| In an opinion editorial, authors David Waugh and Dave Birnbaum argue that the members of Generation Z, or "Zoomers," have had their futures compromised by previous generations' monetary mismanagement.
They highlight the social upheaval, wealth destruction and cultural decline that Zoomers have experienced, including disruptions caused by lockdowns and school closures. The authors suggest that Bitcoin offers hope for the future, as Zoomers can use it to build a new financial system that is resilient, equitable, and just. They urge Zoomers to channel their sense of betrayal and loss into creating a world order that they can pass down to future generations.
The authors acknowledge the significant fiscal and monetary crises facing Gen Z, such as the mounting national debt and unfunded liabilities. They believe that voting and activism alone cannot solve these problems and that Zoomers are well-suited to embrace Bitcoin due to their familiarity with technology. However, they emphasize that the journey to a balanced and free society will be challenging, requiring independent study, organizing communities, and permeating existing institutions. |
