Which age grade will more likely be easily convinced to invest in bitcoin?

[Stepstowealth]

This is a discussion I started in our Local Board, but I think the topic can be discussed more broadly because the answers can be different from place to place.
There are many age grades, and sometimes the age grades have a way of behaving similarly based on experience they have. Now as the news of Bitcoin is becoming a global trend. Which Age grade do you feel is more easy to convince in your country?

Adolescence or youth (13–20 years)
Young Adults (21–30 years)
Mature Adults (31–45 years)
Senior Citizens (46 years and on)

So we can have a sweet discussion, please give a reason for your answer.

The younger the ages, the easier to dictate them, so I will pick "Adolescence or youth (13–20 years)".

This is similar to work place, HR/employers are prioritizing youth who're not in college and married yet, why? if they're in college, they might ask for compensation to come late or leave early due to college. The same thing for married, they might ask for higher salary or permission to back to home when needed.

Matured/old people have trauma for invest in new thing or trust with someone, hence most of them always play safe e.g. buy stock, gold, ETFs, time deposit, trust in banks etc.

18 to 35 years invested most in bitcoin. So, they will be the ones that can easily be convinced to invest in bitcoin. Then followed by the people within the age of 36 to 45. As the age increases, the probability of investing in bitcoin decreases. Older age invest less in bitcoin. This is according to some researches.

Investment can start at an early age, especially if one has access to the amount of funds he needs to kick off. But you don't want to spend your time trying to convince a child of 10 or 17 to buy BTC as they literally don't might not have the full idea of what bitcoins can do or even have the money to invest. It's better to tell someone a bit older, in their 20's above that something like bitcoin exist and is worth investing their money and time on.

Again I'm not the type of person that convince anyone to buy bitcoin. Bitcoin investment is a personal decision one must take on their own because if the risk that comes with it.

[PrivacyG]

For the time being, my pick would be 35 and under.  And yes, the younger, the more likely to convince.

Old people and technology rarely ever fit together.  It is almost impossible for a lot of the elderly to be convinced that there are OTHER ways to do things as well.  Most of them want what is 'real' as in physical assets, but even then I doubt the majority of them are investors anyway.

[Ishicryptic]

The younger generation are more into online activities, they are the ones that will prioritize any investments and jobs that are done online than on physical so they will embrace Bitcoin more than the older generations. I will choose between age 21 to 30 in your options, from age 35 to 45 don't need to be convinced about Bitcoin investment, they should be well informed about the adoption of Bitcoin, how it started till now. The older generation cannot be convinced about Bitcoin investment because they are used to fiat and the banking system all their lives, even if they have heard about the potentials of Bitcoin, many will not trust a decentralized digital currency.

As the age increases, the probability of investing in bitcoin decreases. Older age invest less in bitcoin. This is according to some researches.

I will also choose the two age brackets which is between 13 – 30. They are the wide range of individuals that can easily be convinced onlike the older ones whom might have tried several investments thereby becoming more careful and little bit more skeptical about going into new investments especially since they haven't tried it before. Although if I may also mention, I can say that it also depends on the individual involved. Some individuals might be a little bit easier to convinced if you come up with data (however little) to back up your claims, while other might never pick interest at all since investing in bitcoin is like investing in the thin air.

[Churchillvv]

Of course younger generations are more technically inclined and interested in exploring new opportunities especially when it has to do with technology, you don't require much work on trying to convince them because they always develop interest much more easier than expected, they are only attracted by what the opposition offers once they can get incentives from the opportunity or financial gains the age below 40s would surely be interested especially if thre is evidence to prove that it works.

However being rational, I believe it depends on the personality of the person in question! some people are hard to convince no matter the age, you could convince my 50 years plus mom easier depending on who is coaching her than my 30 plus brother (just an example) this things has levels and trust on the person speaking is also what is to be considered.

You can't be the person People rarely trust and expect to convince someone easily no matter the age.

[Weirdest]

Gen Z and younger Millennials (18-34) are more likely to jump into Bitcoin. They’re digital natives, drawn to innovative finance, and less fazed by volatility. Older folks usually lean toward caution with unfamiliar investments like crypto.

[Marvell1]

Young Adults (21–30 years)
Mature Adults (31–45 years)

Bitcoin is a volatile, risky investment and requires some basic knowledge of the technology. So, in my opinion, people who are open-minded, adaptable to new things, willing to take risks...will be more easily convinced to invest in bitcoin. I think the group of people who fully converge those factors will be young people and adults.

But not everyone of the same age thinks the same way, so if you want to give advice and convince someone to invest in bitcoin, you need to rely on their personality, interests, and finances. We also have a lot of young investors under 18 or over 60 in the market, so we should rely on their personality rather than age to give advice.

[LogitechMouse]

Young Adults (21–30 years)
Senior Citizens (46 years and on)

I'm picking these 2 and I have my own reason why.

Young Adults (21–30 years) - at this stage, the person already is finding ways to make money since most probably the person already graduated from college already and finding a job. With how Bitcoin is being promoted right now which is a way to make money (which is completely wrong, but there's nothing that I can do about it), the person will be easy to convinced since he's finding a way to make money, and for him, it's like Bitcoin is the solution. With that, they'll invest into Bitcoin. Of course, not all in this age group are that easily to convinced still.

