And soon it will happen in the USA.
The baby boomer population is getting older.
They hold a lot of the wealth right now.

I don't think the US will get there:

  1. Our old people are substantially less healthy, so they have higher mortality
  2. We have far more young immigrants
  3. We have a much higher birth rate
reply

Old people have a tendency to linger.
Im not saying our situation will get as bad as Japans, but you can already see the imbalance.

reply

Absolutely. It's a difference in degree, not a difference in kind.

reply

There is supposed to be a big transfer of wealth...
But maybe it wont happen if the boomers dont put money into btc?
Even though the millennial generation is said to have the lowest amount of wealth accumulated, it might change if enough people adopt it.

reply

The Boomers ain't transferring nothin'. We have to build our own wealth and stop thinking about transfers.

reply

I realize this.
They will probably use what little they saved in their retirement, as costs increase.

reply

Yep. Most of it will go to outlandish medical expenses.

reply

Depends on much they focus on their health.
Some people get into that kind of stuff.
And when they have more time in retirement...
