Age of bitcoiners

[suzanne5223]

I think most Bitcoin investors are older folks and younger investors are into things like NFTs and smart contract chains like FTM and ICP.

It depends on the individual want because are some older folks who are also into NFTs but I have a reason to believe the graph was showing the real information about the age of Bitcoiners because most of the crypto investors are between the age of 15 to the 50s.
Mind you, most Bitcoin early miners are within the again of 20 to 40 when it all started. An example is Laszlo Hanyecz.

I think a lot of the Generation Z (Aged 10 to 25) are still too young to really grasp the concept of having money that are not controlled by any government. (Honestly, I do not know if they really care about that... )  

I beg to differ I have personally met people of the gen Z which been involved in crypto in a way or another, both online and face-to-face, being myself part of the gen Z.  

Perhaps it has to do with the fact that in my country we are learning to embrace payment methods that are not dependant on our banks, we have developed some distrust towards our government with the years.

next year I will also be in the 30-35 area and that age is the age where everyone starts working seriously, working for their family so it's not surprising that at that age many bitcoiners are active.
Currently the younger generation is still starting to learn cryptocurrencies and has not really entered this forum. They are still engrossed in their own world and do not think that financial knowledge is very important. Those who join this forum at the age of 18-22 are those who are aware of how important crypto knowledge is. and for the age of 55 and over you are extraordinary, you still have the enthusiasm to continue to be in this forum and equip yourself with extensive knowledge.

A forum poll might not be accurate enough to reveal the reality, because many people don't answer them and a higher percentage of crypto adopters should participate in order to collect enough data to reach a conclusion.
Despite this, it's well known most crypto enthusiasts are from millennials' generation (1981 – 1996 birth date). Youngest generation isn't too interested in investing money, it seems. At least for now.



DIGITAL 2022: BIG RISE IN CRYPTOCURRENCY OWNERSHIP

I wouldn't say "not too interested" but more like they do not have the money for it. Consider it this way, the older you get, the more money you get because of career being better salary plus whatever you family has will be passed on to you. Hence why youngest generation would not have it, they neither worked enough to earn a good salary, and usually their parents and even maybe grandparents are still alive.

But, people who are 40 or there about, may have higher salary, plus a good chunk of them may have lost their parents and inherited some stuff as well. This is why people who are 30-40 range could have a lot of interest in investment, and people who are 25 or under may be just looking to survive.

this speculation is not really right. Because i know quite well that their is no age bracket between the time you invest cryptocurrency that is specific. Both young youths and old adults go into cryptocurrency investment anytime they feel like going, some people go in age of thirty years and some people also to the age of twenty years, so i can't say this is specific time of time.

Wow, little bit surprised that 30-45 years old are the most ages here in this voting, although it may be still many more members here. and I am part of that age 

I don't have any statistical data report but based on my assumption usually ages 18 to 35 are people who have open-minded when it comes to crypto.
Based on this article, half of the young men in the US it seems showing more interest on cryptocurrencies like trading and investing which is calculated almost half of the population, it's 43%.

This statistic may be different in each country. I am not sure this is also the same in my country. commonly, those under 20 years old will still not focus on investing. they will only focus on earning money and cashing out it to fulfill their own needs, not even care about the investment or savings.

A young boy of early 20s will be interesting and ready to invest in anything or any opportunity given him because he has no much need for money, except for up keep and some unnecessary luxuries.
Then between 25-30 will be willing to invest the more to become a millionaire while planning to marry to trying to prosper with his family.
From 30 -35 is very much willing to invest, but this time around only to invest in something that is not looking like a scam. Probably he is tired of successive scams. They struggle to establish and still remember to invest.
35 - 40 are die hard investors and they believe bitcoin so much because they have tested many and trusted bitcoin.

40 above upto 80 are probably investing for their children  and they are so cool about it because they are investing at their pace. $20  - $50 weekly investment plan is ok for this set.
But bitcoiners are young people. Bitcoin is money for the young, the old don't have much time for all the technicalities.

This poll actually made me happy- it is refreshing to see that majority of 'bitcoiners' are in the age group of 20-26, which makes the exposure of BTC high compared to when it first released and been operational for the first 5 years.

Though this may be the case, I hope that more people would be able to discover the existence of cryptocurrencies which may spark their curiosity in the process. The more people that utilizes cryptocurrencies in their payment, the more that the government would support it being implemented in their finance and economy.

I would say maximum number of Bitcoiners on this forum are from 2013-2015. So, Age of Bitcoiners above 30 is going to be the maximum (atleast in this part of the forum) as most of the young ones are still wandering in Altcoins section. People do stupid stuff in young age and be more gentle as they mature, Bitcoin is that maturity which they will get after some years.

