Considering the fact that people become more conservative with age (in decision-making, beliefs and, of course, in choosing assets for investment), it is easy to assume that the younger the respondent, the easier it will be to convince him to invest in something new, like bitcoin. The older people are, the less willing they are to change their habits. Including habits in choosing a way to save money. The older generation is accustomed to trusting banks and investing in real estate (sometimes in gold and securities), and will continue to adhere to this position in financial matters.

Young people, as the most "flexible" in the social stratum, will be most actively interested in bitcoin, but the largest number of people who actually invested in bitcoin will be approximately 25-35 years old due to the available free money. This category will be slightly less interested in bitcoin (compared to young people), but will have more money to implement their interest in it (which young people will have problems with due to the lack of tangible, comparatively, earnings).


I think, in percentages (what part of this category of people can be interested in investing in bitcoin) it can be expressed as follows:

1 - 90%
2 - 70%
3 - 30%
4 - 10%

These figures are assumed (with errors, in and approximately in the same range) and are not based on any social surveys or studies. This is my personal subjective assumption.

Adolescents don't have access to money since they are still in school and not working. A high number of people in that young adult group are not also gainfully employed in my location. Most of the individuals in the first two groups might still be suffering from youthful exuberance. They might have an interest in other things and not investment.

The ideal people to introduce to Bitcoin would be mature adults and senior citizens. These set of individuals understand that investing is important, and they also have access to funds.

Easily convinced to do what? Maybe to use Bitcoin as a currency or investment. You wouldn't introduce people to what they cannot afford to own. My assumptions might be wrong but I think people will have interest in what they can afford. If you went through my post, it is clear that I chose the last two groups as people who would be easily convinced since they can afford to buy Bitcoin.

At this stage, they can easily learn the basics of Bitcoin. If they keep developing interest, they can be grounded in the Bitcoin space. But most of them might not be able to practicalise what they have learned immediately since they don't have money to invest.

I think all these age category that I remain. Younger generation preferred a quick rich idea of investment regardless of the risk involved. They are easier to convince on Bitcoin investment due to the volatility of this assets and at the same time with track price data that grows long term.

Only Senior citizens age bracket are hard to convince because they preferred traditional investments that has less risk involved and also the technology barrier that stop them to learn Bitcoin investment.

Overall young gen is the best fit for Bitcoin investment.

We only need to tell and teach all of that ages range about Bitcoin and not convince them because that will be part of forcing them to follow us. At least, that is what I think.

If we can closer to adolescence or youth and explain about Bitcoin and build their mindset to have an investment for their future, I think they can accept that because they will see the life become tough and they need to prepare from now.

They are ready to face the future with much knowledge about how to survive in the hard situation. We don't know what will happen in the future but we can teach them to understand that life will change and if they are not ready, they will difficult to survive.

Isn't it obvious? Your first group in the example is easy enough to convince; they are generally easy to convince of everything, including that Bitcoin was invented by aliens, since they are children, and no matter how much they want to invest, they do not have the means to do so. Difficulties with accepting investment will be for older people, who are accustomed to the fact that they should have money in their hands. There are a few who will invest, but these are either well-off people who understand the value of Bitcoin or, like children, easily influenced older people.
There remains the middle age, and here I would combine the second and third groups: people who are well on their feet, have an education and a stable income, keep up with new technologies, and care about their future. Naturally, we must not deny that in each age group, there are unique individuals in this or that concept, but on average, in my opinion, things are exactly like this.

The older generation are used to traditional investments, and some of them believe all virtual currencies are a scam, so it would surely be difficult to convince many of them to see BTC for what it truly is, whch is a decentralized and censorship resistant currency.

If i am to pick, i would say 40 years and younger, many people of this age level are interested in crypto and new technology, so it will surely be easier to convince them about BTC.

If I am not mistaken, investing in Bitcoin doesn't have a particular age grade that is expected to invest in Bitcoin the more. Bitcoin is open to everyone, irrespective of age and gender, and no age grade would I say that will not be interested in achieving the financial freedom Bitcoin offers if they have spare money.

Judging from the reality on the ground about your question, I will pick the age grade of 21-40 years to be the ones that can be easily convinced if approach how to invest for their future because of how young they are and what they tend to achieve in the long run.

Is 13 years not too small? Someone of that age is not yet old enough to have capital to invest into Bitcoin and if they have money to do such, it must be through the help of their parents, which means you have to get their parents involved too. You should have start counting from 18 years of age but you didn't include it,  the age that I feel can be easily convinced to invest in Bitcoin is from 18 to 40 because they still have the sharp brain to easily capture things and most of them also have the financial capability to invest because they are of the age when they are working already and receiving paycheck.

The younger the better.


At 68 a 10 year hodl may not be possible

but at 13 a ten year hodl is pretty easy

2015 to 2025  240 to 104,000          433 to 1
2014 to 2024  453 to   60,793          134 to 1
2013 to 2023  117 to   27,621          236 to 1
2012 to 2022     5  to   31,016        6203 to 1
2011 to 2021     5  to   55,847       11169 to 1        

it does not give a price for 2010 or 2009

I rounded 2012 and 2011 to 5

as you can see 10 year hodl returns are big


if 2014 to 2024 is 134 to 1

and if 2025 to 2035 is only 15 to 1      we are at 1.56 million may of 2035

My guess is in may 2035 we are either under 10k or over 1.6 million


The earliest price I found was

July 17 2010       $0.05

so July  17 2020  9192        183,840 to 1
