A 22 year old person who will work for 40 years, will economically benefit from Bitcoin, to approximately $500,000( today's dollar) in value, EVEN if they never buy any or invest in it early on.
My thesis is based on the fact that Bitcoin's successful attack on inflation will result in a compounded recapture of the 8% inflation that society has suffered for the last 100 years. Additionally, it will capture the stolen deflationary affects of massive productivity gains from technology. Everything our kids do economically will be 8%+ less expensive, because the theft will be absent.
When a very skeptical 22 year old doesn't believe in bitcoin, I always tell them that it's going to affect them positively wether they are involved in it or not. I'm very confident I'm right.
