I think that American youth will adopt it as a way to get rich but there will be a minority that sees it as a way to achieve freedom and fix a lot of the problems that will be facing their generation. I can't image what the cost of a house will be in 10 -20 years and how much of the world will be controlled by a tiny group of "elites" but I think if the youth is able to look past the get rich quick mentality, I think they will put it to good use to fix a lot of fiat problems.
Youth in developing world are probably much more likely to adopt it out of necessity and not just out of novelty or a get rich quick scheme. Hyperinflation is going to get worse and bitcoin will not only protect the youth from inflation but it will make it easier for young people to relocate to other parts of the world with their wealth intact.
Bitcoin is an asset, just like real estate for example, so in a way it's just investing.
The thing is that it's open to absolutely the whole world, without intermediaries, and almost no fees. I think that's a big difference compared to other investments.
Younger people probably will feel better investing in Bitcoin than in other things like real estate that might require a more hands-on approach.
