The older generation is having a hard time coping with new technologies, and these include crypto currencies like bitcoin. This can be too complex for them. I think its better if we start introducing bitcoin to the younger generation.

How to spread awareness of Bitcoin in a way so that old people start to use more bitcoin?
Honestly, teaching elderly people are so hard because they were not born in millenial age or era and they can not easily adopt technology. I have been experiencing it with my relatives and my parents.

Let them see the stuffs that we are running here. How we handle things in here. The secret is to get their attention and open their mind about the possibilities that we are working on so they on their own would work on how to learn about bitcoin

I do not think that this will be relevant for the elderly. It's very difficult for them.

I think is very harn to teach old people about bitcoin, exception they already have knowledge about internet, why? Because before they know bitcoin they should know more about internet first. Internet is main media to learn more about bitcoin, sell and buy bitcoin, the risk of bitcoin, etc. So I sugest you should be patient to teach old people. some people say, is very difficult to learn in old days, seem like carve on the rocks

Age does not matter here in Bitcoin as long as oldies are interested and could understand by all means to get involve especially in forum. Oldies must be knowledgeable in using their computer so it will be easier for them to use it. I would prefer our old folks to learn also trading.

I think this bitcoin is not just for parents only, children above 15 or 16 years old and also have to be introduced with this bitcoin investment, why I can suggest like this because I see from this bitcoin we will be able to get a more independent work and can more to be careful to do any of that later.

I think its a bit difficult for older ones to learn about bitcoin because some of them do not know how to use computer or electronic gadgets.Older people usually dont spend their days in front of computer, tablet or phones. They used to take some rest most of the days. But if they really wanted to learn, i think they wil still have time for it. But it will take them a lot of time. And for them to be aware, we must educate them how bitcoin works and what it is for. Hope they will be interested on using it.

Not for the old folks in my family. Cryptocurrency is way too technical and complicated for them.  I'd just let them enjoy their retirement. I don’t want them to experience the stress bitcoin investors are having right now.

Not that complicated if someone is managing the investment for them. I have seen 80 year old pensioners investing in mutual funds and equities, without even knowing the meaning of a stock exchange. The portfolio managers do everything for them, starting from the selection of the mutual fund to the date of profit booking.

This is a good idea. We need good bitcoin portfolio managers who are not scammers.

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

Bitcoin is for everyone but I think they ignore what I am saying to them because old people they don't want to use gadgets and its hard for them to understand what the use of bitcoin for now and in the future because all they want is to go some quiet place and inhale the fresh air. They no longer appreciate the modern world.

We can not say that old people dont know how to use technology. There are still few who know how to use them. But to join bitcoin is different idea. Cryptocurrency or digital currency are terms only milenials can understand . Not even all can understand this. Thus, i can say, old people are not too knolegeable enough for technology and specially in bitcoin as well.

spread to the right way like spread it like a personal message to them to they can understand what bitcoin gives to there life and how much good bitcoin.
I think that is a difficult way because most parents can not use the internet and it is very disturbing for them if we tell how bitcoin works can only be done via the internet.

Yes it will not be complicated since you are the one or the younger one will handle the bitcoin of the older person.  But if the user of bitcoin is kind of old, I think it will be hard  for them to manage their accounts.  It is needed to memorize passwords, email, and keys.  And using gadgets at their age will be a toll to them.

No problem, as long as they have the willingness to study about bitcoin. Also if they have the determination and hardwork to do it. No oldies are exempted if it is needed.

What do you mean by parents with no age limit or limited age limit, because the way of thinking and thinking of each parent with increasing age is reduced or have been lazy to think. and bitcoin does not look at age as long as it can still understand, understand and can use it .. so I think younger thinking is more feasible because tarap thinking is still good because bitcoin requires insight and understanding easily and understandable about bitcoin and this forum.

Make it as simple as possible. Put it in layman's terms since not all of the elderly we know is capable of capturing the idea of cryptocurrency. Make it likr you're teaching a child how to earn and use money wisely. All it takes is a little imagination and patience to curb these golden pillars to invest on their own.

It is a good idea, elder people specially those who are retired already have more time than any of us. If they introduced to bitcoin it may become their hobby or they will give their full time to it. The more probability that they will earn more.

Bitcoin I think it’s not just for the old man, but bitcoin also can be used by young children, because of all the could use bitcoin for they understand in the use of her because parents well that can not use the internet then can not be using bitcoin.
I also not was my parents can be said still in the teen but I’ve been using bitcoin as an additional my income
