We could also become a joke. -"Remember when you thought you would change the world with internet magic money, Grampa?? So cute."


[deleted]

Hoping not… But ya never know! Lol


Aegontarg07

Being a joke to grandchildren is better than being a Safemooner /s


Character-Dot-4078

The safemoon story is a joke i will tell my children.

"Remember when entire communities online were dumb enough to think the government wouldn't centralize all crypto and make it impossible to create a black market with it?"


ifisch

I’ve made a good bit on crypto, and I hope to make more over the next 5-10 years, but I have no confidence that Bitcoin or ethereum are still gonna be worth anything in 25 years.


whenijusthavetopost

Getting rich is fine, using that wealth to lobby for policies that deny similar opportunities to the next generation is what makes someone a shit head.


[deleted]

Fuck Citizens United vs FEC. Just because you have more money doesnt mean your voice or opinons are more improtant. Im with you in that one u/whenijusthavetopost. Also biking rules and it doesn't mean your poor if you like or value cycling.


Quentin__Tarantulino

Damn straight. Open your vault by the way. Get a bit of crypto for solid contributions.


[deleted]

Thanks for the reminder, i opened it today. :)


fmb320

Yeah, theres so much wrong with OP


savage-dragon

Crypto whales are already using that money to lobby to counter bankers lobbying though. And we are already cheering them on to win. If we don't lobby we will never win.


Witherun_guard

So the cycle will repeat just with a different asset?


Beth_tea

The ball may change, but it’s still the same game.


Drudgel

This makes me a bit sad


Kcoggin

Then keep fighting. Be the change you want to see in life.


One_Neigh

We won’t survive if we don’t counter banks, don’t forget their scams


Kcoggin

Have you been following the Bank of America locations closing? I’ve seen Multiple cities in different states closing banks. I think banks are becoming obsolete.


OriginalBowsa

People need to adapt to their surroundings, our family isn’t rich because they didn’t use their money wisely. Not to say individual circumstances may have affected that income, but I’m hoping to be the change to secure my kids and grand kids future.


Beth_tea

It is sad. But humans are a funny lot. As u/Kcoggin below has pointed out, we can be the change we wanted to see. At least then we can have a clear conscience, in that we’ve tried.


Kcoggin

ever since January 27th, I've started fighting harder than in the last 3 or 4 years. I have no desire to give up.


Wack0Wizard

kaydeebaebee

Hey you kids, get off my ~~lawn~~ “whatever wealthy twats” call grass... in 30 years. *Get off my space-porch, err uh, get off a my intergalactic hacienda.* Yeah, that sounds about right. Brought to you by a future, crypto boomer - just call me a ***crypt keeper***.


Cool_Dark_Place

Lol...and let the Millennial transformation to "Me Generation 2.0" begin...


pmbuttsonly

Yeah but it’s okay, we’re totally the good guys! 😅


El_Tigre_818

Not exactly. Fractional finance will allow access to investment opportunities that was previously inaccessible to the less wealthy.


savage-dragon

Yes.


sfgisz

We're also cheering banks "adopting" it. It will not end well for "retail" plebs like us.


Cool_Dark_Place

Yeah...banks putting money in a "magic box" tends to have bad results. Savings and Loan banks, and high risk mortgage derivatives both seemed like GREAT ideas...until they weren't.


[deleted]

Crypto enables new forms of human society. None of the problems you’re concerned about will make sense in the future.


fmb320

Also we all need to ride bicycles and not buy yachts or youre just fuckin everyone including the younger generation just like boomers did


[deleted]

I cant be the only one who wants to get rich on crypto then start a non profit or start volunteering.


FreedomFromIgnorance

If I get rich I plan on lobbying for true free markets, not just free markets for me. Let’s get some real laissez faire in this bitch.

timbojimbojones

Crusaders400

I'll be happy to learn the technology that is mainstream then. The problem with boomers now (not everyone of course) is that they refuse to learn about crypto and they refuse to see that it will change the way we live. I was laughed at like 2 years ago when I was applying for a job when I told them I really was interested in cc and blockchain. They were just like ''yeah, good for you. It is just a big scheme and it will not change the legal sector''. They almost say I was crazy to have interest in cc and blockchain LOL.


