I’m early to mid 30’s. Won’t reveal my exact age but yeah, those of us with a half decent number of coins do seem to be over 30.

How much is a decent number of coins? Surely JJG could answer this question.

I'd like to think that the majority of twenty-something year olds out there are learning about finance, investing and saving extra money, buying bitcoin like crazy, etc.

But historical patterns of age-related behavior tell us something different.  Undecided
Of course they are bloody well not. They are being stupid teenagers, well into their 20s, just as I was.

Due to the ease and safety we live in, people are staying kids well past when they should or ever did. The few of us here? Either old enough to have lived in a harder time, or extremely fucking lucky to have experienced bad shit that advanced our brain development.

Probably, I can be an exception to the rule.

What Ibian says makes a lot of sense to me based on my experience. I left my parents' house at 16 against my will, which forced me to mature early. Although the years of my youth were overwhelmingly difficult, in retrospect those experiences positioned me today in a tremendously favorable situation with respect to the majority of people of my generation (I am in the mid-20s).
I started buying bitcoins in 2012, when I was still in university, and although the budget of a university student is small, the extremely cheap prices of that time allowed me to accumulate a "decent" amount of coins  (On the other hand, despite have spoken with many people about bitcoin, there is nobody of my generation that has shown any interest, probably because of what Ibian mentions: they are young, they lack difficult experiences and still many live with their parents).
That's why I'm curious ... how much is a "decent amount" according to the vision of people older than me? According to my perspective, a decent amount is between 10 and 99 coins.

exciting and creepy at the same time...like having a boner you are ashamed of

Going on the average age of posters in this thread, there's no longer such a thing as a boner to be ashamed of any more for most. All of them are a gift.
It's weird to think of myself as young in the post-mid-30s bracket, but I have noticed the same thing.

Always the same problem : More boners, less coins. More coins less boners... .

The thing is, more bitcoins will solve almost anything. If you want more boners, bitcoin can take care of that.

Most sensible ideologic thought ever! So there is hope for all! :-)  And on a sideline, little hope for Soros, Dimon, Buffet and Roach.

We're probably about the same age. And I notice as well. =|

Who cares? Technology is a genie that once let out of the bottle can not be put back in. It will be with us forever. Bureaucrats and systems of record and title transfer come and go. In the long march of time even mountains are reduced to dust by the simple flowing of water. Technology is like the water and Bureaucrats are not even close to being mountains.
No I get what you are saying. Perhaps blockchain will eventually find it's way into a few other places here and there where it makes sense to have it.

Though if the next 30 years go by and I still can't legally transfer a car title to another person for free via a decentralized blockchain solution, it won't mean much sweat to me as I'll probably be close to death anyway, lol.

If it does happen in the next 30 years it will be because political jurisdictions are in a sort of competition with one another. I wouldn't be surprised to see smaller jurisdictions implement as much of this kinda stuff as they can in order to attract expats.

IoT...

 to add and verify any new tills and its effortless for them. 

Idk. This is meme kinda true. But there is a huge range of applications out there where we dont NEED blockchain, but it would still be really cool!

I would love to have my vehicle ownership represented by ...

Yes and in a perfect world, this is how it should work. You should have the power to transfer title of ownership of something you own directly to another party without a third party in the middle. But that's the problem. When state-run Bureaus of Motor Vehicles have centralized control of title issuance, transfer, and registration of motor vehicles, and of course make revenue off of that activity, then why would they ever relinquish that power back to the individual? They would make so many excuses has to why that activity should be state-run and not decentralized.

Also, I wouldn't doubt that state-run BMV's will eventually try to implement some sort of blockchain solution behind the scenes as a 'calling card' to say that they are trying to change and do something. But I don't think it would be more efficient that what they have today.

I believe something like this already exists. Started in 2007 in Estonia, called Keyless security infrastructure. There are companies now trying to use in other markets as well

I'd like to believe that the majority of twenty-something year olds out there are learning about the Fed and central banking corruption, the world of finance, investing and saving extra money instead of acquiring more debt, and buying bitcoin like crazy, etc.

A very interesting stat and I've no idea why. Maybe it's staying power and the ability to look beyond that particular day's pump and dump.
A long term horizon is part of the K psychology, and that is partly a result of time. Huh. Maybe getting hit by a bus did more good for me than harm.

There is a strong correlation between conspiracy theorists and low cognitive capability.  Make of that what you will.  
hmmm. many conspiracys are later found to be true. wake up people

"Many" = "<0.01%"

uh...no

However, regarding the moon landings specifically, it is true that many of the Apollo photos were faked or altered, which in retrospect was an extremely bad move as it has provided endless grist for the denier mill.

I find it very difficult to believe the moon landings were faked.

Considering the political environment of the time, the USA was in a race against a technically competent opponent full of very smart people, don't you think Russia, China, or any other country capable of doing so, would have called out the USA immediately? Embarrass the shit out of the USA by proving mathematically/showing that they did not in fact do what they said? I've never read or heard of such.

Edit: Regarding the photos, those I have no comment on. They could have been faked, sure; the actual landings though, I don't believe so.
Acquire sufficiently powerful telescope.
Look at the moon rover.

Done and fucking done, next empty item please.

Your bed?



This guy has a sufficiently powerful telescope.

There is also a collective/group of people with powerful telescopes who share images and footage of the moon.

The weird thing is they all seem to be of the same conlcusion

..."There is buildings on the moon"...

more conspiracy, who knows
