Am I the oldest member here?

[andreibi]

Jet Cash is a senior citizen? Well, that put things into a new perspective. May I ask from what country are you from? Err, just read the sig. May I ask if Winston Churchill deserves to be revered in this cancel culture climate? I apologize in advance if this is offensive, I have no skin in the game being Asian and in Asia.

To put into perspective, I registered on the forum 7 years ago, and I'm not even close to half of your age. I love that this forum in particular seems to attract people from all kinds of different backgrounds.

Older members should be given respect, just like the Filipino gesture that always gives honor to our elders. It's called "MANO PO!" in our country by pressing one’s forehead on their offered hand. So, can I say, MANO PO, Jet Cash?  

I personally prefer people to adopt the culture that I would describe as common decency; Give everyone respect, unless they've specifically given you a reason not too. Of course, you can have more respect for those with particular ideas, or innovations like the Elon Musks of the world as well as those that are older than you. However, a measurement of how wise or respectable someone should not be associated with age. Of course, JetCash has shown themselves as a respectable user of the forum. Of course, I understand that's your culture, and I respect that, so I'm not trying to change that, or suggest that its wrong in anyway, and I definitely agree that reaching high end ages is particularly respectable, especially if they've kept good values, and all that. It just seems that respect is being lost for fellow humans, unless they have some sort of achievement or accolade to their name, whether that be old, or a oscar winner. When from my eyes, we should be respecting everyone regardless of achievements, and other related things. One of my biggest pet peeves is dismissing someone immediately because they are "young" or they don't have "experience", yet what that person is proposing could be innovative, and somewhat groundbreaking in your field.  Therefore, I like to take the approach of listening to everyone regardless of their age, or experience. Of course, it is some times fascinating to hear people that have vasts amount of experience in a field, but I find it equally as impressive for new ideas, and approaches.

Of course, I made the point about Elon Musk, since he has achieved far greater than the average human, and its only natural to look at these people with some sort of admiration, and respect their views even if they're wrong at times.

Well @Jet Cash, it depends if you count the physical age or spiritual (soul) age. Perhaps some wise guy here is an old soul or a reincarnation of the donkey king.

Anyways, 78 years old and still posting here is extraordinary. I hope it will last until at least 100. #respect

JimboToronto is pretty old, might be 70’s.

I can’t believe you’re 78 Jetty, WTF Kudos for being involved in bitcoin & keeping up with modern tech at your age, fair play.

I’m 34, I feel about 78 sometimes.

[LoyceV]

Last month I has my 78th birthday

That's surprising, I had no idea you're that .... old Well, (slightly late) congratulations!

=

My guess for Loyce was 30-45

I guess LoyceV is younger than 40

According to my profile, I am 683 years old. Now guess the year I was born

[The Sceptical Chymist]

I thought you were only 40-45 years old, in real life, you were already 78 years old.

I knew Jet Cash was far older than 45 but I don't think I ever knew his exact age--props to you, Jet Cash, for staying abreast of crazy tech developments like cryptocurrency.  I know a lot of older folks who still don't know how to use a computer or even have a cell phone.  And you have a level of ambition and drive that I've always admired.  May you have many years to come, my good sir.

But as far as your question goes, I can't say for certain if you're the oldest member here but you've got to be close.  I'd say the vast majority of people registered on bitcointalk are in their 20s-early 30s (and that's just a guess on my part).  I thought Bruno was an outlier, and he was "only" in his 60s if I'm not mistaken.

[Jet Cash]

Well don't forget that I am a Gemini, so if you split my age between both personalities, then I'm only 39.

Churchill was great to pull the country together in the last world war, but was onother who wanted to integrate The US and Britain again. Cecil Rhodes was another. They all worked to expand the modern British empire into an anglophone empire. Now that the EU has serfved its purpose, and is obviously no longer viable, I believe that the Anglophones are going to shove it under the bus, and build the Five Eyes into its replacement.

Wisdom doesn't always come with age. Experience, and how you have learnt from it is more important. Just think how many car drivers are rubbish after 50 years of driving, and they still don't know why cars have gearboxes, or the difference between under steer and over steer.

Biological age is the most important. Chronological age is only useful when you want to claim your pension. I don't know about spiritual age. I started out as a Catholic, had a brief look at Satanism, and then became an agnostic. I guess now I am a cross between Buddhism and Wicca.

683 is a good age - what's the secret in keeping your skin so supple?

[mk4]

A 78 year old that seems to be tech savvy, and at the same time into Bitcoin? Damn dude. You're definitely a rare breed. You should be buddies with Adam Back or something.

Meanwhile people your age are getting scammed by some Nigerian princes and such lmao.

