Very informative of you. It depends on the age of the person you want to introduce the cryptocurrency world. As far as I am concerned, only people with the age of 30 years old to the bottom are the most people that are interested in this topic. Beyond that age, they are interested in gold, real estate, long term businesses, and many other things that old people think of including their health.

The problem with most old people is they have already resigned from learning new technology. They would rather live out their lives thinking back on the good old days. I have given up on teaching my 65 year old dad about bitcoin since he keeps on just telling me that he's already happy that I found something that I love doing.

We can make some ways to spread awareness about bitcoin to elder people. The possible way as much as you can the easiest way that you can help people. We can use simple videos, simply way of discussion to the elder people and showing proof on how to use bitcoin. These way we can show awareness and helping people about bitcoin.

    Bitcoin is for everyone,no age limit required as long as they know and understand all about bitcoin. Young people are easy to adopt cryptocurrency because we are in a new and computer generation. Most of the young people know already how to use computers unlike old people,not all old people know about computer that's why i think it is difficult for them to learn and adopt bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

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.

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
That's a great idea. However, I think bitcoin is formed from technology, so usage or investment are somewhat complex for the elderly. They must be familiar with passwords, wallet lock, send and receive process, etc. I think it is not easy for them.

young peoples, old peoples, what ever they are, if they want to use bitcoin, they sure can.
for me, no one cannot use bitcoin.

They can but still they might have a barrier because of lack of understanding what bitcoin actually is. Firstly you have to educate people about it, some might even think it's to much for them as they encounter some unknown area for them. Specially if they are not techy people you have to teach them about keeping their coins safe etc. This can be done if they use some simple app on mobile phone where all they need is to write down mnemonic seed and thats it for them, but you still have to explain them about cold storage etc.

Some of them might not even be aware of bitcoin existence which is why we must work on raising awareness. Other thing is that by crypto reaching ATHs it get media attention and thus more people are looking at what it is. Problem now is that it is mostly seen as an investment, rather than as a "digital currency".


Have you ever tried to show an old person how to use a computer? My guess is no.... Let me tell you it is unbelievably difficult as old people tend to be highly computer illiterate, and most are not open to new ideas. The idea of opening bitcoin to old people is extremely unlikely as it relies on first teaching old people to use technology, something which is already extremely hard. The whole world doesn't need to know about bitcoin, only those that are willing to learn, that is enough.

It all depends on the person, if he or she is up to learning new things or not. But yeah most of them don't like the idea of learning I guess.

You may teach old people about Bitcoin but there are very less chances that they will be ready to invest in this. Personally, I tried to make my father understand about Bitcoin and the huge returns people have got from it in the past. He dismissed all my teachings by saying that this is all scam and he will only invest in real things like real estate. I think old people like to go with traditional methods of investment only.

You can explain the benefits of bitcoin and quiet days in old age, because bitcoin will be a source of income when retired. With that he may be able to accept bitcoin, because the benefits of bitcoin can be used to meet the needs of life.

Not only for old people but other as well, I think that we have to create better nad friendlier User Interface because you want it to be something simple that most of the people can understand by intuition. We know that "old" people use mobile phones and computers today - what we need is to create something really simple

Do they need it? I believe that they will not be able to do it, because they are accustomed to paper money

Old people are more or less not aware of the bitcoin depending upon the demography that we talking about. I mean this depends on the demographic region because lets say we are taking about the oldies from the Western Hemisphere then you will most probably see developed countries and with that said they will have more knowledge about the use of Internet which is basic need for them to get started with bitcoin. Plus they are also very independent personnel as compared to the rest hemisphere people. The rest which includes asian countries where old people are coming from the era where they never saw the internet at all and thus lag behind the understanding of the whole thing or basic thing the is internet. We should start with that one first and then we can soda the awareness amongst the old people.

In the image below you can see how the usage of internet itself is varying from asian countries to developed countries.

So letting them know about the Bitcoin can vary according to this data because they must know how to use internet first.

the arrival of bitcoin is something that is done naturally, a mass effect, it will go all alone in the heads of people, so it is useless to try to argue to convince some people.

Its really useful to those oldies that they can be able to used bitcoin. They can be used it as their hobby. Start explaining them what bitcoin is in a simplest way then start discussing how to do bitcoin .Guide them everytime they want to ask something since this people are not so techky. Benefits of it is they can used it as past time as well as earning money.
