A certain compliant platform recently conducted a survey, and data from 4,350 Americans shows that 45% of young investors already hold cryptocurrencies.

What does this number mean? It's simple. Over the next ten to twenty years, this group of young people will inherit a large amount of wealth accumulated by their predecessors. Faced with the rigidity and low returns of traditional finance, they don't want to be manipulated and are voting with their feet. Flexible, free, high-risk, high-reward cryptocurrencies have become their choice.

History has always been written this way—the tracks chosen by young people are often the next decade's trend. Because the world ultimately belongs to the younger generation, and their choices set the market direction.

45% this number sounds alarming, but I believe it... The traditional banking system really isn't exciting --- The issue of generational replacement, the old financial system should step aside --- Traditional finance is really stiff to death, can't blame young people for turning away --- It's reasonable to talk about inheriting wealth, but don't treat risks lightly --- The trend is easy to talk about... Is the next decade really crypto? --- Young people just don't want to be manipulated, I agree with that --- High risk, high reward, sounds great but the feeling of cutting losses is even better... --- 45% isn't really that much, when compared, it's still far from enough --- Market direction decided by young people? That logic is a bit absolute --- Being flexible and free sounds good, but honestly, it just means more gambling

45% sounds good, but I'm more concerned about when these young people will actually start making money. Don't just keep shouting slogans. Wait, inheriting wealth to re-enter the market? That logic is a bit backwards. Do they have to cut the leeks first to understand the market? I think, young people choosing what to invest in doesn't necessarily mean it's the trend. Sometimes, it's just about the difference between being the leek and the investor.

45%? Ha, I believe half of that number, after all, the survey sample is only 4,350 people, so its representativeness is questionable. I actually don't quite agree with the logic about inheriting wealth; young people choosing crypto are mostly because they find traditional finance too boring and just want to take a gamble. But to be fair, this wave is indeed a trend, as long as you don't go all in.
