Is age a limitation in Bitcoin

[Marvelman]

To me age is not a barrier to venturing into Bitcoin  investments or making money . someone with the zeal or passion, ability and someone with high intelligence  can run it . We're in a challenging society now , and most teenagers take the slightest apportunity they have to making money online.

It depends where you live or what.  Unfortunately, for many teenagers, online earning opportunities aren't that easy.  Bitcoin and other investments require money and stuff that many don't have you know.  But yeah man I agree that age doesn't gotta be a barrier or whatever.  If you got the right excitement and ability to pick things up, anyone can give it a shot! You just gotta go for it.

[Litzki1990]

There is no age limit for using Bitcoin or investing in Bitcoin, but if you are an adult and have better decision-making capacity than a minor, you are definitely ahead of minors in using or investing in Bitcoin. Those who are underage have erratic decisions and cannot make proper decisions. Just as sufficient patience is necessary in making decisions on all these matters, we need to keep a cool head in making decisions on all these matters, but in the case of minor children, this matter can be observed very little. Young children do what they think and never think about what might happen to them after doing what they are doing. But a responsible person thinks about what can happen after work and what will happen if they work and then makes a decision, in this case their decision is less likely to be wrong.

bitcoin was designed from the start to be an asset that could be accessed by everyone regardless of ethnicity, nation, age, etc. because it can be accessed by everyone, that means there is no age limit to be able to access bitcoin and invest in it, because you are free to create a wallet and buy bitcoin from anyone. the most important thing is when you understand what you are doing and how you can safely safeguard the assets you own, that's all. and another problem is that if you are a minor, it may be difficult for you to access an exchange that enforces KYC, as an alternative you can access a P2P exchange and make transactions there.

There is no age requirement for buying or mining Bitcoin as it is completely decentralized and there is no KYC.  So anyone can access Bitcoin. But if one goes to buy bitcoins from a centralized exchange then he has to kyc on that exchange.  In this case, many do kyc using parents' documents. and if you use a non-custodial wallet for holding bitcoins, there is no problem with kyc. so there is no age limit anyone can use Bitcoin

Bitcoin is a decentralized exchange.  Anyone can enter here at any time.  No time limit is required for this.  Many can become world famous at a young age.  In this case we can talk about Elon Musk who created computer games at the age of 12 and later sold them.  From there he earns a lot of money.  Also holds the title of world's youngest programmer as he is only 13 years old.  But it does not mean that everyone will have equal success.  A class can have many students so not everyone is first.  It requires hard work.  So is the Bitcoin platform.  Knowledge of Bitcoin is required before entering here.  What is Bitcoin?  How is it bought and sold?  Also know how to fundraise.  Protecting funds from being hacked requires extensive knowledge.  Basically, success can only be understood if you devote a lot of time to it.

There's no limit, as long as you understand what it's for and you can generate your own wallet and buy cryptocurrency for yourself. I think what imposes the age limit are the exchanges that you are going to buy from and that needs KYC. That's going to be the issue if you were a minor. Other than that, you can make yourself your custody wallet and then let somebody else send you balance or something.

What are you talking about? Bitcoin is not a decentralized exchange but it is being traded in a "Decentralized Exchange". I don't get the connection you are pointing out with Elon and him being young. Not connected. Just because it's young? You don't make sense IMO.

Hi there to all of you. One of the most amazing things I've noticed about Bitcoin is that it doesn't have an age requirement before using it or creating a wallet. In traditional banking, however, one must be 16 or older to open an account, unless they have assistance from a guide who helped them do so. Additionally, no matter how young you are, no one can question you about how you make money because no one keeps an eye on your wallet.

Your involvement in the crypto space stays anonymous until you reveal it by yourself so how can anyone gonna know about it that is why it is impossible to keep an eye on one one wallet because all people have unique addresses here. It can also be a problem if one is underage because some exchanges ask you to do KYC if you want to use their services but if you are using decentralized exchange services then you are good to go.

I think one can also use their elder one identity like brother or father to do KYC on the exchanges if they are buying Bitcoin on the centralized exchanges but the best is to always use your own information in these kinds of things to avoid future problems. At the end of the day, you need to have a bank account to withdraw your Bitcoin into cash so that means you must be at least above 18 years old so you can enjoy all these things of the crypto environment.

