Topic: Another birthday - how about an octogenarian club here? (Read 706 times)

Man, first of all I must say that your videos are amazing and you look really great in those videos. I must say that you look quite good with beard and there is no need to shave it as you have mentioned in one of your posts. Other than that I think you are a inspirational figure for all those people who are into the world of Bitcoin because if someone at this age can contribute to Bitcoin then why not the young ones?

I truly appreciate your efforts and I must say that best of luck with your YouTube channel, and I'm quite sure that I will be among the first subscribers of your channels because I'm truly interested to watch your videos and learn from those videos. It would be a pleasure for me to learn from someone like you JetCash!

You really have a way of pushing forward anything you believe in, I wish you success on this bitcoin video you're about to start to make Bitcoin more popular and I hope the awareness would be something to pull enough crowd... Good luck Mr CASH

Once again for all the helpful advice and encouragement.

I think this thread has morphed away from one suitable for the meta board, so I'll stop posting discussions about the videos in here. I'll start to optimise some short Bitcoin videos, and open a thread on the Bitcoin discussion board. Hopefully thiose will help others to start channels on Youtube, and this will popularise Bitcoin. I think we need to do more to bring Bitcoin to the people with unusual banking requirement ( Nigel farage perhaps ? ). This will probably mean using lightnong, and I haven't used that, so please join me on my journey onto the lightning network.

While it's nice to see a well-polished video, edited and shot in a well-produced location, it's also nice to see a video shot in a real life scenario, with the person being who they are, it gives a lot of originality to the content
Being an octagenarian and a Bitcoin fan, I believe these details are just details anyway (about the beard for example)

The improvements I think it's cool for you to do is to try to reduce the external sound (maybe it's a setting with your microphone or app you're using)
With time and a few videos later you will improve yourself

Your idea of explaining Bitcoin without going so deep into the technical details may attract more people
When you make your youtube channel I will definitely subscribe and follow 

Here are a couple of initial videos. They are unedited, and shot in the Sainsbury's cafe. There is a long way to go before I get to the quality I want to submit to Youtube. I think the beard needs to go, and I need to stop slouching and be a bit more alert. MP4 may not be the best format to use. I'd like to improve the sound recording to avoid having to run it through Audacity and then having to resync it.
This one is just an introductory chat - https://rvshorts.com/test-videos/test1.mp4
and this one is more Bitcoin specific - https://rvshorts.com/test-videos/bitcoin1.mp4

Playing those on a smartphone is rubbish, so I'd advise you not to try it.

Thanks for the good wishes.

It doesn't take much energy to be on this forum. I gave up on flame wars and becoming a keyboard warrior some time ago. I just use the ignore button now, and come here for fun and education. I enjoy trying new projects, and right now I'm working on starting a youtube channel. I'm locked inside the mysteries of audacity to try to improve my voiceovers. I chipped a tooth some time ago, and I'm trying to reduce sibilance and optimise the sound.  I'm also wondering if I should keep my beard, or chop it off and tgry to appear young and vibrant - fat chance of that. I may join a content producers club, and I want to create a variety of videos to use for opening discussions and to gain some advice. One of them will be a Bitcoin opinion, and I'm wondering which topic would be best. One I've thought of is why the Bitcoin blockchain is immutable, and another could be how a virtual product like bitcoin can be a hard asset. Both of those topics seem to be widely misunderstood, and badly explained in general.

Any time I see the name Jet Cash, well, what really comes to mind is, "Oh, that oldest man on the Bitcointalk forum." I have come across that in a few threads, and even on this thread, the only member with a "red half moon" also mentioned that you're an octogenarian, which still gets me wondering how you still have the energy to spend some time here for fun. but it's very cool. By the way, I did forgot to say "happy birthday in arrears🎉" I am late for the party, but I believe it was all good. I wish you more good health.



Cheers 🥂, Dr.Bitcoin_Strange 👺👺

Jet I’m late but happy birthday my friend.  Cheers to many more !

I've just checked my premium bond prize list, and I've won another £50. It wasn't one of the new bonds, but one of the block I purchased right at the beginning. It's come at a handy time, as I got the Volvo estate car running yesterday, and it's going for a test in a few days. I'll need to tax and insure it as well, and then I'll see if it any good for wekend camping. It should be fine, as the rear load area is 8 feet long. If it is comfortable, I'll add a leisure battery, and stay in some of the nature parks. The van is too high to go under some of the entrance barriers. Hopefully, the lesisure battery will allow me to keep in touch with Bitcoin, and bitcoin talk. The big problem could be the absence of a signal on my mobile. I read somewhere that there is a satellite alternative to the normal internet isps, so I need to research that. Unless you guys know about it of course.

