I have see many younger people who cant take it!

So how can thay use bitcoin is a problem of each person our objective is to help them!

Well bitcoin is already worlwide phenomenal to all group of individuals there, I can tell as well that they know what bitcoin is but they don't know how bitvoin workfs, to be honest it's hard to teach old people about cryptocurrencies, they have all this stuff of beliefs and perspective in life how money works nowadays, most of them has an on principle of life, butits never been too late to have this kind of knowledge to them, not all old people are afraid of changes, just start a good conversation at first and explain to them clearly how this thing works. Bitcoin is a generation of digital currency, it might be hard at first but that's always gonna be it, when you're on it already it will be easy to introduce to all old people.

The ability to study bitcoin does not depend on age, but on desire. If a person has loved to study all his life, he will be happy to learn new information in old age, especially if it concerns the sphere of income.

Bitcoin doesn't need anything to reach out to people.But one think every one need to understand that investing in bitcoin or cryptocurrency needs to have big and strong heart.As the profit rate is high but on the same time risk rate is also high.Old people are more introvert with there thinking and they probably safe player as they fear of loosing money a lot.Soo it would be difficult for them to understand and to invest.

They must have atleast the basic knowledge and uses of bitcoin, or if someone could introduce it to them,  explaining to them is a little bit hard, for others but not all, but I guess if you have some wallet and you can show your earnings, they might gat interested to invest and do some trading, just give them lessons.... And be their guide.

Try to orient them about cryptocurrency and also the benefits of holding the coin, some of the old person are depress because they might enjoy the wealthy since they are old but i do believe that there still always a chance as long as you hold your coin because the value will still keep on increasing as the time goes by.

Perhaps they will not believe in bitcoin, which earns a lot of money, and few parents believe it, perhaps slowly to guide them in order to understand it slowly and not to impose our will, if it is the same we will make them not understand it a bit ..

If I think the technique of teaching parents is to invite often to gather, if we work, parents monitor while learning, maybe also with our tricks to get results and parents know, see his son is successful of course will intend to learn about bitcoin. of course it is bitcoin for all circles just how to learn its a little bit different between young people and parents :)

Yes much better to spread this to younger people because they can easily to understand and easy to teach than old people. Old people is not more interested about our new technology so its hard to them to understand what is bitcoin.

I would love for old people to get involved in bitcoin but the reason they don't is because they are "set in their ways" and bitcoin challenges a lot of things they have known for a while. This may sound sad and morbid but if you are 90 you don't need to learn new technologies you need to focus on having fun the last few days of your life.

Good day. I would like to ask you something. I come from a very poor country called SLOVAKIA.
Since 2010 I have been watching the development of Bitcoin crypts and my dream is to have at least one Bitcoin that I would like to leave my daughter.
That's why I would like to ask you who you have Bitcoinov, or you would not help me.
I want you to send me not Bitcoin but only a little rubble that will not make you mistake.
Thank you very much for your help.
My adress is : 3AnEEwquFuuDKZNg4KT7Vb4ddemUymh1E9
Thank you very much very much.

Old people are more or less not aware of the bitcoin depending upon the demography that we talking about.I mean this depends on the demographic region because lets say we are taking about the oldies from the Western Hemisphere then you will most probably see developed countries and with that said they will have more knowledge about the use of Internet which is basic need for them to get started with bitcoin.So letting them know about the Bitcoin can vary according to this data because they must know how to use internet first.

Few old people will want to study bitcoin. I know quite a lot of old people, and they are all very skeptical about bitcoin (from those who generally know about it). Moreover, bitcoin-activity presupposes knowledge of the computer, but many of them do not even have e-mail, as it is difficult to understand at their age. But all people are different, someone in their old age understands computers better than young people.

Guys, what do u consider old. Becareful with the term, whatever number you consider old you will get there quicker than you think, if you are lucky

Eventhough bitcoin is for everyone but old people really dont know on how to use this kind of technology. They might be invest it in order to have a bitcoin but it is too risky. But other old people who are a business minded even if they were too old, they can still use it and want to join it.

What for? There are just different people, many old people simply do not want to learn anything new, they completely trust the young generation in this regard. But there are those who are interested in everything new, such old people are few. And they, if they want to know everything about the crypto-currency world.

Bitcoin is for everyone, as long as the individual is interested to have income. As long as a matured one is willing to learn something to improve there financial status, why not? In the near future cryptocurrency is inclining, the old one must learn so that they can catch up with the changes of the world. So that they will not be left behind.

Even old people has the chance to earn cryptocurrency since they are just staying at home then i think that they can still work through bounty campaigns and earn altcoins that they can exchange to bitcoins. All you need to do is orient them very well about the process on working on bounties.

I know very few elderly people, but I have a grandmother, and I certainly can not imagine her as a bitcoin investor. She does not even know how to write a text message on the phone and can hardly handle the phone. This despite the fact that she is not sick and not so old. She just can not make friends with the technique. And doing bitcoin without a smartphone or laptop can not do. But there are elderly people who can cope with the computer. Maybe they can cope with bitcoin. Everything is very individual and depends on the person himself.

Can you define "old people"? Like how old?
Bitcoin is for everyone. Even the old folks, if they feel comfortable or suitable enough in using bitcoin can use bitcoin. Though the chances of them using it is less even if they are made aware of it. Most of the old folks tends to avoid using newer technology. Best it stays like this or else it becomes too complicated to explain it to them.

It is important to know the bitcoin that awakens the old man. If Bitcoin is slow, then people will be stabbed at the speed of their feet. The old people were very efficient. So they have such rich treasure like Bitcoin.so old people bitcoin use more and more.

Old people are always difficult to give new technology. Therefore, it seems to me that it will be very difficult to teach old people how to use bitcoin as a calculation. I see the only way, this is not to change the technical part, but change the way of payment and transfer of finance. Then for the old people nothing will change and they will be able to adopt the new technology.

People today are more aware about bitcoin but some are just aware about the negative and wrong speculations about bitcoin they are not aware about the real use of bitcoin.  It's  a great help if we will be able to post in the social media about the good use of bitcoin today.

The problem isn't  to spread the word , but let them use it without losing all their money or being scammed.
Right now you need to be technology savvy to own any cryptocurrency.
So to start off the user interface needs to be better , but you need to protect these people against themselves to.

Our age is just the numbers in the passport. And if a person is already many years old and he is considered old, does not mean that he does not want to learn something new and earn money. I know old people who work in online support, or copywriters. Bitcoin for the elderly is an excellent opportunity to earn, because by virtue of their age, their work capacity is limited. They need only to understand the computer and be able to go online.

bitcoin for now is fairly popular in all circles not just old people who use bitcoin, many among youth today who are interested to learn and use bitcoin, so I think bitcoin is no longer dominated by the parents

in my opinion this is difficult, because they do not understand technology more. but slowly we have to introduce bitcoin to them. at least they know about bitcoin. or we can practice them directly on how to get bitcoin.
when they are retired from their job, I think bitcoin is one solution to fill their empty time. but if they are willing and able.

The idea of Btc for the old folks is kinda cool and fantastic. However, this depends on viability and ground Btc has gained in any environment for this to happen. For instance, in a society whereas the young folks are not fully sensitised about Btc, tell me how will the old get involved. The truth be told fellas, cryptocurrencies is a trend that can and will first find expression amongst the younger generation, thereafter, the old can join the race.

For me, there's nothing wrong sharing your knowledge about bitcoin and making people aware about it because bitcoin is for everyone. But if I'm going to share it to elders i will tell them the pro's and cons of it so that there won't be any problem about it in the future. Let them choose whatever currency they wanted to use it's enough exerting an effort to make them aware about it.

