Bitcoin has been around for more than ten years, but compared to other financial assets, it is indeed a youngster.

Among the current blockchain practitioners, those born after 1995 and 2000 also account for a large proportion. Among these young generations, there are many who have achieved the myth of getting rich quickly that we have always dreamed of through the cryptocurrency circle.

On the contrary, many people born in the 1970s and 1980s have become the losers when investing in Bitcoin. This is indeed a question worth pondering. Does Bitcoin belong to the younger generation? Are the older generation the ones who take over?

Let’s first take a look at how these young people became rich through Bitcoin.

An 18-year-old boy's road to becoming a millionaire

Eric Finman is a true story worth reading. At the age of 18, most ordinary children are still ignorant and muddle through college. But this young man achieved his goal of one million at the age of 18 through Bitcoin.

How did he do that?

Eric Finman was born in a middle-class family. His good family environment gave him good learning opportunities. In 2013, when he was still a student who loved to study the latest technology, his brother introduced him to Bitcoin and gave him 50 Bitcoins.

Eric Finman, who has always loved research, got into Bitcoin. He found this new thing interesting and valuable. After nearly a month of research, Eric Finman decided to invest heavily in Bitcoin. His grandmother donated $50,000 to him, and he bought all of it in hundreds of Bitcoins.

Eric Finman bought Bitcoin at around $103, and the price of Bitcoin rose wildly. At the age of 18, Eric Finman wanted to have millions of assets.

Eric Finman has now established his own data research company. His wealth in Bitcoin helps him to continue pursuing his dreams and do more things he likes and can change the world. I really like this geek spirit. While shaping myself, I can also make the world a better place.

Working in the blockchain industry after graduating from university?

The myth of getting rich quickly like Eric Finman has inspired many young people. The lecture by Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin at Shenzhen University and his photos with bigwigs such as Neil Shen and Meituan's Wang Xing have ignited their love for cryptocurrency.

There is a statistic: 17% of universities have knowledge of and investment in cryptocurrencies, and 27% of college students hope to join the blockchain industry after graduation.

These surveys were conducted in Chinese universities, and the subjects of the surveys were basically undergraduate and graduate students. These data show that young people have their own unique love for cryptocurrency. Lao Dian also magically discovered that the post-95s and post-00s around him basically have more or less knowledge of Bitcoin. Whether it is young people studying in China or studying abroad, everyone seems to have a lot to talk about when talking about this topic. The younger generation has a higher acceptance and tolerance for Bitcoin than the older generation. Not to mention other things, the older generation basically has a negative attitude when it comes to Bitcoin, not to mention in-depth understanding of blockchain technology, distributed accounting, decentralization, etc.

In Lao Dian's opinion, rather than saying that this era gives young people more opportunities to get rich through Bitcoin, it is better to say that Bitcoin gives an opportunity to those who love research and in-depth learning.

This is the best of times and the worst of times

Opportunities belong to anyone who is prepared. On the eve of the arrival of the era, are you ready?
