Millennials, the most mentioned generation lately, are focusing their attention on cryptocurrencies. These young adults, whose decisions and tastes have been applauded by many and rejected by others, have begun to see in Bitcoin a possibility for the future, including it in the vast majority of their decisions.
Several companies have conducted surveys of Millennials that reflect their point of view on digital currencies. One of the most curious results has to do with this generation being more attracted to people who are related in some way to cryptocurrencies.
"More than 75% of Millennials are more likely to go out with someone who knows cryptocurrencies," says one of these studies, according to Bitcoin News . However, the survey also revealed that 12% "would prefer to go out with a non-violent offender" rather than "someone who has all their savings in cryptocurrencies."
That most Millennials prefer a connoisseur about digital currencies to get out is because so much of this group owns digital assets. According to surveys, 40% of this generation has cryptocurrencies, of which 48% are men and 26% are women.
But it's not just for dating that cryptocurrencies have an influence on Millennials. A survey of US residents between the ages of 24 and 38 indicated that, of those who planned to buy their first home in the next 12 months, 10% had obtained the initial payment funds by selling digital coins.
In the United Kingdom a similar phenomenon occurs, as confirmed by the magazine Cryto and Property: "For Millennials, the high performance of Bitcoin, followed by an almost similar correction, has more intrigue than the prospect of constant growth in prices of housing ". According to a survey conducted by this means, one in five young people between 21 and 35 years, consider that cryptocurrencies are a better investment than real estate.
Canada is not far behind, where surveys were conducted both to investors and ordinary people from 18 to 35 years, of which between 39% and 40% consider activities with Bitcoin and similar currencies a high yield investment.
This means that new generations are betting more and more on cryptocurrencies, considering them more beneficial than traditional investments, such as real estate. The paradigm shift may seem quite rude to the more conservative, but, for Millennials, this is simply the future they point to.