Well it's nearly the end of the month, and it will be interesting to see if buying more premium bonds has resulted in me getting another prize.
I did post some time ago that I'm saving up to try to buy a nice chunk of woodland to preserve. Not only would that help the environment, but it would help me to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Bitcoin has started to getr interesting ( well the price movements are). I fancy doing a bit more scalping, but I'm not sure which exchange is the best for UK residents. I used to use Coinbase, but they bbecame a bit difficult, so I gave up on them. I might start a thread to try tro get some advice from you guys.

It's too late to say but still want to say happy birthday Grandpa, You are certainly an important and old man but I think it takes no age to love Bitcoin and you are a respected man, we wish you well so that you can stay with us for more time.

I ain't sure he's going to be open as to gift you a response to that, and rightly so. Privacy issues.

I don't have an idea what Fillippone's age is but I know theymos is a very young dude. He should be in his late 30s, not anywhere close to OP.

Happy Close to a Century Celebration, Jetcash. Those of us coming up the ladder appreciate your strength of character and vibrancy.

Jet Cash, I hope you get there in good health my man.  I'm a little late to your birthday party, but I wanted to give a little howdy-do.

For some reason I thought you registered at least a year or two after I did, but I just checked and I'm way off.  I guess you just appeared on my radar a while after I registered (or my memory is just shot).  I do remember all you did to help newcomers and those who don't speak English very well.  You created a couple of websites for that purpose, but for the life of me I can't remember what year that was in.

As to what bitcoin's price is going to be when you hit 90....don't ask me, because it's probably a 99.99% certainty I'll be wrong by a wide margin.  It's happened every single time I've tried to predict the price more than a week out, so I've just given up the predictions altogether.  But you mentioned the halvings; I don't think they play as large a role as people think as far as price influence goes.  If it was a certainty that bitcoin (or any coin whose mining reward decreases by half) became more valuable right after one, that would be free money for anyone who bought it.  I'm telling y'all, it just ain't that easy to make money.  The halvings are already priced in or won't have the effect many think they will.

I even see Youtubers telling people that bitcoin's supply drops by half after a halvening.  That there says that there's some serious misunderstanding about what's going on, so I'm just saying.  Anyway, I clink my glass to you Jet Cash.  If you're still living the van life I hope it's treating you well.

Health is wealth. Whatever you eat is what sustains you in life for a healthy long span. Everyone has to be mindful of what they eat in life. Thanks for sharing these health tips of yours with us who want to grow healthy as you till old age. In other words, happy birthday Grandpa Jet Cash, I didn't know you to be this old and healthy. Much respect for you sir

Well I'm in such august company here, that I would hesitate to give anyone advice on Bitcoin.
With regards to other investment advice, I'd pass on Nathan Rothschild's advice - don't try to buy at the bottom, and always sell too soon.
Heath is such a broad topic, but here are a few of my gidelines.
- Take the stairs and not the lift or escalator.
- Walk quickly to keep up your metabolic rate.
- Keep your head erect.
- Don't smoke of vape.
- Don't drink cheap alcohol.
- Keep away from doctors unless you have a medical emergency, and drugs ( recreational and pharmaceutical).
- Don't let them inject you with fake vaccines.
- Avoid sugar and sugar substitutes.
- Don't eat seed oils or ultra-processed foods.
- Take your shirt off to gain natural vitamin "D".
- Try to eat grass fed meat and dairy products.
- Check to see if the fruit and veg you buy has been sprayed with chemicals to prolong shelf life, and avoid those that have.

There are probably loads more tips, but those will do for a start.

Belated happy birthday!

I was wondering if you have some advice that you could share to bitcointalk members especially to those people at their early 20's. It could be related to bitcoin, investing, health, career or anything that comes to your mind that you deemed extremely beneficial in the long run.

And I'd love to hear those from you 

Happy birthday to you@Jet cash. 81 is just a number but your words, discoveries and healthy diet and lifestyle is gold and it is a pleasure to have come across a man with such a positive thinking as you. If you are from my region you would be celebrated in a grand style because you have come a long way. Keep living in good health and never stop doing the things that makes you feel happy.

Happy birthday sir, I am very happy to see a sweet Papa still romancing his keys, when my grandma was alive at age 79 she doesn't sight clearly even to operate her phone were like someone trying to pass a thread on the head of a needle that was how she struggles with her phone, though she managed it to 92 years old before she finally give up. Though she was my best friend and playing mate, gist mate.


