Consumer Crypto

How so? As someone who teaches college students about crypto, don’t think that true.

Suprisingly, college students are not as tech forward as many think especially when diving into something that's a bit trickier. I think it's because when you've grown up with the internet and tech just being easy, something like crypto is more challenging. (this is coming from my experience in getting them set up with wallets and getting them using them -- so hard!).

Interestingly -- it's actually easier for millennials/genx because we grew up figuring out how tech works and teaching ourselves this stuff because it was all new. Critical thinking skills are lacking for genZ simply because all the answers have always been provided on their phones. Something that concerns me quite a bit.

That said -- still worth the effort to onboard and it's the reason I'm still teaching just my blockchain class even though I'm no longer full time prof.

It’s awesome that you do! I think that most crypto companies choose to market to an older audience when in reality the younger crowd is way more likely to be open to trying out new apps and tech
