Oh that's interesting! I would have guessed that more people would be in the 21-30 range than 31-40. Seems like it's changed since 2011
Edit: Just realized there are only 4 votes so far lol... so maybe not actually. We'll see.

Doesn't look like a dramatic change so far, but there does appear to be a broadening of the population distribution a bit on the high end. I'm 43, and it looks like I would have stood out as a real rarity three years ago. Now at least I have a little company. The youthfulness of the board explains a few things for me that I'll have to keep in mind when dealing with you young 'uns. ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

The median age might have increased by around 1 year. The change is caused by the entry of a limited number of institutional investors, such as the Winkelvii.

You should re do this with different ages in a 5 year range. Comparing a 21 year old to a 30 year old. Your comparing people in college to people with professional careers, homes, families... They are nothing alike, don't share needs, values, etc.

Sadly many of the younger ones cannot be trusted: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.wired.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fblogs%2Fwiredenterprise%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2014%2F03%2Fkarpeles-tokyo2.jpg&t=665&c=2avVxFu2jWSS-A) Haha. What's that about? Are they lawyers/minders?

Yes the poll should have more options. The age ranges are too broad to get an accurate picture.

It'd complicate comparing the two polls, though. Though I do agree - when the first poll was resurrected I thought the same (but by then it was far too late to change it, obviously).

44 the biggest increase seems to be in my age bracket.

I never thought my life could be. Anything but catastrophe. But suddenly I begin to see. A "BIT" of good luck for me. Cause I've got a golden ticket!

A poll of only 30 people isn't even close to being a large enough representative sample.

I turned the big half century mark on my last bday...it's now just a number...but fwiw now I understand why women would lie about their age. I used to always think that was stupid. Now I get it...you wake up that 50 morning and go WTF just happened, I'm not 50, fuck that. I'm 30 something. I look 30 something. I wear 30 something clothes!!! I AM NOT THIS OLD!! ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) Because I spent my whole life calling 40-50 year olds "old people" so now the crow...it does not taste like chicken. I still feel 30 something but no longer hook up with 20 somethings since now it just feels like babysitting. Fun for a little bit but then it gets exhausting and I gotta send em back to their mammas I'm glad there are older ones here too.