Please do create the thread because I believe it will be very educative, maybe I can't wait to see what you would put down there.
Again happy birthday sir, I wish you more strength and energy to live more longer.

Happy birthday. 81 is a good number.

I Hope to get to 81 in 15 years and that you are still here at 96.

Not only you LoyceV, but I also came very late and I hope there's some cake left for me too. 

Jet Cash, happy birthday to you, stay healthy.

Although I'm late here, but still I would love to congratulate you on your Birthday. Happy Birthday to you Jet Cash, you're one of the most generous people living on the forum, and I wish you a happy life my senior friend. I appreciate everything you have done for the forum, and once again Happy Birth Day from my side.

Hmm, stratospheric is not that far I think after the coming halving this milestone will be achieved easily. As our elders always recommend think bigger to explore more so the target should be around thermospheric testing at least. Really sir never heard the term stratospheric when I wade through it you know that's what I did (Googled it). I believe in always keeping it simple so from my view of thoughts Bitcoin's valuation in the coming 3 halvings is gonna attract the whole economic cycle's attention because 9 years is a huge time interval not from the view of a person but from the perspective of economic evolution.

Congrats! Even though I'm late to the party, I hope there's some cake left.

I learned a new word today
If you're patient, I'll join the group!

One reason: privacy. Other than that, I would know only one good candidate: I've known her my entire life and she doesn't look like her age at all.

Send him a PM

It's a pleasure to have your here Jet Cash!
I could remember during the covid-19, I lost my septuagenarian and octogenarian granny and grandpa due to the virus that couldn't spare there lives for the family. It was quite a painful period having to say byebye to my octogenarian grandpa that always tend for at all time.
I never knew we have octogenarian figures in this community which I know @theymos and @fillippone would be around this range (septuagenarian/octogenarian)and many others.

Happy birthday to you @Jet Cash for adding another wonderful year to your years and I wish to see you everytime celebrating your birthday in good health even if this is coming late. Stay young and live long to celebrate more birthdays in styles. I am so delighted to know that you are one of the old cats that have stayed in the forum for long adding beautiful colours to the community. I am a semi artist and I hope you don't mind creating an artwork for your fabulous birthday even though this might be coming late.

Love you and sending you the old cat angels to keep you safe!
Happy birthday 🎂 our young, strong and vibrant octogenarian...maybe I should keep writing!

Happy belated birthday to one of the old heads we still have on bitcointalk. Bitcoin is the currency of the future and many around your age are still stuck on the traditional systems, even people my age too. It is an inspiration that at you were able to recognize the potential of digital assets when you were in your late sixties.

Just under a million $.

- Jay -

Wow congrats Mr CASH with the cash at hand...
I have been waiting to know your age, well that was when you said you'd host a competition for users to guess your birthday something like that. Finally we could all say a happy birthday to you Mr CASH
No need to feel bad, you have the man power to invite such peeps and is like we do have such members here on this forum, I'd have invited my grandma 😂 but it won't be possible for now.

Hope you enjoyed your day with less drinking tho.😁🥞🥞
Congrats J.C

Happy Birthday and all the best!

Unless it's a forum for octogenarians, but I guess those are rare too.

Beautiful Birthday Wishes, May the rest of your life be the best of your life. Cheers JT

The destruction of farming can be adjusted, I mean with the right funding, people can still go back to Agriculture/. farming. ( Though, every youngin wants to be the latest tick tocker or vblogger ).
As per the case of theft over our assets and savings, I think it'll even cause more traumatic situations in the future if people are not aware of them finances ( having financial edu ) and controlling them assset. Indeed this generation is in do much debt, I think hard and ponder how they'll gon be tackled without proper knowledge of the edge Bitcoin gives em. More harm has been caused than good for the next set of generations to come.

Hello @Jet Cash, Long time no see, first let me say it first (happy birthday).......! what is this is this the 90th birthday, it's an honor for Bitcointalk who is still your age to be here now, of course your eyes are bright by eating carrots every day.

Legendary grandfather, you don't need to invite Biden to celebrate your birthday, we are still here, who can accompany you in lonely times, even though we are not the same age as you, however, we are ready to cheer you up and clap while wishing you a happy birthday, for you here.

Advice from your children who are still loyal to you, wish you a happy birthday.....!, Hope you are blessed with a long and healthy life that will always be with you and avoid epidemics, always eat vegetables and avoid cigarettes and alcohol.

wow, I will like to wish you a very big happy birthday hitting another age in good health and wellness.
I'm case you have plans of celebrating your birthday, I wouldn't mind sending some dancers that will make your day a remarkable one with lots of fun. I can likewise send some invitations to the government white house so you can have some old cats figures to cheers your day.
It's always a joy in my heart seeing some old cats who had been in this forum for years now maintaining a good reputation and counting there years in numbers of accomplishments.

