Is it worth it to teach older people about bitcoin technology?

[ZeeshanTrade]

It’s sad to say that majority of the older people don’t know anything about bitcoin. But that never means that they were not good enough to learn about it as bitcoin has no age limit when it comes to learning its idea and its bitcoin usage. That’s why it’s still worthy to teach older people about bitcoin technology and how it would be beneficial to an individual’s life.

Know that bitcoin is never limited to young ones, nor older people around. The fact that you are being receptive and show the eagerness to learn, then it’s safe to say that you’ll eventually learn bitcoin as long as you do your own diligence through research and studies.

Yeah!! we cannot teach about Bitcoin to older people because they can't understand if we want that older people know about Bitcoin so this is a task for us this is too much difficult to teach Bitcoin to older people because they do not have the age to learn about BTC.

A lot of people mentioned that it should depend on the interest of older people in Bitcoin, and I agree with that. Age shouldn't be held against a person, and there are some old people who want nothing to do with tech, which is their choice to make. If the situation is different and a person want to learn stuff, it's good to teach them. But similar things can be said about young people: if someone doesn't want to learn about Bitcoin, there isn't much sense in trying to teach them.
When it comes to old people, I think it's also very important to focus on scam prevention: what sort of strategies scammers in general and crypto scammers specifically employ, how to avoid getting scammed, etc. Young people can be more aware and/or less financially capable than old people in this regard, and unfortunately, scammers often try to target old people, relying on their lack of basic knowledge of those things and access to money.

Bitcoin has captured the center of attention, especially with the younger generations showing keen interest in it. Yet, there are those who believe that teaching older individuals about it might not be a wise investment of time. However, we must ponder: does it carry value? This conversation revolves around the question of whether it's worthwhile to educate older generations about bitcoin.

Bitcoin is for everyone and it doesn't matter the age of the person, if they come to you to teach them about bitcoin then you're obligated to do so as to help them learn about the freedom that comes from owning and using bitcoin for transaction instead of depending on fiats.

When you teach older people about bitcoin they can in return teach their children, nephews, niece, grandkids and others relating to them which will help spread the knowledge of Bitcoin to everyone. Nobody should be denied the opportunity of learning about Bitcoin.

It might be difficult to teach older people as they're very skeptical about new technology but that's why you don't have to force yourself on them but allow them to pick interest before you start teaching them and they'll be willing to learn since they're the ones that approach you.

Regardless of age if I see that person has the willingness to know more and dig deeper about Bitcoin and not just after for profit, then I say that it’s going to be worth the time teaching them.

Ever since I got into Bitcoin, I never taught my parents about it. I’ve known them for having a career-oriented and traditional mindset. No way they would be interested enough to know more about Bitcoin because their interests are different than mine, so I did not force or beg them to buy Bitcoin or such.

I just let my actions and results do the talking.

I was heavily criticized for years because of the uncertain direction that I am going which is to be a work-at-home freelancer than working in a real traditional office. But I stood by my decision and hanged on to that.

Fast forward to where I am having great results in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies plus getting involved to several Web3-related opportunities, they no longer criticize me.

There’s one time that my dad asked me about how to buy Bitcoin. I did educated him about the risks and asked him honestly on how much extra money he can afford to lose. He committed to an amount that he wanted to lose, so I just helped him buy Bitcoin in Binance. I also encouraged him to store BTC in a non-custodial wallet, but he just wanted it in Binance. I respected his decision though and I do not want to argue with him because he’s a guy who easily gets angry.

Just yesterday night, I sat at table with one of the millenials that I just met, You wouldn't believe what their concerns were and the reasons why they don't indulge in the technology of the season.

She said it was too complex and complicated for her to comprehend and that she doesn't think its what she want to commit time and resources to, I then "brough her up to speed" on the tech and explained the basics for her and why she has to subscribe and also transact using bitcoin and other altcoins. After the session, she was happy about it and even applauded the tech for the laudible innovation.

