Why do younger people engage more with bitcoin?
When we think about the Bitcoin Community, certain peculiar affinities emerge, as we saw in one of [my previous posts.](https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@marlon6/the-bitcoin-community-why-do-we-get-along-together)

There are some well-defined age groups that engage more than others with Bitcoin.
Statistics from Google Analytics (via [coin.dance](https://coin.dance/)) show that Millennials have a  better relationship with Bitcoin (and other cryptocurrencies).

The Millennial Generation is made of individuals born between the early '80s and 2000.

The reasons for such an engagement can be found in the natural predisposition for new technologies and the higher *revolutionary tendency* of the younger generations. Often they still are in the *"first investment phase"* and they can be wary of the traditional banking system.

Also, one of the strongest reason for this kind of engagement is from populations of young countries where unemployment and inflation are very high, often with not so democratic governments. Another reason is that foreign workers have the need to transfer money to their home countries without being depredated by costly commissions. That's why it is all but surprising to find that age groups between 18 and 44 represent more than 87% of people engaging in Bitcoin.

The graph below shows how the various group ages engage with Bitcoin