Bitcoin is for everyone, regardless the age, race, ethnicity..Its a digital and decentralized currency available online for everyone having access to Internet connection, and having the basical needed knowledge about BTC. But it is right that most users of BTC are young people because they use Internet a lot more than old people, and they are also open to learn and to trust the blockchain technology.

There is nothing old and new it's all about dedication to work, goals, targets, making analysis and making the move in a right turn. Any person can adopt bitcoin, learn and keep continuing by studying it wisely.

Bitcoin is a digital currency and the younger generation would not have any problem using it. But it is not the same with older generation as they already find difficulty in using credit and debit card.It might take a little bit more time for them to adopt to this new currency.

I think you would be surprised at the number of "Silver surfers" that are already Bitcoin owners. It is just a misconception that only young tech geeks are interested. Don't forget personal computers have been around for over 30 years now so even people in their 60s have a good amount of tech skills  ;)

First you need to catch up their attention and interest by showing your proof of income and you work easily on it by using your phone and internet. I will tell them on how powerful technology is and he can earn money on it by doing some simple job.

I think it can be done gradually, little by little we give understanding with the language they understand, with a good approach and creativity itself, to ensure that bitcoin is an inevitable part of life because over time, bitcoin will become a necessity, I think bitcoin is a new face in the economic world that must be recognized and understood by parents. although they are accustomed to paper money, but in some transactions today with sophisticated technology is using nontunai, virtual, and digital. other than that also provide information that the future use of paper money distribution will be less because the more precedence is efficient, precise fast and easy in transactions, all that can only be done with non-cash transactions, one bitcoin is a new currency worth investing including by parents and used for the smooth and progress of future generations. so with that every parent will realize that bitcoin is important and has become part of their lives.

Old people usually have youngs on the family (grandchildren). It would be the best way to introduce old people into Crypto world. Step by step grandchildren can teach and guide their grandparents into this world. As most old people don't know how to access internet and computers yet, the youngs should have to do most part of the job, explaining all the features (address, wallet, exchange, currencies, satoshis...). And executing the transactions.

Truly, it would be really hard. I think it's better the old ones just enter with the money, while the youngs enter with the practice.  :D

It is increasingly difficult for the older generation to understand and get accustomed to the dynamic process that we witness in Bitcoin. We need to understand that older generation has already invested the major share of their life into the traditional process of making money. It is deep rooted into their instinct. Now, this sudden change into the decentralized currency and the dynamic changes that we witness everyday, stands as a source of risk to their lifetime savings. That’s why they are always hesitant to accept the change and refuse to re-organise their funds into the virtual money. However, there are a few of them who are evergreen in their mental setup. It will really make sense to first involve these few oldies into the world of crypto. After a while, it is they who can involve the rest into our dynamic world of Crypto-currency (Bitcoin).

Some of old people doesn't have interest with money again, so if you tell them about bitcoin i think they don't care about that, its different if you do or spread awareness about bitcoin to young people nowdays they really know about technology so they can understand about it

Bitcoin for everybody as long as they know how to use computer or laptop they can enjoy BTC not only for old people for the young generation too.

plenty of old people in USA buying bitcoin.

they are smart - understand economics, history, and world politics...

Bitcoin's lightning network is emerging where fees will be tiny and cross-chain atomic swaps for decentralized exchange.

Governments and laws are controlled by the central banks. Bitcoin is an anti-establishment revolution that has already solidified itself worldwide.

Bitcoin cannot be controlled. It cannot be banned. It cannot be made illegal. And conversely it cannot be legalized. It just simply is. And people can always use it.

Those trying to undermine and manipulate bitcoin stem from the central bank system around the world;
-the central banks dictate policy to all the operating big banks around the world and have essentially tried their best to ban bitcoin related transactions for more than four years straight, ever since 2013, and have failed at stopping bitcoin's growth, adoption, and popularity
-the central banks fund efforts to undermine bitcoin, providing plenty of capital and liquidity to private companies and venture backed groups such as Digital Currency Group (they own Coinbase, GDAX, Kraken, Bitpay, and media outlet Coindesk) and also Roger Ver/Bitmain to undermine and break the bitcoin protocol and/or manipulate trade

Above are just small examples.

First, educate yourself and then others. Please checkout the link to the bitcointalk post in my signature titled: How to teach Bitcoin to a 7 year old.

Bitcoin is a secure, decentralized, trustless and open system which cannot be banned nor controlled.
 
Bitcoin is ultimate store of value and its popularity has strengthened over time and maximizes value compared to any other altcoin...why?:
If it can be shutdown, and have assets frozen by a bank or government, there would be no value
If it wasn't secure, there would be no value.
If it wasn't immutable, there would be no value.
If it wasn't globally distributed, there would be no value.
If it wasn't so strong, open-source decentralized and unstoppable, there would be no value.
If it wasn't so scarce, there would be no value.
If it was easy to spam transactions, there would be no value
If it required a central 3rd party to function, there would be no value
If it was stopped after all major banks on Earth banned in 2013 to today, there would be no value. (say "bitcoin" when transacting and watch the block of the transaction. simple fix=never mention "bitcoin").
If it didn't have the history of 8+ years (and still no hacker can exploit bitcoin blockchain), there would be no value
Bitcoin is on the verge of lightning network release rendering altcoins as only backup plan options if not dead.
If it was exactly like fiat and only did transactions, there would be no value.

Bitcoin's value is worth hundreds of billions USD today. Altcoins however are scams, weak, pyramid schemes not offering these values.

Bitcoin has all the characteristics needed combined to hold the most value and increasing more than any other financial-asset option coming from the manipulated fiat central-banking debt-system. (more than stocks, more than houses, more than gold)

That is true even old people can be more on technology, they have been using it long before than we do and I think they have the proper knowledge about it just a little outdated but whats important is they can understand and are willing to learn more about our current technologies. just like with bitcoin it has been there for years but nobody has bothered learning about it until they saw its high value in the market. No one is too old for bitcoin.

if I think old people will be a little difficult to learn bitcoin, this will require patience for them to understand. Maybe with way of trading, because in my opinion this is the most effective way and many people who understand about it.

Its not about the age or how techy you are to learn about these cryptocurrencies. If you really want to learn and earn that much you will do anything to be able to reach that goal.
Determination is the key to everyones success and not based on your age or your field. Self motivate yourself at times when you think you can't make it. Let it be your passion for every action you take you are enjoying it as well.

Bitcoin is for everyone, us long us they know what is the purpose of bitcoin. And us long us they know how to use computer laptop or cellphone. Bitcoin is not required age it doesnt matter if you are old or young. For me, there's nothing wrong sharing your knowledge about bitcoin and making people aware about it. Because bitcoin is for everyone.

Absolutely, No excuses in bitcoin now a days. People have already learnd and knowledgable either old man or your child in this new technology because this generation has really promising and upgradable so if don't let yourselve to do in this new thrends you miss a lot of opportunities in this new world.

I think we can teach some basic knowledge to the elderly so that they will not be bitten by Bitcoin anymore. Investing in bitcoin can be handled by specialized agencies and professionals, just like funds.

I think bitcoin for elderly people is not friendly for them in the sense that bitcoin and the crypto is very technical. On top of that, they might be prone to hacker attacks since they might be lacking technical know how on how to protect their wallets all the time which may cause their wallet to be empty.

I think it will be difficult for old people to learn about bitcoin. Since they are old, it will be impossible for them to learn more about bitcoin easily except if they are really interested. And talking about old people, there is a possibility that only rich people will be interested in bitcoin. Just think about old people in rural places, do you think that they have time to learn bitcoin? Maybe yes but it is just 20% of them. Also, we dont need to spreed the awareness of bitcoin. Because bitcoin spreads by itself.

I think old people is really hard to learn about bitcoin. We know that bitcoin i a digital currency and we need to use not hi-tech gadget. So before we teach old people regarding bitcoin let first teach them how to use gadget like cellphone or computer. I think its too late for them to learn about bitcoin.

