Future generations will say the same about early btc hoddlers and our generational wealth made from ass milking on SN
Aaah, this i think about a decent bit. Not sure it's the same at all... We didn't accidentally stumble into something broken and rode the wave all the way to the bank, we proof-of-work worked hard and suuuuffffeeered. We learned and made a choice, the consequences of which we carry — put differently, if bitcoin doesn't work out nobody is going to bail us out and reimburse the funds/time we wasted on it
While I agree, i feel like the hypothetical angry socialist youth of the future will ignore the nuance
Lol and heres me the angry old Socialist Boomer who rode the BTC wave to a very comfortable self funded retirement (no need for the states welfare checks) but I seriously pity those reduced to arsemilking on SNs- Have some fucking dignity and stop drowning in self pity, hypocrisy and sophistry!
i feel like young people wouldn't mind so much propping it up, if they didn't feel like they were robbed of the same opportunities and that they would be looked after when their time rolled around. Boomers lived in a defined world of do x, and the result will be y, and it seemed to work pretty well.
pump gas for a summer, pay your entire tuition, get a guaranteed job, usually for life, rinse and repeat.
I don't blame them; they were just doing what was the done thing. Whereas now, all those systems are broken, at an end-stage fiat, in a 4th turning, and a 20-year-old is having the extra panic of AI taking more jobs, so they can be plumbers or try OF.
Then they start looking at socialism and the idea of redistruibtion becuase it's 'fair' starts sounds super appealing.
