> And what do millennials say to that? “Dude, I don’t have any fucking money. All I have is my creative potential, my spirit, my productivity, and I can sell that directly for Bitcoin without an exchange, without an on-ramp, without an off-ramp. And when I need to buy something, I’ll use my digital currency directly without reentering your system to which I was never invited. Shut down the on-ramps, shut down the off-ramps and I will stay on board. I will stay digital. I won’t touch your gilded cage anymore because I don’t need you. I exit.

Yeah in some fantasy Bitcoin world millennials say that. Who might say shit like this is Venezuelans or the Iranians. Don't know if BTC is working for them at all these days.




Ha, what? Haven't read the article yet, but yeah most millennials definitely do not know how to obtain Bitcoin without going through an exchange and/or anyone in their network who'd be willing to pay them in Bitcoin for the work they typically do, and even if they did they also don't generally have the ability to use it as a method of payment for most of the things they typically purchase.