I think the value of bitcoin promotion to the elderly is not that great. I believe that most elderly people will not accept bitcoin because bitcoin is a virtual currency and the amount involved is high, so there are not too many people willing to go Involved in bitcoin investment, after all, the elderly pay more attention to stability.

In technical aspects, Maybe not for everyone.  Elders are already or some of them have already closed their minds in this type of ideas. Giving it shot is a good idea but a long patient is required. We all know that we can't win any arguments against them.

The idea of introducing Bitcoin for elders is good and quite unique. The only problem that we might encounter is the acceptance and the language barrier (Elder's language). The challenge here is that Elders are against technology (Maybe not all of them but the majority), Tech. advancement for them is like cancer that damages the community.

The complexity of the industry would really give them a hard time to understand it, Bitcoin is not that user-friendly after all. They will be aware but most likely they'll ignore it.

I agree that the ability of the elderly to accept younger strong, they may think that virtual currency is non-existent things, they are more willing to believe the real thing, rather than can not see the touching. And most of them do not know computers, do not know how to operate and protect their wallet.

bitcoin for everyone, all circles, and all ages, from technical know and rules that apply .. bitcoin meat can for everything ..

I think bitcoin does not look at age. However, not many parents are interested, understand, or even invest bitcoin. That's because parents tend to prefer calm than take the risk of investing bitcoin that is fluctuating.

You can also bitcoin those who have no years for bitcoin how many years you can be able to bitcoin just knowingly worn. and bitcoin is not a year of choice as long as you know it. With this year’s incredible rally in bitcoin’s valuation driving it into mainstream global financial conversation, many established economic figures were called on to share their thoughts on the cryptocurrency.

Actually, Bitcoin is really for all for as long as you have capital for investment. We should increase their awareness that Bitcoin can change our lives to better and helps us to save for the future.
Many people have already earn so much money and I all to be inspired by that so that they can experience it.

There is no age barrier when it comes to bitcoin and aging people are no exemption. If they have the basic knowledge in operating computers and/or smart phones coupled with the basic knowledge in bitcoin then they are good to go. You have to just give them a little persuasion.

I think bitcoin is for every one not only for the teens who are related to the technology or gadgets. Bitcoin is for the people who are willing to earn and for the people who have dreams and want to claim it. Is not about age is all about hard work and patience.I think their is also a advantage of being old in bitcoin industry because they are experienced person and they have more patience rather than teenagers. And earning money has no age limit as long as you can so dont give your self any limitation. It is good to have source of income even your in the late stage of your life rather than doing nothing and ask for help to others.

A good opinion and I like your opinion.
Bitcoin is for all good children, adults and even older people can use bitcoin as long as they understand about bitcoin and understand about bitcoin so they can follow bitcoin in a confident state.

I think mostly of the old generation won't be able to understand and use bitcoin, maybe it's because they are not all fond of technology like some of them don't even know how to use computer but maybe for those educated olders we can help them to be aware of bitcoin by showing them an actual proof maybe you can show them your bitcoin wallet and make them see what can you make out of bitcoin.
 It's hard to convince them because they see bitcoin just like the scams in networking maybe an actual proof can make them listen to us.

Bitcoin is for all anyone can use it to make a better life, old people need a extra income because they are not strong like teenagers.

I do not think older people are interested in bitcoin. Most of their ideas are conservative. The elderly in my family have experienced war. They have experienced poverty, starvation and coldness, so they are more frugal, and I do not Think they will put money into bitcoin because they can not accept the risk.

It is very hard to encourage  old people to use new technologies.

Old people take more time to understand new technologies, but I don't see a reason why they wouldn't get bitcoin and can't use it. It's easy to understand ideology behind it and they don't need to know how the code works to use it. The most pertinent problem is simplicity to use Bitcoin, we need more and more services making crypto more user friendly and intuitive. It's possible and we're slowly getting there. We have now simple buy and sell services like Changelly, then Coinbase is trying to implement very simple wallet where you can have everything at the one place. In combination with regulation, old people can become more confident to join crypto.

The thing is bitcoin is dependent on computer and technology, the things that old people are having a hard time using. This will be a hindrance for them to progress or to even start any bitcoin activity. Still, I do believe that everything can be learned and if they are willing, they could learn it as well.

It's more difficult to share knowledge about bitcoin to old people because they obey technology than to teenager, to teach them you need more patience but i'm sure if they understand it's make extra income for them. Everyone can get bitcoin it doesn't depend on age, occupation and etc, so everyone who understand the system can get bitcoin.  :)

I think spreading awareness for the technologically inclined old people is not a problem at all.

the problem is how to convince the technologically illiterate to get into the game.

they are those who want to kill bitcoin and always campaigning for the fall of it.

if they get on board without even contributing, things will change.

bitcoin free anyone can have it but we have to understand how to get it and how to menggukannya so if the parents want to have this bitcoin is very good because it can be used as a pension and future savings and the point is everyone has the right to have bitcoin without having to look at the age ;)

I think bitcoin is for anyone who wants to learn and know what bitcoin is. as long as used properly and correctly, then this bitcoin can be for all age above 15 or 16 years and above.

Old people is very difficult to convey information about Bitcoin. Because, many think that this is a financial pyramid and in general do not know anything about the crypto currency.
You need powerful arguments for the elderly person to start using Bitcoin.

spread to old people that bitcoin is easy, more convenience and reliable to use, some other old people are getting tired/hate to buy things in a stores and malls. instead of going to that place teach them on how to buy online, all things can be buy online and the payment is into bitcoin. many online stores are accepting bitcoin as mode of payment, but not at all accept. tell them that this is a another good way of investment program that can earn profits by holding it. and so on. there are so many ways to let old people learned about bitcoin.

it would be very difficult to convince parents to start using bitcoin and invest there. maybe we should use a language that is easier to digest them. considering the parents are very limited about the sophistication of internet technologythis is something we should be able to fix. if bitcoin is used only for those who want to learn, bitcoin usage will become constrained. we need to invite many people from young to old to use bitcoin. and if that we can realize. bitcoin will become very common and widely used

Introducing bitcoin on old people is like teaching them how to use computers, smartphones, or anything related to technology. Bitcoin also uses technology. It may very hard at first, but once they have already known what bitcoin is all about. It would be a big help for financial status of a family if we encourage our parents, our old loved ones to invest on bitcoin.

why should the old people, I think bitcoin is for everyone not just for the elderly, many young people are interested and have a high spirits to be successful in bitcoin, so everyone has the same chance to be successful

I think that to spread awareness to old people, bitcoin needs to have advertisements or commercials. Since old people most likely stays at home watching television. Also, it should be on the newspapers. Advertisements on the social media might do because some old people have their accounts and spends their time browsing through their newsfeed. But for old people to start earning bitcoin, it might be hard. Because they might not understand on how bitcoin works.

Literally it's true, it really hard to discuss to them regarding this subject because aside from the fact that they haven't really know what's going on on the world of technology they are also old to consider this kind of business. And also I guess it also really hard for them to understand what bitcoin truly is.

I also often think if my parents also invest in bitcoin, it will benefit a lot. But making parents aware of bitcoin is not that easy, we have to explain first about bicoin and how it works, because most parents do not understand about the internet let alone about bitcoin.
Actually this will be a bit difficult, as most bitcoin users are young people who easily understand how bitcoin works, so it would be difficult if we explained about bitcoin to our parents.

I think they are able to learn, but they have to understand and apply for a long time, and the bitcoin market is moving too fast. I think many elderly people will not be able to withstand this change. Learning ability is only one of the reasons, but More importantly, can they afford the stimulus? I'm a bit skeptical.

