I agree that Bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general are easily accepted much more by younger people than our older folks, this i believe is because the technicalities involved in buying, selling and even hodling bitcoin cant be easily understood by the older folks, probably because they hardly have the time to sit and study the subject, most especially those of them who already own and are running their own big businesses, they fill they've fulfilled their destinies already, so why the hassle, trying out new stuffs.

But the younger folks that are still searching for their destinies are always ready to try out new things, for this forks, their risk appetite is still on the high side, so its no surprise that they are the ones that easily accept bitcoin and crypto.
I got into crypto in my early 20s though.
