This is what I want to say to everyone, if someone wants to contribute to the popularity of bitcoin happening faster. I mean, instead we find ways or solutions to spread bitcoin on social media or do big things to make bitcoin popular. What we need to do is share bitcoins with our loved ones, the closest people around us. If we all do that simple thing, I believe bitcoin will become more popular than we can imagine. Don't think we have to do something monumental and big to be effective, let's do things that are simple and within our capabilities.
The future of Bitcoin depends largely on the solution it offers and how well people understand and appreciate same. The moment many people begin to render and receive services through Bitcoin, then we can say we are there in the mainstream. Personally, I heard about Bitcoin because of needs... I had to send money across borders and the only option I could use was Bitcoin because their was restriction to FX in my country. PayPal, Skrill, Neteller and others was not possible as there was no way to fund them. I was amazed when a friend introduced me to Bitcoin and I was able to settle a payment I had almost lost hope on.
I have also seen a lot of companies integrate payment through Bitcoin and this make them record astronomical sales. For instance, many prop firms such as
MyForexFunds and
TheFundedTrader that integrate payment in Bitcoin are doing far better than those who rely on conventional payment systems. As a matter of fact, over two thousand people from my country are trading with these firms according to their data.
Therefore I don't really target the old age range, I target young people, adults and at least those generations where the Internet existed when it was born.
No doubt, Bitcoin resonate more with younger people... this is expected anyways. The Internet generation will always love anything Internet related so it will be easier communicating with them in this regard. Nevertheless, I know a handful of elderly that have interest in Bitcoin... but it is not worth wasting time teacher the older generation about Bitcoin unless perhaps the aim is to suggest to them to buy Bitcoin for their heirs which is a wise counsel.