It's not young and old, male or female but the basic understanding of money is enough to explain Bitcoin to anyone. The best way is to demonstrate the actual transaction if possible and explaining the back end process in easy to understand language. It's not a tough job to explain Bitcoin to old age people but millennials adopt this rapidly as compared to that of old age people.

Bitcoin is not for old people since they dont have knowledge about internet and advanced technology. Peope with enough knowledge about bitcoin should  only invest in this.

I think it is impossible for the elderly to participate in bitcoin investment. They are pursuing stability. Bitcoin investment is volatile. It does not have stable income.

Bitcoin can use of everyone but it is true if you discuss bitcoin in elders is very hard because some of the elder cannot use technologies and they will not understand how bitcoin works. If you want to teach bitcoin u need a lot of patience and lot of knowledget o teach them how to used bitcoin interms of their capabilities.

Knowing that some old people like our grandmothers and grandfathers doesnt want to associate their lives in new technology or being stack in social media is verry hard for them to focus. But by explaning to them how can bitcoin change their life, maybe it will caught their attention.First step is by being a good example. Show them how succesfull you are now and let them be the one to question you how you become succed and take the opportunity to explain.

I would think that too, but also the technical brarriers need to be removed.

Nowadays, at least in my country, older people have no problems with paying with cards like visa or mastercard, they just do the contactless payments and that is it. But why? Because it is easy to the extreme! And if (when) the barriers to use bitcoin are removed, I am positive that it will be embraced by older people too.

Also what I mentioned in my earlier post, we need to educate older people not to radicule them when they have questions or doubts.

Bitcoin is not limited to investment, it can be used, for example, to gift your grandchildren and eventually, if it reaches a critical mass in adoption, can also be used as payment. The key is to offer simple and valuable tools that elders can use daily.

Bitcoin is for everybody, so it includes also older people. It only depends on how active, participative and updated they are in hi-technologies. It is not totally 100% who wants to be a member or want to invest bitcoin, one factor that really affects to their "No" and "Don't" (learning and knowing Bitcoin) is their health, willingness and capabilities to work.

I think bitcoin is too late for old people its hard for them to understand what bitcoin is all about most of old people has no interest in gadget including the computers.

I think one way to spread awareness of bitcoin to older people is to introduce it to them through seminars or conventions or even one on one discussion. Another is by showing them how bitcoin changed oir loves and helped us financially so they will begin to see bitcoin as something positive. We can never deny the fact that most old people are skeptic when it comes to digital investments or certain technologies unless they are really open to certain changes and willing to learn and adopt to it, so they basically need to have enough knowledge about it before they begin to trust and dive in it.

We need to be aware that people that consider as old may also have a knowledge about computers and the technologies itself, Most of the people today must take note that if there is no people behind this developed technology and new form of computers most people would not deal with this much development and progress. So basically it is not that hard for us to explain bitcoin for people to get to know it in the from of investments , transactions and tradings.

And I were trying to explain how the bitcoin works on older folks... It was so funny to see their denial over how cryptocurrency works and them trying to say that cryptocurrency is all in our imagination

I think if you would advertise bitcoin to older people you will just waste your time. I think we must advertise it to younger ones because older people usually do and use the things that they have been use when they are younger so it can be a waste of time if you do that.

I teach IT to aged people and also we talk a lot of blockchain and btc.
They are curious and skeptical at the same time, but a lot of them understand what a big tool it is.

Bitcoin will not be the best thing for the old people because old people will have a lot of hard times in understanding how to use bitcoin because their memory and sense of understanding is a bit weaker and slower than before so i think that it is not a good thing to teach the old people to use bitcoin and it is only best if you will introduce it to the young people.

I think that you can start with the fact that this is the same money only electronic digital. It's better for an elderly person not to explain in the Internet language replacing the words "electronic money" with words such as cryptocurrency. It's also necessary to explain that bitcoin is the same money that they can pay for the purchase of goods or certain services that they can pay for the Internet, utilities.

It looks like its going to be difficult, for example,my country the majority of internet users is more dominant among young people than older people, even many parents who really have no knowledge of what is bitcoin. because they are already accustomed to using paper money.

I don’t think so because now at my home my all oldies are really talented because they knows how to use new technologies and new currencies, one of my uncle he is totally aware of crypto currency and he told me this that I also should start using bitcoin as side source of income. In bitcoin most of us use our knowledge and information not age, so people of any age can use bitcoin if they have small knowledge about bitcoin.

bitcoin is for everyone both young and old, male and female. its a currency of the 21st century which really captured the attention the youths and young adults. but the fact is, older people can also venture into it. as a matter of fact, some older men has idle funds which can be invested in bitcoin.

I agree that Bitcoin is for everyone. But i think elder people should enjoy the rest of their life instead investing for future.

I think that is not necessary. This is comparable to the fact that some elderly people do not understand how to use a smartphone. And it is very difficult to understand them. And the crypto currency is generally very difficult to understand.

Bitcoin is for everyone who has a proper state of mind. You cannot teach it to impaired people because bitcoin requires awareness and consciousness. As for old people, it depends on their physical and psychological state. If they are to understand the concept of bitcoin, then why not. Added to that, you should be able to facilitate the information because some old people are ignorant when it comes to technology.

Most elderly people are very far from the Internet, from new technologies, they hardly use gadgets, they are accustomed to cash. They can tell about bitcoin, but they will not invest in it.

Actually I do not think that old people have greater difficulties to approach the bitcoin, because the interest in these issues is not determined by age, but by education and personal involvement of each individual on issues related to economics and finance. In fact at this time I see a widespread ignorance of most people about the benefits of bitcoin, and this includes young people, adults and the elderly.

Bitcoin doesn't select the age, People now a days are very knowledgeable about computer's and other technologies, Still oldies are also welcome to join in crypto environment, They plays vital role to raise up cryptocurrncy. We need to spread the good news through social media's and other medium of spreading info's to earn bountiful benefits brought by cryptocurrency, It makes our life run simpler:)

I do not think parents need to know Bitcoin. Usually, people who are in the generation above us already have a lot of money and effort. It's because they've worked hard and the competition in the past has not been as tight as it is now. In the past, non-educated and highly educated people could succeed. But now, not necessarily. You have to really know what you're doing to be successful. So my conclusion is, maybe for some parents need to know Bitcoin for their business continuity. But most of them probably do not need anymore. However, technological developments must still be studied so we are not confused and outdated.

This is a good idea. Retirees can work with Bitcoin at home, it does not take too much time. This is a very good and profitable hobby. But in the second hand, older people usually do not trust crypto currencies and it is difficult for them to understand what Bitcoin is.

prove to them about bitcoin with the results we get from bitcoin, maybe they will ask questions
and will start to rise if there is strong evidence of bitcoin
from profit to risk can we explain

You are right, age is not an obstacle. As long as they understand and up to date on technological developments, they will be able to enjoy the financial technology development. If everyone wants to learn, all people of all ages can use bitcoin.

Yep, I also suppose that it’s really not easy for any of us to share bitcoin’s knowledge for old people. As far as I know that the old people  get many weak point when they have ages ,especially they have bad memory, so we get much troubles in conveying them the knowledge or the necessary things in crypto market. However, I think it depends on every people character. Because I think with some people who have knowledge in technology, I’m sure that they are very interested in some work like this. Therefore, we can show them the way to do with bitcoin, but it’s really rare for the old people to keep an eye on this work.

I though spreading awareness of bitcoin is a good idea. Bitcoin is for everyone, it's not about the age anymore as long as you can handle to join crypto environment. And for me the best to convince oldies is to show them how good bitcoin impacts to those join with the help of social media or maybe personally.

i think bitcoin will be less important when other coins will pass by on volume, eth i getting closer and closer

You cannot totally convince the oldies because for them it is not an interesting thing for them to get into because they are saying that bitcoin is only for the young people and we they should avoid using it in order for them to not mess up and for me, i agree with them because it is for new generation and not the old people since they are experiencing different problems like loss in memory that can lead them to losing their password and other important things.

