Darn, message published before I finished.
Boomers bought a house, a car and had children and took holidays. Blinkered by monopoly of news sources.
Rarely did anyone have an investment property or stocks and shares. Most saved to pay off the family home which they might have occasionally sold to upgrade.
Would you have done differently?
Remember, no internet or mobile phones. A daily paper and news program that everyone viewed at same time each evening fed by a monopoly on media.
The money printers and government policies increased house prices.
What would you have done?
Not many, if anyone, was aware of how the overall money system worked. I'm in my late 60s and only learned that recently, when I finally have some free time in my life to look. Going down Bitcoin rabbit hole was where I learned any of that.
We were taught to study hard and work hard to make something of our lives. So it's what most of us did. No way could the average person back then foresee any of what is showing up these days.
Can you know what the next 50 years will bring and what you need to do now to support gen-z or younger?
If you did know, how much change could you effect other than by promoting and fighting for the honest money of Bitcoin?
How many boomers do you see in the Bitcoin community who are making a huge difference?
When we know, we do better. Applies to us all.
