The millennials in the U.S. are driving this adoption and recognition that blockchain and cryptocurrency and sort of digital businesses is going to be a real asset class, he added.
he's right. it took years for my generation (twenty-somethings) to come around, though. with one exception, it wasn't until bitcoin was above $10,000 this year that my friends finally took an interest. in contrast, i haven't had any older colleagues or family members ask me about it, even though i've been mentioning my involvement in bitcoin trading for at least 3 years now.
the older generations are still stuck on traditional investments like stocks and gold. the exception seems to be technical traders. well-known traders like peter brandt, john bollinger and steve burns have all been dipping their toes into the cryptocurrency scene. their involvement on social media has done a lot reach a new audience of investors and traders.