Yes sharing information about bitcoin on old people is a great thought. I think as long as they are interested with bitcoin and have the passion to learn what it is I think you are good to go. As others stated it is not going to be easy to share with old people cause they will not be interested or others have different priorities now. But why not give it a try instead of speculating.

Bitcoin for everyone. If you tell them about bitcoin, they will able to use bitcoin.

words that are easy to understand and detailed explanations in my opinion can awaken old People to understand and use Bitcoin.

bitcoin for all people, from small children to old people can buy and trade bitcoin. simply buying a bitcoin at a cheap price and holding it until it is expensive and selling it will make them more relaxed in the investment. indeed the main problem is how to explain to them what bitcoin is and how it works. old people who follow technological developments must also know what bitcoin is, but for old people who do not know anything about technology, it's a bit harder to explain to them what bitcoin is. they will only be assured of real investments such as gold, land, property and others.

Bitcoin is open for everyone who wants to join bitcoin even you are old as long as you know how to work with cryptocurrency and you know how to use internet because bitcoin is easy to learn and understand.

It’s my opinion…..  when everyone is experience there is no limitations.. Bitcoin is for everyone no age limit required .. Young people are easy to adopt cryptocurrency because we are in a new and computer generation.young people know already how to use computer..... so I think easy for theam....of bitcoin.

For me Bitcoin if for everyone who really wants to do it. Age, gender, race, location, educational attainment wouldn't matter if the person really wants to do it, the eagerness to learn and earn is there, he/she got the patience, passion and perseverance, then there will be no reason why he can't use it. :)

Yep, I also suppose that it’s really not easy for any of us to share bitcoin’s knowledge for old people. As far as I know that the old people  get many weak point when they have ages, especially they have bad memory ,so we get much troubles in conveying them the knowledge or the necessary things in crypto market. However, I think it depends on every people character. Because I think with some people who have knowledge in technology, I’m sure that they are very interested in some work like this. Therefore, we can show them the way to do with bitcoin, but it’s really rare for the old people to keep an eye on this work.

I think it is bit difficult to explain and convince old people about bitcoin because they will be sticking hardly to traditional investments like real estate, gold or some kind of fixed assets. Old people always believe in physical things rather than digital. Hope you or anyone wants to explain to old people about bitcoin to them is a challenge.

Old people are hard to deal with especially on issues like this bitcoin because they have a lot of perspective in life that you cannot break it easily. But if bitcoin will be translated to them in a manner that they can relate maybe they will start to join bitcoin especially when they will start to receive income from doing bitcoin. And when this old people will enter into bitcoin, they will not easy to get out and surrender, therefore they can contribute to the foregoing market of BTC, who knows about the future of bitcoin if many of the old people will join also and invest in it.

I think that it is necessary to make the use of bitcoin simple and convenient, and then, as with credit cards, old people will start using it

Bitcoin is for everybody, so it includes also older people. It only depends on how active, participative and updated they are in hi-technologies. It is not totally 100% who wants to be a member or want to invest bitcoin, one factor that really affects to their "No" and "Don't" (learning and knowing Bitcoin) is their health, willingness and capabilities to work.

For all those people, it is not for adults to have any children just like me. But it's pretty good if everybody especially adults grow up for the sake of life, but with the issue of bitcoin and fake news spreading bitcoin it's likely not to allow other governments to come up bitcoin.

Bitcoin is for everyone either old or young they can used bitcoin as long as they understand cryptocurrency and they open their mind to gained knowledge about it.We know old people are hard to convince on believing that we can earn in btc spreading them the facts about it make them agree on it.

Exactly and i think old people are more keen  to learn something new and earn money. I know old people who work in online support, or copywriters. Bitcoin for the elderly is an excellent opportunity to earn, because by virtue of their age, their work capacity is limited. They need only to understand the computer and be able to go online.

Its really hard to deal with old people because they think they are more wiser than us..sometimes they dont listen to what we said.. Spreading awareness to them might be difficult but if they were going to ask me, I just say that bitcoin is just like currency like dollars..but the difference is it is a digital money spent electronically all over the world,, maybe they are already aware of online shopping or electronic payment in that way they would understand.

We know that most of the time bitcoin is for millennials and many teenagers are now starting to get interested in bitcoin and investing in it. I do think that for us to be able to get our elders to get interested in bitcoin we should take give them and teach them the knowledge that we know and make them interested in bitcoin. Bitcoin is for everybody and anyone is welcome as long as they are interested to take part of this revolutionary currency.

Just begin with yourself - tell about bitcoins to your parents and grandparents. At the same time I think a lot of old people know about BTC - at present we can hear about BTC on TV or radio, BTC is rather popular now

Well, it will be somehow hard to let old people use it. Teaching or spreading the knowledge about bitcoin to them will be a hard thing. Most old people are not interested on it, except for those who are business minded, and love adapting to early age generation. But to others, I'm pretty sure that they will not waste time to learn about it. But still in order for them to be aware of its existence, you must show them proofs, explain to them where did it start and how does it work. They must have the basic knowledge about it.

Bitcoin is for everyone wether young or old for as long as you have better understanding on it. It depends on the old people on how to take it positively and how eager they would like to learn about Bitcoin. And of course prior getting into it basic knowledge still apply.

Difficult to give Blockster technology knowledge to oldster. They do not even care about this technology.
They only know the money and I do not want to give them trouble. Let them enjoy their old age

I think bitcoin for everyone, but old peoople have more chance than new people

It is free that you may have to tell them about this and this up to them if they might gonna have do to approach it then this is the good thing for.

Although it can help old people to make their life easier in a way that they just need a mobile phone to carry all their money but I think new things that came to their life will make nonsense because older people want the way they usually do when they are young.

BTC for Every one. not only for old people.

.           When we are going to open the conversation of bitcoin to elderly people, they always say that they don’t know about it. They don’t have any idea about bitcoin, even we explain to them slowly of what is the benefit from it , they always insist that they  do not know what to do especially on computers.  But I know for sure that if they are only have the skill in handling computers or gadgets, I think they are one of those big earners of bitcoin . '.

Yes, truly bitcoin can be used in all ages but since this technology needs more understanding, it only applicable for middle ages. Not exactly old paps and moms really interested on this  cause I think they don't need it anymore nor it could be necessary for them to learn these things.

Bitcoin is something that is flexible and can be learned an earned by anyone of us. Elderly people have still the opportunity to try it and earn from it. There's no harm but be still responsible.

Maybe like what the usual thing do. You know what if bitcoin would get popular, maybe more popular than it is now old people would the first thing who would pay attention on this stuffs because they do not have so much time better than young people who spend a lot of time doing some stuffs that is satisfied or entertained them. So you do not even need to make a precise move that would catch the attention of an old people.

Most old people don't even know how technology works if you're gonna teach them about bitcoin start first by teaching them how to use computer and other gadgets they'll understand it if you start teaching them the basics it always starts with the basics then if they are already accustomed in using our present technology tell them about cryptocurrency not just bitcoin and they'll easily understand it.

Bitcoin is not for only old people.bitcoin is for those who are related in technology.
Young people are more interested than older about crypto currency.old people are
addicted to paper money.they think it's a prank.the main reason is if they know
most of the country's bitcoin are illegal they will not invest at all.

Maybe they can enhance it to teach them how to use the new generation of technologies like computers laptops and gadgets for them to know it how to learn it and understanding it thru themselves

But it seems that is quite difficult. Some older generations lack understanding of technological developments, my parents even just use their handphones to make a call. But my parents always support me, because I always tell them about my investment development in cryptocurrency, even though they do not fully understand.