Senior Citizens (46 years and on) - I remember a community here in our country where they're attracting senior citizen and old people to invest in their project and join their community. BTW, this community promotes PI NETWORK, a very skeptical project, but these old people aren't equipped with enough financial literacy hence, these predators are taking advantage of them. I know it's a different project, but I took them as an example and because of that, I realized that it's easy for them to get convinced since whenever they see that they can make money by investing into it, they'll jump no matter what.

I think age does not matter if the goal is to convince to invest, but life experience matters more. Mature adults and senior are way to experienced and have seen lots of stuff in their life to be easily convinced for something. But, I think the Z generation, aged from 18 to 25 are the ones who does not want to put much effort to earn and would easily be convinced to invest in Bitcoin, altcoin and any meme-coin. Simply promise growth x10 in a month and they will sign for that in no time.

The young and middle aged people are most interested in and most actually invested in Bitcoin. There are some reports on Bitcoin demographics. The demographic changes with time as human generations roll over and the young replace the elderly over years. It's very basic and traditional trend in all societies when wealth distribution naturally moves from the elderly and middle aged people to the young but time flies fast and the young in 2025 will become middle-aged next 20 years and kid nowdays will become main backbones of Bitcoin adoption next 10 or 20 years.

This signals very bright future for Bitcoin adoption, its value and also price because demands will increase very sharply with time.

[Iranus]

According to some surveys, the main age groups involved in cryptocurrencies are GenZ and Millennials, with Millennials (28-43 years old) accounting for the largest proportion at around 50–57%. Along with that, most of the investors I know are between 30-37 years old, so I would choose Mature Adults and possibly Young Adults.

By the way, I agree with giving advice but I don't think convincing someone to invest is a wise idea. Investing in bitcoin is risky and not guaranteed so investing should be based on personal decision, do not force or try to convince anyone.

[Ruttoshi]

Young Adults (21–30 years)
Mature Adults (31–45 years)

I will pick these two set of age range people as the ones that can confidently embrace bitcoin adoption and invest into bitcoin because they are open to new innovation. We might say that 40-45 years is old but they still have the youth blood in them and most of them are still investing for their old age.

The first person that gave me a little insight about bitcoin was 42 years old three years back and he is still hodling his bitcoin investment till date. Only the elderly will find it difficult to accept new technology based on their old way of living and believe that they were in the world before us and know better than we the youths.

When it comes to my country, convincing someone to invest in Bitcoin by telling them the facts can be difficult, unless you choose to paint the story and tell them what they want to hear. It's quite unfortunate that we've found ourselves in such a situation. The majority of people who don't even have a job may be reluctant to spend their discretionary money, unless they are told exactly what they want to hear.

I think I will go with the two options quoted above, though the first age range (young adults) has a higher chance than the other. My reason is because, the society I live in has changed a lot, and it's quite different from what I knew decades ago. As far as I know, society now sees a 21year old and above as someone who should be living well(at least able to afford basic needs). That alone has created a vacuum in the minds of so many, making them eager to get involved in anything that has to do with making money as early as possible. So, I will stick with that age range.

But, I think the Z generation, aged from 18 to 25 are the ones who does not want to put much effort to earn and would easily be convinced to invest in Bitcoin, altcoin and any meme-coin. Simply promise growth x10 in a month and they will sign for that in no time.

There's no one in this world want to put much effort to earn, including 90 years old grandpa.

What you said is like a gambling mentality, gambling are popular in any ages.

I know it's a different project, but I took them as an example and because of that, I realized that it's easy for them to get convinced since whenever they see that they can make money by investing into it, they'll jump no matter what.

It requires two criteria.
1. It's generating coins (money) without capital and easy.
2. People who close with them are participating too.

That's why, airdrop and bounties are very popular for Average Joe because it doesn't require capital to get.

Adolescence will be good to teach about money management while we can give a little explanation about the investment. We can direct them to learn Bitcoin for a global detail before we teach them the other details.

Young adults can be a good time for them to start investing in Bitcoin as they already know about Bitcoin. They can use their money from their parents or from their salary and allocate some amounts to invest in Bitcoin.

While they start the Bitcoin investment, encourage them to learn for the other things related to crypto such as trading. If they interest with trading, we can teach them the lesson of trading or they can learn by themselves.

If they are understand about Bitcoin, it is easy to convince them to use Bitcoin for the investment or payment transaction. But if they are hard to accept, that will not easy to convince them. So we can teach them slowly based on their ages so they can accept it without a problem.

It will obviously be those under the group of adolescence between 13 and 20. The older the person is, the more fixed his opinions would be and the harder it will be to convince him or change his opinion. But younger people I would say are a lot more open minded. Parents must think that their teenagers are the most stubborn but actually it is the elderly that are the most stubborn and won't change their beliefs once they have committed to it.

By the way, aren't senior citizens like 60yo? or does just that apply on my country?

First of all, I think that no one should convince someone. I think that it's a better approach to show them the path, the one that you think is right and another one that he thinks is right, then it's up to them whether they believe something or not.

But, still, I'd say that it's easier to convince people between 13-30 and then come senior citizens. On average, it's easy to convince anyone if they don't have a strong psychology but teens and young adults are very easy target because they aren't psychologically strong, especially when everyone tells teens to listen to adults. Elder people are also easy target because lots of scams target them. This maybe isn't because of their psychology but lack of knowledge of modern technologies and the mentality of new people.
