I sadly have to say that most of the "kids" are NOT paying attention at all, nor trying to understand the events.

I mean less than 30 years old, and in my country.

Maybe it's just my impression, but it's not a matter of age, because both young and old pretend to know so much and want to give you their advice on how the world move, but the reality is that they don't know much and don't realize they don't have personal opinions...

Heard a friend of mine, 29, saying proudly "inflation is what keep society growing".

He also refuse to take 1 hour to learn about bitcoin.

It's good that some people, even young, are interested in the subject, but young or old the vast majority are not aware of shits (but think they are)
