We can see it today as young people are getting taught about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. However, I don’t think that it really affects the economy because people invest in cryptocurrencies, and when they make gains, they tend to use it for other bigger physical investments. Asides that, everyone can’t be rich. There will always be people who would prefer to live a lowly life and own their farm instead of online investment. Cowboys still handle herd of cattle even if Bitcoin is going ATH.

Each person or certain generation is different in choosing their path in life, so differences in choosing investments also often appear to vary among current generations. And for those who have made profits through crypto investments and are returning to other investments in physical form in this world, that is a good choice and in general it will definitely affect their economy in their respective lives. Even though not everyone can get rich at the same time, at least there are many people who are willing to try their best to get more comfort and profit.

The cowboys who still manage their ranches are not people who deliberately choose to live a simple life, but they may already have more other assets out there so they can feel calm enough in taking care of their ranches. Because work such as livestock is always separate from Bitcoin, so anyone who has bought Bitcoin and holds it can of course still do other work such as taking care of livestock because it is a different job from what he bought before. So this certainly has nothing to do with Bitcoin or the ATH that Bitcoin has achieved.

I tell you that someone of them are doing it because they love it. They are happy and it’s fun for them. Event the farmers we speak of, some people love to farm. It doesn’t matter how much money you bring them, they love planting and nurturing fruits, trees, etc. There are also people who don’t have interest in online investments, they would rather do something that can be seen and touched physically than online. There will always be different kinds of people, even the type you never believed existed.

this is quite worrying, considering that agriculture and food are two things that are quite important in a country. when the younger generation prefers to invest in cryptocurrency rather than in the agricultural and livestock sectors, it will have a significant impact on local industry and this could lead to basic agricultural and livestock prices soaring. prices of basic commodities may become unreasonable and that will have a negative impact on society.

and because of this problem, it is necessary for various stakeholders to be able to ensure that the younger generation can know more about agriculture and animal husbandry and can be interested and directly involved in the industry. if stakeholders can campaign positively for the industry and provide various incentives to those who want to invest or get involved in the industry, it will be very possible for the younger generation to see the potential of the industry.

Bitcoin adoption can never be a threat to the economy besides bitcoin adoption is better compared to other investment choice, an individual can also engage in both but let's not think the agriculture sector will go down sooner or later, it's impossible as everyone have different choice to make. It's certain the younger generation will definitely make use of bitcoin as it's seen now in our generation, little children still engage in digital technology and different gaming project.  I still believe the agriculture sector will be better in the next generation compared to our generation presently. As the world continue to modernize we should be prepared to accept new inventions, technology like wise our agriculture sector, including bitcoin adoption cause no modernize society will decide to go against bitcoin adoption like how? I know the new generation have more things to offer so it's best to start educating them about the digital currency bitcoin.

So this certainly has nothing to do with Bitcoin or the ATH that Bitcoin has achieved.

In my opinion, currently with the current generation, they don't think about this, most of the current generation only think about styles that are currently trendy, because maybe that is one of the mandatory requirements for hanging out, whether it's because of prestige or thirsty for praise. they don't think about their future, maybe there is a small part of the current generation who think about their future, by doing hard work and saving or studying investments because they want their future to be able to achieve financial freedom. Everyone's desire is of course wealth and comfort, but there are people who don't want to try but want wealth or a comfortable life, that's annoying.

I think farming work or bitcoin investment are both good, I don't think either of these two things are bad. Of course, everyone has different thoughts, and as you said, everyone has their own path in life, maybe there are those who are comfortable with having a farm because it is a real activity carried out with body movements and so on. and it's the same with investments. both are equally good things.

I do not know what country you are from but in my country,  majority of the youth are not Interested in agriculture.  They would rather go for Cryptocurrency investments or other white collar jobs. There is obviously no balance between food production and other sectors of the economy and I think OP is actually right about the fact that food security might not be a priority for the younger generations.

We are fast entering into the era of food Scarcity and the obvious reason is that the agricultural sector has been neglected for other sectors they think is quite profitable.  This should be a major cause for concern, if there is no balance between other sectors of the economy and the agricultural sector,  people will have to pay a fortune to get food and other agricultural products which includes raw materials for other forms of production.

Obviously not everyone will go into crypto,  the younger generation are in every other sectors with just few young people investing in food production.
It's possible that they have personal reasons behind that,

The first thing might be the young generation does not see any future if they continue working in any agricultural jobs. It might be they don't think that if they focus only on farming, they will have a better life for themselves and their family. That's why they often find some other source of income where they can get a better payment.

