Zoomers and Their Take on Bitcoin

Boomers: "Bitcoin ain't real." And the same Boomers: "We retired with a sweet pension from a job that was just about shuffling papers and bought three homes for what a used lawn mower costs." Millennials: "Just got laid off from three remote gigs I never knew I had." And also Millennials: "But hey, at least the startup threw a pizza party and acted like we’re family." Zoomers: Crickets. Zoomers don’t bother arguing. They’re over the nonsense. They just crunch the numbers. They grew up seeing institutions collapse, savings disappear, BlackRock snatching up their houses, and wars streamed live like sporting events. They're not buying into narratives because none of that ever helped them pay rent. Bitcoin is straight-up money. No need for belief in some story it just works, no matter what. So they’re stacking sats. Not out of some ideology, but because they’re asking, "What still functions when everything else falls apart?" Every generation gets the currency it deserves. This one needs money that’s legit.

Zoomers really does sound like a name for a faction in a dystopian movie series.. the ones who finally see through the simulation. For those still clinging to a system designed to make you feel safe while the floor is being pulled out from under you, I hope the realization comes sooner rather than later. Bitcoin isn’t just a financial tool, it’s a truth system. It’s a network where nothing lies because everything is verified. You can’t fake it, and you certainly can’t break it.They may try to shake Bitcoin because they fear the day it fully surpasses the paper shuffling systems they built, but it’s simply unshakable. We really owe a lot to the fact that Satoshi Nakamoto stayed anonymous. Think about it, If Satoshi were known, the government would likely have them in shackles for the crime of setting people free. By disappearing, Satoshi ensured Bitcoin had no head to cut off. And where theres no head to cut off, the government has literally no point to attack the system..this allowed bitcoin to be about the math, not the person. Satoshi built exactly what the future needs. As time goes on, the math will keep doing the talking while the old narratives continue to fail.

This feels less like a generational debate and more like an honest diagnosis of the moment. When stories stop paying the bills, people naturally lean toward systems that don’t need belief to function. After watching trust get broken over and over again, skepticism isn’t rebellion, it’s survival.  Bitcoin isn’t about narratives anymore, it’s now about what still works when everything else feels fragile. Feels good to read from you again, I’ve actually missed your poetic writings. How you regularly use poetry to drive your points home in a way that really sticks is what makes want to read from you as often as possible.

Every time I see your topic on Bitcoin board, it’s always something poetic. I absolutely love this phrase Every generation gets the money it deserves. This one deserves money that is real. I think this generation are very curious, expressive and unafraid of going against the system. IMO that’s why Bitcoin is real to them, whereas many Millennials and Boomers have trusted the system all their life and are too scared to do anything that’s not in the script.

Seriously agree with this because i can say that unlike while I hate many things that Zoomers or the current generations do a lot I think that they lack the audacity to actually try out new things and were very timid like they only go for actually what the political elites actually predict for them to actually do and that’s why they are the generation which government easily crumbles with strict regulations. This particular Zoomers are actually very audacious to try everything that they find curious and that’s how most of them were even able to get into bitcoin very early and can even said that it’s why bitcoin even got the early recognition first, although it’s advantage paves the way more for the investors to come

Zoomers are just being realistic, they stacked deflationary currency because they know everything else is crumbling from high inflation to job scarcity so the only way in world like this is through bitcoin. There has been so many crypto millionaires. According to the report there are 241k crypto millionaires which i'm sure big portion of that belong to Zoomers and they won't be able to achieve that success everywhere else but crypto. They just know if they want to become something, it's through crypto.

Anything servces a purpose of exchange for other things, it's money. There is no real and fake money. Calling Bitcoin is not a real money is against that very basic principle, and it's wrong. Bitcoin is not a bullshit money as it has shown its quality in technology to practice for many Bitcoin users since 2009. Bitcoin purchasing power has increased in a parabolic curve that has ever existed before. Its growth from adoption, value to purchasing power are all unprecended in human history, and more important, it's not a bubble. The bullish case for Bitcoin.

It's really not that deep  Different generations, different ways of thinking. Rather than a pissing contest on which generation is best, I think we should try diplomacy as an attempt to market Bitcoin to the nocoiners. Every generation can want Bitcoin for their own reasons.

They have different approach because people have different understanding base on situations they know. So instead of proving on which generation Bitcoin became a great asset, much better if we show on how they can use it and take advantage on the opportunity what Bitcoin could give to us. There are people threat it as asset to fight against inflation and other call it as it gives them freedom. Bitcoin is great asset and every generation sees good opportunity that's why many now try to adapt and invest on Bitcoin.

Do you really believe that the zoomers are stacking sats? I think that most zoomers are drown into student and consumer debt and can't afford to save any money whatsoever. Some zoomers are working at part time jobs, others are unemployed. Many zoomers got hooked into gambling(sports betting in particular), because nowadays everything feels like gambling or playing a videogame. Stacking satoshis won't secure the financial future of the zoomers, because Bitcoin will never grow 10x anymore. We are heading towards the AI dystopia and the future is going to suck(I guess). Bitcoin isn't going to save anyone.

Had to search what zoomers are and turns out they’re Gen Z those born from 1997 to 2012. I have to agree, This generation is breaking the norms. I have seen a lot of kids talk about crypto like they use it in the daily. They don’t want to follow the system anymore. Everyone is romanticizing decentralization and being your own boss and owning your own money. I am sure the next generation will even be more radical and would understand bitcoin even more.