[Benedictare]

   Age is not a limitation,but to some extent,i think it might be .

   In terms of reading, there is no age limit,but investing,it is only some one from the age of 18 years can do that because that is the legal age,why am i saying from 18years, the person is matured and will be able to understand more, better  and having a higher understanding of Bitcoin and investment, knows and follow the do's and don't of the forum.

   Someone under the age of 18 is still not matured enough interlectually ,i.e not matured,the person can be reading and getting himself prepared for the right time

This is why the currency is decentralized, not centralized in the local bank; they need your full details before you will be able to use it, unlike Bitcoin. However, Bitcoin doesn't limit anybody from using it regardless of their age, and everybody can use it. That is why we say it provides financial freedom since everyone can use it. You can see that it provides freedom financially if it is in local banks; we cannot use it the way everybody is getting involved in using bitcoin. In fact, the crypto space at large.

But remember that if you are going to use an exchange to receive Bitcoin, you will provide your details, and most of those details must be at least 16 years old before you get them in my country because they include a bank verification number (BVN), so that is just it. But if you are going to create another wallet, you can do that if the wallet does not require KYC.

Maybe for now, we can say that there are no strict restrictions on age in buying Bitcoin still exchange platforms not never require KYC and there are some options that never ask for your personal identity. But I was afraid in the future where KYC would be mandatory and only legal age would be allowed to open an account. In fact, this is already been started by known and big exchange platforms. It sounds off yeah, but this could possibly happen for some reasons the authorities have seen.

We take this opportunity now while still have because sooner or later,  the system will surely change. And much more if the SEC are into their strict implementation.

This is where liberty and freedom of Bitcoin comes to play. The fiat and the traditional banks will give you a lot of conditions while bitcoin will give you no condition. In as much as you can use the internet and able to accept the consequences of your decisions, you are good to go with bitcoin investment. The only thing that people fear is the technicality of bitcoin. But then, one doesn't need to be a guru in order to invest in bitcoin. A basic knowledge is enough irrespective of age.

The banking system has always been the problem from the first day and it was package like thing are okay and going to be better without much restrictions but still the government would want to make us pay for everything in the name of tax. Bitcoin does not have a third party like the way the bank will hold our money and want to process our transaction whenever they like. We need to be wise and take cryptocurrency very serious because this is the way forward for us not to be restricted from spending our money. Bitcoin serves as a mean of investment and also a currency we can spend to buy products without restrictions.

[SamReomo]

Yes, it has no age related restrictions and that's another positive aspect of it. In traditional banking system, minors can't have their accounts and they can't invest any money into assets. Thanks to Bitcoin, now anyone can have their own accounts (wallets), and store Bitcoin in those wallets without any type of restrictions.

Everyone want to have freedom of choice and Bitcoin gives them the freedom of choice. They are free to create their wallets, store their Bitcoin, and hold the Bitcoin to make profits in long-term. I believe that freedom is needed in everyone's life and thanks to Bitcoin, now everyone can have that freedom in their lives.

[Odusko]

But under 18 can find it difficult to use exchanges and platforms that are centralized. You are right because bitcoin is not centralized but decentralized and you can get your coins through decentralized exchanges or to buy it directly from someone selling bitcoin like such service offer on this forum.

Bitcoin doesn't have any age limit, so long as the holder have the basic knowledge on how to uptiain and secure they Bitcoin which guarantee them freedom in the now and the future, this is the advantage of Bitcoin decentralized nature and for sure we have some form of personal restrictions and if being 18+ help you think critically then waiting or suggesting that one need to be 18+ at least to be able to handle and control they Bitcoin holdings.
Any age less than that should be put under the guidance of a parent who will help him secure the wallet uptil he is old enough to legally have one.

[God bless u]

With the helps of decentralised exchanges age limitation has been put out of the crypto space, especially in bitcoin one anyone of any age can own whatever amount of unds in his or her wallet because it's not regulated. With all this features that cryptocurrencies has brought to the world have made it stand out because a lot of people has been maltreated because of age limitations and hence they now settle for cryptocurrencies.

Truly the power of decentralisation is the fact that it cannot be regulated by any law, or centralised authorities. Both teens and older people now can have whatever amount that they wish to have in there wallets without any of the governmental troubles which is very good of them.

