Guys, what do u consider old. Becareful with the term, whatever number you consider old you will get there quicker than you think, if you are lucky
It's hard for old people to use Bitcoin because most don't know how to use a computer or any electronic item..

My grandparents can not use a PC or a smartphone so I don't think bitcoin is for them. There are elder people who can manage this so it's worth teaching them about bitcoin

Yes bitcoin is definitely for everyone with no age limit. As long as they are still capable and interested with bitcoin and how it works then I think being old is not an issue at all. Plus bitcoin is not really physically demanding but time consuming but I think time is not an issue for old people cause most of them have nothing to do at all. I think learning bitcoin even if your old gives a positive effect, for it makes you think even more which makes your brain sharper. Instead of doing nothing, they will have something to keep them busy. Consent to your opinion, I taught my parents' computers and smartphones for a week, and they still forget that their learning ability has gradually declined.
Actually for parents who already have a business or for those who have become successful entrepreneurs, will not worry anymore about the financial problems. Maybe they will only monitor their company or business and do not bother about other things. But maybe for businessmen who engaged in the field of economy or a particular field need to monitor and learn about the world of crypto. Not all parents have to close their eyes and do not want to know about crypto, maybe some of them must still learn the development of the era so as not to go bankrupt. For young people, of course this kind of knowledge should be learned because everything is now online.

Bitcoin doesn't select the age, People now a days are very knowledgeable about computer's and other technologies, Still oldies are also welcome to join in crypto environment, They plays vital role to raise up cryptocurrncy. We need to spread the good news through social media's and other medium of spreading info's to earn bountiful benefits brought by cryptocurrency, It makes our life run simpler:)
Most oldies still prefer physical cold hard cash over anything virtual like bitcoin or cryptocurrency

How to spread awareness of Bitcoin in a way so that old people start to use more bitcoin?
Make the newspaper full of campaigns related to bitcoins. Old people aren’t much interacted with this technology and social media. They prefer to read newspaper. So why not giving them every information on their page, right front of their eyes.

This will give a big boost to the social camping of bitcoins and they will be more followed by the people who have even little knowledge about them.
You already said it that the old people are not interested with the technology and social media and i think that even though it will catch their attention and curiosity then it will still be a no for them to accept bitcoin or even use it because it will be complicated to them to use bitcoin since it is related to technology and it is not for their generation.

Maybe they can enhance it to teach them how to use the new generation of technologies like computers laptops and gadgets for them to know it how to learn it and understanding it thru themselves
But it seems that is quite difficult. Some older generations lack understanding of technological developments, my parents even just use their handphones to make a call. But my parents always support me, because I always tell them about my investment development in cryptocurrency, even though they do not fully understand.
Consent to your opinion, I taught my parents' computers and smartphones for a week, and they still forget that their learning ability has gradually declined, but I will not tell my parents that I have invested in the development of cryptocurrencies because they will worry about me and will not agree with me because their thoughts are conservative.

Bitcoin has very imported for old people Beasley they can't do job and can do hard work physically. Bitcoin is very easy because bitcoin work does not need hard working physically. The old people can do work while they are sitting in their home even in their bad they can do. They can arrange time for the bitcoin work and can earn good income. Also some old people have saving so if they invest that saving in the bitcoin it will generate income for them while if they keep it their will now benefit.

I'm pretty sure that it's going to be a hard time to get old people to use bitcoin. I've seen many grandmas and grandpas that does not even want to use smartphones or pc even their families gave them to. Maybe only a small percentage will do it.

Bitcoin could be used for all ages, simply it has no age restriction. As long as you know how to manipulate bitcoin or how it runs in this economy, you will be free too go. Which made its only requirement is for you just to read. What matters is how are you going to strategies your own bitcoin. If then you know how to cope up with that thing, age won't hold you back. An awareness isn't really required at all, there is no need to be restricted. What matters is for you just to deal its cycle.

I think if we hold a large number of bitcoin, sell them to buy house, car... then show your parent...
Actions do speak louder than words

For me, I will introduce bitcoin to old people by telling them first the value of bitcoin. Then I will tell them the value and benefits that they can get when they use bitcoin and lastly I will tell them the steps on how to use bitcoin. Bitcoin is suitable for old people because they will get money from bitcoin. If something happens like accident, they can get money from bitcoin.

In my opinion, the elderly should pay more attention to the elderly. As they grow older, their learning abilities will gradually diminish. Maybe the young people can learn something in a day. The elderly can take days or even months and they are more focused Is to enjoy life later life, I think there is no need to toss them.

I think the most older people are a big problem for the most new technology. They have always negative attitude and just telling anybody around how bad it is and they wont use it. So they creating a lot of FUD arround without even understanding the technology. So bringing the blockchain technology to the old people will be one of the biggest challenges to get accepted, and it will not happen any time soon.

I doubt if the elderies would still find interest with bitcoin,espescially with the commitment and time you have to give for you to profit.

Maybe if you can find a way to make bitcoin's features (can be used in transactions) more easier, then I think it would be possible.

I do not think that elderly will be interested in anything that is connected with risk. You should agree that Bitcoin trading and investments into it are risky things. Old people need stability, thus they will not deal with crypto. Probably 2-5% of them might trade, but not more.

Moreover, there is a huge potential for gains in bringing older people to the crypto ... this can also be a good business.

Firstly, since there are no some kind of centralized rules like age restriction in Bitcoin,I strongly believe that the old people can be taught about Bitcoin,though it might require extra time to pass the message across and the acceptability from them might be quite low as some of them will insist on their old way of doing things not welcoming any change.
