Age 56

I was a gold & silver nut till just a few months ago. I have a background in computer programming, economics, and mathematics. Self-educated, when I was a kid, I read almost every book in the non-fiction section of the city library. After I read a serious article about bitcoin, I realized that it was going to change the world. Other people my age just can't seem to grasp this new idea though.

After thousands of years, automobiles made horses obsolete for transportation.

Now, after thousands of years, Bitcoin is making precious metals obsolete as a store of value.

I love science & technology. Glad to be alive at this time in history.


Dammit I was sure I was oldest - I'm 49.  And like you, I'm loving this - its like being present when iron first appeared at the end of the Bronze Age.  We know things will change dramatically but we don't know what Smiley

you should create a poll with age ranges. i'd be interested in learning more about the BTC demographics.. we had another thread with a poll of male to female ratio and it was 9:1, as in every 10 people there are 9 males here.. sample size was over 100 people.

my guess is that it's male, and disproportionate number of people under 30..

female male 1:9?
You wish!!!!!!!!!

It might be closer at 1:99.

22, though I've been told I'm "old-at-heart." (in older age, this seems to've replace the more euphemistic "mature for my age.")

I'd guess the final euphemism, "old-at-heart," will be replaced by "bitter old bastard" once/if I hit 40. At 60, I'd guess the only question left would be "why aren't you dead, yet, you emotionally-crippled piece of shit?"

Anyway, I feel I should follow the "haha, I'm serious" joke with a lighter one.

Q: Why do old people claim young people think they're immortal but then go on to say "'whatever-age-you-implied-was-old' isn't old"?
A: Because everyone's full of shit. We're all already dead and just waiting to realize it.

Early 50's.

Like the Internet, at first use tended to be the twenty somethings, computer savvy, and then suddenly quickly adopted by the larger community.

I am thinking the average age may be rising, not so many young people have a thousand dollars to buy with.  Bitcoin certainly has captured the imaginations of a wider variety of people from all walks of life this past year or so.

23, out of university with my MA; I was heading into a JD program, but I'm taking another year off to see what I can do with the virtual currency industry. 2014 is going to be a hell of a year.
Pretty much similar case this side. 21, graduate and now full time into BTC. Doing everything to secure a future with this cryptocoin.
