The bias arising from the Mechanical Turk platform is to be noted. That said, if the MSM's framing of the youths as rabid leftists was true, I don't think they'd be bullish on crypto.

Totally false “survey.” It claims to represent Gen Z adults and millenials. It does not.

The article was written to convince people to get into “crypto”. That advice is very bad advice. It is no better than advising people to buy lottery tickets as a retirement strategy.

Crypto is based entirely on the expectation of future increases, and those expectations are based on the hopes of a continuous stream of new investors, which the article is trying to create.

The problem is that the dollar is constantly losing value because the government is constantly issuing new dollars. People try to avoid getting hurt by the loss of value, and seek stability by other means. Crypto is not going to provide that stability. It’s up to government to stop creating new dollars.

I should have put all my money in Zimbucks. Have you seen the price for one of the famous $100,000,000,000,000 bills on eBay? You could have bought stacks of them cheaply years ago, but one was $219.99 with a "Certificate of Authenticity" that states "It has been verified as authentic by examination of security features including the backlight and UV tests."

The only risk was that Zimbabwe would have printed a quadrillion dollar bill and made yours an afterthought.

So many also own precious real estates in the virtual world!

I am wondering, when all those imaginary properties and imaginary crypto go down to 0!

You know this article is fake because Gen z and millennials don’t invest.

46% of millennials believe they can become millionaires by investing in cryptocurrencies

I suppose this is true, if they invest 5 million.

And very few of them even own a house, which show you how ignorant they are about investing…

Yikes. I have a lot of millenial aquaintances and they’re bullish on crypto. I worked in investments (and during the crash of 2009, I even lost big in so-called safe investments when my bonds defaulted... it was a bloodbath that I have yet to recover from.)

It was brutal, and I keep telling the young’ins, crypto is beyond risky. Heck, the stock market in general is risky — but still.

At least I’m introducing a handful to Dave Ramsey. Maybe they’ll wise up.

The value of crypto is that its not Federal Reserve notes which lose value over time (by design).

Thus Federal Reserve notes fail one of the properties of money. A store of value.

Do crypto’s store value better over time. No one knows.

They other value of crypto’s is that they are supposedly private. Thus preventing your wealth from being stolen by the government.

But anything digital can be shut down or tracked. It just a question of how much effort the Government decides to put into it.

The push towards crypto is really a push towards digital money and thus more control, not less.
