Welcome to the new world of finance. As new people are entering the world of investing many are picking crypto over the stock market. I know I am one of them. Now don't get me wrong. I have not given up on the idea of investing in stock or property if the money is there but crypto has been my main area of investing. I like the market and the freedom that is gives plus look at those returns. It may not be as safe as other markets are but so far it has proven to be a positive ride.
There are several reasons I think crypto is attractive to the youth. For one younger people tend to be more open to risk and they can face the ups and downs that the market brings them. Maybe they don't have a family or they have lots of disposable income that they use. It becomes harder when you are depend on the investment to live or raise your kids. Another factor is the youth are more comfortable with tech and the idea of something digital being worth a lot of money is not foreign to us. And gamers especially get it, we have been playing games with digital items that have value for years.
And then there is the return. You cannot gets these returns in the stock market. We are talking 100x in some cases. Sure there is a lot of risk and people have lost a lot of money but when it hits you can really see profit in a short amount of time.
