The boomers will have a troubled retirement.
I won't let my folks suffer obviously, but my old man is as bad as any of them from a political-economic perspective. The fact that they don't know just does not excuse what they have done. Results matter in the adult world.
Same here. Under the skin they know what they did. They just pretend that it was "normal". And that by believing one can make sh*t real. Now that sh*t is getting real for real they're fucked, and we too. And we have no one to blame but them. If for nothing else just to have put us in their fucked world of latest stage ponzis.

WTF are you talking about?? Are you one of those ignorant millennials that want to blame your parents for all the ills of the world??? Your parents didn't create this mess. Your Government and the wealthy Elitist Oligarchs did. Grow up, grow a pair, and fight for what you believe in. Don't blame your parents.

Try to study a bit about "Public" debt and pensions (how they are funded), and then come back.

The oligarchs had the opportunity to negotiate with the hippies. They had the opportunity to negotiate with the punks. The next time the children come they will be nihilistic cannibals. There will be no negotiation. They will be coming to destroy civilization, not to reform it.
The boomers whiled it away on big screen TVs and motorboats while this all got set up, they will get what is coming to them.

In fact, come back when you find out who looted all the public pension funds and why $4.5T in unfunded liabilities is already gone and can't be paid.

That's the matter: they designed a caste system where they get back much more that they paid in, because their debt is guaranteed by "future generations" (who will get nothing beyond their debts). Now this can be "normal" in the sense that any generation enslaved the following in one way or another since the beginning of time, and it can be also democratic (because the boomers tend to be a majority -especially as voters), but it's a system of shit, which for me can go to hell in a basket tomorrow morning. Even: the sooner it blows up the better.

Guys, look at the mess the global economy is in then look at robotics and artificial intelligence set to destroy 40% of current jobs in the next 10 years. Ffs buy guns and ammo, this shit will get real pretty soon and nobody is going to care how many bits of corn you have on your 'puter. I've had some to drink tonight it's true, but the future is fucking terrifying.

Even: the sooner it blows up the better. Systems like pensions and social security in theory sound great on paper. And they are supposed to work OK in practice.... as long as 1) the currency isn't massively devalued over time, and 2) the oligarchs are not allowed to 'borrow' (aka loot) from those systems with the promise of future IOUs to pay them back (which they never will do). You can blame the government for that shit. These systems should just be abolished because they've been hijacked by the elites.

More like $107 trillion. http://usdebtclock.org/And that's just the USA. Sad thing is we're falling into the same trap with segwit and off-chain scaling. Right back into the bankers hands. There'll be barely a hickup during the transition to a "Bitcoin"-based economy. What a joke. What do you mean, same trap? Can you explain? Fractional reserve is impossible with LN, and anyone can set up a channel by locking the collateral. Seems like a fresh start.

Lol, I am adult. Very adult. Adults don't have a much of a choice,at least in the U.S. they get to vote on some two-party local reps and a presidential candidate from a field of two. The two presidential candidates of which have already been groomed and pre-selected by the Wealthy Elite Oligarchy so it's not much of a choice. There's a third option (Libertarian candidate) that some of us vote for, but never seems to get more than 3% of the vote. Perhaps you mean all-out revolution? Well, I'm pretty sure that in the U.S. that is coming soon. Likely a French Revolution style revolt. Many here would be all-in on that. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

I read an article recently that said that the boomers are very worried about retirement. That they should have somewhere in the neighborhood of $600K+ saved, but that even the most savvy of them only have like $200K saved. Most have far less saved or nothing. I keep thinking, what the hell were they doing with their money all those years? Why weren't they investing in stocks back when times were really good and the markets were flying high on real fundamentals? Good god, to go back to the 80's and heavily invest in Microsoft or Apple.... My mother is retired. When she talks to her accountant the advice he gives her is to not live too long.

Many here would be all-in on that. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) How about this time around, instead of destroying the status quo with all kinds of violence and figuring that the rest will take care of itself (like what George Bush tried to do in Iraq), we start out building and testing the better system. That's actually the beauty of the crypto revolution: we are building decentralized money and decentralized forms of governance first. Testing them out, one step at a time. When they are really working, there will be no need for a violent revolution. Existing systems will crumble under their own weight (e.g.: Venezuela) and better, decentralized systems will be already in place to take up the slack. No need for war. Please.

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that war was the only way to have a revolution. In this day and age you are correct, since financial warfare is now a far greater power than physical warfare, cryptocurrencies have shown us a new path forward. We don't need to tear down the old corrupt system physically (through violence), we simply need to find financial ways and means to opt out of it completely. Then it will crumble. But, sadly if worse came to worse, yes we would need to physically revolt to re-establish our god-given and constitutional freedoms. <sigh> Hopefully it would never come to that.