But don't you think that the under age sector of people will misuse this feature of no age limitations? Young and new trades have a sense of greed in their personalities.They see celebrities on TV and all over the internet and they want to become like them no matter at what cost.

They see crypto as a Shortcut to richness although it's not like that. So they'll in my opinion try to invest a large amount no matter how it comes. This will lead to tensions in their character development phases and it will lead to an unethical generation full of selfishness.There should be a limit to the age and it should be set by the consultation of some doctors and psychologists.

unfortunately, your thinking is biased based on th environment which you find yourself, there are people all over the world who are in a responsible environment which they have been groomed not to think of financial crime and perhaps the opposite could also happen but why don't we hope for the best?

Secondly, if bitcoin or cryptocurrency at large becomes age limited then bitcoin has deviated from its original intention of being a freedom currency, Satoshi knew all the limitations in the financial system in the world but he choice to make become decentralised, unlimited to age etc because he understood the world and how it operates.

So perhaps if there was an age limit in bitcoin, then I wouldn't be sharing my little knowledge with you because in the last few months I was completely under aged the centralised authorities policies but I hold bitcoin even we I was under aged which is the exact power of bitcoin which we discuss.
The world could be a better place from the vision of Satoshi if there is financial freedom and all we need is to be careful of how we use this new invention and that's all that is required of us. If you're a freedom fighter you could understand more of what the intention of bitcoin and/or crypto is.

The only limit on age in Bitcoin is if the intended user is not old enough to read and write and doesn't own a device with internet access and don't own a bank account. That's for a fact. 

I wouldn't even think that parents who open trust funds for their children would divulge the information so that these children can join the cryptocurrency world and do what obviously?

Bitcoin is for matured minds that understand that it is not physical money and should not be treated as such, so there's no point barely legal adult children  can't own some for both experience and experiment.

[Taskford]

But don't you think that the under age sector of people will misuse this feature of no age limitations? Young and new trades have a sense of greed in their personalities.They see celebrities on TV and all over the internet and they want to become like them no matter at what cost.

For that proper guidance is really important since we know how easily those young adults to get deceive so they must be supervise with adults who have a lot of knowledge about investment on bitcoin.

That's why exchange or other crypto platform only accept 18+ or legal age since they know that these people can handle their selves well and their company will not get any legal issues with that matter.

They see crypto as a Shortcut to richness although it's not like that. So they'll in my opinion try to invest a large amount no matter how it comes. This will lead to tensions in their character development phases and it will lead to an unethical generation full of selfishness.There should be a limit to the age and it should be set by the consultation of some doctors and psychologists.

People always see that since they can see a lot of easy rich schemes videos or testimony online that's the reason they believe something like that and they allowed to be feed up with lies. So its important for this child to have their parents watching them so they could able to control them and give a good advice if they see their child doing excessive things.

I would say it’s always safe if you invest in bitcoin at a mature age. By being mature means you have already perceived correctly the real definition of bitcoin, as well as its risks and rewards. That way, you won’t be blinded by what these crypto influencers keep on saying about bitcoin as you have already fully understood how to make it successful with your bitcoin investment. Knowledge still creates a good foundation in your bitcoin investment.

[Agbe]

Op even at that there are some centralized exchanges that you will like to use would asked you your ID both front and back and in that your details are clearly written there so if they see that you are under age then you will be restricted. Though he can use decentralized exchanges. But if the person mind is not strong enough to face some of the language in various platforms he might be using, he might be demoralized. So it is always good for some to start cryptocurrency investment when he has attained the adulthood so that the mind would be strong enough to defend himself. In cryptocurrency investment the languages are not meant for under age but for adults. You can only engage on buying and selling of cryptocurrencies (trading) or only in investment but even at that you must communicate with others. So your mind must be prepared.

Centralized systems have age restrictions.  In the bank, a young boy can't open any account and I think a person above 60 also can't open Bitcoin but thanks to Bitcoin it releases us from this tension. If you know about Bitcoin you can invest and earn money and no one has the authority to ask you about it. This is the real financial independence that Bitcoin gives to us no one has any right to ask you about your profit and your age restriction but I think a 16-year-old boy is too young for Bitcoin investment perhaps Bitcoin won't ask him about his age but understanding bitcoin is also necessary if you don't then how will you earn and safe your income.
