At what age did you start learning about bitcoin?

[topman21]

I started working on Bitcoin when I was an adult.  My friend and I started working on Bitcoin.  We two friends first opened an account in the Bitcoin forum and then slowly started working.  From there we have got a lot and learned a lot so far.  Now I see that many young boys and girls have started working in the Bitcoin forum.  It is not right to work without studying at this young age.  I think you should work on Bitcoin if you are an adult.

what definition of adult do you mean? Is it mature in age, or is it mature in thought?
if you mean mature in thought then it is very justified and I totally agree with you. because even though he is mature in age but if his nature and character is still like a child (childish) then surely they will not last long in bitcoin. because entering the world of bitcoin requires mature thinking who knows the risks and can measure them logically. while people who are not mature in thought, they tend to give up quickly and carelessly because sometimes they enter without knowing the risks they are taking.

3. With your current knowledge about bitcoin and cryptocurrency, do wish you started at an earlier age?

Of course this is highly desired by almost everyone who is familiar with bitcoin/crypto, because the earlier you know it, the more benefits you will get, but being able to get to know bitcoin or the crypto world is enough for me even though it's earlier or new than not knowing it at all .
If there are olders who can still understand or be interested in crypto I think it only happens in developed countries because crypto is related to technology and the internet and these two parts is more accessible in developed countries not in third world country.

I first got to know bitcoin in March 2017 and I am about 32 years old, and I was introduced by some of my close friends who have been in bitcoin for a long time including in this forum. I actually regretted it when they told me in 2013 and I ignored it because I didn't understand and thought it was weird.
and over time I saw changes in some of my friends who have been in bitcoin for a long time, especially financial changes, and that's what made me finally volunteered to get involved with bitcoin and they told me in detail and told me to go to this forum until now. And I really enjoy great benefits that I could not imagine before and this is freedom because I control everything myself.

I am very grateful to some of my friends, because of them I can make everyone I love happy because I can help them and change my life.

I was first introduced to Bitcoin actually by a friend and I believe that was back around 2015-16 I guess but I didn't really take seriousness to it or maybe because he too didn't really educate me on investing in it other than we can buy it to pay for a service we wanted to do at that time but a couple of years down the line, my sister was the one that made me start investing properly in Bitcoin and am still here now.

Shower thought on a person's age, learning Bitcoin, and accepting Bitcoin. Because most of the "older people", especially in government, reject it, then I usually ask myself, "how much longer must Bitcoin run to accepted by the no-coiners"?

I believe I was asking the wrong question. There is NO "solution", other than let the older generation die and be replaced by a younger generation more willing to accept Bitcoin, OR who might already be HODLing Bitcoin.

Yes, but there is a problem with your "plan". By the time it happens, we willl be the "older" generation, and, I don't know about you, but I don't want to wait that long. No, I still think that a better solution is to bring Bitcoin closer to the older generation, allowing those to learn about and get into it in a way that won't scare them away, and, giving them some fun things to learn about along the way.

I love the idea that the "Bitcoin generation" can grow up and become a large part of the market, but I also think that there is value in being introduced to Bitcoin at any age. We all know about "old school" currencies, but there is a new, shiny form of money coming into the world now, and we don't want the "older" generation to be frightened off by it or feel like it's not something that they can understand.

It's not that uncommon for older generations to not embrace technology, thus, it's understandable that a decent chunk of them won't accept something that is beyond their cognitive boundaries. The adoption will be a tedious procedure which won't occur day by day, it will take years to develop. Let me also point out that a decent amount of people over 40 or 50 years old aren't even capable of using online banking services, or practically anything that has transformed into the digital world.

You're right, there isn't a one way solution to this issue, but only to wait it out.

The younger generation is more adaptable to a rapidly changing world, before the speed of life was different. Now updates are constantly coming, new models of gadgets are coming out and a person must adapt to innovations very quickly. Older people cannot reorganize in a new way, it is difficult for them. In a few decades, the older generation will be very advanced and I hope they will be able to adapt just as easily to all the innovations that will appear.

