Generally (USA specifically), I feel as if the overall disgust with the government in the recent year had a major influence. The unwillingness of gen z to want to vote at all for the upcoming election, due to the powers that be severing any trust the youth had left with the institutions (financial and political), they are now in the state vs us mindset. This is when bitcoin comes in.
The fact that bitcoin is the easiest and most accessible investment option for the youth, those who majority aren’t interested in stocks, and probably don’t even know how the stock exchange works, Bitcoin is far easier to understand and easily invest in.
CashApp (npub1cas…dg5l) is immensely popular with the youth, they have perfected the UX, and have made bitcoin digestible and normalized for the average user. With a simple and aesthetically pleasing design that is able to attract the younger user. If you go on TikTok, there are an abundance of videos showcasing the ease of stacking sats on cashapp, an app people already have on their phones. (Venmo is more popular with older gens, as it is far more formal)
Personally, my own friends who already used cashapp, have just bought bitcoin on the app just to try it out, despite it being in small amounts they still are getting that taste of financial freedom. I haven’t really forced bitcoin on my friends, that’s just corny when finance isn’t what we talk about at all, so having more and more friends come to me knowing i stack sats everyday which they think is a “hobby”, they are able to see me invest in my future and own a “stock” (that’s how i explain it to my friends) but its stock without the dirty money and antics the gov can pull. It’s freedom from the government that has wronged us.
Just as I am an early adopter of nostr among my peers, (they will come, they just aren’t ready yet), they are just now finally old enough to understand Bitcoin since they are finally in charge of their finances.
Gen z wants to make a change, their ideals and revolutionary ideology, despite what many assume, are absolutely exactly the same as those of Bitcoin. They just haven’t made the connection to the money yet. They are now, slowly but surely.
