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

Building on the previous post, older people tend to value the learning curve. They will only try learn and use something new if it clearly gives them a value. They are not as concerned about earning money quick or investing, but in real use in their daily lives.

This is a nice thought. But the point is that for Bitcoin to come into consideration of the old people, they need to have way too many basic skills and ideas in place in the first place. They need to be skilled with the use of computers, should be interested in understanding the blockchain concept or at least the way in which you could transact bitcoins. There could be a lot of questions that come up in their minds and it will not be easy even for themselves to quench the thirst of 'knowing' bitcoins completely if they have not much of an idea of digital transactions.

However, I must say that this gives me an idea that bitcoin 'services' should be started that will help the old people and anyone for that matter to make bitcoin transactions. Since the value of bitcoin is rising day by day and that a lot of scams and theft going around, the trustworthiness of people who come out to help voluntarily is abysmally low in the eyes of many. But certainly such services can come into existence in future.

However as a responsible community we can work it out. All it needs is a good thought and plan to execute. The day we start thinking for others, that day we essentially are happy.

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