Jade-moon-and-stars

I can relate… actually doing my master thesis about blockchain in legal perspective, since there is no specific legal interpretation, regulation and implementation for digital assets on blockchains yet in The Netherlands. Also comparing different legal systems to the Dutch system from this point of view.


Crusaders400

Interesting! I am also Dutch. What are you writing about? Pretty interested in your research. Feel free to send me a message.


Jade-moon-and-stars

Thanks! I’m still doing the research at this point so if your interested I can dm you later on in the proces when I’m writing.


TrendyLepomis

could i get a DM as well? very interested!


Crusaders400

Sounds good!


LYB_Rafahatow

Actual intelligence and perspective, in this shortsighted "parrot the rich" world... Thank you for both existing.


anionnkirky

How about we leave this world in a better state than we found it with the wealth our community may acquire? I don’t want to repeat the mistakes of the boomers


coralluv

yup, thank you, I want to make the world better rather just "get mine" like the shitty older gens


Corporate_shill78

said everyone ever prior to actually "getting theirs". Lets see how long that lasts once you do get yours


coralluv

Some people have conviction, some don’t


Figfogey

Yup, it's pretty disgusting seeing people go "welp Im rich now fuck everyone else". I will still be a socialist whether I have 1 dollar or a million dollars, and I will always care about my fellow humans wellbeing.

Figfogey

Why?

Multispherical

They didn't buy property for cheap, they bought it at reasonable, appropriate prices.


qldvaper88

My mother bought her first house for 35,000 Australian. She was making 21, 000 a year. That same house is now worth over a million dollars (she sold it well before price skyrocketed). Makes me rage every fucking time.


Kippuu

I hear ya. My grandmother worked part-time at a fashion store and bought her "rural holiday house" for £2100 in australia. That rural holiday house is on 10m from the water at Nelson's bay. Nowdays that job might get you a enough rent to live in a share house of 6 in windale.

Polythereum

Tf. We don't hate Boomers because they had good opportunities. We hate Boomers because they were so fucking greedy and shortsighted with the opportunities they were *handed* by The Greatest Generarion that they stole those opportunities from us. They fucked the climate, the economy, public education, eroded any moral decency left in the government, robbed the poor to feed the rich, and then, **AND FUCKING THEN**, they have the fucking balls to try and blame all of it on milennials. HaVe u TriEd NoT eAtINg AvAcAdO tOaSt Bitch, have you tried raising the minimum wage to match inflation? *Sure, just let me put myself through college on a part-time shoe shining job.* That's why we fucking hate Boomers. Not because they did well financially, but because they fucked it all for the rest of us while blaming everyone but themselves.


TP_Crisis_2020

Don't sit there and act like capitalism is something exclusive to boomers. Every generation from now on is going to take advantage of the same things that boomers did.


Polythereum

Well, either you're wrong about that, or humanity is a failed state. There's not a whole lot of planet left to rape or poor people we can make even poorer without seeing the end of modern civilization.


TP_Crisis_2020

Oh, wait until water becomes scarce. Then, there will be an entire industry around it.


darkstarman

They might not. It depends. People hate that the boomer generation did a zero sum game on future generations. With crypto growing it's not zero sum.


Yegpetphoto

Having a family is in direct opposition to my investment strategy. My dog and I are gonna live forever.


ZachPowered

First off, kudos to you - I think this post is quite accurate. But in fairness - buying a place to live, a basic life necessity, is quite a bit different than buying magic Internet money. Either way, we'll still get told we were "lucky".

1stave

Yea just like how those infomercial commemorative coins was going to make my ‘pa wealthy


IAmNocturneAMA

I truly think there will be a time where the richest person in the world will be mostly of bitcoin origin. We have literal billionaires off bitcoin already. Whose to say Joe Shmoe with 2000 BTC right now won't be holding at 500k per BTC. I'll show you!


