I was actually wondering if there are any restrictions on age as to investing in Bitcoin?
I read threads where people have constantly introduced Bitcoin to their underaged children (10years below) and I really don't think it's necessary because I feel those kids still have some mental growth  to do and since Bitcoin is a very volatile digital asset, I think children shouldn't be made to go through such stress.
Same thing also applies to the elderly as I've also read news of people trying to get some retirees investing their pensions into crypto rather than advising them to relax and enjoy their pension and I really wanted to know if it's wise to get kids and elderly into the crypto industry.
The minimum age requirement for investing in Bitcoin may vary depending on the country and the platform used for buying and selling cryptocurrencies. In some countries, the legal age for investing is 18 years old, while in others, it may be higher or lower. It is important to check the laws and regulations in your country and the terms and conditions of the platform you plan to use before investing in Bitcoin.
As for introducing children and the elderly to the crypto industry, it is important to consider their level of understanding and risk tolerance. Children who are not yet capable of making informed financial decisions should not be encouraged to invest in volatile digital assets like Bitcoin. Similarly, retirees who may have limited financial resources should be advised to focus on preserving their wealth rather than risking it in speculative investments.