It's not just technology that is advancing, even the children we give birth to seems advanced more compared to the children we used to give birth to some years back, I don't know if it's only in my region that this is experienced, back then, when a child is newly born, it will take from three days to 7 days before the child will open his or her eyes.. But today, immediately a baby comes out from the womb, his or her two eyes will be wide open and steering at you like wtf 😂 It is certain that the coming generation will do far more than we are currently seeing this generation do, in terms of tech and everything related to it which includes bitcoin and cryptocurrencies at large..

While there definitely seems to be different levels of interest in Bitcoin coming from different generations, I often wonder if they are interested in Bitcoin or the monetary value it brings.  One could argue it is pretty much the same thing, after all we never liked the Fiat as an Asset but the purchasing power it brought and the easy way you could purchase things with it with. But in my mind I am conflicted.  Is it important that they like Bitcoin or that they like its growing value backed by computational power?  Because on one hand I want them to appreciate Bitcoin for what it is and offers while on the other hand I do not really care as long as people give up their Fiat for Bitcoin. As long as there will be a slowly approaching collapse of Fiat, people will feel growingly worried and uncertain and many of them will find Bitcoin.  Now all I am hoping for is that people will also realize all the power and Freedom it offers besides its value in Fiat.  After all, when the time comes for Fiat to start falling down, maybe even the boomers will find hope in Bitcoin.

It is sad, but I have heard that directly from several baby boomers. They say it easily, without bothering to research what they are saying. When I challenge them, they start talking about politeness. It is strange, but most of them are like that: unwilling to give in, finding it difficult to accept the changing times, or the sophisticated era. Personally, I have had several arguments with this generation, and when it comes to Bitcoin, they seem reluctant to accept my explanations. If they would just listen a little, I think they are the generation that could accelerate Bitcoin adoption, and they would certainly benefit from it. In my country, many baby boomers still remain blind to Bitcoin, and they are enjoying their positions in government, without thinking about the future of the next generation of the nation (not all). It is truly sad. I hope the generation after the baby boomers can be part of the financial revolution, especially regarding Bitcoin and cryptocurrency. I am sure it will happen sooner or later, and it will be comprehensive.

Fiat will bloat harder and harder, while tech like BTC will be more and more valuable due to the printers doing their thing. Older people didn't need tools like that to be on top of the chain and live comfortably. But we do, in our day and age.

I honestly cannot distinguish the two. Bitcoin is useful, and that's why it has a growing monetary value. Now it's useful for a host variety of reasons, like self-custody, difficult to compromise, impossible to counterfeit, easy & cheap to transfer, resistant to arbitrary inflation, resistant to tariffs, etc. etc., infinite other reasons. They all fall into usefulness which is expressed economically. I want people to make their own choices, and lead themselves to their own conclusions. That is the basis of human action. If most people find value in bitcoin, because it is resistant to inflation, then so be it. I personally think this is the biggest problem it solves.

I really want bitcoin to continue being one of the guaranteed ways to preserve wealth, because at the moment there are practically no other options that are as convenient and efficient. If we exclude gold, it comes with much more hassle, and it also has its own cycles, often requiring significantly more time to achieve the same returns as bitcoin. As for bonds, they carry a higher level of risk, and there is a possibility of losing invested capital. That’s why bitcoin truly appears to be one of the most understandable and promising options at the present time. I sincerely hope it will remain that way in the future.

When the world turns around and chooses to make you live harder just by staying on the same place, not like in the old days - you adapt, and you choose what's best for you, not for the institutions.

I mean, you are talking about an entire generation which grew up surrounded with technology and knows how internet, memes and gadgets work, it is natural they know about Bitcoin and how much value it has as currency of the future, since it delivers what it promised to people since it's creation. Older generations do not know anything about internet, memes or technology, and considering they are the reason why zoomers are having a rough time getting housing, healthcare and social benefits, it makes sense Zoomers do not listen to boomers when they talk shit about Bitcoin. Alpha generation is going to be the most pro-Bircoin ever seen, and they will continue to stack Satoshis in the same manner some millennials and Zoomers are doing right now.

Another well written piece of poetry, but I can't say that I agree with you. From my own observations, zoomers are a lost generation and the one coming after them is even worse. I have not observed any significant critical thinking skills or Bitcoin adoption in those. I wonder what real data on this topic shows? I am not so confident at all in the way that this data is gathered and measured. Here is one example: 50% adoption in this generation and 30% in the general population? I highly doubt that. The data tends to be biased in surveys like this because what it really shows is that people in this generation who are online a lot tend to answer such surveys and that being online in these areas tends to be correlated with crypto ownership. If data were collected on a massive scale, and offline, it would show a very different picture. Furthermore, there is no meaningful distinction in ownership. Is it someone buying $50 because they saw and AD or is it someone buying into Bitcoin because they did their research and now understand it? Another way to see it: Lastly here you can see that more Gen Z's dumped crypto than millennials, which reflects that weakness of this generation. If you had to hire some of them for some serious jobs, you would know just how terrible they are.   Seriously fuck off with this bullshit that is repeated on the internet when it is not true. The average Gen Z tech competence is equal to a monkey playing around in a hardware store. Knowing how to use apps and being addicted to shitty games and stuff like that does not equal to technical knowledge or competence.
