At what age did you start learning about bitcoin?

[Anonylz]

It seems op trying to figure out forum members age by asking this question ........ kidding  

Well i get to know about btc almost the same age as you, at that time i didn't take it serious until after about 2 years or so. I kept seeing some ads with btc online back then because i surf the internet a lot, i decided to click on one of such ads and it took me to a platform.. an investment platform I think, and that was how i continue digging, searching for more info, getting scammed along the way.
since i had zero knowledge about btc then my age did not play any important role to be honest because i had no idea what i was getting involved in.
Of course we all which we had started earlier, in fact i always regret not getting involved immediately i came across btc instead of wasting 2 years before paying attention.
Well It was a great experience looking back.

At first, I was even skeptical to know about Bitcoin. But that's destiny, the uniqueness it offers makes me curious to the point of trying to break into what Bitcoin is, and so far bitcoin has contributed greatly to supporting my needs for almost 10 years. Before getting to know Bitcoin, to be honest my economy wasn't doing well. After years of studying, and discussing with friends who understand more, finally realized there is a lot of potential for Bitcoin in the future. It pushed me to fully understand the concept and purpose, and benefits of Bitcoin.

I think I learned bitcoin during my teenage years. Me and my family was actually struggling financially during that time, and I am finding a way to somehow finance my studies and future expenses. And then I found out bitcoin with a help of a friend. I'm very thankful to that person because he is my mentor. He taught me everything I need to know to start here and how amazing this technology was.

And I believe most of us wish we started at an earlier age, or discovered bitcoin when the value was still cheaper. But seems like that's not the kind of fate given to us. But that's okay, we are all here, and we are never late. And no one is old for a technology like this. Remember, age is just a number.

I'm not 100% sure but the first time I heard about bitcoin probably I was 22-24, something like that, I remember it was mentioned on some website I used to read for tech news, but I never actually went deeper at that time, unfortunately. It would take me some other years before actually deciding to properly check what bitcoin was.

1. At what age did you start learning about bitcoin?

I started learning about BTC only when the time I joined in this forum last 2017, maybe I was around 19-20 years old? Fortunately, my close friend introduced me this forum which definitely widen my knowledge about cryptocurrencies.

2. What role did age and prior experience play in helping you learn about bitcoin and cryptocurrency?

Age definitely played a major factor into HODLing my coins. As a young college student with little-to-no funds at all for my daily expenses, most of my proceeds from campaign signatures were quickly converted to cash in order to either purchase books or any relevant stuff. While I do not regret such decision, it made me look back and ask such question that if I just saved my coins for now, I would have earned and realized +++ money in the process.

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

Yes definitely! With all the knowledge that I have about cryptocurrencies, I wish I discovered this website upon its existence. With that knowledge that I have, I could have at least raise my family out of this below income median household and give my father the life he deserves.

I have noticed an increasing entry of older people into crypto. For me, having a curious mind, anyone can understand anything. Perhaps it really is a time when older people are looking for alternatives to retirement. It's hard for them to work and find new sources of income, so crypto becomes an interesting option.

I'm currently 27 and I started learning about bitcoin 5 or 4 years ago. So I would say I started learning about bitcoin and cryptocurrencies when I was 22. However, it seems like you tried to understand the real age of people(jk). Regardless of that when I was 22 I remember I was younger and for a curious teenager it was very interesting to know about new technology and especially if this technology is going to help people to have borderless transactions. I got the first notes about bitcoin and cryptocurrencies as my birthday gift plus a few bitcoins I received that day, so I started learning about it from the internet and some friends.

I can't really remember the year I first heard about bitcon, but i went fully into bitcoin around 2020 during the Covid 19 lockdown. I was hearing about bitcon before the pandemic but I don't really know what it was all about and I don't have anybody to teach me about it, during the early stage of the pandemic which I was always at home then I started doing more research about bitcoin and I started learning different things from videos on YouTube and books online, when I started trading bitcoin I wasted lots of money because I don't have anybody to put me true I have to learn it myself but now am not a novice in crypto space.

1. It was in 2017, I was already above 25 years old.

2. I've graduated from college, so I got no difficulties learning Bitcoin or crypto. I've been mature enough at the age of 25, the digital investment isn't really something new for me. I imagine if I learn Bitcoin or crypto at the age of less than 18, I think I'll be not interested to know it deeply.