I'm glad parents are involved in bitcoin problems right now, the reason is not that they are what they want and bitcoin challenges are a lot of things they know for the time being. It does sound sad and horrible but if you are 70 years old, you do not have to learn new technology that you need to focus on for the last few days of your life. 8)

Old people for bitcoin why not! Many people now are skilled about the modern technology.If the old people have a capability to do so why not and if they have a mentor to BTC go old people to be productive.

There's about age, but the thing is they are not flexible in technology. Maybe in investing they have chance but in altcoin? posting is quite difficult to them. In joining campaign but if they really have and they want to learn from bitcoin then they need to start from themselves.

Blockchain is modern technology and most people involved in cryptocurrencies are relatively young. The majority of the elderly people are not into bitcoin. But the problem is where do you draw the line. At what age do you consider someone old. There are many investors not that young, who own lots of bitcoin.

Firstly, since there are no some kind of centralized rules like age restriction in Bitcoin,I strongly believe that the old people can be taught about Bitcoin,though it might require extra time to pass the message across and the acceptability from them might be quite low as some of them will insist on their old way of doing things not welcoming any change.

Moreover, there is a huge potential for gains in bringing older people to the crypto ... this can also be a good business.

Its not that hard,ofcourse old peoples are not technically liberated or have only small to no knowledge about technology and internet.But some old people are into it,using bitcoins as business.I know many old people into bitcoin

I do not think that elderly will be interested in anything that is connected with risk. You should agree that Bitcoin trading and investments into it are risky things. Old people need stability, thus they will not deal with crypto. Probably 2-5% of them might trade, but not more.

I doubt if the elderies would still find interest with bitcoin,espescially with the commitment and time you have to give for you to profit.

Maybe if you can find a way to make bitcoin's features (can be used in transactions) more easier, then I think it would be possible.

I think the most older people are a big problem for the most new technology. They have always negative attitude and just telling anybody around how bad it is and they wont use it. So they creating a lot of FUD arround without even understanding the technology. So bringing the blockchain technology to the old people will be one of the biggest challenges to get accepted, and it will not happen any time soon.

In my opinion, the elderly should pay more attention to the elderly. As they grow older, their learning abilities will gradually diminish. Maybe the young people can learn something in a day. The elderly can take days or even months and they are more focused Is to enjoy life later life, I think there is no need to toss them.

For me, I will introduce bitcoin to old people by telling them first the value of bitcoin. Then I will tell them the value and benefits that they can get when they use bitcoin and lastly I will tell them the steps on how to use bitcoin. Bitcoin is suitable for old people because they will get money from bitcoin. If something happens like accident, they can get money from bitcoin.

I think if we hold a large number of bitcoin, sell them to buy house, car... then show your parent...
Actions do speak louder than words

Bitcoin could be used for all ages, simply it has no age restriction. As long as you know how to manipulate bitcoin or how it runs in this economy, you will be free too go. Which made its only requirement is for you just to read. What matters is how are you going to strategies your own bitcoin. If then you know how to cope up with that thing, age won't hold you back. An awareness isn't really required at all, there is no need to be restricted. What matters is for you just to deal its cycle.

I'm pretty sure that it's going to be a hard time to get old people to use bitcoin. I've seen many grandmas and grandpas that does not even want to use smartphones or pc even their families gave them to. Maybe only a small percentage will do it.

Bitcoin has very imported for old people Beasley they can't do job and can do hard work physically. Bitcoin is very easy because bitcoin work does not need hard working physically. The old people can do work while they are sitting in their home even in their bad they can do. They can arrange time for the bitcoin work and can earn good income. Also some old people have saving so if they invest that saving in the bitcoin it will generate income for them while if they keep it their will now benefit.

Consent to your opinion, I taught my parents' computers and smartphones for a week, and they still forget that their learning ability has gradually declined, but I will not tell my parents that I have invested in the development of cryptocurrencies because they will worry about me and will not agree with me because their thoughts are conservative.

Yes bitcoin is definitely for everyone with no age limit. As long as they are still capable and interested with bitcoin and how it works then I think being old is not an issue at all. Plus bitcoin is not really physically demanding but time consuming but I think time is not an issue for old people cause most of them have nothing to do at all. I think learning bitcoin even if your old gives a positive effect, for it makes you think even more which makes your brain sharper. Instead of doing nothing, they will have something to keep them busy.

Make the newspaper full of campaigns related to bitcoins. Old people aren’t much interacted with this technology and social media. They prefer to read newspaper. So why not giving them every information on their page, right front of their eyes.

This will give a big boost to the social camping of bitcoins and they will be more followed by the people who have even little knowledge about them.

You already said it that the old people are not interested with the technology and social media and i think that even though it will catch their attention and curiosity then it will still be a no for them to accept bitcoin or even use it because it will be complicated to them to use bitcoin since it is related to technology and it is not for their generation.

Most oldies still prefer physical cold hard cash over anything virtual like bitcoin or cryptocurrency

Actually for parents who already have a business or for those who have become successful entrepreneurs, will not worry anymore about the financial problems. Maybe they will only monitor their company or business and do not bother about other things. But maybe for businessmen who engaged in the field of economy or a particular field need to monitor and learn about the world of crypto. Not all parents have to close their eyes and do not want to know about crypto, maybe some of them must still learn the development of the era so as not to go bankrupt. For young people, of course this kind of knowledge should be learned because everything is now online.

My grandparents can not use a PC or a smartphone so I don't think bitcoin is for them. There are elder people who can manage this so it's worth teaching them about bitcoin

It's hard for old people to use Bitcoin because most don't know how to use a computer or any electronic item..

Fine bitcoins for old people, everyone has the right to seek and use access bitcoins. thus create a old people having inheritable bitcoins to his family, We have to know that not only the young generation can have but everyone can.

Most of old people are not technological people. It will be hard for them to understand how bitcoin works. Most of them will only understand about how to use it. Tell them to use mobile wallet version, it's much more easier to use. The privat key and btc address is too long, even common people are a bit confuse to understand what is private key and btc address in the first time.

May be bitcoin is not easy for the eldery generation. They need some longer time for studying and understanding but it's a great opportunity to earn for them. They can work at home. They aren't asked questions about their ages.

Maybe I'm too pessimistic. I do not think that it is a good thing for elders to invest in bitcoin. Elderly people are vulnerable. Many elderly people have high blood pressure and heart disease. The price of bitcoin fluctuates too much. If bit the sharp drop in the price of the currency is likely to make them unbearable or even sick.

I joined the bitcoin maybe just two month ago and I have get the little thing form bitcoin, maybe my live is be better easy when I have know and participated at bitcoin,  before I know the bitcoin nothing can I do for my family, I don’t have enough money for my child education, I can give more for my needed my wife, but after I know about the bitcoin I can give them more than they need, I am really thanks I have know and get money form bitcoin.

Hi, Dubby

I think it was easy to tell old bitcoin with old people , but quite tricky to ask them join with cryptocurrency..
i'llask you all the detail bout bitcoin and other cryptocurrency..
I've been try to talk it with my granny..

it's just my opinion..

Bitcoin is good for the old and young people of the world. we have to be the part of this currency and if we have some knowledge of the market then it is very convenient for us because i have tried to become the successful investor of the digital money.
Bitcoin is the foremost currency and we come to know that bitcoin is good for old and new people as well. But if they are computer literate and they know the importance of the crypto currencies.

It depends on them if they are educated and if they have knowledge about computer, internet they can use the bitcoin. Initially, guidance is needed, as they are old people after retirement they will get ample time to get involved in the bitcoin, but this not holds good for all only for few.

But I think even if there is a chance, the elderly will not invest bitcoin, they can not afford bitcoin fluctuations.

In my opinion, _ Bitcoin is not just for old people, Rather the new generation is interested in new work, and the problem of old people is that they are less interested in the new generation.
Therefore, it is not just for old and young people, but for everyone.

