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 have to agree with Danny on that. The majority of the people who approach me for help with Bitcoin is over 40 years of age. The
younger generation get bored very quickly and jump from one tech to the other to be hip and cool. {that is what the kids says} I
think many of the older people are nearing pensionable age and they are thinking of ways to supplement their pension or
retirement savings. {Younger people have the luxury of time in their favour, so they not really bothered with investments that
gives fast returns}
Yes this are true. Although I get the points of the poster which means that since the younger generation is more on the technology, they tend to be the ones who will be able to accept Bitcoins.
In my case, I never known someone above 40 using Bitcoins. But I believe there are and is also a big number.
Maybe it is not question of age, but a question of knowledge to technology instead. And also the open mindedness to the idea of Bitcoins.
