I am not surprised by the age distribution.  Not everyone over 60 is a doddering grouch, yelling at kids to get off the lawn.  Picture a retiring dentist, doctor, engineer, or other career with $150-500K per year income and the financial challenges they face with regard to keeping money, passing it on to heirs, or moving it out of the country.  They aren't rich enough to have big league lawyers and accountants, but rich enough to have a lot of money at risk.

There is a huge industry in wealth management, asset management and tax avoidance.  Google "panama private interest foundation" or "offshore IBC".  Set up an offshore corporation or trust, manipulate rules to get assets offshore, ensure that nothing becomes taxable in your home country.  The problem is that it is easy to follow the money.

Wait: follow the money?  How do you follow btc transfers when they are done by professionals?  BTC has a huge future in the wealth management industry.  Unfortunately, none of the facilitators seem to use it YET.

When you picture that old guy, picture someone who has a clue, has significant money, and needs to protect that money from the government.

Edit: if you think you might eventually have a few million, do the Google search.  Some of the sites are very educational and explain everything in detail.
