Today Forbes reported on the Millennial cryptocurrency generation. That is the generation born between 1981 and 1996. They are the ones who have adopted cryptocurrencies more than any other generation. They are at the age where they are not only willing to take risks and try something new, but they are also the ones who are designing the technology and writing the code that makes cryptocurrencies tick.
Millennials have grown up surrounded by technology their entire lives and so adapting to new technologies like cryptocurrency is a no-brainer. Technology is in their every pocket and in their blood. It is something they don’t even have to think about to use – it is second nature. If they are not internet connected then they would feel lost. Like not having running water.
Millennials are not afraid of risk – and for them, cryptocurrency isn’t even much of a risk at all. They “get it”. And so using cryptocurrencies is also a no-brainer. Millennials will drive and expand the future of cryptocurrencies in every way.
This is the generation which also resists the normal 9-5 treadmill that has enchained other generations since the invention of the weekly paycheck. To dodge what they consider a boring staid life, they will use blockchain based freelance websites to piece together the work they WANT to do, rather than the work they are forced to do.
Those who are not Millennials often eye cryptocurrencies with great suspicion and assume it will fail at some point soon – but they have no idea that they are surrounded by Millennials who are charging forward, cryptobanner held high and dragging the other generations into a digital financial future.
