Millennial generation are screwed!

[Oasisman]

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?

Can crypto make millennial more screwed or otherwise? Let’s discuss!

   
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.

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.

[dimox]

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.

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.

[riso2015]

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.

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.

Can crypto make millennial more screwed or otherwise? Let’s discuss!

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:

Today’s youth is rotten to the core, it is evil, godless, and lazy. It will never be what youth used to be, and it will never be able to preserve our culture

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

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.

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.

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]

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.

[pecson134]

First they spend more time on video games than any other generation, an average gen millennial spend 8 hours on games everyday! Ridiculous!

-snip-

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.

You cannot generalize every millennial. Most may do such things like focusing on video games but not all millennials are like that, It would still depend on every individual may be it a millennial or not, if they're going to let crypto affect their lives in a darker side or a brighter side. If I'm not wrong, millennials are from early 1980s up to 2000s. So we can conclude that  a lot of them were still studying who still have no bigger savings. Others are still too young to know the essence of bitcoin and cryptocurrency. But we cannot conclude already that millennials are screwed since they (we) are the one who's going to spread awareness on bitcoin in the future.

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.

So much hate towards millennials, i wonder where it's coming from?

Don't know why but i feel that all this hatred towards is going overboard. There are also lots of things that can be said about baby boomers or non-millennials but if you try and see beyond those mentioned by the OP, you'll also see some good things that millennials have done. Also, spending and buying more bitcoin is good right? At least for us bitcoin investors.

[/quote]
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.

The next generation will be even worse. Millennials started the trend but Generation Z is taking it to the next level:

• 68% of Gen Z males agree that gaming is an important part of their identity.
• 91% of Gen Z males regularly play video games, only incrementally higher than Millennials (84%).
• Similarly, among both generations, the stereotype of gamers has eroded. ‘Gamer’ no longer conjures the negative affiliation of a lazy guy in his parents’ basement.

[/b]

• 84% of Gen Z and Millennial males say it is cool to play video games, and 71% agree that they would call themselves a gamer.

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.😄

They deep on student loan

They no saving

They have no job security

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.
[/quote][/quote]
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.

Now they spend more money on bitcoin than all generation!

That might be the only thing that saves them.
[/quote][/quote]
You’re not sure it is a valid savior, of course I would tend to the opposite outcome, they could be screwed big time!

I've recently looked at a study that Millenials are a weak generation and that the next generation is going to be even worse. That's because the pain tolerance of millenials is WAY lower than the generation X. I agree that the majority of milenials are lazy and it looks like they have no ambitions. There are a lot of exceptions though, but wasting hours and hours of the day to watch Netflix or play video games is not a good sign at all. TIME is the only most valuable resource we have in this life and we should use it wisely. But, Bitcoin is definitely not a waste of time and I believe them investing in cryptocurrencies and seeing its potential is amazing. The young generations should look in the future and the next pass in our world's evolution is probably blockchain and cryptos.

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.

This is happening because of the present situation has a lot to offer to the present generation, they have the internet, they have online games and they are lucky they have Bitcoin in their generation, the one thing that can get them out from being screwed is education and the proper use of time, they are into too many at a very short time, because our present generation offers a lot of options, they will be screwed up or they will have massive success, they need guidance on how to handle all these things.

[Google+]

a generation like this just appeared at a time when things were all going easy, they didn't know how the struggle carried out by the country's warriors and the developers who worked hard to be able to provide the best solution of a transaction and other conveniences. Millennials should be able to learn more and be more active because all the necessary needs already exist.

Video games and crypto are not in the same frequency, playing video games for hours is wasting time (if it's not your job) but spend a lot of time in crypto will make millennials have an insightful perception about economics worldwide and how politics affect it, moreover they can earn cryptocurrency, it would be more beneficial.

[bitzizzix]

Millennials are now enjoying their teenage years by spending time playing outside or enjoying the development of video game technology, and they don't think in the direction of cryptocurrency even though they know but they don't want to be involved in it.
although there are some of them who are involved with cryptocurrency because of the needs or circumstances that make it involved, but with the development of cryptocurrency in the future they will realize that cryptocurrency is very important for their lives.

Nope, I don't think crypto would screw millenials even more, when they experienced earning through it, they would driven more into it making them more focused into it. I knew millenials that already knew crypto and is in the right path, paving their way into earning and doesn't care about something nonsense and is not profitable.
           Aside from that, being enlightened about crypto will pull you into diving more into it and learning more. Their curiousity will lead them and their aim to earn from it will dominate.

[DoublerHunter]

Definitely right, Millennials really spends more time in playing online games. They don't even help their parents in housework. Also, they spend to much time without even thinking that it is very hard to earn money. This generation is very far from the previous generations. This time most of the teenagers don't know how to save money or even how to value the money and they spend too much on shopping and outing as well. Nevertheless, this is the fact that we need to guide our children on the right path.

[Genemind]

Let's not generalize Millenials these days. Yes, it's true that this generation is into video games but there are also responsible teenagers nowadays. Some might get screwed in crypto but a smart millennial would know how to have control in crypto earning. That's the reason why we have to educate the youth of this generation about the advantages and disadvantages of cryptocurrency including the possibilities that might happen in the future. Let's educate them to save while earning and not to rely everything in crypto.
