THE ERA OF "LONG-TERM STARTUPS": WHY ARE YOUNG PEOPLE NO LONGER PATIENT?
Nearly 70% of global crypto participants are under 40 years old. 4 out of 5 countries leading in crypto adoption are developing economies. Millennials and Gen Z make up over 70% of high-risk financial platform activities.
This is no coincidence.
The traditional path to wealth is becoming increasingly unattainable. Incomes are rising slower than housing prices. Pensions are being adjusted unfavorably. AI is beginning to threaten jobs once considered stable. Patience of 30–40 years to "get your turn" is no longer an attractive option.
In this context, young people turn to speculation not due to ignorance, but due to lack of alternatives. Speculation gives them a sense of control, fast results, and most importantly: the opportunity to change their position in a short time.
Crypto has become the most accessible channel: small capital, low fees, no intermediaries, 24/7 open markets. It doesn't guarantee success, but allows trying one's luck when the safe path is nearly guaranteed to lead to stagnation.
Speculation itself is not bad. Danger arises only when risks are misunderstood.
In a world where safety is no longer enough, young people are forced to take higher risks in hopes of moving faster.#CryptoNarratives #GenZFinance
