Topic: Am I the oldest member here? - page 4. (Read 1676 times)

these are tips that I should follow and for young people who always look at computer screens for hours. I don't eat carrots every day, but I really like carrots. with your advice and your experience this will be a reminder to me how important it is to maintain eye health and overall body health. I also looked out the window and saw the farthest object to train my eyes to stay focused and look at the leaves of trees to make eyes fresher.

I hope Grandpa is always healthy and can remain active in this forum.

it is a natural thing, you can devote everything in this post.
How meaningful are the people near us.
After they are gone, we can only remember what was done together.
A very valuable life lesson.

I had a friend who was 75 when he died. We lived in the same house (I rented one of his room) for long years when I was in my late twenties and early thirties. He was alone (wife and son left him when son was young, in the school I guess) and died one year after I left his home. I did not know at the time when he died. We did not talk for long time so one day I thought to call him. I could not reach his phone. I did not have any other number to find easily. Then on my dairy I somehow managed to find his brother's number which we exchanged long ago. I called him to know how he is that he is not picking up phone etc etc.

He then said with sorrow that I have a bad news for you. J__ has died on the last February 7 in the hospital (it was sep/oct when I called). He had a massive heart attack and he could not survive. The next thing I remember that I was crying like a baby feeling that I lost a good friend, a fatherly character to me.

J__ was older than my father. I did not have good relationship with my father but J__ was the guy who always thought me the value of going easy with parents when they go old. It did not work at the beginning but when one guy keep speaking about something with you and gives you all the good talk about relationships between a father and son you then starts thinking about it. Yes, before my father died, I and my father had a beautiful relationship and I think it would not be possible if J__ was not guiding me towards it.

I am sorry that I bought some of my personal emotion here. When read the OP and the post I quoted above , it reminded me the past with J__, he used to talk to me how he got interested with this and that.

I hope Jat Cash to live long and explore more in this earth. My love and well wishes are with you my old friend.

May I treat you a drink? ❤️
There is a BTC address in your profile.

And I am 37, I would love to see my grand children 😉

Belated happy birthday

I believe LoyceV can somehow scrape all of the ages shown in profiles ^{[in this forum]} then simply lists them here ^{[at least for those with ages in their profiles, regardless of its accuracy]}.
^{- No one can beat him though, he's 683}

It's simply because of the fact that you're cool/fun and they're not

Lately, I'm having a lot of those feelings

@Jet Cash
Wow then first belated congrats for your birthday last month buddy , hope you got an nice party even in the hard times it was and is !

Never thought that you old like this , you have my fully respect to keep up with things like Bitcoin and the whole Crypto thing .
The most in this Age are even dont know how pc works or how they use it .

Stay safe and healthy and its a pleasure to know and have you here in the Forum .

I know the fractions I rounded for simplicity.

We had one with 16 2/3   33 1/3  45 and 78 to be precise.

they probably think that them, being old, doesn't need to learn something new. they could probably understand it if they are actually interested in it. I remember my grandma(she was 80 when she started asking me) wanting to learn the latest trend in technology. she would ask me or my sister how things work on a cellphone and what apps are trending or being used by me, my siblings and my cousins. so she could stay in touch with all her grandchildren or at least understand what they are doing or talking about. what I love the most about it is that she can understand the latest slangs and laugh with us.


this is what I usually do. at a young age, my eye already started to blur, what's worse is that my job requires me to be in front of a computer screen most of the time. my eyes starts to hurt if I looked at a computer screen for 5 minutes straight.

My current job requires me to focus on the screen the whole day. Moving aroun except for toilet breaks is going to be a challenge, which is easier at home.

I missed my date of birth merit count. I was born in 1942, and I was going to make a joking post about the Dorian Gray effect of merit increasing making you younger. Oh well. I'll have to think of something else.

