It is perfectly fine to be general millennial, who want to act like any other generation from the previous gen? Do you see any gen millennial who act and think like their grand parent? Their grand parent do not play game, do not use internet, do not forum, do not shop online, but they frequent physical brick and mortar, dine at star bucks, use the Nokia dumb phone.

Of course it is good! I can’t say the same for the rest of the society, they will tell you, they support POTUS, where USD is the only strongest currency in this world, no Libra no bitcoin, no nothing.

Big part of them are mobile phone gamers, I think think game on the public place, where they could have better signal reception, their parent basement can’t have all the goodness from 5G connectivity.😄



These are really interesting times. Millennials are the first generation where the economic prospects are decidedly worse than the previous generation. Generation Z will be the 2nd. The kids I'm around seem more aware of this phenomenon than I ever was when I was young.

I was having seminar with some of the youngest mind in the generation z, base on their question raised during a faq session, I think it make sense they’re very well aware of the problem around them.


That might be the only thing that saves them.

You’re not sure it is a valid savior, of course I would tend to the opposite outcome, they could be screwed big time!

The next generation z will have even longer life span, they may well live longer than 100 years old, with advance in medication, AI, self consciousness upload to digital realm and all, nope time is not valuable, it’s way more excessive with newer generation.

Maybe not mostly video games but social medias and always spending time on the net. I can't really say that all of them or mostly of them have this kind of lifestyle. It would probably be dependent on how the parents discipline their children. Even non millennial can be addicted to gaming at internet as well.

We cannot actually generalize all millenial screwed. In fact there are a lot of young people who were able to earn a lot and start or even choose the career they want due to cryptocurrency. Not to mention the gaming industry, a lot of teens are starting to earn a lot of money and gaming industry is starting to get big. There are professional gamers who earn thousands or even millions of dollars without a degree, vloggers, and etc. It is just that we must face it that we are already in a different era where people are dependent to technology.

I think the difference is more about the culture, not about the age. I find Hofstede's paper [1] is more accurate than this generation x, y, z, blood type, fingerprints, and other pseudoscience nonsense.

Youngsters tend to be rebellious, yes, because of puberty. That's it. Some will grow up and take responsibility, while some will blame the world for their own failure. [2]

I don't think the millennial generation as what of you think. Maybe you only see it's happening in your neighborhood because I am sure that many of the millennial generations have positive things to do. They can be as you said if they don't have a positive mind to prepare their future. I don't think most of them know about bitcoin and maybe only some of them try to learn bitcoin. Yes, the millennial generation will always be on the headlines since they have a new idea of what they do every day. I don't think crypto will make millennial generation more screwed because I believe they will use crypto properly.

A nice quote, thanks. I think this is a good demonstration of the fact that a lot of the problem with judging things or people from the outside is the difference in perspective. Someone who is 80 years old will have a view of the world that is heavily influenced by the value systems he developed when he was growing up, which relates in large part to the values of the society of that time. An 80 year old judging a 20 year old will always find the youngster lacking in some way, because he is measuring someone against a value system that is not relevant to that person. An 80 year old likely grew up thinking that environmental issues were the sort of thing that hampers the industrialisation of a society, whereas to a 20 year old environmental issues relate to survivability on the planet due to global warming.  One human judging another (or a group of others) will always have an opinion that is skewed by their own value system.

You know what?

This type of question has been asked throughout many millennia of human history (obviously, to highlight the friction between the younger and the older generation). A quotation seems appropriate:


Now guess how long ago it was written. For crying out loud, THREE THOUSAND YEARS AGO!

I feel strongly that a lot of the problems that millennials and younger generations face and will face are not of their own making.  It is undeniable that jobs now are less secure and less well paid, that university tuition is far more expensive and that housing is also far more expensive. Also as they get older they will face more problems not of their own making, such as worse pensions and of course global warming / climate change.

However they also have opportunities that other generations have not had. Crypto is one of these.

I think whatever generation you are from, you will face opportunities and challenges, and the key to a successful life is to face these with a sense of responsibility for your own actions. Different people and different generations are dealt different hands in the game of life - the important thing is to make the best of the hand you've been dealt.

This millennial generation is still very low their understanding about the world of cryptocurrency, so they only become spectators without wanting to learn together. I think if they want to learn about Crypto I'm sure their lives will improve, without games, because they are busy with Crypto.