I agree that Gen Z is being seen as a major force in this market, but they are not targeting bitcoin but altcoins and shitcoins instead. They love to hunt for hidden gems and are willing to take any risks. After the recent market crash by Luna and some lending protocols, a lot of GEN Z lost a lot of money and they slowly started to realize only bitcoin is eternal and nothing else can be compared to it.

Could be that this forum is a little bit to oldschool for Gen Z people, since here everything is more regulated and also the layout is more 2000-2010 . But I don't find this necessarily a bad thing, since this forum has also a lot of influence in the development of bitcoin and a serous talk about that would be way harder on a forum like reddit where everything is more of a mess.

Nobody under the age of 18 in here?  I sort of doubt that.  Given a majority of the responses and ridiculous opinions here, I assumed that a majority of users were in the 15-17 range.  Reading some of my trust feedbacks from trolls, I honestly doubt these people are adults.  Look at this feedback from owlcatz:

Sorry, your cunty feedback is rubbish and mine is the truth. Do your trust network a favor and add this cunt ~ognasty to your trust settings to avoid this cunt on bitcointalk.

You can't convince me that a grown adult male actually wrote that about me in good faith after more than a decade of helping users here in various ways.  I think it's far more likely that it's a child lashing out at those he views as authority in an attempt to elevate himself somehow (a.k.a. showing off for the other trolls).  This just isn't adult behavior.  At least not someone with an IQ above 100.

I am only 27 years old .and I am using cryptocurrency & I am using this forum from 2013 . When I was 16 years old . But I was folish then I see Bitcoin price $60-70 but I didn't hold Bitcoin then. If I was bought and  keep holding 10-12 btc. Now I could make a huge profit and get rich

I have the same experience as you. I was 19 years old when I first heard about Bitcoin but since I was still unstable at that time, I was afraid to invest in it, and even thought of it as a scam. I ignored it but regret it later on. I'm in my 30's now and still putting up a good investment in Bitcoin because of the opportunities that I missed due to fear so I advise the younger generation to invest as early as possible because the price of Bitcoin is actually striking higher every bull run.

You have a point about people who invested in cryptocurrency at the time they feel like but the graph I was talking about didn't express people investing in crypto at a specific time of time.
Meanwhile, it was a graph created based on research about the age bracket of people who are into Bitcoin and the information may not be accurate but i believe it provides 90% correct pieces of information.

I am not surprised by the results so far. It's the demographic that has some money to invest and is open to new ideas. The older generations are slowly warming to crypto, but it's not even close to younger generations who in turn are not even close to what older generations can put into investing (money wise).

[Jody.Drummer]

The ideal young age as a potential bitcoin adopter still conveys the purpose of Bitcoin as it should be. intact and there is no change from the aspect of excellence. Regardless of how the younger generation perceives Bitcoin if you look at it today, it is very easy for them to accept the existence of Bitcoin and quickly become familiar with making Bitcoin the right investment vehicle. They realize many things that Bitcoin is the freedom to control their finances.

from what I'm seeing right now the younger generation is seeing money and also invest wisely than the older generation, because this generation is cryptocurrency minded which i know and also observe from the rate of cryptocurrency investment and campaign of cryptocurrency before now. The factor now is that both oldest people is investing wisely without the concernment of youths or Young adults. and also youths now is even pushing more money for cryptocurrency without listening to elders as

I rarely meet investors at an already respectful age - more than 45. I think that people at this age either no longer think about such investments, or I just don’t know such investments.

Subject: Age of bitcoiners

...//...:::

hi ,OP...

It gives me a remembrance blow with your thread title and the Age of Empires 1997 game, in which version are we going...? I tell you I didn't even remember that game and I think I lost the thread in the 21st century.

But what does it matter at that time I was young today not so much, but here we are, the important thing with bitcoin is to belong at some point or remain forever, you just have to know that it exists.
Age is only a temporary "relative"_ of the price at which I bought my first bitcoins

You probably just haven't met one. But in real life, I've met usually from 20-40 and a few from 45 and above when I've attended those gatherings that are related to cryptocurrencies. At that age, they should be more into investments and mostly, they're still a working class that has a lot of it expanded and scattered in many investments which includes bitcoin.

at the age of more than 45, I think many of them seem to want to develop assets that they already have. by choosing cryptocurrencies and they use cold money, most of them are more prepared to deal with crypto volatility than people aged 20-30 years. I think psychology is the main obstacle for young people, because they are developing assets, and not infrequently they use money from anywhere to multiply their assets.
