How most Millennials feel about CryptoCurrency

in #crypto6 years ago (edited)

One year ago I had no idea what cryptocurrency is and how you can use it. But let's stop living in the past, and start living more in the present, having an idea of what we want to do in the future.
I think I am not alone who is starting to think and feel this way. We are called Millennials and in this article, I will try to explain how I feel about crypto and what brought me here.

Also, I did ask around and have a broad idea of what others think about crypto, too. Here it goes.
Millenials want to have an impact. We want to travel and get out work recognized. We want to learn (a lot) and decide what we want to achieve based on society reflects as to be valuable. Also, we want to work remotely.
Soon enough I discover society is (generally speaking) kinda fake and is trying to sell us stuff. That we usually don't need.

That got me pissed. But it also made me realise I can only be sure of one thing in life. And that is me. Objects break, people get distant, and wrinkles appear no matter what.
So it all sums up in the inspiration I bring to others, and the value created by my ideas.
Somewhere around those self-discovery times, when I also got really engaged in my travel blog, I also got into crypto.
(Check you my blog about cheap travel and how it helped me develop as a person here: http://juliasomething.com/)

Turns out, a social and financial revolution was on the way, and many startups were using this blockchain technology to develop new ways of seeing the financial world, aiming to change the way we are involved in the world.
The feature of transparency is one central point of interest for millennials. We translate it as: Nobody can cheat me.
BUT.

As everything that becomes really popular, many try to profit as fast and as much as possible from this still emerging blockchain-crypto-companies market. Hence the bad reputation of altcoins (those crypto coins, which are not Bitcoin).

I wasn't too interested in politics when I was younger. But I have not learnt that the crypto market is very much like that. AS long as you have an interest (yes, money) you will pour your soul to influence the market. AS those internet giants have. Google, Facebook, Twitter... all have tried to ban the crypto rise. No crypto ads allowed anymore.
So this is how I see the situation at the moment.

How do I, as a millennial, feel about cryptocurrency?

Viable. Reliable. Trustworthy.

Also losing my patience while the rest of the world tries to adopt it, to convince the elders that crypto is not the work of Satan. Or whether Bitcoin is real or not.
Who ever said a currency is real? Not too long back, my grandparents were exchanging goat milk for hens. Just saying.

I feel pissed how every chance takes forever to be unanimously adopted, and how we are in 2018 and still have so many things (yes, objects and other items we possess) in decentralized ledgers.
Yes, patience is a virtue Millennials don't have. Time to start meditating more, getting again close to nature and benefit from living with what it has, regardless of what we don't have.

That is my goal: Focus more on what I want, what I have and what I can do. Because these are the things I can have an impact on.

The rest is for each and every one of us to decide. Also, Millennials tend to be a bit too attached to their perception of the world, and can easily get into conflict. This is starting to sound like a horoscope.
Millennials want Cryptocurrency. And not for a fast profit. But for using it. For being creative.
I also believe this crypto thing could also bring more unity into this world. That means, to bring people together. Not wondering if your boss/friend/ neighbour is cheating you with money.
Enough said.

Go Crypto and Go vegan!

Cool take. Crypto and veganism as a way to move civilization forward.

Waiting to shop at a local grocery store and pay with my cryptos. Which are stored on my bracelet. While wearing clothes made of recycled materials.
