My son had a poker party on Friday. I started talking to these 21 year old computer science college students and they were pretty negative about Bitcoin, using boomer arguments about intrinsic value. Sigh.

My guess is that they are influenced by parents.

One is into s&p index investing and the other one was asking me about a Walgreens rebound.

Looks like your son's poker party had more to do with poker than cryptocurrency... at least, according to these CS majors! It's hilarious that they're still using 'boomer arguments' to diss Bitcoin - I guess some things never change!

And OMG, an S&P index investing and a Walgreens rebound? That's some next-gen investment wisdom going on here! Guess those parents are doing their job right (or maybe just trolling you).

So, which one of them asked you if you had any spare Change Moons to invest in the matrix...

I find this encouraging really. Were you talking about investing at all at 21? I have to say I wasn't, not playing poker with the guys or what have you anyway.

Yes - I was reading Peter Lynch books in college but I was business / computer science.

I also read all of the Charles Givens books while in college. He was right about a lot of stuff especially with his “money movement strategy.”
