Is that really true? When I was in college some years ago I didn't fall for any scams and few of my classmates did either. Most of us barely had money for beer and textbooks, so there wasn't much to scam from us in the first place. Has the situation changed?

Do you remember those Power Balance wristbands? I think the things back then on the radars of school/college kids were a bit simpler. In the recent past, fashion was the big driver and what 15-20 year olds saw in trends. Now, social media exposes them to influencers and wealth and they figure they want to get on the crypto train, or get a GoPro because it will make adventure sports happen in their lives, or go live in a van.

Last year, a colleague was talking about his ~15 year old kid insisting he wanted to buy NFTs. Said colleague had suffered FOMO from years of the rest of us talking about Bitcoin and might've therefore been primed to acquiesce.
