Bitcoin User Poll #1 - Age - how young are you?

[HabBear]

Bitcoin User Poll Project

I'm developing a series of polls to identify some demographics about the bitcoin community, using the forum participants as a sample group for the larger bitcoin community. Please help me by completing the polls as they are posted. Feel free to share comments or debate the results as well.

The polls will cover the following topics - age, location, monthly income, bitcoin balance, etc.

These polls taken together can provide us a good picture of what the community looks like. I'll be happy to post all aggregated results here so everyone can benefit from the data.

Please spread the word to other users so we can great a response as possible!

Thanks!

37 here hehe, I wish I learned about bitcoin earlier. I wish I got a thousand of it while it was a few cents before.

I think this is the same regret of every bitcoiner here

Yeah, right!?

Hindsight is tough to reconcile. But as I remember it, back when BTC was trading at $10 or $100 it seemed so much more difficult to acquire (outside of mining). Back then you had to wire money to a random site to be able to get it over to Mt Gox or the Blockchain. Of course now the effort seems totally worth it but back then it seemed pointless.

Am 36 and from Africa. I hear about bitcoin for the past three years and since then, try to fashion out how to get it, for in my heart I believe since the day I had about it that is going to be a precious something in future, but my limitations then, was were to buy it without bank transfer, knowledge on were to store it and who will buy them from me if I want to sells it. I was able to make millions of satochi today rendering services online and I am very ok by it. From the part of the world I come from, you cannot get payment from services you rendered online through PayPal and that render my efforts uselessness, but  i can appreciate my efforts now getting payment for my services through bitcoin.

29 here. First started collecting Bitcoins almost 3 years back... but took it seriously only since 2015. Too bad that I wasn't aware of Bitcoins in 2011 or 2012. I could have purchased them for $10 per coin.

Im 32 years old and I am running 33 this year. What I like about your title is how young are we and not how old, that makes us feel more younger. I have started bitcoin seriously when I was 31 years old and at that time I am focused on collecting bitcoins in the faucets. I was not contented and so I have done many research until finally when I reach 32 years old I am earning hundreds of dollars from online jobs in the form of bitcoin,

Great responses and comments thus far. I've noticed that 16 people have answered this poll - are you all aware of the other polls we have running (each of which has fewer than 16 responses).

You can find them here:

The polls can be found in the Economics section, links below:

About 20 or so respondents thus far, and most appear to be in their 30s. Good response but we can do better! And I KNOW there are younger and older folks cruising this forum.

Please fill this out along with the other 3 polls we have going - for location, income, and wealth.

Once you've done that, help us find more responses by:

• Finding two forum friends to complete this poll
• Posting about this poll in other forum boards (i.e., bitcoin forum, politics & society, projects, technical, beginners, local, etc)

We need your help!

I am in between 20 to 21 not over 21 yet.
Why don't you include all polls in single thread? I mean isn't this possible, it will be better not to flood board with polls.

[HabBear]

Yeah, that would be more efficient, wouldn't it? Unfortunately we can only make one poll per thread in this forum.

I'd prefer to have everything in one thread, I'd be guaranteed better response across all polls. But the limitations of the forum are what I'm working with! If you don't appreciate the poll, thanks for the feedback.

But let's both acknowledge that the clutter is from signature campaign participants posting bullshit, repetitive comments to a thread that's been open for 6 months. There's zero need for there to be 20+ pages of posts, 100+ posts for most of these topics. Shit, there's an active thread called "Savings actually works", what the f***!?

I challenge you and others to post something new. Something the rest of us can actually discuss. That's what I'm trying to do with these polls.

Are you developing any new project which is based on bitcoin ecosystem. Because business people usually do come here and conduct polls to study about the spread of bitcoin among different countries and different age people.

I appreciate your efforts to identify the different characteristics of bitcoin users. I'm requesting you to publish them once you are having sufficient data. Because that may be helping many other businesses to plan accordingly.

30 here. I wish I learn bitcoin when I was 20 younger then. When bitcoin price is too cheap and hold some bitcoin until now. Maybe I was rich and earn well here in bitcoin world. Too sad I was late knowing bitcoin.

[HabBear]

Take comfort in knowing that you share that thought of "what if I knew earlier" with a lot of people...many, many people.

Investment Folks say there are a few times in ones life when opportunities become available to take advantage of huge future market growth. The challenge is being aware of the opportunity and seeing it as a genuine opportunity. Bitcoin was one of those few in a lifetime. Fortunately for you at 30 years old, there's bound to be another one or two with similar scale (upside potential). Just keep reading and listening and looking for that next opportunity!

i'm at 30 - 39 and more precisely at 31 and i was earning bitcoin since 2014 however this poll might be will dominated at the range i was mentioned

[nemgun]

it is really strenge that 45% of the voters are 30-39, i expected it to be 22-39. Maybe the poll is generally related to the forum sections, have you tried to create a poll in the altcoin section ? maybe the ages are lower there, and it shall be higher in market section, or services.
can't you create a google poll ? and they you would just post it on the forum in every section, maybe you will have better datas.

[Taki]

I am 27 yeas old and as I see such age is the most popular. I am in bitcoin world from last May and I still regret that I didn't join ton bitcoin earlier.

I don't think that we need to differentiate between bitcoin and altcoin users all that much. We don't have serious and legit source to measure bitcoin demographic.
Doing research on altcoins - which are even more fragmented and divided form of crypto will be near impossible - you will have to research every coin separately.
