In another thread, someone mentioned that he knew of a 17-year-old who started buying bitcoin at 14 cents... That made me wonder how old people are on here? Mostly young people? I'm 33...

Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the
subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The
subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

I'd say that the mix is about 70% young people (17-30) and 30% older people, as I feel that Bitcoin has a tendency to attract younger people with a more open mind and attitude. Conventionally, older people have trouble adapting to new paradigms hence why I'm leaning on a younger average bitcoin population. |

I'm guessing this forum's probably skewing older than something like Reddit, too. |

I'm 29. People here are so damn smart, and such good writers, that I always imagine them to be 30's 40's and 50's. But I'm sure a good percentage is 30 and under.

I'm 25. Wish I had bought a ton back when they were 50 (when I first considered buying). Only reasons I didn't buy was because they were so hard to get (no real place was selling them, and most online places felt like scams).

I'm in the 25-29 age range. First bought BTCs 10 months ago. Should have done that long ago.  |

you should create a poll with age ranges. i'd be interested in learning more about the BTC demographics.. we had another thread with a poll of male to female ratio and it was 9:1, as in every 10 people there are 9 males here.. sample size was over 100 people.
my guess is that it's male, and disproportionate number of people under 30..

23, out of university with my MA; I was heading into a JD program, but I'm taking another year off to see what I can do with the virtual currency industry. 2014 is going to be a hell of a year.
