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.


That is right, Bitcoin awareness really depends on the person.
Even if you are on your teenage years but you don't believe on it then you won't care of having one. It is one person's interest that let him go into bitcoin not his age.

Older people might have more interest on it since they understand how economics go more than younger ones.

I agree that it depends on the interest of person but what I have experienced so far is that younger generation adopts bitcoin very easily and they don't find it hard to learn but comparatively older generation hesitates in online stuffs as first of all they don't know how to use computer and the other thing is that they believe everything in online world is a scam so it becomes very difficult to convince them to use bitcoins.