But there is a certain common set of behaviors and attitudes that are peculiar to a certain generation which are shared by the majority of the people. These are basically influenced on them by the different development factors that are surrounding them. The 80's for sure had a certain common behavior shared by the youngsters back then just as the post war era also influenced to a certain extent the attitude of the people. This is natural. But we cannot tell as early as now whether the millennial will be screwed or not due to their involvement in crypto.

not all millennial generation screwed. but i know what you mean.
old generation have different situation with young generation. when the old gen less way to be success and you must really need more effort and hardwork, different with young gen, they have many ways that created cause of old gen. some of young gen know something instantly, and they do without and safety. some of them can sirvive and the other fall.
how about if young take in to the bitcoin? i think they have different ways, maybe they take old ways or they use their ways or they combine the two of them.

In any generation, there will be people who are smart, dumb, diligent, lazy, hard worker, spoilt, etc. Hence, we cannot generalize the traits of millennials.

The one who thinks thoroughly about his own life and takes responsibilities will prosper, while the one who lets the world dictates his presence will cause problems.

Theres a huge difference between millennials and generation Z, and I think generation Z is worse than the millennials.
Since you talked about video games, where there are a lot of young people (students) who spend most of their time to play online games (more than 8 hours) with the hopes of becoming a pro and play for the international tournament.
 Do you think these young people need more attention to learn how to make themselves better in financial aspects more than the millennials?


   
I think not, If they are passionate with investing for their future. This is gonna be their first step to attain what they have missed during the time when they had no financial planning.

This is not surprising at all. Millennial are the worst victims of consumerism and of being too mundane in their lives. They are used to comfort and convenience. They are also the ones who are complaining too much yet very adventurous and risk-takers. These are all my personal observations and I like them for being unlikeable (if there is such a word).

Crypto is going to be pushed into the mainstream because of them. I don't think crypto will screw them. In fact, crypto will reinforce them for who they are, probably make them richer even.   

This is a pretty silly version of venting issues with the newer generation and it gives off those 'back in my day' sort of feelings.

There are some studies that showed people are more likely to invest in Bitcoin and other crypto-currencies if they are in the age group of 18-28 (or something like that). This likely happens due to the younger generation's obession with tech.

As for the other factors - everyone takes out student loans, they might spend a bit more money, but who cares, they are just teenagers.

More millennials are risk taker and good for innovation and progress, we might see them too much in social media but they are smarter than ever in terms of having strategies to earn money, social media, creative writing and video blogging that helps many millennials family in our country to have a better living. The fact that some are students, it's just some maybe over-used being millenniasl in a bad side but some uses in for better opportunities. We just can't please anyone.

1. Yes, most millennial generation peeps spend a lot of time playing video games. BUT that doesn't necessarily mean a bad thing though? Imagine using illegal drugs and joining illegal frats and hazing, ain't that a lot worse? Besides, playing video games doesn't necessarily mean that the millennial would turn out to be an idiot with no future.

3. Gotta agree on this one. I have seen a lot of people involved with student loans. But can't really blame them. Prices are being hiked up almost every day.

4. Same reasoning. Almost all types of enjoyment need the money and almost all of those are quite expensive. Plus, if you compared those people who are just above the poor level, where they really ain't reach but can handle the most basic necessities of a family, having no savings could be quite acceptable to people who want to enjoy life.

5. Idk about others but I'd rather let schools teach me how to job hunt, requirements with job hunting or something similar to that instead of teaching subjects that are repeated ALMOST EVERY YEAR. Jeez. They say that when you graduate, life becomes hard and yet they don't teach how to live that hard life, how to make it easier.

6. Well, spending in bitcoin isn't really a bad thing though? It's actually a worthwhile investment. At least, rather than buying stupid sht like illegal drugs, id rather spend it on bitcoin.

I think it's inevitable, and this generation would surely use cryptocurrencies and other services. And I don't think it would make them more screwed either, they might make mistakes but we also know that they can adapt fastly to these new technologies, knowing the ins and outs in crypto. Also, as time passes by, more and more millenials would know about crypto and would invest on it since it has future use-cases that fiat does not have, further boosting its market.

Not all millenials are immature like what that OP was saying, yes, they have a lot of hobbies now but in that way, they are exploring their selves, most of Millenials nowadays are using internet to make money, to connect with people. Although, there are millenials, who were spending almost all of their days in gaming, browsing facebook and watching korean series.

I think it is not that bad. For me millennials have a good chance into our society because of the technology they know better about technology than others. And that's the key to information and the more information you have the more chance they can earn money. I think we should just have better guidance and better inderstanding on what they want and what their strenght is so that we can harnest their talent and their full potential. Maybe the worst part of this is that because of the technology inovation fewer and fewer wanting to farm and to cultivate lands for agriculture. And other thing our planet's forest area are becaming smaller and smaller. That is why.  We need to restore our plannet but the new generations or the millennials a lot of them don't have interest on this things. Maybe here in bitcointalk we can also talk about charitable works on restoring our environment. We can raise crypto funds into helping our community to restore our environment.
