the elder generation (people from 40’, for example), imagine bitcoin as something mysterious, fake and dangerous, though it is not.

Absolute nonsense.

I am over 40 years old, and I have been involved in bitcoin for nearly 6 years now.

My sister is more than 40 years old and she has owned and used bitcoin for more than 4 years now.

I have a co-worker that is more than 40 years old and, prior to working at this company with me, he worked for a company that paid his salary with bitcoin.

My father is more than 60 years old and he has owned and used bitcoin for more than 4 years now.

I don't personally know ANYBODY less than 30 years old that has any bitcoins at all, or that is involved in any way with bitcoin.


I agre that it really is not age associated but rather more like the "perception" of that particular person. I've known a lot of teenagers who are not into with Bitcoin because they are afraid that it might be just a scam or for intelligent people only and there are adults that thinks technology is for milennials only and they can't somehow understand its comolexity. Either way, I have also known both adults and teenagers whk use Bitcoin. It really is a matter of "perception" after all.