I've known about this market since I was about 15 or 16 years old, but I honestly don't understand anything and don't have enough time to research it on the internet. It wasn't until I was about 20 years old when I started college and researched into areas in MMOs that I discovered them, and indeed I was intrigued by what I saw. The matter of having access to them or not having access to them is also a big gap for us. Sometimes our age or life brings us closer or further away from it. I'm not sure old people can sit back and listen to it. But in my family or even the relatives that I meet in society, they don't understand more about it than I do, even though I know for sure that I am just a grain of sand in the desert of knowledge in the market. I find that people who can connect with each other with the same ideal or thought also need a lot of learning and luck.

This is what I think everyone wants, perhaps a lot of people regretted knowing bitcoin too late or ignoring it before. It's not too late because today's bitcoin and cryptocurrencies like the internet in the 1990s are both very new and just getting started.

Instead of regretting it, let's keep earning bitcoin and focus more on it, teaching our children enough knowledge about bitcoin so they don't have to regret it like we do. Today, it is not too difficult to teach children to get used to everything, especially those related to computer phones, they will learn very quickly.

If Jet Cash at 80 can embrace bitcoin then there is no excuse what so ever for younger ones to still live in doubt and disbelieve. I first heard of bitcoin in 2017, then embraced it in 2020, began my first class on Defi towards the end of 2020 although my class is still and the crypto industry is an everyday learning experience.

[sklopan]

Given the realities of today's world, the most correct option is to start training as early as possible. I think this will be the most correct option for success in the future.

I'm not talking it about from my perspective, I'm talking about it from Bitcoin's perspective. For me personally, OF COURSE I want to see full acceptance/understanding today, but it's impossible. Bitcoin has to outlive a generation or probably two before it can have more favorable conditions socially and politically.

The generation after 1990-2000 was born during the most major technological advances. Personally, I knew how to use a computer from an extremely young age, and was exposed to the internet (dial up connections) since elementary school. To be honest, it's totally understandable that we're more understanding and capable of adapting to new technologies that constantly emerge.

Jet Cash who is 80 years old according to other posters, could be an exception of a highly intelligent individual. It's only reasonable to say that the majority of other 80 year olds aren't capable of that, not necessarily because of their intelligence levels but due to the way and they were raised.

I got in 2016, and I have been here ever since, became a 30+ year old person ever since I learned about it and built a whole family after learning about it. The best part about it is that I got to provide my family a good income thanks to it and that is a great thing because every man wants to provide as much as possible for their family, there is nothing wrong with that.

However, it is also not so great that I ended up not getting anything in return from life, because as we all know, a man provides for his family, but rarely gets to do anything crazy for themselves because every dollar you spend on yourself could have gone for your family, hence why we hesitate to spend on ourselves. So all of this profit and income worked out great for my family, but I have been living exactly the same life .

For most of us, we got to know about bitcoin in our 30s + age. The reason is that bitcoin is still very new and most people still have not heard about it. I also came to know about bitcoin in 2016/17 but at that time I was not much interested in it. I never thought that this bitcoin will become so much popular one day. I wished I would have bought some bitcoin in 2016 when it was under a 1000$.

[YOSHIE]

Knowing Bitcoin in 2017, when it was more or less 65 years old, at first I didn't believe in the name Crypto I thought, something impossible, my friend gave a real example for me, then I learned, it turns out that Bitcoin is really real, I mean real money.

I learned about how the Bitcoin system works and I did direct research and until now, it turns out that Bitcoin is not a bedtime story, for that I have known Bitcoin for about 6 years, I may be unlucky because I know Bitcoin is over 65 years old, not as lucky as those who are 20-30 years old, they will have a lot of time to know more about Bitcoin.

[hyudien]

Maybe I don't remember the first time I got to know Bitcoin exactly. It makes for a lot of barely recorded trips. The reason is, when someone starts to feel something, they will focus on the things that are in front of them. Bitcoin made me almost forget everything, even Bitcoin made me take the decision to quit my regular job.

Just wanted to ask a little, do you feel that after getting to know Bitcoin with all its benefits, you will indirectly appreciate how important financial freedom is?

That's how I feel, and until now the feeling of financial freedom has really become a disciplinary rule in my daily life.

[amihada]

I have known bitcoin for a long time and I tried to explain bitcoin to my relatives how the advantages of bitcoin investment are but my relatives think I am boasting after I proved to my relatives the advantages of bitcoin investment then my relatives regret not following what I explained and now my relatives are trying to learn bitcoin investment .
