Unfortunately, this is true. The most potential victims for the new systems will be either the elderly, or absolute beginners who have just recently decided to get acquainted with the world of cryptocurrencies. I draw parallels now with the Internet and bank cards. In these spheres older people get cheated very often, because for them such technologies are a kind of discovery and they do not know all the nuances. Even experienced crypto users sometimes get caught in a trivial phishing or some similar scam attack.
About the questions answered, I am very curious about how many scam cases at El Salvador after their country adopted bitcoin as a legal currency. This will answer some doubts, will also allow other countries and their users to find the best solution in order to minimize the number of incidents of scam and attempted scam.
I believe that there are complex thinks between the age groups of cryptocurrency users, especially those who are elderly. But As long as the adopting country does not abolish fiat and replace it with bitcoin or specific cryptocurrency, then bitcoin is the alternative
[not the main currency].Yes, it would be interesting to see such statistics, but something tells me that we will never see them. According to the statistics we have, only young people in El Salvador are interested in bitcoin, and most of the older population is skeptical about bitcoin and does not want anything to do with it, they do not trust bitcoin and consider it unnecessary for mutual settlements inside the country. So with this level of skepticism, it is unlikely that many older people in this country have fallen victim to bitcoin fraud.
