Do you know what happens when you have a low salary, crazy housing prices, and unemployment nearby?
You are going… not to HR, but to the exchange.
⠀
💥 According to the latest report from Hana Institute of Finance — more than 27% of Koreans aged 20 to 50 have already jumped into crypto.
And the most interesting part: 70% of them want to invest even more.
And this, damn it, is not about fashion.
This is about a desperate attempt to take control of your life 💼💸
📊 Age and numbers — like notes:
40-year-olds: leading — 31% are already investing
30-year-olds: almost caught up — 28%
50+: not lagging behind — 25%
No 'too old for crypto' — grandma just needs a cold wallet 😎
💰 And what do they invest in?
60% of the portfolio is in Bitcoin
But over time, people become wiser and start to diversify risks — altcoins and stablecoins come into play.
NFT and STO? For now, like sushi at the station — looks nice, but no one is in a hurry to eat it.
📈 How is the playing style changing?
Here I enjoyed it:
📈 Regular purchases increased from 10% to 34%
📆 Medium-term strategies: from 26% to 47%
⛔ Short-term has deflated. And thank God.
So... from YOLOers, real investors are emerging.
The trader's soul cries with joy.
🚀 What motivates them to invest more?
🏦 42% — if banks enter crypto
⚖️ 35% — if there is normal regulation (and not another ban from a guy with a microphone)
😬 But there are plenty of downsides too:
📉 56% are afraid of volatility (lol, who isn't afraid?)
🏦 70% want to be able to link several banks to the exchange (instead of dancing with one card, one account, one eye)
💬 And now the main point:
As one of the top people at Anzaetek admitted — young people are entering crypto not because of blockchain ideology.
And that's because:
> "Salaries are nothing, apartments are a dream, jobs are scant. And you think: 'What if I succeed in crypto?'"
And you know what? It's honest.
Running into DeFi not because you are a fan of consensus — but because you are tired of living off the system's scraps.
🧠 The moral of this Korean story:
Crypto is no longer a hobby.
This is a financial rebellion. Without banners.
Are you still wondering, 'is it worth starting'?
If you read to the end — you are either already in the know or just starting.
And in both cases — glad we are on the same wavelength 💥
