I think that’s the core of the intergenerational issue most of you got brainwashed by the television and many of you still are. It’s been hard for us to explain reality to the vast majority of baby boomers. If you’re on nostr you’re a far outlier in your generation.
Discussion
That’s fair and I understand. Though, are you suggesting that no millennials, Gen Z or other non-boomers have been or are still being completely brainwashed by media and fiat driven narratives?
I live near four young couples, all aged between 25 and 33, who own their homes (thanks in part to the bank of mum/dad). Two have young kids. In regular conversations, I’ve come to see that not one of them has even the faintest understanding of how the fiat money system or central banking actually works. Bitcoin isn’t even on their radar.
They’re smart, kind people, just entirely unaware (politically & financially). Just like many of us boomers were for decades. They still very much have great trust their banks, financial advisors, parent’s advice and political system.
Truth is, for now at least, all bitcoiners are outliers. In a global population of 8 billion, we’re still only around 110 million strong. That’s barely over 1%. We’re not typical of any generation, we’re the exception across all age groups.
So while I appreciate the “far outlier" compliment, I think it’s important to remember that ignorance and awakening aren't age specific. Every generation has its sleep walkers and its truth seekers.
I’m grateful to be in this space with people like you, even when we don’t see eye to eye on everything. The best chance we have at building something better is by coming together.
