Am I the oldest member here?

[sandy-is-fine]

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.

You got me by 5.    I used to moderate a forum on Compuserve off my TRS-80 with 4K ram and 1 floppy drive on a Hayes 300 baud Smartmodem.

Holy! I never thought I would see 78 year old person on Internet forum that too Bitcoin related.

Same bro! With my lifestyle, I assume at age 60, I dont think I can still do what JetCash can do on the internet. I highly salute this guy, for doing internet at his age. The kids now at young age already got some reading glass for too much internet, imagine if they reach that age at certain point.

Jetcash is a living proof that age doesnt matter to technological advancement.

Looking forward for more of your intellectual thoughts. I had fun reading most of your topic on serious discussion section.

[Jet Cash]

Thanks for all the kind words, but I'm surprised by the surprise. I gather that current life expectancy should be around 120 at the moment, so I've just hit middle age. Diet, sleep, hydration, and the avoidance of smoking all pharmaceutical and recreational drug, exercise, and hydration are important to a healthy life.sex is important as well ( doing it, not identity ).

I might start a diet thread in serious discussion.

Kudos to you Jet Cash! This proves age is just a number and will power is the biggest power. You are a gem we have in this community and it feels really awesome to have someone with so much life experiences here! You are an asset to our forum and an inspiration to many. Now I'll also start to eat carrots as you mentioned <3

I missed my date of birth merit count. I was born in 1942, and I was going to make a joking post about the Dorian Gray effect of merit increasing making you younger. Oh well. I'll have to think of something else.

I'm becoming more and more interested in diet, and the carrots reference was a bit of a joke.  Well carrots contain lutein and beta carotein, and both are antioxidents that can improve eye health, but there is more to it than that. If you are sitting in front of a screen for long period, don't start at it solidly, but look out of a window frequently, and focus on trees and houses in the distance. Get up and walk around now and then to give yourself a break.

btw the first "computer" I worked on was an IBM 421, and that was a tabulator with a plug board.  You programmed it by plugging wires into the pug boards, and this controlled the sequence of operations, and use of accumulators and print operations. Data was stored on punched cards of course.

My current job requires me to focus on the screen the whole day. Moving aroun except for toilet breaks is going to be a challenge, which is easier at home.

they probably think that them, being old, doesn't need to learn something new. they could probably understand it if they are actually interested in it. I remember my grandma(she was 80 when she started asking me) wanting to learn the latest trend in technology. she would ask me or my sister how things work on a cellphone and what apps are trending or being used by me, my siblings and my cousins. so she could stay in touch with all her grandchildren or at least understand what they are doing or talking about. what I love the most about it is that she can understand the latest slangs and laugh with us.

this is what I usually do. at a young age, my eye already started to blur, what's worse is that my job requires me to be in front of a computer screen most of the time. my eyes starts to hurt if I looked at a computer screen for 5 minutes straight.

I know the fractions I rounded for simplicity.

We had one with 16 2/3   33 1/3  45 and 78 to be precise.

Last month I has my 78th birthday,

Belated happy birthday

is there anyone here who is older than me.

I believe LoyceV can somehow scrape all of the ages shown in profiles ^{[in this forum]} then simply lists them here ^{[at least for those with ages in their profiles, regardless of its accuracy]}.

It's simply because of the fact that you're cool/fun and they're not

I’m 34, I feel about 78 sometimes.

Lately, I'm having a lot of those feelings

The only reason that you can't teach an old dog new tricks is if the dog gives up on learning. Where I have found difficulties is in exploring some of the latest developments. Things that were very advanced when I was at school, have now become part of a basic education. However, many of the basics are no longer taught, and people now assume that things just work without understanding why.

Another thing is that I have become interested in the origins of the so called deep state, and I've tracked it back to the Knights Templar. It's probably a bit easier for me, as I have spent a lot of time in regions where their history has been preserved. Most people today just dismiss this as conspiracy theory with no foundation.

I had a friend who was 75 when he died. We lived in the same house (I rented one of his room) for long years when I was in my late twenties and early thirties. He was alone (wife and son left him when son was young, in the school I guess) and died one year after I left his home. I did not know at the time when he died. We did not talk for long time so one day I thought to call him. I could not reach his phone. I did not have any other number to find easily. Then on my dairy I somehow managed to find his brother's number which we exchanged long ago. I called him to know how he is that he is not picking up phone etc etc.