Most retired folks prefer physical cash over anything else. Maybe cheques but that’s about it lol

Bitcoin for old people is still profitable since they only stay at home, it is an advantage for them because they can still work and earn altcoins in return. Most of the people are retiring at the age of 60 and they can still earn money through working on the bounty campaigns by getting a decent amount of altcoins.

Bitcoin is an alien thing to the elderly, and maybe it has not even been heard, let alone invested, so in fact I think bitcoin is not good for the elderly.

bitcoin is for everyone, and everyone can be able to use it. but I agree that convincing elderly people to use bitcoin is very hard because them because they are already contented with there life and doesn't want to change anything. One reason that I can suggest to convince elderly one is that it can serve as there hobby so that they will not be bored while they earn money. They can engaged with everyone and learn new things.

We dont really need old people for bitcoin to be accepted. Sooner than we notice, those old people who are afraid of change will be really old and have little to no energy to stop bitcoin and crypto being used elsewhere.

Not for the old folks in my family. Cryptocurrency is way too technical and complicated for them.  I'd just let them enjoy their retirement. I don’t want them to experience the stress bitcoin investors are having right now.

I think that older people should refrain from investing in bitcoin and altcoin! Because of the volatility of the bitcoin exchange rate, healthy people's health is undermined, and what will happen to the old!?))

Bitcoin is for everyone , we cannot say bitcoin is only for old people . The major concept of bitcoin is anybody can invest in bitcoin , if we know all the concept of bitcoin and it’s market , then there is no any ristriction to invest in bitcoin .

Bitcoin is believed to be a promising future transaction system, I'm sure that the future of bitcoin will continue to improve so it is worth introducing to everyone including the elderly, it will come that bitcoin is used massively so we all need to know bitcoin including old people.

There are many people who are using Bitcoin today, which also affects people who are interested in virtual currency, there are many old and young people involved in Bitcoin, Bitcoin does not. Investors are old or young, only investors who are passionate about Bitcoins or have needs can join Bitcoin.

For now anyone can learn not to look at age will be able to join and learn to understand crypto and it all depends on our intention whether we will work hard or just want to know because it all depends on our intention.

Bitcoin, although digital in nature and originated from 20th century technological development, is user-friendly and is suitable for use of different ages as long as they are able to use a computer and is capable of operating a computer. It means that even old people I say could invest in bitcoin as long as they are educated about how to operate a computer and how to use the internet effectively.

I think we should just forget about the old folks and concentrate on the newer generation or those that were born after the creation of bitcoin because they will have the opportunity to learn right from the beginning just like those of us who were born after the invention of computer and the internet and how we have been able to integrate that into our life unlike the older generation who were before computer.

Super investment for all our time. Buy bitcoin in 2008. And spend it now, this is the best pleasure. Especially for older people. Which now do not work, they have a pension. Live, relax and smile ... ;)

I think it is not advisable that old people will join or have a transactions in bitcoin because for me they have not enough knowledge about in bitcoin and also in the online matters .We all know that the focus of bitcoin users nowadays is the millenials even though the other old people is capable to do these things,it depends on them the decision if they will enter the bitcoin world.

Exactly, I don't think they would be able to do all these stuff, as they would find it very hard. They might have alot of money from their life savings which they could easily multiply by investing into cryptocurrencies, but they won't be able to understand about cryptos as most of the aged people would find it very difficult to understand. One thing that I think can be done would be, if someone else from their family invests their money and does all the things needed.

Basically Bitocin is for everyone, regardless the age. But in fact old people are generally less interested about Bitcoin and crypto currencies than young people. The old generations trust more fiat money and they used it for so many years, it is a bit hard to convince them start using digital currencies, like BTC.

To teach bitcoin to parents is difficult because they do not live in modern times, but there are also parents who respect even just because they hear what they want to achieve.

I think it's a bit complicated for them to learn. They should be resting than working to earn bitcoin. They should be spending rather than earning money. It's their compensation for working hard all of their lives. I'd rather have myself working and earning bitcoin for them to use.

Bitcoin is developed for everyone who is capable of learning the technology that might change the system of monetarial transactions in the marketplace. So, the information and technology behind this innovation does not exclude our elderly. In fact, Bitcoin can be very useful for them in securing them selves financially.

Using bitcoin has no age limit.The old ones just needs support and guides about using technology and on how they are going to access bitcoin.And we need to show to them how does bitcoin works and how does bitcoin affects and change the life of normal people into better living so that they doesnt need to worry anything.

Bitcoins are already simple enough to understand specially if you'll be treating bitcoins as a forn of money instead of an asset. The elderly will definitely get this easily and they'll get to invest in bitcoins with their pension or something.

In my opinion it's difficult to make "everyday" old people use bitcoin: the tech is difficult to understand, not enough merchant, not enough urgency

If anyone can make good apps that creates urgency for them to use, then there is hope :)

Bonus: what make elders use smartphone? It's photograph and social media!

they can be used it as their hobby. Start explaining them what bitcoin is in a simplest way then start discussing how to do bitcoin .Guide them everytime they want to ask something since this people are not so techky. Benefits of it is they can used it as past time as well as earning money.

I think bitcoin is very fitting for old age, where old age is not too heavy at work, but work casual but make money. of course very worthy bitcoin for future investment let alone for the old days.

I think it's hard to get parents to know about bitcoin, because most parents find it hard to understand the crypto world, even they do not understand about the internet.
Especially if the money invested has a large amount, this will make parents afraid to lose their money, unless they have seen successful people by investing in bitcoin, maybe our parents will believe and ready to invest in bitcoin.

Yeah i do think so, those people who already retire on their work can still be a full time trader and earn a lot of profit withing just a month. Now a days those people who does not have work can still join on bounty campaigns to earn money for sustaining their daily needs.

Bitcoin is for everyone who are interested in it. Teenagers and old people are always welcomed in the bitcoin thing if they want to

for me as a newbie Anyone can use bitcoin as long as they know about crypto money. bitcoin is for all those who understand these things.

Not that complicated if someone is managing the investment for them. I have seen 80 year old pensioners investing in mutual funds and equities, without even knowing the meaning of a stock exchange. The portfolio managers do everything for them, starting from the selection of the mutual fund to the date of profit booking.

Bitcoin I think it’s not just for the old man, but bitcoin also can be used by young children, because of all the could use bitcoin for they understand in the use of her because parents well that can not use the internet then can not be using bitcoin.
I also not was my parents can be said still in the teen but I’ve been using bitcoin as an additional my income

Bitcoin is for everyone but I think they ignore what I am saying to them because old people they don't want to use gadgets and its hard for them to understand what the use of bitcoin for now and in the future because all they want is to go some quiet place and inhale the fresh air. They no longer appreciate the modern world.

It is a good idea, elder people specially those who are retired already have more time than any of us. If they introduced to bitcoin it may become their hobby or they will give their full time to it. The more probability that they will earn more.

Make it as simple as possible. Put it in layman's terms since not all of the elderly we know is capable of capturing the idea of cryptocurrency. Make it likr you're teaching a child how to earn and use money wisely. All it takes is a little imagination and patience to curb these golden pillars to invest on their own.

What do you mean by parents with no age limit or limited age limit, because the way of thinking and thinking of each parent with increasing age is reduced or have been lazy to think. and bitcoin does not look at age as long as it can still understand, understand and can use it .. so I think younger thinking is more feasible because tarap thinking is still good because bitcoin requires insight and understanding easily and understandable about bitcoin and this forum.

Bitcoin for old people?
Yes it can. In fact its not only for old people but its for everyone who is trying to get more successful in their life. Anyone in this society are welcome to be part in bitcoin. Of course at first you have to be more knowledgeable. Just do some research and your in.

i never have idea about it ;D
i just tell them (my parent) about what i do but not specific when tell to a friend. to difficult tell them because they have old brain ;D as long they are not curious that make them worried, its good. new technology for all people but it have limitation for who are they

No problem, as long as they have the willingness to study about bitcoin. Also if they have the determination and hardwork to do it. No oldies are exempted if it is needed.