3. I think it is not an earlier age. I know Bitcoin and crypto at the right age. So, nothing wrong with my age, everything is okay.

Technically, we all want to be that early since we've first learned about bitcoin. We have thought of how about getting too early on it and buying hundreds and thousands of them.
Then, right now, we're all that rich and don't have to work from 9-5 jobs and we're free to do anything that we want since we're early investors. Those who have bought a lot and sold at the top are living their lives now at the best and can do anything that they want and invest somewhere again if they want to.

The thing is that you can start for early stage and old stage to learn bitcoin, i don't know bitcoin through my 40 years of age but today i have bitcoin and i have other things too that im work for, is not age that matters in the development of bitcoin and working with Bitcoin and is not for young youths is for every body, if you have the mind you can invest for bitcoins it does not matter the age it is of interest and development

[taufik123]

-snip-

any age is not that important, but how can you learn it well and can develop from what you have learned in bitcoin. Investing in bitcoin and several other altcoins of course requires basic knowledge of how to make a good investment and do some research before entering.

I started about cryptocurrency and bitcoin since I was 20 years old and until I was 27 years old I continued to study and be active in forums and bitcoin trading. Cryptocurrency knowledge is very broad and can be learned by anyone.
Early learning is also good for young people today.
But remember, it must always be emphasized that the risk will continue to exist.

I believe that there is nothing much about the ages because it is depend on how we are being introduce or at least lured , I come to know Bitcoin at the age of late 30s and for me? this is enough years of my days to understand and risk my money and time.

Now I see nothing that i will care about because all i experienced is success though i sometime mistaken in Gambling area.

[Bitcoins101]

First heard about it when I was 16. Can't believe how long I have been dedicating my time to Bitcoin.

[Ahli38]

studied normally at the age of 25. but studied it seriously at the age of 27. I am now starting to introduce it to my family. and my family has been open about this bitcoin insight. and some have started to collect bitcoins as a future investment.

and yesterday's moment on bitcoin pizza day. I made it an opportunity to pass bitcoin education to my family while enjoying a small party with snacks such as pizza. non-serious warm chats make education run smoothly and easily accepted. My brother who is 15 years old has even started to be interested in bitcoin. My mission after family is neighbors.

and even my family is interested in this bitcointalk forum. out of nowhere he knows this forum. because he asked first about this forum. maybe my family on this one searched for information about bitcoin on google and came across this forum.

I started reading books about bitcoin at the of 26 , that was 3 years ago when I was still in the university. When I started learning bitcoin I didn't invest so fast, after my 8 month of learning I bought my first bitcoin and it went very well for me because I spent time to know more about it.

[nurilham]

In what year do you hear about Bitcoin and are involved in its investment? In 2013? I guess you already dedicated your time for more than 5 years.
Anyway, you were lucky that you know it since you were 16 years old, which means you know it quite early. You have the chance to buy Bitcoin with a very cheap price.

You were very careful, you just bought Bitcoin after learning it for several years. I think it is what every newbie or beginner must do, don't be too hurry to buy Bitcoin. If you learned for 8 months, you actually have enough knowledge about the nature of Bitcoin price and know well how the crypto market works. We need sufficient knowledge first before trying to invest or trade Bitcoin.

Known this market for 7 years already and yet I have no savings of bitcoin.  The earnings that I got either from trading or campaigns, I used it to pay my bills and buy other expenses.  So even if I have no crypto savings, I am not too hard with myself because I know, I used it to important things and not just because I am wasting it. Lucky for those who can hold their bitcoin for years and still keeping it.

I started hearing about bitcoin in 2018, as it was something that really stood out for me. It was fascinating to me to know that someone could use the internet and use technology and get out of poverty. I was still in college at the time. I wanted to learn more and try and understand the technology behind it. I was studying computer science.

[Prince Malik]

I heard about bitcoin first time at 2017 from my friends and i start using this forum since October 2017, first time i used crypto was in the same year but i really feel unlucky because i didn't heard about it early when everything was cheap and getting 1 bitcoin was a very easy task
