Part of my grandparents know about Bitcoin too. It took a while and many questions for them to understand how it exactly works, but now they know what Bitcoin is and that's awesome. However, it's bad that they do not trust it Sad you know, the elders usually like real things, the ones that you can touch and hold in your hand, not numbers on a screen.

They are based on their past experience and they aren't alone who don't trust bitcoin, they don't trust online/digital things too.
Because bitcoin is not something that can be touched elders don't trust them as much as we do.

So how old is the "older generation"? I'm 74, and I've just hit middle age, when do I join this older generation? Smiley
My father is over 80 and I've given up on trying to teach him how to operate Windows. Bitcoin is completely beyond his cognitive abilities.
Glad to see there are mentally young old timers with us, keep it up mate!

maybe its the ages is over than 70 years, we need to teach with slowly as they can't understand if we teach with fast, i think their action become to slow to get the information that come to them but its not for all old people, sometimes the old people can understand with fast too. but its good for grandma that she can understand about bitcoin.

Old people are least interested in bitcoins and other emerging technologies.They do not have much interest in the upcoming technologies and also they do not have the mindset to absorb such innovations.
They are happy to stick with their old ideas and that perhaps best for them.

Apart from the technical aspects, there are also the practical aspects. No point in investing in Bitcoins if you wont be able to hold it long enough for it to appreciate. After retirement, it is best if your investment portfolio is full of government securities (risk-free)
