The younger generations loves this because where else are you going to get 10x your money in a year. We weren't so fascinated with it pre 2013.

I think my generation being intrinsically digital find the idea of digital money and smart contracts to make hell of a lot more sense than older folks who've been working and realize the immense challenges of implementing these currencies. Naturally they find the challenges to be worth more than what Crypto can provide because they lack the need to a digitally connected physical world younger folks desire.

Maybe I'm off, but I feel that as a desire to refuse to play a rigged game. I am "intrinsically digital" too, but just off by a few years so nobody talked about crypto at school even a year ago.

Still, it makes a hell of a lot more sense! I don't know about you, but I've noticed quite a few rigged games, and I took action on that.

For example, after my work tried one last shenanigan on me last year, I quit. I did not bother applying to another corporate job. I know I'd be paid 70 cents on the dollar and thrown a bone every now and then, so instead I just started my company. Come what may!

I don't even bother with pension stuff, because of the system dynamic. I see it as very unfair, and I would be happy to vote to bring it down -- even if it meant I would be 100% sure I would not see anything in return of the money I am forced to pay. But at least, I would not contribute an unfair situation and burden the next generations.

I wonder if the generation that daytrade crypto on their cellphone feel the same about money and banking? Maybe they believe that even if it is very far from ideal, crypto is preferable to the status quo?
