I think one way to spread awareness of bitcoin to older people is to introduce it to them through seminars or conventions or even one on one discussion. Another is by showing them how bitcoin changed oir loves and helped us financially so they will begin to see bitcoin as something positive. We can never deny the fact that most old people are skeptic when it comes to digital investments or certain technologies unless they are really open to certain changes and willing to learn and adopt to it, so they basically need to have enough knowledge about it before they begin to trust and dive in it.

Bitcoin is for everybody, so it includes also older people. It only depends on how active, participative and updated they are in hi-technologies. It is not totally 100% who wants to be a member or want to invest bitcoin, one factor that really affects to their "No" and "Don't" (learning and knowing Bitcoin) is their health, willingness and capabilities to work.

I think it is impossible for the elderly to participate in bitcoin investment. They are pursuing stability. Bitcoin investment is volatile. It does not have stable income.

Bitcoin is not limited to investment, it can be used, for example, to gift your grandchildren and eventually, if it reaches a critical mass in adoption, can also be used as payment. The key is to offer simple and valuable tools that elders can use daily.

How to spread awareness of Bitcoin in a way so that old people start to use more bitcoin?
Knowing that some old people like our grandmothers and grandfathers doesnt want to associate their lives in new technology or being stack in social media is verry hard for them to focus. But by explaning to them how can bitcoin change their life, maybe it will caught their attention.First step is by being a good example. Show them how succesfull you are now and let them be the one to question you how you become succed and take the opportunity to explain.

I would think that too, but also the technical brarriers need to be removed.

Nowadays, at least in my country, older people have no problems with paying with cards like visa or mastercard, they just do the contactless payments and that is it. But why? Because it is easy to the extreme! And if (when) the barriers to use bitcoin are removed, I am positive that it will be embraced by older people too.

Also what I mentioned in my earlier post, we need to educate older people not to radicule them when they have questions or doubts.

Bitcoin can use of everyone but it is true if you discuss bitcoin in elders is very hard because some of the elder cannot use technologies and they will not understand how bitcoin works. If you want to teach bitcoin u need a lot of patience and lot of knowledget o teach them how to used bitcoin interms of their capabilities.

Bitcoin is not for old people since they dont have knowledge about internet and advanced technology. Peope with enough knowledge about bitcoin should  only invest in this.

It's not young and old, male or female but the basic understanding of money is enough to explain Bitcoin to anyone. The best way is to demonstrate the actual transaction if possible and explaining the back end process in easy to understand language. It's not a tough job to explain Bitcoin to old age people but millennials adopt this rapidly as compared to that of old age people.

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.
I think they are able to learn, but they have to understand and apply for a long time, and the bitcoin market is moving too fast. I think many elderly people will not be able to withstand this change. Learning ability is only one of the reasons, but More importantly, can they afford the stimulus? I'm a bit skeptical.

I also often think if my parents also invest in bitcoin, it will benefit a lot. But making parents aware of bitcoin is not that easy, we have to explain first about bicoin and how it works, because most parents do not understand about the internet let alone about bitcoin.
Actually this will be a bit difficult, as most bitcoin users are young people who easily understand how bitcoin works, so it would be difficult if we explained about bitcoin to our parents.

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
Literally it's true, it really hard to discuss to them regarding this subject because aside from the fact that they haven't really know what's going on on the world of technology they are also old to consider this kind of business. And also I guess it also really hard for them to understand what bitcoin truly is.

I think that to spread awareness to old people, bitcoin needs to have advertisements or commercials. Since old people most likely stays at home watching television. Also, it should be on the newspapers. Advertisements on the social media might do because some old people have their accounts and spends their time browsing through their newsfeed. But for old people to start earning bitcoin, it might be hard. Because they might not understand on how bitcoin works.

How to spread awareness of Bitcoin in a way so that old people start to use more bitcoin?
it would be very difficult to convince parents to start using bitcoin and invest there. maybe we should use a language that is easier to digest them. considering the parents are very limited about the sophistication of internet technology
I think bitcoin is for anyone who wants to learn and know what bitcoin is. as long as used properly and correctly, then this bitcoin can be for all age above 15 or 16 years and above.
this is something we should be able to fix. if bitcoin is used only for those who want to learn, bitcoin usage will become constrained. we need to invite many people from young to old to use bitcoin. and if that we can realize. bitcoin will become very common and widely used

Introducing bitcoin on old people is like teaching them how to use computers, smartphones, or anything related to technology. Bitcoin also uses technology. It may very hard at first, but once they have already known what bitcoin is all about. It would be a big help for financial status of a family if we encourage our parents, our old loved ones to invest on bitcoin.

spread to old people that bitcoin is easy, more convenience and reliable to use, some other old people are getting tired/hate to buy things in a stores and malls. instead of going to that place teach them on how to buy online, all things can be buy online and the payment is into bitcoin. many online stores are accepting bitcoin as mode of payment, but not at all accept. tell them that this is a another good way of investment program that can earn profits by holding it. and so on. there are so many ways to let old people learned about bitcoin.

Old people is very difficult to convey information about Bitcoin. Because, many think that this is a financial pyramid and in general do not know anything about the crypto currency.
You need powerful arguments for the elderly person to start using Bitcoin.
