They keep mentioning that bitcoin is seen as digital gold by many. But I think a lot of young people being interested in bitcoin is also due to its technology since we know that a lot of youngsters nowadays are quite tech savvy.
Before, we used to say this: "we're in it for the tech, for blockchain technology". Nowadays, I don't think that most people who are getting into Bitcoin will say the same thing. It's mostly about it being a store of value, an asset, an investment because of the value of it keeps on growing.
sure a lot of kids nowadays are interested in growing technology as well but we should also acknowledge that a lot of young kids these days are interested in investments and whatnot because they have learned about money very early on in life
look how they grew up where pretty much everything costs so i believe they all grew up under the gig culture where everyone is doing something to make profit
the fact that these kids are very tech savvy is only a bonus because they can make money just using their own devices