[Sanugarid]

I thought Theymos is 60+ years old yet he is 30 years old this year.

Yeah, I'm shookt when I knew that Theymos is only 29 ( If I'm not mistaken ) I though he is older than that, like around 40s.

I thought Yahoo6728 is also 40 years old yet he was getting married for last few months (Probably he is in between 25-30)

And him, I thought he is the same as Theymos, around 40 and with family.

I thought Jet Cash, is young. Ranging from 30-40 as well but he is already my grand father. Now I understand why he has already a lot of experienced than us who are more young in this forum. This only means that anonymous works in forum.

Then there's Jet Cash whom I thought was only about in 40s too, I didn't really think that we have a member with that age. 78, oh my god, I'm literally shock right now haha my eyes are popping, I never imagine myself at that age looking in front of the computer, what's good is you're not wearing an eyeglasses. just WOW!

BTW, A late birthday Grandpa, I mean Jet Cash.

I hope you enjoyed your birth day, Sir  

[marlboroza]

With modern technology and all these "anti-age-neuro" ICO's, I honestly hope you will live another 78 years.

FFS I always thought you are 20 or something 

[Majharul Saiif]

Last month I has my 78th birthday, is there anyone here who is older than me. I can still remember snatches from the air raids in the second world war, and it is interesting how some things make such an impression on children's minds.

Obviously I have a lot of friends who are over sixty, and not many seem to be able to understand the concept of virtual assets, even when I cite the examples of stories, and fiat currencies.

Wow!! I don't know it is true or not. But I can appreciate it from my side. May be your the oldest guy here according to your age announcement. Btw, Happy Birthday.

[Vod]

Last month I has my 78th birthday,

Wow JC - sick props to you bro.   With all your energy and enthusiasm, projects and posts, I suspected you were sixty years younger.  

[philipma1957laptop]

Hmm my 63 years seem short in comparison.

[btcltcdigger]

I don't wear glasses or contact lenses if that is what you mean. Perhaps I eat carrots, and that is the answer.

Hah if you're really 78, then you're old enough to know when and why that myth was invented

Old age is indeed not a guarantee to be wise. Wisdom can be seen from their behaviour and mindset.
Although the age is still very young, but some people have good wisdom compared to those who are older than him.

at the age of 78 do you already feel that you are being very wise?
I certainly have no doubts about the experience you gained during the 78 years, because you are older than Bitcoin and of all the technologies we discussed in this forum.

I don't wear glasses or contact lenses if that is what you mean. Perhaps I eat carrots, and that is the answer.

Speaking of eating carrots, I will consume them more often now, because at the age of 78 you can still type and discuss on this forum without using contact lenses.
That is something extraordinary, only with carrots consumed every day.

A 78 year old that seems to be tech savvy, and at the same time into Bitcoin? Damn dude. You're definitely a rare breed.

May we also become a rare species such as Jetcash who reaches the age of 78 years with a broad understanding of technology and is able to type in this forum without contact lenses.

Sorry to cut in sir or ma pointing out this error 🙈😂:

Last month I has my 78th birthday,

I think the right sentence is: Last month I had my 78th Birthday .
 All the same happy 78th birthday on bitcointalk forum we are happy to still have you active here long life and prosperity and more worthy tokens to the wallet.

Wow, I'm very proud of you. People of your generation mostly avoid anything new. Where did you get information about bitcoin in the beginning? By the way, I'm a few decades below you. If no one is older than you on this forum then you should get a special badge on your profile. An award for a cool, open-minded grandfather. Anyway, happy birthday and hope you can live longer in prosperity to witness and support the development of bitcoin. Be happy and good luck always.

Being the oldest or not the main point here is thanks to God the creator of heaven and earth for keeping you still to see the 78th birthday of your life. And as well being active on Bitcointalk forum and you also witnessed the covid19 pandemic outbreak that really shout down lots of stuff in the globe. Congratulations

[erikoy]

Age does not matter and it applies too even here in the forum. I was actually amaze how you had been so healthy and doing this technology things while others are thinking of vacation as it should be as they retire already in their work. Claiming benefits and pension then enjoying life while they still live. Most of the foreigners here in our place has settled down. Marrying young partners, building a good house and even still manage to have a kids with their partner. However, you were a little bit different OP. I just wish you to live uour life to the fullest base on what you wanted to be.

[philipma1957]

If you look and study the world along with living in it you see more of the patterns in their entirety.

Thus you get wiser.
As I look back I can remember 1961 first day of kindergarten.

we had a black and white tv 📺
tube radio.
am was big.
fm was not much.
we had a stereo record player

16 ,33 ,45 ,78 rpm speeds.

No calculators.
I used a slide rule while in high school.

Jet Cash predates me by 15 years.
