Don't get me wrong, I generally agree with the message, I just inferred the wrong meaning from the start of it.
If it makes you feel better, as a Millennial, the boomers are in the process of pissing it all away. Between being conned, gambling, and chasing immortality, there won't be much left over.
I definitely feel for Gen X though. Got sold the boomer dream after the boomers outsourced and mortgaged anything not welded down. You were needed to fund the social security.

Remember the IRS $600/annual transaction rule?
Remember the new SIC codes for gun sales? They almost had the entire system in place.
CBDCs were being worked on for a long time. BTC just beat them to the punch bowl so fiat could be moved into it before the doors slammed on everyone and they were forced into digital dollars.
In digital terms specifically, BTC is the closest thing you have to gold and a barter system. They're going to try forcing CBDCs down everyone's throats, but you'll now have an option outside of that system.