Yes it will not be complicated since you are the one or the younger one will handle the bitcoin of the older person.  But if the user of bitcoin is kind of old, I think it will be hard  for them to manage their accounts.  It is needed to memorize passwords, email, and keys.  And using gadgets at their age will be a toll to them.

I think that is a difficult way because most parents can not use the internet and it is very disturbing for them if we tell how bitcoin works can only be done via the internet.

We can not say that old people dont know how to use technology. There are still few who know how to use them. But to join bitcoin is different idea. Cryptocurrency or digital currency are terms only milenials can understand . Not even all can understand this. Thus, i can say, old people are not too knolegeable enough for technology and specially in bitcoin as well.

This is a good idea. We need good bitcoin portfolio managers who are not scammers.

I think its a bit difficult for older ones to learn about bitcoin because some of them do not know how to use computer or electronic gadgets.Older people usually dont spend their days in front of computer, tablet or phones. They used to take some rest most of the days. But if they really wanted to learn, i think they wil still have time for it. But it will take them a lot of time. And for them to be aware, we must educate them how bitcoin works and what it is for. Hope they will be interested on using it.

I think this bitcoin is not just for parents only, children above 15 or 16 years old and also have to be introduced with this bitcoin investment, why I can suggest like this because I see from this bitcoin we will be able to get a more independent work and can more to be careful to do any of that later.

Age does not matter here in Bitcoin as long as oldies are interested and could understand by all means to get involve especially in forum. Oldies must be knowledgeable in using their computer so it will be easier for them to use it. I would prefer our old folks to learn also trading.

I think is very harn to teach old people about bitcoin, exception they already have knowledge about internet, why? Because before they know bitcoin they should know more about internet first. Internet is main media to learn more about bitcoin, sell and buy bitcoin, the risk of bitcoin, etc. So I sugest you should be patient to teach old people. some people say, is very difficult to learn in old days, seem like carve on the rocks

I do not think that this will be relevant for the elderly. It's very difficult for them.

Let them see the stuffs that we are running here. How we handle things in here. The secret is to get their attention and open their mind about the possibilities that we are working on so they on their own would work on how to learn about bitcoin

Honestly, teaching elderly people are so hard because they were not born in millenial age or era and they can not easily adopt technology. I have been experiencing it with my relatives and my parents.

The older generation is having a hard time coping with new technologies, and these include crypto currencies like bitcoin. This can be too complex for them. I think its better if we start introducing bitcoin to the younger generation.

agree, bitcoin is suitable for anyone and does not distinguish age, bitcoin easy to use because now many things that have been done by developers to make bitcoin better and easier to use like bitcoin credit card from Xapo.

To be honest, old people don't know how to use smartphone and you want to raise awareness about bitcoin  :) Some of them don't even know how to make a bank transfer and you cannot teach them.

This is an interesting topic. I think it is difficult to explain to old people about bitcoin maybe they will not believe. For the elderly, they will choose safer ways to invest. Can I explain all the benefits of bitcoin to them. Maybe some people will understand and invest in it

bitcoin in my opinion can also be used for children who have grown up, when they enter college, (lecture), because of this bitcoin that will stand on our own to work independently. provided it is used properly and correctly.

bitcoin doesn't require any age for as long as you are capable of doing bitcoin, then you may join bitcoin for free.  maybe if you really want to help a bit older people to learn bitcoin they should fitst know how to use computer and familiarize the basic thing in joining bitcoin. have a piece of laptop and  wifi.

Why do you think so? The issue of how to use BTC. Just like a smartphone or bank account. Everything can be learned.

Yes ! Bitcoin is for everyone, whether young or old. Older people can learn about bitcion if we teach them the basic like ,what is Bitcoin, how they can get it and how it can help them.

To me the best way is to get them to test it and play around with it. For the oldest of people like 90+ I would say leave it as the tech won't apply much but if you are in the 50-80 range you should learn about bitcoin because like algorithms are everyday present right now and we don't even know it, that is how blockchain will apply to the world in 10 years from now. The transformation will be magical but it will go unnoticed by most, especially those who aren't involved in this industry everyday.

That's gonna be hard, because my surrounding old people can't even use credit cards properly. I think we have to teach them step by step, like we did in terms of explaining them Facebook, Skype and just email. But that will extremely hard. By saying old I mean people above 70s. Even those that are above 60s will be hard to convince. I have never tried but to be honest I don't see a big use of it, because I don't think will care about it.

Anyways, this post gave me some incentives to start, so I will try and see what happens.  ;)

I don't think that bitcoin, or crypto currencies in general are something for older people to invest in.
I suppose there are exceptions, but all older people I know have troubles working with a computer.
And understanding what a crypto currency does and how it works, to me that looks like an even way more difficult task for them.
I can't recommend an investment to somebody when I know that person does not know what he is investing in and where the risks are.

No its not. So many old people have so much problem with the simplest and easiest technology today. I have so many old co workers who cant use an pc after years of working with it. They always swear about the system and telling old storys how good it was in the past where they dont have to workd with computers. So those people will never accept cryptocurrencies as an daily currency. So we have to concentrate to the young generation who are good with using multimedia devices!

Nope bitcoin is not for old people ONLY it is for everyone even a teenager can do bitcoin I think majority of bitcoin users are adults and teenagers (the term old is so overrated ) because even we admit it or not old people don't have so much time in new trends especially when using phones laptop or any devices and most of the old people love to watch and listen to the news so whatever media says they actually believe it, so if media says that bitcoin is scam that  stays up their mind and they are going to hate bitcoin in general.

Start spread awareness to people who not interest with this is compicated.
We need younger people who will more understand bitcoin. How it work, how it can grow and at least how we can use it in the form of currency and investment.

For all parents who have good skills in the field of computer technology would be very easy and interested to learn about bitcoin and how to get it, because bitcoin is for everyone, then anyone can have it including parents.

I think you're right, for the elderly, investing in bitcoin is not good, and you're worried about price volatility, and maybe they're more willing to spend instead of money.

In actual we don't need to spread awareness by ourself own but we need to spread awareness with the help of all those people who knows about the bitcoin and another altcoins very well that how are these profitable .
Here a big factor arise for few people to advertise that other people don't make sure thereself that they can make because here lots of the probability of making high profit and high loss exist , so they don't think to enter in this field to make earnings .
So here we need that big platform where not only a single person struggle but big platforms like social media and another news media comes with us that how much we are safe and have ease to handle bitcoin like things .

Old people does have a huge advantage if they know how to work on bounty campaigns or become a trader because they have a lot of time since they are already retired, cryptocurrency is giving hope to old ones not to stop working when they still can.

For me not, because bitcoin is no age requirement, everyone have a chance to earn money through bitcoin, and have a successful life. But for me, not too much old to do bitcoin, because she/he can't process or think properly, so she/he need help other teen or adult people to do a bitcoin and to earn also.

From our country, the retired and old folks just roam around the house, watching TV, listening to old musics, watching their grandsons/daughters play, the normal routine of an Oldie, but there can really be a possibility of an old people using bitcoin. they can easily adapt to the currency because of their experiences, they just need a tutor at first then they can handle it on their own. The only enemy for them is their age, health and their mental stability.

First, be careful: old people are easily startled and can behave unpredictably

Offer him a warm bowl of Metamucil, and invite him to share stories of how little things cost in the past compared to today

When he is warmed up, that's the time to reveal that there is an anonymous world benefactor with a Japanese pseudonym who is bent on replacing all the worlds gold and cash with virtual digital tokens you must have an Internet capable computer to utilize

Btw keep emergency services and a defibrillator on standby