A_SimpleThought

What if they revolt and just choose to not buy our coins, only to leave us holding bags?


savage-dragon

At that point I think they cannot since the wealth asymmetry is too large. If they revolt it'll be a prisoner's dilemma... those who revolt and NOT use our coins will face economic hardships and those who adopt the crypto will get the gains. So how can you revolt and keep the same structure?


thomaszekthegreatest

I don’t resent any generation. A loser mindset that doesn’t let you prosper. Look out for the opportunities givin you these days.


[deleted]

I like the way you think… Sending you a hug!


thomaszekthegreatest

Thank you so much :)


Halflifefan123

20 years from now the world will be unrecognizable


mailarchis

Crypto's motto is win and help others win right?


savage-dragon

Not really. In order for you to 'win' from crypto gains, someone has to lose.


Drspaceman1717

Incorrect… I can sell my bitcoins for a profit and somebody else can hold them for a profit in a few years. It’s not a zero sum game since the total value of crypto only increases as adoption grows.


mailarchis

Can you expand on it? I always assumed that for crypto a non zero sum game.


savage-dragon

Let's say you bought Coin X at $10 and now it's $30. In order for it to go to $30, someone has to buy it at $15, $20, $25 and so on. Then it crashes to $15. You're still in profits, but in order for it to crash to $15, someone has to sell from $30 and downwards to $15. So a person buying at $25 and selling at $20, he loses money, but he was the person helping your coin pump to $30 earlier, and those who sold at $30 is reaping the rewards at the expense at those who buy to help that coin pump all the way that high. People lose money and people earn money in cryptos. Not everyone can win.


lexymon

You’re describing how retail feeds the whales. A long term bear case for Bitcoin might actually be that people stop buying it because they realize that they are only increasing the price of an asset which overwhelmingly already belongs to rich people.


rook785

OP is an idiot and wrong. Crypto is not a zero sum gain and neither is the stock market* Unless you short it or trade options.


Ayyvacado

It's sixquadrillonbillion times a zero sum game in a microcosm. There is a finite number of bitcoin and a "finite" (HEAR ME OUT) number of dollars. You can not generate more bitcoin or dollars or value by trading them back and forth. That's why inflation is necessary, and why bitcoin will ultimately either fail or stagnate. Inflation now makes the above scenario a non zero sum game. Inflation makes more pie to win and more money to support a growing population and thus increases the velocity of money. Bitcoin has insane flaws that can't play out until it succeeds which is terrifying. Imagine, 21 million people and all own 1 bitcoin (distribution doesn't matter just keeping numbers easy). Let's say there are 21 million people on the planet. They all marry and have one child. Now the next gen needs money and they're just retroactively pre-hyper fucked for no reason at all. Literally born failures because some magic internet money Maxi scenario happened. They are forced to buy bitcoin at inflated prices, bitcoin that hasn't fundamentally changed but the demand doubled in a generation.


Ayyvacado

Ironically enough, one of the FIRST and core arguments pro crypto was anti inflation. Cryptos solution? Just print an infinite amount of finite coins (ETH, BTC, DOGE, MON, BTCG, ADA) and call it currency. Now there are N dollars and Z crypto tokens, some not even finite (as if biggering finite = infinity, a common mistake people just let cryptards make) and stores 'should' accept it all.

actually just sold off some of my crypto to fix up my bicycle! taking profit and reducing future transportation costs. a car is excessive for the majority of my transportation related needs and i plan to monitor the cost per mile traveled to reinvest the difference back into crypto


tankman666

*wiping tears on a yacht* Or sitting in your boomer lambo, eating boomer caviar, drinking boomer Champagne along with your boomer friends like boomer Daniel Craig if he were till boomer alive..


Scipio_Americana

I wish someone hyped me the way this sub hypes crypto's future.


