Title: Why do old people like investing in gold and silver rather than crypto?
Post by: Domithra on September 15, 2018, 02:46:37 AM
Gold and silver investment has been in existence since the civilization of man. It has gained the trust of most ancient and old men of our time. Cryptocurrency and the king of it, Bitcoin, is just 9 years old. A lot of old people are not well inclined to this amazing technology. It will take some time to gain the trust of these old men.

Depends how old you're talking. I really don't know many 'old people' that have gold and silver investments. Most seem to stick with property and stocks, at least in my part of the world anyway. I would say it's the younger generation that are more inclined to invest in gold and silver, especially with the ever increasing distrust of banks.

Today's parents may not be interested, but I'm sure parents are in the 90's so they will be interested and try to know more about cryptocurrency, because those born in the 90's already know technology and understand it. I am sure that in the near future 5-10 years from now, it will happen.

Old people don't really know about crypto investment. They also seem to dislikes a speculative investment. Gold and silver have proven as good investment choices till now. While crypto has no guarantee for the success, even it is potential to get more profit than gold or silver.

Simply because gold and other precious metal have its physical representation and not highly volatile. You can buy a gold today and wait for over a year before you see a good profit. Golds are used for jewelry its demand would not decline that far. Further, gold are not easily to acquire the possibility of affected by over supply is very slim. Whereas the demand for it is increasing every time in the year.

Gold is a real and visible item. While crypto does not. In addition, many parents do not know technology in developing countries so it is natural that they do not know crypto. I am sure the people who invest in crypto are dominated by people under 40 years.

That's why investment scams use Cryptocurrency, so people now have a second mind to trust the crypto. We do not blame them. In my opinion you can trust your knowledge and understanding about crypto currencies. that will help you understand the future of various crypto currency and will enable you make the best decision for your self!

Gold and silver have been known for a long time because both have real forms, we can see the crown of the king made of gold. different from Bitcoin, Bitcoin is still new and parents are still thinking of investing in bitcoin because Bitcoin still has no recognition from all countries in the world.

I think that parents lack knowledge about technology. What they know is investment in real form, namely Gold, Silver, Property and others. For us the Milelial generation will surely know and follow the development of technology that is increasingly advanced today. So there is nothing wrong when parents still believe in investing in the real world such as gold and silver rather than investing in the crypto world.

Basically, this kind of strategy is not a new trend rather it was an old ways of investment. Old but even until now is effective due to its foundation that it is safe ad secure investment not like crypto that not 100% guarantying the security and safetiness of your investment to earn more profits year by year.

I think old people doesn't trust cryptocurrency because they didn't know what is it, and how its works, although crypto investment can give you high profits in a short time period, but there's no guarantee if this kind of technology will last.

it's hard to leave the habit, maybe parents are used to investing in gold, Bitcoin is the future for online payment systems, we just have to wait for the time they will know Bitcoin from a very high price.

No one is spreading this to the masses, no one is talking massively about the positive aspects of the use of cryptocurrencies. Us this is simply no one teaches, which is why many still wary will look at this technology.

I would definitely agree with that. We cannot expect people who have made a good fortune in gold and silver or anything they know very well to just accept crypto which is very much different to what they are used to.

because they lack experience or have no understanding of the world of cryptocurrency bro. so they chose gold and silver as their place of investment. even some of them from Indonesia prefer to invest in USD

People are mainly just afraid of things they don't understand.  I've been doing crypto for a year and I still have difficulty explaining it to other people because I don't understand it well enough.  I imagine it's significantly more daunting to understand if you don't have any understanding of computers, internet, or technology in general.  For most old people that is likely the case.  Then on top of their lack of understanding here the media tends to throw cryptocurrency under a bus and speaks only negatively about it, further causing people to distance themselves from it.

Gold and silver are the most stable goods you can invest in, crypto is the opposite, it offers a high risk/reward so these are 2 very different kind of investments. In a well balanced  and divesified portfoglio you can have gold, silver, stocks and also crypto..

"There may be several aspects that cause parents not to invest in Kritpo and choose Gold and silver as Investment Objects.
1. Parents usually do not know the technological developments that exist today and according to him is not good if followed by continuous development.
2. In terms of security, it is indeed safer to invest in gold and silver rather than investing in crypto.
3. The price of gold and silver is more stable and the benefits are standard, while crypto prices are dynamic and the benefits can be large and can be small or even suffer a large loss."

Well crypto is still a novelty in its early stages of development. Its risky, volatile, you need a certain amount of technical knowledge to participate in it etc. It is completely understandable and reasonable that older people are storing their wealth in much safer forms of investment.

parents may not be interested in crypto investment even though they have the potential to get more profits because they don't know about crypto investment and they also don't like speculative investments because for them parents investing in gold and silver have existed since the days of human civilization and it has the trust of most parents and ancient people for our day. cryptocurrency and king, bitcoin is only 9 years old and many parents will not be interested in today's sophisticated technology. It will take time to get the trust of these old people because for them gold and silver have proven to be good investments up to now. although crypto has the potential to get more profits than gold and silver.

so many people don't know about cryptocurrency and the benefits. therefore, they prefer to invest in gold or silver. that's good because they won't get the big losses. but I think to get the profit will take a long time  and the profits that will receive also smaller than the investment in cryptocurrency