Or maybe the government needs to give more attention to the agricultural sector. There should be at least one person in the government who will never neglect the future of farming as they will probably face a lot of difficulties if ever there are no longer young people who would like to continue doing this job.

In this scenario, the local government needs to provide more help to the farmers. I know this is not an easy thing to do as they have other things to consider, but there's no other way to make them continue farming if the government doesn't take any action.

There is a huge possibility of younger or new generations adopting cryptocurrency investments compared to them getting interests on farming and food related sectors. What do you think? Does it have a good or bad effects on our economy?
Though there Is sence in what you said, cryptocurrency has been the talk of the day and the younger generation is looking upto it as a means of survival and also an escape route of poverty. One thing is for sure, everybody can not be a cryptocurrency investor or trader. Some people will belong to other aspect of life, but I strongly believe that the more reason for inflation in our country today is the inability of people or youths to adventure into farming system. If majority of people go into farming there will be more food and it will reduce inflation. Emagin when people have much money and less food in the economy, the little food will become expensive and that is what will happen. In time coming the farmers will be reacher than some interpreneu because food Is very vital and everyone must Eat.

I hope that people will start to open their eyes and see what happens when you let corporations choose what goes into the food supply. It just makes me sick the kind of things they get away with in the USA - I can only hope that we could take our eyes off of greed and look ahead towards the green. There is nothing greener about growth! Execpt for aping a fat bag but you know what I mean on those gainz. I sure do hope that these youngsters will wise up!!!

This possibility is really very high, but although even as that most people won’t still deviate from agriculture completely, you might not see them farming but their money is working for them. People this period prefer to invest on something why they allow others to work for them, like the farming industry their are lot of people who are into it and they stay close to the farm, what they need is machinery and land space which is where investors comes in, they buy machinery and land for them and at the end of the farm season they share profit with one another.

Even if the younger or new generation are completely into adoption and investment of crypto currency, there are still going to be some visionaries among them who will engage in a Commercial Farming system where he can use the profit from his crypto investment to start a commercial farming system that can allow him to also make so much profit from farming. In this century, people are not farming for their individual selfs again because many of them have seen agriculture as a dirty work and they have now become focused on white collar jobs. The only people who are into agriculture are those who still know how beneficial and profitable the agricultural system is.

Even as the younger generation adopting cryptocurrency we should also consider that there is some sectors or companies that focuses on farming/production which could help people in future, but due to inflation and increase in farm productions most of the people around my locality is gradually adopting the system of subsistence farming. Where they feed from their farm products without the needs to rely on a general supply from across seller or retailers, we know technology is gradually taking place but that doesn't mean agriculture would be totally eliminated then how do feed on and if I'm not mistakenly agriculture should be the number one priority in every countries since we can't live without food.

Cryptocurrency investment has greatly improved and been adopted in recent years, but I do not believe that all future generations will be so focused on cryptocurrency that they ignore the food sector, which is essential for the world's survival. Many people's attention may have shifted to cryptocurrency, and the few that remain will always benefit from investing in agriculture. If agricultural products become scarce, the implication is that they will be extremely expensive to purchase, and this will be reflected back to those venturing into cryptocurrency while ignoring agriculture to buy with more money. For me, it's a 50/50 split.

Take note that not everyone has the capability to learn about crypto, some people are better when it comes to skilled work compared to office or digital type of business or income, so I can't say if all young people will choose to focus on crypto compared to other work like farming. Here in our country, it's almost the same or balance, because there are a few whose families are rich but prefer to stay in the province to handle their lands or farms but some of them also have knowledge when it comes to crypto and for sure they have an investment too. Mostly businessmen are smart, practical, wise and they really diversify their wealth because they don't just want to stick to a single source of income.

I do not know what country you are from but in my country,  majority of the youth are not Interested in agriculture.  They would rather go for Cryptocurrency investments or other white collar jobs.

Food prices will rise over 20 years because of how the world economy is developing, at present many people avoid eating meat due to the price it costs.  If you find many more countries able to purchase limited resources then the prices will rise for that product so part of the inflation people complain about will be the export of food to countries able to pay a higher price for it.

