Title: How Old Are Most Bitcoin Supporters?
Post by: gigabytecoin on March 12, 2011, 09:49:39 AM
Ok guys, what is it?

How old are you?

The poll is 100% private, nobody will ever know who voted for what.

The poll will be run for the next 3 days, and you can only see the results once those 3 days are up.

Sorry for digging up this old vote, but I wonder if the demographic has changed much these days.

Would it be OK to post a similar poll? Im curious, young people tend to be more optimistic in my view (I'm middle aged) and I wonder if there are now more people my age getting involved with crypto currency.

I am 29 and I think most dupporters are 25-35 as we can indeed see at poll stats.

Became one when I was 28. My cousin became a Bitcoiner when he was 24.

taking my reiterations via reincarnation, I would say that I'm a little over 1337 years old give or take a few decades due to changes in the adoption of calendars

Sadly many of the younger ones cannot be trusted:

Hopefully over time we can attract honest young people?

I am a little older than the average Bitcoin user.  I am also female.  What percentage of users does that put me in?  0.001?  ;)

Will bitcoin ever go mainstream with people currently over ~55?
Answer:
It would have to get extremely popular (like Facebook)
Long-term: The current group of young people will teach the next generation.

I hope when I am 67 I am not so "Set in my ways" and I am willing to explore new thoughts and ideas, so bravo to you!  So many people get to a point in their lives where they seem to be stuck it seems and not want to learn anything.

55, sold all my PMs last year and switched to bitcoins.

I use to own & program an Elf computer with 256 bytes of ram in my younger days. You would use 8 switches for the address bus and 8 more for the data, another switch to toggle the ram write line. Do this for each byte of your program. You had to think in binary. Another switch to start running things. My display was a pair of 8 segment LEDs.

I think it preceded the zx spectrum (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZX_Spectrum) all before Google search.
