Hey, I'm not old but I'm closer to old than young. I was fortunate to get into the stock market early and even a couple ipo's which led me into real estate etc. so now I'm in crypto, follow it, read it still trying to figure it out. Anyway, although everyone is now talking Bitcoin I think this story has sent a message about saving and investing to younger people. I don't think speculation is a good lesson but the ability to do more with ur money than spend it or gain no interest in a bank account is a good thing and I only learned it by listening to others as I was making my way.
I don't think btc is the answer to everything and it could even crash, that would also be a lesson, but the US population in general does not save a lot of money, perhaps this new development could help change that.
I couldn't agree more. What you have stated was very well said. In my perspective, I think bitcoin gave a good experiences to the young people. Nowadays, most bitcoiners are young people (if your definition of young is under the age of 30). It taught them a lot of lessons that was needed in our life such as how to save money, how to earn money and so on. It also enhances someone's strategy ability, critical thinking, and decision making. They also learn how to properly trade and invest. Despite of having a negative rumors about bitcoin, it still help most of us in many aspects.
