i asked a minister is stock market/bitcoin gambling bad . he said something about the gamblers HAVE to exist in order for it to be successful. so even though it's better for gamblers to reform, they are like the frontier settlers. they had to start gambling on an "internet bean" in order for the more serious people to start wondering what the hell they were doing and start making fun of them and then finally researching it + writing books. IMO boomers are not gambling enough and saving government bonds instead. they are trusting the government instead of financing the building of the future!

That's an interesting take. It's funny because i spoke to a real estate agent about a week ago and we got on the topic of bitcoin, at some point, during our discussion and (keep in mind that this guy said he's been in real estate for 38 years) he even said that bitcoin is a gamble, atm, but seems like it will outpace most markets, at some point in the near future. Not sure if he owns any himself, but he seemed optimistic nonetheless. He also briefly brought up why it's risky to buy gold, atm, which i found... Interesting, to say the least. Especially, when it's coming from a boomer.