Older people are part of our society, so it is good to teach them about bitcoin technology. By doing so, those of them who have interest in the investment can make a meaningful investment, while those that have interest in the casual use it, for example buy products and services, can also use it. The better understanding of it that they will get, will make things better for them in that area.

Bitcoin has no limitations and there is no age limit that anyone can learn about Bitcoin. I think it's a good idea to try to teach the old people about bitcoin, because if the old people know about bitcoin, he can encourage more of his family members to learn about bitcoin, which will definitely be good for bitcoin. People value the advice of old people much more than others, so teaching them will accelerate the progress of Bitcoin. But I think old people should be more interested in learning about bitcoin technology than attracted to profit.

Because this will have a good effect among crypto users. I had a discussion with some old people I know about Bitcoin a few days ago because they had a bad idea about Bitcoin. They are now trying to get to know Bitcoin better and have already seen a lot of changes in them. So old people should be taught about Bitcoin, which will directly affect the Bitcoin market.

[Crypt0Gore]

Older people that I know of shows no interest in Bitcoin more than the youths and a few students that I have taught about Bitcoin, it's true that Bitcoin has no limitations but it can't be forced on anyone young or old people, The truth be told, not everyone in this life will have interest in Bitcoin even if it start changing the lives if your neighbor and families, I know someone who described Bitcoin as the biggest scam that ever existed, he claimed that's why it is very hard to kill Bitcoin, because it favours many when it's still cheap, I know he lacks and I do tried to correct him but he won't let me.

There is nothing anyone can do to change the mind of such people, and honestly, not all Bitcoin investors will make a lot of money because they invest into Bitcoin, some will lose their private keys and some will fall into hackers trap, some will even decide to sell before Bitcoin makes a new all time high, I believe that Bitcoin is fine without anyone promoting ot teaching people about it, those who really need something like Bitcoin will find Bitcoin.

If i talk about my country then old age users are not aware about btc and they have kept their all saving in bank. As far I know, teaching old people about btc is very tough task because they considered themselves experience and intelligent and whenever we talk about btc they saying that all online money making is just fraud. Actually many ponzi schemes scammed lot of people in our country therefore they are considering btc like these Ponzi scheme also.

anyway old age people have lot of savings and if they keep their half money in btc then i think it will be more profitable from just holding in banks where everyday its value decreases with doller rate. we should spread awareness about the benefits and the people who succeeded with holding btc for a time. I hope if we continue our work, then nothing is impossible. Our work is to spread awareness, whether they accept or not. we cannot force someone to do this. so far i am able to convince more than ten relative about btc and all are below 40 age.

I don't understand why it wouldn't be worth it to teach older people about Bitcoin or blockchain technology as long as they are showing some interest themselves and you are not forcing it on them. There are some people who might be old-school but they totally understand the worth and importance of new technologies and they also often have some interest in getting involved but they might lack the necessary knowledge to achieve that and we can provide them with that.

When someone gets old, all they have is experience and that experience is important, they can see Bitcoin from a different perspective than us, they know how investments work, and they know how to mitigate the risks involved with an investment in a volatile asset such as Bitcoin since they had gold in their times.

There's no age bracket in the adoption of bitcoin for what should be most important to beam our search light on is the interest of people towards bitcoin  and how willing they are to learn, adapt and  understand the technology. Many of these old people have the money to purchase and hold bitcoin in same way they do with their fiat money as savings in the bank that doesn't give bank profit to their money.
If they are well enlightened about bitcoin  a good number of them can augment with the number of the youths that are already investing in bitcoin and that can have a significant bullish effect on the price of bitcoin as buyers increases.

[Ever-young]

In my opinion, it's not a bad idea to teach anyone about Bitcoin, no matter the age range. unless the person is not even interested at all. Some people despite that they are old, they still have the zeel to aquire knowledge about current technology and opportunity and Bitcoin can give them the opportunity to even invest on their own, they don't need to stress themselves going from one place to another to make investment, but with Bitcoin they can do it on their own right in their house .