Happy birthday day once again our amiable old cat!

Oh my god! Happy birthday to the oldest Bitcoiner. Looking forward to many returns of this day 😘
That's your 81st?

Forget about going to internet browser, typing the URL and then visit any website, octogenarians are using a smart phone is even rare.

Wishing the best of it all in your new age, i hope you get the best of achievements you never attained before in your life, 81 years isn't something to just talk and slide away it discussion because of the numbers of years involved doing quality achievements, you've also stand strong on this forum being a motivation to as many as possible and I've comes about your recent threads which also is an evidence to our commitment for excellence performance in business enterprise and in cryptocurrency and bitcoin to be specific, you've been doing well already and i wish you al the best in your new age.

Happy birthday to you with great respect 🙏 I had seen this post few days ago and scrolled pass because I thought it was a mere birthday celebration. But going through the thread again I saw that Theymos posted on the thread, I was forced to revisit Op. This time around I had to use the dictionary for the meaning of "Octogenarian ". Please someone shouldn't laugh at me, English is not my first language.
On seeing the meaning of the word, I had to pay great respect to you in the style of my culture. A way of bowing the head for an elder.
I am in my early 30, if I have to wish, first is to be alive till my 80s, then another which is very impossible is to remain in BTT by then.

Happy birthday, I wish you good health and wellness and that we celebrate your 100th birthday. It is rare to find a person over 50 who understands Bitcoin, so you are legendary and with an experience of about 60 years, it is rare to find a person like you participating in forums.

I would also like to join in the congratulations, and I will say that there are few people like you, not only on the forum but also offline. I've been following your posts since the coronavirus. At a time when many left the forum, you were still promoting a healthy lifestyle and denying all the new inventions of vaccinations. Although I was not lucky and I still had this infection, I firmly decided that I would not be vaccinated additionally.
I want to thank you very much for being with us, for your long years, and for your patience in leading an active lifestyle. Please accept my respect.

Thanks for that comment, it encourages me to be outspoken and politically incorrect. We have a number of problems as a result of the "grand reset" that appears to be accelerating. The destruction of farming and the increasing scasity of healthy food is a major concern of mine. The theft of our assets and savings are another problem. We are fortunate as members of Bitcoin Talk in that we are aware of Bitcoin and its use, and this can be a part of a wealth protection programme. The food issue is much more difficult. We can do a bit by avoiding sugar and seed oils, but toxic chemicals and nano particles are much harder to avoid, even if you buy so called organic foods.

I'm also concerned by the brown new deal being promoted by the greenies through their net zero policies. The only thing that is green about their environmentally destructive ideas is the green naivity of their minds.

Happy birthday Mr. Jet Cash. Reading some of your posts reshapes my thinking and lifestyle. I saw one of your posts about your diet and it made me adjust my consumption of inorganic food and junk. Wishing you a more fruitful.amd healthy year ahead. My father would have been the best to join this club because he was open-minded but he is no more. But not to worry you might have one or two before your subsequent birthdays.

On this Summer Solstice I would like to wish you a belated HAPPY BIRTHDAY mr. Cash!

Its great to have a _semiOff-gridder and someone with a vast life experience knocking around
the BCT Boards, you represent the diverse group of regular posters here on the forum.

🎂

Happy birthday, old timer!

https://www.talkimg.com/images/2023/06/21/HR5Yz.jpeg

Congratulations! I imagine that octogenarians are rare on any forum, so it's cool to have you here.

Wow, happy birthday Jet Cash!!!
I didn't know we had an octagenarian user here on the forum, I am amazed 
I have grandfather and grandmother who are 86, but since they didn't work with computers, they don't have many skills with technology, let alone BTC

I'm very curious and hope you will create the thread, I have heard opinions from just about every type of person about Bitcoin and the reasons for having cryptos, but never from an octagenarian, so tell us about your career with computers and why did you end here in Bitcointalk
The opinions of older people are very valuable to me (always was) 

Lol @Jet Cash and a very big congratulations on your new age. I'm so sorry to hear that you haven't gotten any pal yet in the octogenarian group. I guess there are other members here on this forum who are also in there 80's but wouldn't come out of the shadows due to some personal reasons. But you've done well pal I wish you more and more years even up to your supercentenarian

Looks like you've been a member of this forum for about 10% of your life.  Happy Birthday, you old fogie.

