I think maturity has changed my attitude to innovations like Bitcoin. When I was younger, I would have been inside the code, and attempting to understand the whole mechanism. Now I'm more interested in the concept, and the application. When I talk to members like JackG, I realise how little I really know about Bitcoin, but I do understand how a virtual asset can have a real intrinsic value, and Bitcoin brought that home to me. Bitcoin is the only crypto that has this attribute, and that is why I believe that it will endure and grow in value. Very few people seem to appreciate this, and this is why they compare alt coins to it. There is no comparison, unless you consider gold coins to be the same as fiat bank notes of course.

This doesn't mean that alts don't have a usage value, and it is a failing of mine that I haven't spent time researching them. Project like Etherium have a strong use case, and this utility gives them value, and some of them will probably grow at a faster rate than Bitcoin.

Jetcash is a living proof that age should not be a hindrance in becoming aware of cryptocurrency especially bitcoin. Because there's always a thought that bitcoin will be for younger generations. Partly true, they might already have poor eyesight and difficulty in absorbing new technology. Grandpa Jet cash, you could have great influence for people at your age. I hope you always have a good health.

Maybe, if in terms of registered accounts, there are older than you.
My account is a lot older than many people here  Cheesy But I'm still young  Grin I'm sure there are many other people who also have large account age in this forum, it is not really important to mention. But for everyone's real age, I think there is hardly anyone older than OP. I suddenly remembered someone, it's gentlemand
I don't knows his current age, but I think he could be an OP competitor  Cheesy

May I ask why you have come to that conclusion?

I constantly refer on here to my skaterboi pals and twerking on Tip Tap or whatever the fuck it's called. I have also 'cancelled' my own grandmother for being rude to her coolie.

It's so sad when useful productive members of society die early.

I went to the pet emporium this morning. One of the major pet food manufacturers has just released a new range of car food, and it's the most expensive. I bought a box for my 94 year old friend to give to her cat, and of course, it loved it. A box of 8 tins is on an introductory offer at the moment, and it is below half price. I went in to buy another couple of boxes for her. A woman in front of me was being led by s black labrador dog, and it was keen to check out the food shelves and the toys. There is a veterinary surgery to the right just after the entrance, and the woman turned the dog towards the vets. Well that was it! The dog went flat on its stomach, and shoved it legs out in a star formation, and it refused to move. I know just how it felt, as I feel the same way about modern hospitals with their infections, brainwashed staff and poisonous drugs.

I certainly don't think I'm telling any tales out of school when I reveal that JimboToronto is up there with you, but I think you have him beat by a few years (don't know for sure). <...>
JimboToronto is now about 72 years old, if I understood his statement correctly.


I don't know that Bruno is in his sixties or seventies when he passed away months ago. He is old but I don't know his real age. <...>
Bruno was 60 years old. (Link)

JC, which do you think played a bigger part in your life success?   Nature or Nurture?

Having lots of birthdays. Smiley

But seriously - I believe that good health starts before you are born, and I am lucky in having had a healthy and active mother. She was from an era when the tennis club was the centre of social activities, and that was where she met my father. I was breast fed, and had no vaccinations in my early years, so that I was able to build a good natural immunity system. Of course we didn't have much in the way of pharmaceuticals in those days, and most medicines were based on natural products. My advice would be to avoid all doctors and hospitals, and to work with nature to maintain your health. However this may not work if you are a product of the health destruction industry that seems to be the current practice. Avoid all pharmaceuticals and recreational drugs, smoking, vaping and cheap alcohol. Enjoy life, and take an adventurous approach to sex.

I wouldn't consider myself a success. Once I start to achieve success, then I get bored, and look for another challenge.

Happy belated birthday  Smiley, have there been any friends of yours whom you were able to successfully introduce to the world of crypto currencies,

and if so what methods were the most persuasive ?..

I would love an answer to this question lol. And while you're at it @JC, what has been the funniest(or weirdest) reactions from the Baby Boomers and the pre-Baby Boomers generation when you try explaining Bitcoin to them? If you don't mind of course.

Last month I has my 78th birthday ...

Obviously I have a lot of friends who are over sixty, and not many seem to be able to understand the concept of virtual assets, even when I cite the examples of stories, and fiat currencies.

Method I seen thru the years is paper wallets, they might get curious eventually, there's fancier ways too but paperwallets proven cheap and effective if you do it from a safe machine.

Happy belated birthday Jet Cash, I sent you some satoshis for coffee because I envy you, I am not even close to being as old as you are and I have already started losing motivation, but you at this age are still willing to learn and you are into crypto which is by default a thing for "young people". I wish you the best of luck.

I read this thread, and I see some replies when people said that they thought that theymos is 60 years old or something similar. I'm curious, why you thought so? Because when I didn't knew his age, I didn't even thought that he is old man. I thought that he was about 30-40 years old when he started here.
I believe LoyceV can somehow scrape all of the ages shown in profiles [in this forum] then simply lists them here
I could, but it seems excessive to scape 2.8 million profiles just to find out who's the oldest.
And I think it would be pointless thing because only smart part of users have added their age to their profiles. While many others have added some other numbers, which is definitely not their age.

I checked the balance on that address via blockchain, and it looks as if I may have a small amount of BCH sitting there as well. I had to  use blockchain, as my node is out of sync because of the lock down.

It's probably not enough to bother about, but it might be a useful test for shape shift conversions. I'll have to move the Bitcoin first though to protect that.
You'll find an equal amount of BSV on the addy too, which might move too if you move the BCH (due to the lack of replay protection). I've sent you some BCH dust, so that (after moving your Bitcoin to safety) you can send all BCH from that address without moving the BSV.
I doubt it's enough for Shapeshift, but it is enough to convert to Bitcoin Lightning on CoinPlaza.it.

The other two look a bit too young for me.

btw. I'm not a grandfather, as I don't have any children. I might have some when I am a bit more mature, but at the moment I'm just practising the creation process.

as I do a lot of driving, but a coffee would be nice.
Can grandfather @JetCash, send me PM, the official address of the government of the country where grandfather lives.

I will send to grandfather, some of my country's treasury coffee powder, that smells good.
Maybe grandfather, will like the original coffee from my country.

No problem, just consider it a shipment from grandfather's grandson, if grandfather doesn't mind, it might take 3-5 days to get to the destination.
Let grandfather try the aroma of coffee, which is where I live.

Wow - that was unexpected, thanks. I'm not drinking much alcohol these days, as I do a lot of driving, but a coffee would be nice. In fact when I sort out my new hardware wallet, a small token would be handy to test the shape shift software. You done me a favour just by suggesting it, as I checked the balance on that address via blockchain, and it looks as if I may have a small amount of BCH sitting there as well. I had to  use blockchain, as my node is out of sync because of the lock down.

I would be happy to buy you a coffee. Good thing that you don't drink much. I and J__ used to drink in the local pubs. Testing the foods in different pubs with a beer was our hobby. We used to eat in the Indian restaurants too in the week ends. Those were some good memories to remember. I and J__ went for some mountain climbing too few times.

Once you have a BTC address from the new soft, please PM me the address. Have fun and stay safe brother. Enjoy your time around.

You just proved that age is just a number and there is no age bar when there is an involvement of crypto currency. We would have young people as well on this forum who may be 15 years or may be below as well but with you age and you still an active member and taken so much keen interest just reminds me that we all have a very long way to go in our personal life as well as in our crypto community. Wish you a belated birthday and hope you stay fit and fine.