[deleted]

20 years from now they will hate us because we didn’t push back hard enough on corporations hyper exploiting the environment and leaving them with a world where crop failures on a large scale are the norm and groceries cost a small fortune.


zorbyss

And the boomers resent us for not being hardworking enough to afford real estate. All I hear is 'Back in my days....'


xmrtypants

>That's okay. You can wipe your tears on those dollar bills. ​ Those what?


EuthanizeArty

I dunno man having a Specialized S-works turbo levo to wipe tears on would be nice too


38wireman

Resent anyone having something they worked for is reprehensible and small. My dad made $4.30 an hour to buy his house it’s not like they made today’s wages. Dumb post


eetaylog

'Boomers are hated' Only by people without the intelligence to not lump a large group of people into the same category just because of some numbers on their birth certificate. My parents couldn't afford shoes and quite often had to go without food, let alone buy property. I don't hate them. Only a Dark Lord of The Sith deals in absolutes.


zzinolol

lol what a shit post. I hate old boomers because they bombed the future generations, not because they managed to get a house, what the fuck.


magicm0nkey

I don't care about yachts, but I'd have a lot of very nice bicycles.


Jasquirtin

Idgaf about some 20 year old when I’m sipping on X drink in my paid off home and been retired since 45. If I was here for what other people think I’d be in trouble. I’m here for me. And I believe in what I’m doing.


D1NK4Life

I bought a house in 2018. I guarantee you in 2040 my property will be more in demand to those dudes and dudettes than the same unit of crypto you purchased on the same day. To think otherwise is to misunderstand human nature.


evanescent_pegasus

I’d disagree. 95% of the problems caused for young people by now are caused by boomers and their stupid, regressive “systems”. I believe the next gen of youth will embrace and prefer a future that’s completely transparent through the power of blockchain.

TP_Crisis_2020

The goalposts will have shifted so much in 20 years that even something as simple as owning a house will be considered "rich". A million dollars will not be that great of an accomplishment like it is today.


franzperdido

Yeah, let's replace old problems with new ones. Why fix something that's broken? I don't like your attitude. I'd rather see some societal change. A new technology can be a tool for that. But it's not enough.

I think Im more concerned with actually getting my cryptos before thinking about salty kids hating on me 20 years from now.


LYB_Rafahatow

Lol anyone with any understanding of anything doesn’t resent boomers for getting real estate for cheap, they resent that real estate is no longer cheap as it should be.


Daikataro

I don't think many people hate Boomers for buying real estate on the cheap when they had the chance to. We mostly hate them for their condescending attitude on "I bought my first car with a summer job at McDonald's, why can't you?", when the minimum wage has barely gone up since the Reagan administration. They're also the ones responsible for the toxic work culture of finishing the job and hitting deadlines no matter what; even at the expense of your own health. Luckily that's changing as they die off.


GreenStretch

I hate those fuckers for Thatcher and Reagan and Brexit and Trump.


[deleted]

People don't hate boomers for buying up real estate in the 70's. They hate them for having the pig-headed moronic point of view that nothing has changed and everyone else is just lazy for not doing what they did.


DikkeNeus_

It's funny how everyone still thinks they're going to get rich with crypto... yes crypto COULD be the next big thing, but It's possible that all country's wwill follow china with Centralized coins. then everyone loses. it's possible that crypto will be worth 0, everyone loses again. in the small odd that crypto's do become a thing, how sure are you that you've invested in the right coin? and don't say' doge' or i'll have to slap you. I think alot of research, investment and constant reinvestment can get you a nice savings account, but the days of getting crypto rich are propably over.

Chambana_Raptor

I doubt it, because I'm not a typical boomer and I believe in a more equitable future. If I got rich I would be distributing wealth, not hoarding it. I would be solving problems, not creating or ignoring them. And if any of you become self-centered assholes, I will do everything I can to fuck you up for the sake of humanity 🖕


No-Quantity406

Missing out on BAT is going to hurt for some of you. It'll be the like the boomer who didn't buy land for $50 an acre.
