I particularly agree with your observation that despite their tech-savviness, Gen Z often defaults to existing platforms rather than exploring decentralized options. The "everyone's there" mentality is powerful, and it's easy to understand why they gravitate towards established giants like TikTok, Meta and other socmed platform.
However, as you rightly point out, this reliance on centralized platforms has significant drawbacks. It reinforces existing power structures, limits individual agency, and ultimately hinders innovation.
Your point about the impending wealth transfer is also quite insightful. The potential for this generation to reshape the economic landscape is immense, but only if they utilize their newfound wealth wisely. Investing in decentralized systems and supporting community-driven initiatives could empower them to truly own their future.
Of course, changing entrenched behaviors is incredibly difficult. The allure of convenience and the fear of the unknown are powerful deterrents to embracing new technologies. But perhaps, by highlighting the long-term benefits of decentralized models and fostering a greater sense of ownership and responsibility, as millennial, we can encourage Gen Z to embrace a more proactive approach to technology.
I think this conversation is crucial for understanding the future of our society. Thanks for sharing your insightful perspective!
The status quo beneficiaries love the compliance of the masses.
Like normal, the 1% will soon control the 50% of the transfer, and the next 10% will control the next 30%.
I wish the millennials would get more involved - most of the people on Hive at least who are making the effort, are Gen-Xers :D
You're right, Gen-X makes a lot of effort making hive possible. Thank you for the unconditional effort you guys exert.
