The attitude towards people of older generations has become very negative in the CryptoCurrency space.

We need to address this issue strongly.

My wife and I were recently out at a restaurant eating dinner. This restaurant was a chain testing out a more automatic way of ordering through an Ipad-like device. 

As we were about to learn, you are supposed to order your entire meal through this thing and THEN they will bring out your food. Nobody informed us this was the case so naturally we waited for staff to come take our order. 

After waiting for a while, already a bit dissatisfied, we contacted the staff and were told to use the device. We spent the next 10 minutes figuring out how to turn this thing on. 

Hungry and increasing frustrated, not wanting to spend the next 30 minutes ordering our meal, we asked the staff to take order the regular way. They did, but not without some very unappealling attitude from the young lady serving us. 

I dont think it is reasonable to assume everyone will be equally able to adapt in this increasing digitized world but everyone, especially those with the most experience and wisdom, deserve respect!

Why am I telling you this story? 

Because I have seen and experienced this kind of discrimination and hateful attitude in plenty when it comes to CryptoCurrencies, and the mostly young people involved. 

It would be possible for me to write several books detailing all of the examples of this behavior, just based on my own personal experience. 

The spectrum goes from the sly and cowardly expressions of rude attitude, when they say to restart the "router", to the more explicit and almost criminal acts like selling PCs with missing CD-drives, relying on us not noticing because of our age. 

In general, the Crypto space has many good and kindhearted people, but sometimes they need to speak up when a loud minority starts setting the stardard. 

Phrases like "Dont share your private keys" and "Remember to write down the seed" get mockingly thrown around. 

Referring to older generations as the slur "CPU Miners" has become commonplace. 

And a picture ridiculing an older gentleman trading have been the most popular image on many CryptoCurrency forums.

This has to stop or the generational gap will forever widen until it becomes unbridgeable.