He then said with sorrow that I have a bad news for you. J__ has died on the last February 7 in the hospital (it was sep/oct when I called). He had a massive heart attack and he could not survive. The next thing I remember that I was crying like a baby feeling that I lost a good friend, a fatherly character to me.

J__ was older than my father. I did not have good relationship with my father but J__ was the guy who always thought me the value of going easy with parents when they go old. It did not work at the beginning but when one guy keep speaking about something with you and gives you all the good talk about relationships between a father and son you then starts thinking about it. Yes, before my father died, I and my father had a beautiful relationship and I think it would not be possible if J__ was not guiding me towards it.

I am sorry that I bought some of my personal emotion here. When read the OP and the post I quoted above , it reminded me the past with J__, he used to talk to me how he got interested with this and that.

I hope Jat Cash to live long and explore more in this earth. My love and well wishes are with you my old friend.

May I treat you a drink? ❤️

And I am 37, I would love to see my grand children 😉

these are tips that I should follow and for young people who always look at computer screens for hours. I don't eat carrots every day, but I really like carrots. with your advice and your experience this will be a reminder to me how important it is to maintain eye health and overall body health. I also looked out the window and saw the farthest object to train my eyes to stay focused and look at the leaves of trees to make eyes fresher.

I hope Grandpa is always healthy and can remain active in this forum.

it is a natural thing, you can devote everything in this post.
How meaningful are the people near us.
After they are gone, we can only remember what was done together.
A very valuable life lesson.

Wow - that was unexpected, thanks. I'm not drinking much alcohol these days, as I do a lot of driving, but a coffee would be nice. In fact when I sort out my new hardware wallet, a small token would be handy to test the shape shift software. You done me a favour just by suggesting it, as I checked the balance on that address via blockchain, and it looks as if I may have a small amount of BCH sitting there as well. I had to  use blockchain, as my node is out of sync because of the lock down.

It's probably not enough to bother about, but it might be a useful test for shape shift conversions. I'll have to move the Bitcoin first though to protect that.

Don't apologise for posting your personal experiences. This is a social thread, and we can all benefit from shared experiences here.

[glowing10]

You just proved that age is just a number and there is no age bar when there is an involvement of crypto currency. We would have young people as well on this forum who may be 15 years or may be below as well but with you age and you still an active member and taken so much keen interest just reminds me that we all have a very long way to go in our personal life as well as in our crypto community. Wish you a belated birthday and hope you stay fit and fine.

I would be happy to buy you a coffee. Good thing that you don't drink much. I and J__ used to drink in the local pubs. Testing the foods in different pubs with a beer was our hobby. We used to eat in the Indian restaurants too in the week ends. Those were some good memories to remember. I and J__ went for some mountain climbing too few times.

Once you have a BTC address from the new soft, please PM me the address. Have fun and stay safe brother. Enjoy your time around.

Can grandfather @JetCash, send me PM, the official address of the government of the country where grandfather lives.

I will send to grandfather, some of my country's treasury coffee powder, that smells good.
Maybe grandfather, will like the original coffee from my country.

No problem, just consider it a shipment from grandfather's grandson, if grandfather doesn't mind, it might take 3-5 days to get to the destination.
Let grandfather try the aroma of coffee, which is where I live.

[pugman]

I am shooketh, I had zero idea that you're seventy-fucking-eight years old. happy belated bday bitcointalk's grandpa.

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

Is this you partying with your personalities at 4 AM?

[Jet Cash]

The other two look a bit too young for me.

btw. I'm not a grandfather, as I don't have any children. I might have some when I am a bit more mature, but at the moment I'm just practising the creation process.

I could, but it seems excessive to scape 2.8 million profiles just to find out who's the oldest.

I checked the balance on that address via blockchain, and it looks as if I may have a small amount of BCH sitting there as well. I had to  use blockchain, as my node is out of sync because of the lock down.

It's probably not enough to bother about, but it might be a useful test for shape shift conversions. I'll have to move the Bitcoin first though to protect that.

You'll find an equal amount of BSV on the addy too, which might move too if you move the BCH (due to the lack of replay protection). I've sent you some BCH dust, so that (after moving your Bitcoin to safety) you can send all BCH from that address without moving the BSV.
I doubt it's enough for Shapeshift, but it is enough to convert to Bitcoin Lightning on CoinPlaza.it.
