Who exactly are the traders diving into memecoins these days? The question of average trader age in this wild corner of crypto deserves some real attention. You've got Gen Z retail investors treating it like a casino on their lunch break—quick money, zero patience. But there's also a surprisingly thick slice of millennials and older retail participants who've been around the crypto block. Some came from traditional markets, others stumbled in from gaming or Discord communities. The age mix keeps shifting with each cycle. During bull runs, younger traders flood in; bear markets tend to filter them out fast. What's interesting is that memecoin enthusiasm doesn't follow neat age brackets anymore—it's more about risk appetite, access to information, and time availability than birthdate.

Ha, it's the same old rhetoric. Nice words, but you're just a gambler. I just want to ask, who still plays memes for "long-term value" nowadays? To put it simply, each generation has its own betting style. Gen Z is all about quick wins, while the older guys have more tricks up their sleeves—all with the mindset of wanting to get rich. Age doesn't matter; having a brain does.

Based on data from the past few cycles, the composition of participants in this wave of memecoin is indeed not so simple anymore, it's not just a matter of YOLO post-00s. Hmm... Recently, 熊熊 looked into the activity patterns of on-chain wallet addresses and found that middle-aged traders actually have a fairly high trading frequency, but no one paid attention to it. The real factors that determine who enters and who exits are not age, but risk preference coefficients and account idle time. These data points are particularly significant. Let's say, when the next bear market arrives, 90% of beginners will exit instantly, and the remaining are often not veterans, but those who truly understand DCA. Don't just look at the surface age labels; the market cycle behind them is the real screening mechanism. Hugging everyone through this adjustment period.

Brothers, stop with the age argument. I've seen guys in their 60s go all-in on Dogecoin, and I've also seen post-95s cut the leeks like pros... It all depends on who’s greedier and who loses.
