This bull will try to shake you off. Hold tight!
Right now i am 21, and i was about to start mining bitcoin 3 years ago with one of my friends, but we did nnot have a place to put the mining rig, so we asked my parents, if we cut set it up at my place, they talked us out of it, and now i am back.
Sorry they talked you out of it. :/ Great you follow your own instincts now.

I heard about bitcoin from friends since 2011 but had rejected it. I sympathized with friends who lost a lot of money after the collapse in 2011. Middle 2012 my passionate friend was continuing to bring it up and I finally started to bring up my strong counterarguments I had against it (government clamp down & deflationary nature). He made me see they were invalid and since then it basically has taken over my life.
Upon research I noticed that another friend had sent me a link about Bitcoin already in middle of 2010! I don't even remember having checked it out. I guess one needs some free space in his head as well to be open for it.

28, I love the concept of Bitcoins and the rush of the adventure...
In my thirties. I first heard about Bitcoins and the deep web, and didn't think much of it. Several years passed, then I heard about Litecoins. I needed Bitcoins to acquire these (wasn't a miner). That was when I learned more about Bitcoins.
23 and I wanted an easy way to accept free lance jobs and get paid.
I'm gonna stay anonymous, but I love the idea of bitcoins, and that's what got me into it.
28, I deal with compliance in the finance industry... heard about bitcoin on zero-hedge and have been hooked ever since. I also needed a freedom outlet after Ron Paul retired
Thank you for pointing this out. This is not because of drugs. It's just me.
28. I wanted to find a "hole" in bitcoin, as I fought about it as a ponsi sheme.
Seems like the first confession that Silkroad brought them to bitcoin.Seriously, check your grammar! Three mistakes in one sentence is too much.

I'm from the UK, over 30, and had read about Bitcoins here and there. Ordered a Butterfly Lab Jalapeno, but of course I don't have it yet. Started to get serious after the Cypriot banking crisis. Have been lurking around these boards for about 3 months now.
Oh, yes, mining Bitcoins seems a good excuse to buy cool hardware

im also in the uk. the cypriot crisis cost me a fortune too. bitcoins seem to have been around for ages, its only now ive been forced to diversify. given the current state of world economics, wish i could go back a few years
I'm old enough 
and started about 2 weeks ago. Laptop is not good for this even when it is a gaming laptop so i will build a mining desktop soon.

This is just a post of interest, to see what kind of people there are here, I assume.
Exactly. I think it helps us to make much more sense of the Bitcoin landscape when we know the average age of BTC users. I also personally like demographics. I want to know if BTC is only a new generation thing, or there are people of all ages/socio-economic strata/countries here
23 and I am interested in Bitcoin because of Ecommerce. Selling worldwide now is bit of a hassle, but with bitcoin, it is so much easier.
51, and i plan on using the coins to pay for my shady activities with ladies of the night.
LOL!
23, and the mediahype when btc hit 100 USD.
I haven't burned myself or made some serious returns yet. Never mined anything or have any deeper knowlege about programming.
