Why youth own more bitcoin than their wealthier parents

in #bitcoin7 years ago

finder.com survey found that Millennial’s (about ages between 22 and 37) had a 17% ownership rate, Gen X (about 37 to 55) were at a bit less than 9% and Baby boomer’s were just over 2%.

The main reason people ‪for not owning bitcoin - was a perception that they didn’t need to‬!

The baby boomers are entirely brainwashed with what they have been taught about money in the FIAT system.

The older generation must UNLEARN the propaganda that the Banks have flooded then with over the decades.

While youth are not hampered with these errors - and in fact SEE THROUGH the deception and do not trust these institutions.

And wisely so.

What do you think - do you trust bitcoin or banks?

The BIG LIE that we have been sold about money is what is keeping the Baby Boomers closed to new ideas - it's not a lack of intelligence - it is their belief systems. If you have a strong belief (a thought you keep thinking over and over) then new information that does not match your belief... is rejected. The Millennial generation are not hampered by the propaganda of Banks and credit cards - in fact they only know the recent news about the massive government debts - they only know their parents have been in debt and enslaved most of their lives. Thus the Millennial generation SEE THROUGH the scam - and put their trust in a trustless system. More on THE BIG LIE:

I want to add - there are more people becoming discontent with the middleman BANKS thinking they have right to control your money - https://twitter.com/anne_connelly/status/976881641581891585

Every time I have to deal with a bank I'm more determined than ever to ensure #blockchain is the financial system of the future.

haha because they are too old school and don't want to adapt to change, especially when speaking of new investment instruments.

Yes- first they have to unlearn the bullshit before they will be ABLE to explore the new ideas.

My Dad, 78 years old, is an exception - he has been trading crypto for a couple years and made some great profits

good news for your dad! haha. at least he is updated to the trend.