I'm becoming more and more interested in diet, and the carrots reference was a bit of a joke.  Well carrots contain lutein and beta carotein, and both are antioxidents that can improve eye health, but there is more to it than that. If you are sitting in front of a screen for long period, don't start at it solidly, but look out of a window frequently, and focus on trees and houses in the distance. Get up and walk around now and then to give yourself a break.

btw the first "computer" I worked on was an IBM 421, and that was a tabulator with a plug board.  You programmed it by plugging wires into the pug boards, and this controlled the sequence of operations, and use of accumulators and print operations. Data was stored on punched cards of course.

Kudos to you Jet Cash! This proves age is just a number and will power is the biggest power. You are a gem we have in this community and it feels really awesome to have someone with so much life experiences here! You are an asset to our forum and an inspiration to many. Now I'll also start to eat carrots as you mentioned <3

Thanks for all the kind words, but I'm surprised by the surprise. I gather that current life expectancy should be around 120 at the moment, so I've just hit middle age. Diet, sleep, hydration, and the avoidance of smoking all pharmaceutical and recreational drug, exercise, and hydration are important to a healthy life.sex is important as well ( doing it, not identity ).

I might start a diet thread in serious discussion.

Same bro! With my lifestyle, I assume at age 60, I dont think I can still do what JetCash can do on the internet. I highly salute this guy, for doing internet at his age. The kids now at young age already got some reading glass for too much internet, imagine if they reach that age at certain point.

Jetcash is a living proof that age doesnt matter to technological advancement.

Looking forward for more of your intellectual thoughts. I had fun reading most of your topic on serious discussion section.

Close, but try again. 

You got me by 5.    I used to moderate a forum on Compuserve off my TRS-80 with 4K ram and 1 floppy drive on a Hayes 300 baud Smartmodem.

If you look and study the world along with living in it you see more of the patterns in their entirety.

Thus you get wiser.
As I look back I can remember 1961 first day of kindergarten.

we had a black and white tv 📺
tube radio.
am was big.
fm was not much.
we had a stereo record player

16 ,33 ,45 ,78 rpm speeds.

No calculators.
I used a slide rule while in high school.

Jet Cash predates me by 15 years.

Age does not matter and it applies too even here in the forum. I was actually amaze how you had been so healthy and doing this technology things while others are thinking of vacation as it should be as they retire already in their work. Claiming benefits and pension then enjoying life while they still live. Most of the foreigners here in our place has settled down. Marrying young partners, building a good house and even still manage to have a kids with their partner. However, you were a little bit different OP. I just wish you to live uour life to the fullest base on what you wanted to be.

Being the oldest or not the main point here is thanks to God the creator of heaven and earth for keeping you still to see the 78th birthday of your life. And as well being active on Bitcointalk forum and you also witnessed the covid19 pandemic outbreak that really shout down lots of stuff in the globe. Congratulations

Wow, I'm very proud of you. People of your generation mostly avoid anything new. Where did you get information about bitcoin in the beginning? By the way, I'm a few decades below you. If no one is older than you on this forum then you should get a special badge on your profile. An award for a cool, open-minded grandfather. Anyway, happy birthday and hope you can live longer in prosperity to witness and support the development of bitcoin. Be happy and good luck always.

Sorry to cut in sir or ma pointing out this error 🙈😂: I think the right sentence is: Last month I had my 78th Birthday .
 All the same happy 78th birthday on bitcointalk forum we are happy to still have you active here long life and prosperity and more worthy tokens to the wallet.

Old age is indeed not a guarantee to be wise. Wisdom can be seen from their behaviour and mindset.
Although the age is still very young, but some people have good wisdom compared to those who are older than him.

at the age of 78 do you already feel that you are being very wise?
I certainly have no doubts about the experience you gained during the 78 years, because you are older than Bitcoin and of all the technologies we discussed in this forum.

Speaking of eating carrots, I will consume them more often now, because at the age of 78 you can still type and discuss on this forum without using contact lenses.
That is something extraordinary, only with carrots consumed every day.

May we also become a rare species such as Jetcash who reaches the age of 78 years with a broad understanding of technology and is able to type in this forum without contact lenses.

Hah if you're really 78, then you're old enough to know when and why that myth was invented
