Definitely there are always factors to consider when starting out investment, most importantly having the financial capacity of having a discretionary income, so when we consider our situation in life could be more of financial availability and being able to afford our expenses and paying our bills which are primary and essential needs as well, I really don’t think that we should consider our age when we want to start investing in Bitcoin, life is always full of uncertainty, considering that we’ve a discretionary income and we can continue to accumulate Bitcoin on a regular basis, marriage and all that are just all a bonus and also will still have to deal with our financial situation and expenses.

It could be an issue. To give you some context, if a person is 70 years old and he/she has enough money to enjoy the few years he/she has left, I believe investing in Bitcoin should be the LAST goal he/she should plan for himself/herself.

Compare that to a young individual in his/her 20s who has been saving MOST of his/her salary. If that individual is given an opportunity to invest in the lowest DIPs of a bear cycle, then he/she SHOULD use ALL of his/her savings.

I think you are right about what you said here concerning age, it plays an important role on how a Bitcoin investment should approach his investment, just as you have said already, you can't expect a 70year old Bitcoin investor still planning on holding for more than 10 years because he knows that he has a limited time, unlike those that are in their 20's.
But those in their 20's don't have to buy only the dip, they just have to buy anytime their discretionary income is available, but if their is a dip in the market they might seize the opportunity and buy aggressively if they have their reserves funds to do so, because they have quite a lot of time to reap from their investment when bitcoin has risen up to a million dollar or more.

See link why a 70 years person can still invest in Bitcoin or any other asset much beautiful if they have profound knowledge of BTC.

Then to think of holding for longer time (10 years)?
Look at it, at that age, the doings can't be for them but the people around, grand children even. At that age getting money is at least supposed to carry a different approach when compared with youthful days...
There’s a neighbor who stopped his 65 years old dad from doing any work because he first of all got a big job and later ventured into business (s) and also invested in BTC but i was like seeing no need to stopping his dad from doing any job. For me he can carry on with his work life but on different frequency as this might mean so much to him living longer even.
70 years old person investing in Bitcoin with part of their discretionary or available fund is an encouragement to the young people. Not to forget, it can't be the same vibe as that of a youth...
So they can plan to hold Bitcoin for 10 years since it's no longer about them but the people around, investing and also transferring their knowledge to any one ready to learn.

I think when someone who is more than 60 years old then invests in bitcoin, it can be done and no one will prohibit this action. Although it is true that in old age, the potential to be able to enjoy the results of bitcoin investment is indeed a little minimal due to the age factor. But it still won't be a futile thing. Because as Obulis said, it could be a bitcoin investment made by people over 60 years old for their children and grandchildren. I think this is a very noble act. Because basically bitcoin investment also does not mean that it must be enjoyed alone, but it can also make our children and grandchildren happy.

But if for example there are people who are 60 years old and above and invest in bitcoin for their personal goals, I think this is certainly an action that might be a little less appropriate. Because if the person intends to invest in bitcoin for his personal pleasure, most likely the person is not thinking long. Because surely people like that don't think about their age. But even so, we cannot deny that everyone has their own desires, so yes it all depends on each one. And the conclusion that I can get, in essence we should not waste our time, especially for young people who may still have a long future.

So basically if we currently have discretionary funds, I think it should be invested in bitcoin. Because in my opinion this is a very appropriate action to make our lives more comfortable in the future.
