Okay, let's be real. You're seeing the headlines, right? "Bitcoin Plummets!" "Crypto Crash!" The boomers are surely somewhere shaking their heads and muttering, “I told you so! But hold up. So stop seeing Bitcoin as the millennial fad that just got more bent out of shape. Gen Z is as all-in as ever, and they’re reaping the benefits of their smart decisions in today’s digital world.
Gen Z Sees a Generational Heist
Here’s how these aren’t unrelated issues and what you should be focusing on. We know, because we’re both first-generation college graduates, that we grew up during the 2008 financial crisis. We watched our parents lose their jobs, their homes, their belief in the status quo. Then we graduated into a gig economy, shackled by student loan debt, as the rich continued to get richer. We don't trust the old system.
To us, Bitcoin is not a speculative asset. It’s a fuck you to the establishment that let us down. It’s a huge opportunity to regain control of our financial future, free from the whims of central banks and Wall Street trickery. It’s a Once in a Generation Heist Reclaiming Our Wealth
Seeing the price dip below $90,000? It's not scary. It's exciting. It's a fire sale.
FOMO Is Real, Baby!
Think about it: you see BlackRock, the biggest asset manager in the world, buying more Bitcoin during these dips. You see whales, the big players, accumulating. Then you watch in horror as other Bitcoin ETFs rake in tens, hundreds of millions in inflows! Are they all crazy? Or do they know something you don't?
This isn't about blind faith. It's about recognizing opportunity. It’s about the Fear Of Missing Out. (FOMO). No one wants to be left behind.
Let me paint a picture. You may recall when Amazon stock went down by 90 percent in the dot-com bubble. Everyone said it was overhyped, a scam. Now look at it. Bitcoin is still in its early stages. It's volatile, yes. It too has the opportunity for explosive expansion.
We’re not saying it’ll get to a million dollars by 2035, as Robert Kiyosaki envisioned. You certainly don’t want to be that person who wishes they had seized this opportunity once they’re gone and they wish they hadn’t.
Debunking the Myths, One Meme At a Time
Here's the truth: Bitcoin has historically experienced numerous corrections before reaching new highs. Corrections are normal.
- "Bitcoin is too complicated." Nah. There are tons of resources online to learn the basics. And honestly, you don't need to understand the underlying technology to benefit from it.
- "Bitcoin is too volatile." Okay, true. But that volatility also creates opportunities. Plus, as more institutions adopt Bitcoin, the volatility will likely decrease over time.
- "Bitcoin is a scam." This one is just lazy. Bitcoin is a decentralized, transparent, and secure network. Yes, there are scams in the crypto world, just like there are scams in the traditional financial world. But that doesn't mean Bitcoin itself is a scam.
Look at the numbers: 62% of the Bitcoin supply hasn't moved for over a year. That tells you something. Everyone is in it for the duration. They believe in the future of Bitcoin.
So as every single boomer, Gen X, or millennial who doesn’t understand this new asset class and is panicking, selling off their holdings…we’re buying the dip. We're accumulating. We're building our future.
So are you going to take the bait of all these naysayers and let all this opportunity pass you by? Or will you instead follow Gen Z into the fire sale and light it up. The choice is yours. Do not come back and tell us we did not do enough to warn you once Bitcoin reaches $100,000, $200,000 or even more.
This isn't financial advice. Do your own research. At the same time, don’t be scared to take a chance. The future is in favor of those who have the audacity to shake things up.
| Feature | Traditional Finance | Bitcoin |
|---|---|---|
| Control | Limited | Full Ownership |
| Transparency | Opaque | Transparent |
| Accessibility | Barriers | Open to Anyone |
| Potential Growth | Limited | High |
So, are you going to listen to the naysayers and miss out on the future of finance? Or are you going to join Gen Z in the fire sale? The choice is yours. But don't say we didn't warn you when Bitcoin hits $100,000, $200,000, or even higher.
This isn't financial advice. Do your own research. But also, don't be afraid to take a risk. The future belongs to those who dare to disrupt.
