25% of Western seniors are awakening? So intriguing. They should have realized how drastically the economy has changed. Bitcoin is the future of our financial systems, not just a trend! Its humorous and sad that they needed a survey to figure this out.

Older individuals are only now learning about Bitcoin because they've been ignorant for so long. What will you instruct? We should; not out of sympathy, but because is important. The digital age is coming, and anyone who doesnt know about it is at risk, regardless of age.

Find interested folks and teach them without spoiling them. Repeat Bitcoin's importance and position in the financial system. What about the rest? Let them keep their old money beliefs. Their error.

We should spread the correct information about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency, not just in the old generation but in every generation, to prevent the misconception that Bitcoin is only used for money laundering, investment scams, and other fraudulent information. Teaching them is not mandatory, and we should open it up to everyone whenever we converse with older adults or other generations. We should also limit ourselves from always talking about bitcoin investment because you will only look like it is shilling bitcoin to them. We should only make conversations about Bitcoin for those interested in learning more about it so that it would be a good use of our time explaining it to them without getting ignored.

In my circle of activity, the majority of the first ones to hop into Bitcoin investment are the older people that have money to invest in Bitcoin.  While young adults are busy playing and preparing themselves to be independent by looking for and acquiring jobs, these old people are pouring their wealth into Bitcoin investments. 

Teaching youth is for Bitcoin to be established in the next generation, it still needs to take time for these youth to flourish, but the need for Bitcoin economic activity is now and people who have funds will be a great help in strengthening the economy and liquidity of the Bitcoin market and to be able to fulfill these needs people who had established themselves and have funds to invest.

It may be harder to convince conservative adults but once they become interested, they will surely inject funds to the market.

Yes, I agree with your opinion, and indeed there is nothing wrong if we teach parents about BTC, as long as the person who teaches BTC must explain to parents about the benefits of investing in BTC and also the risks of investing in BTC and teaching must be patient and wise. and in my opinion, parents of course have to tell their children that he invested in btc and if he dies his children will certainly know that his parents invested in btc. so basically if parents invest in btc in my opinion it will be even better if they are guided by their children.

Even if those "elderly" people may be wealthy, they are simply putting their money where their mouth is at this point because they have had the opportunity to amass fortune rather than necessarily knowledge. Do you believe that the elderly hold Bitcoin's foundation in tenuous hands? Reconsider your position

The youth will lead this movement, despite the fact that they are distracted. Being "established" is not important; what matters is being fearless, creative, and eager to adapt. When one rides the wild wave of volatility and acknowledges hazards, one is playing the real game. So, the true winners in elder investment are merely a sideshow? still outside the ring

Yes, the idea could be great, and most times not be great, depending on the individual (i.e vice versa), but however, age is never be a barrier when it comes to investing (i.e be it BTC, Gold or Real Estate), and as such should be encouraged at all levels, since nobody knows when he/she is gonna kick-the-bucket for good. Because Bitcoin has proven to be an asset whose value grow over time, and as that, makes it a better option than investing in fiat currencies whose value pro to depreciate over time due to government's non-favourable policies. So the old should never be discourage in as much as they have the fund to invest.

And when they being tech-poor lose the money, then who is to blame? I dont disagree that the same cannot happen with fiat money, but seeing the trust issues and paranoia that hovers on bitcoin and the market price changes that happen, I dont think an older person with multiple diseases and a failing heart and brain would be able to play along for long.

If they are themselves interested in it and have some tech background, it might be worth it. Hence it is personalized approach, not every grandparent is suited for it.

I think once you open your mind, age stops being a factor.
Sure you need to do more to halt decay but still your mind keeps you young. Maturity also has the benefit of experience. A plus in credibility, so to say.

Bitcoin certainly carries a value, but its value is never stable.  And since older people have very little knowledge about technology, they will not be interested in Bitcoin very easily. If you tell older people about the benefits of Bitcoin, they might be interested in investing here, but they can't afford the losses. So I don't think it would be very logical to educate older people about Bitcoin.  It would be better if the youth get more knowledge about Bitcoin then Bitcoin will automatically spread to the next generation.
