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

[HabBear]

Agreed.

The biggest challenge we have with getting a lot of responses is that there isn't one central location for all forum members to see the polls. I need to rely on you all to help spread the word.

To Nemgun, If you frequent the alt boards, can you make post announcing that these polls exist which includes links so people can find them? I can provide a sample message if you want. I've done this in the general Bitcoin Forum board, and could probably do so in a few others that I frequent. However I don't want to be posting the same announcement across 15 boards at the same time, it'll surely be seen as spam...even if the intent to announce is genuine.

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.

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.

I don't think so, actually you can use the altcoin discussion board, just keep it on top and a lot of people will participate, or, you can ask for a moderator to make sticky in some boards, so everyone can check it, this is why i proposed to use the google poll.

You can ask for the moderator's help, it is easy for them to make a sticky poll on each board, or, as it is a phpbb forum, they should have the possibility to create a global thread who will automatically be displayed in every board on the forum, like the forum rules for example.

I am 23years old, and vote done. But here most of the people are about 30-39!! Really its heart me!! what about young generation? Are they not interested in earning bitcoin? Hope new generation will come and the poll will be flooded vote of 22-29 years. I am using bitcoin about 2 years ago, and like to earn bitcoin mostly.

young generation will going to involve with bitcoin, its only a matter of time. so we know that in 22-39 year old is the most people which is know and using bitcoin and its about 17% although i am sure that later, people will know bitcoin.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm not asking the moderators to "sticky" these polls to the top of forum threads. That would be an abuse of the space. I'm not affiliated with the Forum, just a member here. If you want to help, spread the word...make posts in other boards with links to these polls.

I would like to Vote for 16-21 Done,Here,I am only 19 years old from Asia.
About 4 years back my journey was started in bitcoin industry but last year 2016 it was a serious year for me learning many more about bitcoin and still my learning about bitcoin are continuing.My great thanks goes to this forum where learn more about bitcoin.

[diegz]

I voted at 22 - 29, I am at that age bracket. I saw the votes, it seems like many of the bitcoin users are at the age 30 -39. That means mostly are already a professional and most probably been working on day job already.

[sabbirshm]

I am now 18 only and feeling lucky to know bitcoin early.I was introduced to bitcoin 3 year's ago but I didn't care about bitcoin heavily.I start using bitcoin last year and I know about bitcoin a lot.Since i am a student now so I don't spend much time with bitcoin.But in future I will make some bitcoin project and development and contribute myself to the progress of bitcoin.

[J Gambler]

It says on the survey there are more people around 30-39 age are using bitcoin than kids who using bitcoin i though that there are many kids who using bitcoin nowadays im the the range of 21 years old im feeling lucky that i still earning bitcoin since i start using it.

Your age bracket is 25% of the Poll so far and is not bad, alot of factors can affect this poll, people of your age bracket will still be in school and that can skew the poll in favour of older generation

[PhucS]

i am 25 years old I'm from Southeast Asia. I know Bitcoin in early 2015 and I realized its true value. If only I know about it sooner  
I am very eager to get acquainted with people, I look forward to people to help and work together to develop

[noictib]

I am in the bitcoin when I was at the age of 17 years old . But now I became at age of 23 years and still working perfectly in the bitcoin world to make my pocket money with living .
Here I saw the poll result , during submitting my poll , I found here the people of age 30 and above are more than of age which belongs to me . I think in the future of incoming 4-5 years the people will more increase in the bitcoin world at the age of 20-25 because of its efficiency of return of investment .

When man!! I think its the best time for learning about bitcoin besides our studies. We can manage our pocket money by joining bitcoin industry.But this poll result are very impressive. Hope young generation wii see the poll and we will be the winner of this thread.
I al also sure with you,today or later people will know about bitcoin and they would interested about earning bitcoin.

[neochiny]

I know that we've got some older users here, but I thought most users would be at the 22 - 29 age bracket.   

Voted for 22-29.
Anyway, you could just make a similar thread in the altcoin discussion section. 'Altcoin User Poll - Age - how young are you?)
then include the links for all the other polls you have.

[buwaytress]

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.

Hi there, I am 37 and from Southeast Asia. Am actually very surprised to see that I'm in the mean age group. Perhaps it is only because people of our age are taking the trouble to participate in the poll, haha.

Quoting the above only because I faced similar problems with doing work online and getting paid for it. Back in the mid 90s for me, I still received cheques from US to Malaysia and had no problems cashing them. And then after Sep 11, things got tougher. Paypal was still too restrictive and expensive - there was e-gold.

E-gold was taken down by US, people like me lost all our deposits. So when bitcoin came on the scene, a lot of us stayed away, fearing another takedown. If only I'd understood it better then and not let my phobia of digital currency get in the way of things.

The same as you, 18, from Asia, or a student, last year, the students recommended bitcoin, is currently in a state of study.

[morgand]

But now i have almost 0.1 btc from signature and do some job from people in this forum offer, and from investing in some site, and gambling a bit

Then i will do my best to spread the word, by the way, i see that a lot of people are interested in this poll, have you done other polls ?
And, how about my idea about transfering them to a google poll form ? i know about other websites offering this kind of service for free, you can create polls and share the link, people can also see the results, after this, you can make a self update image showing the results in the thread, it may be easier to share.

[SMSabuj]

I am 22 years old. Most of the Bitcoin user are 22-29 and 30-39 years old. Most of the young person use Bitcointalk for their pocket money. I highly appreciate your survey. Thank to your survey and Best of luck.

[Aqualung89]

We can often say it is good to see adult people in the Forum. I used it between 22-29 years ago and I am 27 years old.Let's look at the bitcoin for about 1 year. Let's see what time it is to be under this roof for many years.
