bitcoin free anyone can have it but we have to understand how to get it and how to menggukannya so if the parents want to have this bitcoin is very good because it can be used as a pension and future savings and the point is everyone has the right to have bitcoin without having to look at the age Wink

How to spread awareness of Bitcoin in a way so that old people start to use more bitcoin?

I think spreading awareness for the technologically inclined old people is not a problem at all.

the problem is how to convince the technologically illiterate to get into the game.

they are those who want to kill bitcoin and always campaigning for the fall of it.

if they get on board without even contributing, things will change.

It's more difficult to share knowledge about bitcoin to old people because they obey technology than to teenager, to teach them you need more patience but i'm sure if they understand it's make extra income for them. Everyone can get bitcoin it doesn't depend on age, occupation and etc, so everyone who understand the system can get bitcoin.  Smiley

How to spread awareness of Bitcoin in a way so that old people start to use more bitcoin?

The thing is bitcoin is dependent on computer and technology, the things that old people are having a hard time using. This will be a hindrance for them to progress or to even start any bitcoin activity. Still, I do believe that everything can be learned and if they are willing, they could learn it as well.

Old people take more time to understand new technologies, but I don't see a reason why they wouldn't get bitcoin and can't use it. It's easy to understand ideology behind it and they don't need to know how the code works to use it. The most pertinent problem is simplicity to use Bitcoin, we need more and more services making crypto more user friendly and intuitive. It's possible and we're slowly getting there. We have now simple buy and sell services like Changelly, then Coinbase is trying to implement very simple wallet where you can have everything at the one place. In combination with regulation, old people can become more confident to join crypto.

It is very hard to encourage  old people to use new technologies.

I do not think older people are interested in bitcoin. Most of their ideas are conservative. The elderly in my family have experienced war. They have experienced poverty, starvation and coldness, so they are more frugal, and I do not Think they will put money into bitcoin because they can not accept the risk.

How to spread awareness of Bitcoin in a way so that old people start to use more bitcoin?

I think mostly of the old generation won't be able to understand and use bitcoin, maybe it's because they are not all fond of technology like some of them don't even know how to use computer but maybe for those educated olders we can help them to be aware of bitcoin by showing them an actual proof maybe you can show them your bitcoin wallet and make them see what can you make out of bitcoin.
 It's hard to convince them because they see bitcoin just like the scams in networking maybe an actual proof can make them listen to us.

Bitcoin is for everyone. Elder people tent to be more secure and they are sceptic when you first tell them. If you have the good arguments then maybe they start to believe in it
A good opinion and I like your opinion.
Bitcoin is for all good children, adults and even older people can use bitcoin as long as they understand about bitcoin and understand about bitcoin so they can follow bitcoin in a confident state.

I think bitcoin is for every one not only for the teens who are related to the technology or gadgets. Bitcoin is for the people who are willing to earn and for the people who have dreams and want to claim it. Is not about age is all about hard work and patience.I think their is also a advantage of being old in bitcoin industry because they are experienced person and they have more patience rather than teenagers. And earning money has no age limit as long as you can so dont give your self any limitation. It is good to have source of income even your in the late stage of your life rather than doing nothing and ask for help to others.

There is no age barrier when it comes to bitcoin and aging people are no exemption. If they have the basic knowledge in operating computers and/or smart phones coupled with the basic knowledge in bitcoin then they are good to go. You have to just give them a little persuasion.

You can't, 99.9999% old people won't use new technologies.
Better spread awareness of bitcoin among younger population rather than thinking doing it among old generation  Wink
Why not try if you have the oppurtunity and have seen any interest in them? Your statistics is purely baseless. There are several older people who are into cryptocurrency/ new technology. Even some of them are more knowledgeable than other millenials.

Actually, Bitcoin is really for all for as long as you have capital for investment. We should increase their awareness that Bitcoin can change our lives to better and helps us to save for the future.
Many people have already earn so much money and I all to be inspired by that so that they can experience it.

You can also bitcoin those who have no years for bitcoin how many years you can be able to bitcoin just knowingly worn. and bitcoin is not a year of choice as long as you know it. With this year’s incredible rally in bitcoin’s valuation driving it into mainstream global financial conversation, many established economic figures were called on to share their thoughts on the cryptocurrency.

I think bitcoin does not look at age. However, not many parents are interested, understand, or even invest bitcoin. That's because parents tend to prefer calm than take the risk of investing bitcoin that is fluctuating.

I think bitcoin for elderly people is not friendly for them in the sense that bitcoin and the crypto is very technical. On top of that, they might be prone to hacker attacks since they might be lacking technical know how on how to protect their wallets all the time which may cause their wallet to be empty.
I agree that the ability of the elderly to accept younger strong, they may think that virtual currency is non-existent things, they are more willing to believe the real thing, rather than can not see the touching. And most of them do not know computers, do not know how to operate and protect their wallet.

In technical aspects, Maybe not for everyone.  Elders are already or some of them have already closed their minds in this type of ideas. Giving it shot is a good idea but a long patient is required. We all know that we can't win any arguments against them.

The idea of introducing Bitcoin for elders is good and quite unique. The only problem that we might encounter is the acceptance and the language barrier (Elder's language). The challenge here is that Elders are against technology (Maybe not all of them but the majority), Tech. advancement for them is like cancer that damages the community.

The complexity of the industry would really give them a hard time to understand it, Bitcoin is not that user-friendly after all. They will be aware but most likely they'll ignore it.

I think the value of bitcoin promotion to the elderly is not that great. I believe that most elderly people will not accept bitcoin because bitcoin is a virtual currency and the amount involved is high, so there are not too many people willing to go Involved in bitcoin investment, after all, the elderly pay more attention to stability.

I think old people is really hard to learn about bitcoin. We know that bitcoin i a digital currency and we need to use not hi-tech gadget. So before we teach old people regarding bitcoin let first teach them how to use gadget like cellphone or computer. I think its too late for them to learn about bitcoin.