Part of the rising cost to food will be Fertilizer and control of that resource which not every country has a source of, this greatly alters crop yield and enhances the local market prices around the productive farms with this resource.  If you continually grow and harvest without returning anything to the soil it will turn farms into poor performing enterprises and business advantage will go elsewhere.  SO just judging Fertilizer prices and access to this resource should indicate some of the demand, its a decade long term market imo as harvest though annual is reliant on long term factors such as the water table, weather and quality of soil

And the purpose of investing should be profit making, which is the reason people look for a good asset in the market to invest their money and have hope of earning from the investment when bull run come and it will be a good decision to carry out your research before conclude your choice.

Once you have the money on ground and you also have the skills in that particular business you are about to start and the location you want to establish the business is a busy area,  I guess you will never be poor again because you have all the skills the business required.
indeed the aim of investment is for profit, but this can happen if we make and carry out investments, also depending on the knowledge we have, if our investment knowledge is extensive and good, perhaps there will be no losses, because in my opinion losses in investments can be avoided by we have good knowledge, and conversely, if we don't have good knowledge then it is possible that the investment we make will not produce a profit, it will only result in a loss, therefore I think before making an investment we must be able to have good knowledge first .
and also with business, if we really want to start a business there are many things that we have to pay attention to, and what you said is true, skills are one of the things you must have when you want to start a business, because with good skills I think the business you run will run well so that it can generate profits or development. Not everyone can do business, because there are people who are lazy to move on to something better.

I don't think so, nowadays young people are also interested in getting involved in agriculture because it is a basic need for many people. However, different from the older generation, young people prefer to develop their agricultural fields using more sophisticated technology which increases the efficiency and effectiveness of agricultural fields.
But it's just that currently the government is not really focused on the agricultural sector, especially in terms of prices of agricultural products, this makes young people a little hesitant about getting involved in this industry. If only the government could care more about the welfare of farmers, perhaps more young people would join this field.
Technology in the agricultural sector has become a necessity and is needed so that it can run effectively. And indeed, in developed countries, many young generations are starting to become interested in agriculture, because apart from having technology, the agricultural sector is also very promising in the future.

Because actually every country has to think about food security, and food security is of course in the hands of the younger generation. However, unfortunately many of the young generation in my country today are not interested in agriculture because agriculture does not provide much hope for their future. Nowadays, many young children are asked what their dreams are. They will definitely answer that they want to become a YouTuber, influencer, trader and so on.

So it's not just the regeneration of livestock breeders that is threatened, livestock breeders and other sectors are also threatened, although currently it is not yet significant. So it is true, as you said, with problems like this, the government should focus on the agricultural sector so that the younger generation is interested in agriculture, so that the country has good food security, so that the country's economic growth also grows.

For a layman, not necessarily an uncivilised man but an average man, it is easier to learn how to farm than how to earn from cryptocurrency or bitcoin. What I mean in essence is that farming is easier than cryptocurrency trading, investments or mining.  There are also people who do not like risky business.  If they are not sure that $100 will give them $150 the next month, they will not risk it. Apart from cryptocurrency, there are other ways people earn.

Talking about Agriculture, we all know that it is not as primitive as it used to be those days. Many things have actually changed.  Mechanisation and Robotics has made it possible that group of 10 men can produce food 10,000 people will consume.

This crisis demands innovation.  Imagine a world where we don't rely solely on traditional agriculture.  Perhaps the answer lies in "designer food," where oil and gas, currently used for fuel, are cleverly transformed into edible resources.  This shift wouldn't just put food on tables; it would also curb our dependence on fossil fuels.

Finance, the engine of progress, has limitations.  It can't conjure food out of thin air.  A world obsessed with stocks and bonds might neglect the fields and farms that sustain us.  Imagine a society where everyone's a trader, but no one's a farmer.  That's a recipe for disaster.

So, the younger generation holds the key. They can't afford to be one-dimensional.  Yes, finance and technology are important, but so is nurturing the green revolution.  We need engineers who can design vertical farms, scientists who can create drought-resistant crops, and entrepreneurs who can bridge the gap between innovation and affordability.

So this means you'll turn an already scarce resource into food, which will, in turn, drive demand more to fuel and deplete that even faster. It doesn't solve anything, and and it just adds more problem. No matter how fancy the solution is, the basics are still the most reliable and most practical to solve the problem. Have more farmers, allot more manpower to the farming industry, and possibly sustain food a little longer for the population before we can invent other reliable methods.