Hi Jet Cash. Happy birthday.
At your age like now, of course I wish you the best.

Anyway, Biden is too young compared to your age stated on the profile that doesn't need to be invited. Maybe inviting one slightly older than Biden is more suitable Just kidding.

By the way, did you know that I, who am younger, can still read the writings of an experienced person like you.

Happy birthday dear Bitcoiner friend!
I wish you a new year full of good times and relaxation.

  I think we could also invite this one to the forum and the club, even if he's still a bit too young perhaps:

It's been fun, and with 60 years computing experience, it was interesting. I wish I had joined the forum a bit earlier. ASICs were just becoming popular when I joined, and I didn't want to invest the money in one. That was a bad mistake.

I got interested in Bitcoin early, because I knew that virtual assets could be hard assets, and Bitcoin had the potential to do this. Very few people seem to understand the possibility of virtual assets being hard assets. For example, they believe that fiat currencies and houses are hard assets, but they are less permanent than Bitcoin. Maybe I'll start a thread to discuss the reasons for my belief in Bitcoin.

Wow! Congratulations on the new age and to say the truth, I never knew someone who has achieve such age is still active here in the forum. Its must have being one hell of a journey for you. And I will be hoping to see you still active when that time of your 90s has been achieved.

Firstly congrats to your new age @81 and hope we all still see you as active as you are now at this stage #nonagenarian, because that would be a massive milestone in one life, in this part of world where am from such acheivement are rarely seen. And for the price of BTC as of that stage I would hopefully speculate it to be around a 100k plus 

happy birthday Jet cash, i don't think problem will occur in 9 years time because the hand writing show that you will still experiencing more than 10 years before problem will occur.

I think the price of BTC will be around $100,000 because you have experienced $67,000 before the price decreased to $26,000, and there is a hope that the price of BTC will reach $100,000 or $200,000 before the end of 9 years or 10 years.

Let's all gather here and say Happy Birthday to Grandpa JetCash.
Being 81 and still on this forum is a great thing.

Even my grandfather at 81 is senile and can't use a cell phone or any device.
But Grandpa JetCash is still here and greeting us all.

We wish Grandpa JetCash good health.
Other members who have advanced age in this forum should certainly join and create a club together in this forum.

Happy birthday Jet Cash!

It is your 81st birthday and you still have very fresh mind, kudos.

It is personal but I'd like to know did you have any plan for bitcoins you own in future? Inheritance to your sons, daughters or anyone you love.
If you want to make your bitcoins as their inheritance asset, what are your plans to execute it in future?

I believe it is helpful for people who want to leave their bitcoins as gifts to their family members too. If you feel good, please share what you plan to do.

Using Locktime for inheritance planning, backups or gifts

Thanks for all the good wishes guys. Now, the problem will occur in 9 years - nonagenarian sounds a bit iffy.

So where do you think the price of Bitcoin will be when I'm a nonagenarian. There will be 3 halvings before that happens, so the price should be stratospheric.

Happy 81st birthday to our oldest member who is still active in every sense of the word🎂🍾🥂

As far as I know, another member could join you in that club, although it seems to me that he is a little younger than you @philipma1957

I read few of your posts yesterday about that satoshi glymp  which i really do not understand then i checked you are a legendary member and most of the legends do not start discussion with solid background information, well then i check your age and i was like nah you must wrote it wrong by intentions because many members have wrote it wrong and many wrote them like in negative numbers but i think if you are celebrating your birthday then you are really an octogenarian and i have no other person in our local community who is an octogenarian maybe our local community member Sayeds56 may falls into that club because once, i saw there picture on tg profile, how i knew he was him that's another story. (Syed56 no disrespect, by making you 80+ years old as many dudes feels it like disrespect when they are related to big ages while they are not.).

Very very congratulations 🎉 sir, i hope you may live a long, healthy, wealthy and happy life. Keep growing and sharing love. I am bookmarking this thread if more octogenarians join here.

Happy birthday, Jet Cash, It's another year added to your age, and it's good you are actually making good use of your time; it being well spent is all that matters.

Maybe Warren Buffett, Dick Cheney, and Bernie Sanders would also be great members of such a group since they are all in their 80s and are US citizens. As for this forum, you are the oldest that I'm aware of. There might be others, but their ages aren't public.

Well I've hit another birthday, and it's lonely in the old fogie team. I'm thinking of starting an octogenarian group here, but I don't know of any other potential members. Why don't you guys recruit some of the elders you know? Maybe I should invite Biden.