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

First, I want to tell a story that one of my relatives told me. During the period that the Nigerian government changed their local currency, they asked all citizens to go to the bank and deposit all their old local currency so they could get the new bank notes. During the process of exchanging the local currency, the grandma of my relative brought out about $5k worth of Nigerian local currency that she had just saved in her room, right under her bed. This woman is over 70 years old. So, as I saw this topic, I just wondered how long that woman might have been saving that money in her house, and had she had any idea about Bitcoin, she probably would have invested the money in Bitcoin because, from the look of things, she receives all the financial assistance she needs from her children. With that being said, I think we can teach anyone about Bitcoin, whether teenagers, youths, or old people. Example: My own grandma is very old, but she still active on social media and watches videos on TikTok. She is always ready to learn anything you want to teach her, and she will disturb you with a lot of questions if she doesn't understand what you are teaching.

There's no age bracket in the adoption of bitcoin for what should be most important to beam our search light on is the interest of people towards bitcoin  and how willing they are to learn, adapt and  understand the technology. Many of these old people have the money to purchase and hold bitcoin in same way they do with their fiat money as savings in the bank that doesn't give bank profit to their money.
If they are well enlightened about bitcoin  a good number of them can augment with the number of the youths that are already investing in bitcoin and that can have a significant bullish effect on the price of bitcoin as buyers increases.

As said it all depends on the person's interest to know and be part of the growing technology. There'll be people who stand in support of technology and people who don't understand about the goodness technology provides. It is our responsibility to find the right person and enlighten them with the knowledge. It is possible to see good number of people interested into bitcoin considering the inflation happening around the world. Even the small contribution from the interested people around the world unlike their age will surely have its contribution to the bitcoin market.

That's just the idea, finding the right people that would be interested in the technology! There can be a right set of old people that may even pioneer the bitcoin campaign of a wider adoption beyond what so many young people can achieve in terms of both educating novice about BTC and in also making optimal use of the digital tech to elevate their financial standard.  The inflation globally has been a form of catalyst increasing the interest of many people towards bitcoin, you hear these persons giving an account of how they were told about bitcoin years ago but never took interest not until now. That's because they are looking for an alternative to cushion the effect of the inflation on their money.

A conversation will be meaningful if one party is interested in the topic being discussed. So if these older people are interested in Bitcoin and want to learn about this technology, why don't we teach them? it would be great if these older people are interested in this technology and we as young people who understand Bitcoin should be able to teach them.
Because after all one day we will become older people and how would we feel if young people were reluctant to teach us about a technology that we are interested in? so let's teach them if they are interested in learning Bitcoin.

[mr_jk]

It's worth teaching older people about Bitcoin technology depends on their individual circumstances and willingness to learn. It's important to provide balanced information and encourage them to make informed decisions.

to teach them they should understand first, on the other hand as parents they should have broad insight to teach something useful, and have a good view of changing times, but we cannot fully blame them because everyone certainly has a different mindset. different and for that that's why we as the younger generation should also respect the times, and there are many sources and it's easy to learn as long as there is a will, while at school it is certainly difficult to serve as an official curriculum, of course we already understand it, but a little knowledge expressed might be better

It depends on the kind of person,  if it is an elderly person that may find bitcoin interesting it is not a waste to share knowledge of bitcoin.  You know some of this old people during their young age they had ideas monetary system,  banking system and economy, and computer technology so I don't think it will be a total waste of sharing knowledge about bitcoin with age people in general.  As bitcoin is about money getting the knowledge is not bad even if it won't be practiced. I have come across age people who are into bitcoin,  this means if their are people like this , teaching old people is not a waste.

Why not, there is no age limit for teaching Bitcoin even to older people. The capacity of Bitcoin is not only for certain circles, as long as these people are willing to accept Bitcoin in their life, they can receive knowledge about Bitcoin and then get involved in it. The openness of Bitcoin to anyone will make it easier for people who are interested to become part of the investors who have been involved in Bitcoin investment for a long time. As long as they are able to take the time to learn how to invest in Bitcoin there will be no useless knowledge.
