Good morning Bitcoinland.
Same old, same old. Bouncing along sideways in $8k-$9k range... currently $8580USD/$10810CAD (Bitcoinaverage).
Waiting for the spring breakout. Ho hum.
late 50's here. and when i heard of btc in 2011 i took to the concept like a dog to a bone.
dont forget us old farts have seen how the government and banks play with money "for our own good" for a long time and many of us trust the government/banks even less than the younger generation.
but maybe im an exception. lot of my friends around my age just dont get btc and wont get into it. but that may be because they generally arent a technology freak like i am.
Same here and jumped in 2013 building a gpu miner with borrowed money. In the young uns defence though, when i was 30, i thought 50+ was a lifetime away and technology to that age group was beyond comprehension.
Of course i was wrong, as they are now
Almost 70 here and definitely not a tech luddite.
I used to think anyone over 40 was old. Now I think anyone
under 40 is a
clueless kid.
No, not all kids are clueless about life just as not all seniors are clueless about technology.
One of my older friends (pushing 80) was buying bitcoins at less than $200 and still buys the dips. Needless to say he's done quite well.
Meanwhile one of my younger friends in his 20s can't seem to understand Bitcoin. He thinks it's some kind of pyramid/Ponzi scam and that "the government" will "shut it down". Meanwhile he alternates between Mom's couch in Toronto and Dad's winter place in Thailand trying to get rich playing online poker. All this for a kid with a tested IQ over 180. Go figure.
Age has nothing to do with it. Mental flexibility counts a lot more.
