A generation that’s working harder, earning less, and being told to “just keep going”…

on a treadmill that isn’t designed to slow down and is about to speed up drastically

My core takeaways for our discussion:

• Gen Z needs to be asking better questions

• There is a way off the treadmill, but it isn’t effortless

• Bitcoin isn’t risky because it’s volatile, it’s risky if you don’t understand money

• Nothing meaningful comes without work

• No one is coming to save you, you must save yourself (and your family)

• The real edge is stacking skills, increasing the value you provide, and using tools deliberately to leverage your value

If Bitcoin isn’t for you, that’s fine. But at the very least, ask what is its purpose and critically think why it isn’t for you.

The future rewards effort, and people willing to think for themselves
