The debt always comes due.

Making money easier makes getting scammed inevitable; it’s just balance correcting itself.

But that balance is brutal.

It takes low morals to exploit, yet those left holding the bag aren’t always the ones who made the mess.

Generations accumulate debts, and whether fair or not, someone always pays the piper.

Would scammers be so prevalent if the world were closer to a utopia?

And would the world be closer to a utopia if older generations hadn’t borrowed from the future?

I feel for those who get taken advantage of, but coming from a generation constantly called lazy by boomers, I have to ask: why do you put in so little into preventing yourself from getting scammed?

Seems like one of the main threats when it comes to unfortunate circumstances that don’t involve health.

Not every boomer is to blame, and they weren’t handed prosperity out of pure greed; their standard of living was built on the shoulders of those before them.

Younger generations can’t relate.

The time, thought, and resources invested in their future have been inadequate at best.

Bitcoin is both gold and fire: an unstoppable force that can build or destroy, depending on how it’s wielded.

There’s no such thing as “unburned.” Burned is burned.

When wealth starts melting like ice cubes, people will go to extreme lengths to survive.

Who’s to blame for the scams?

Everyone involved; plus the economic landscape that made desperation so profitable.

I don’t believe the elderly will be bled dry, but I’m also not shocked when money of no merit becomes someone else’s meritless money.

Maybe younger generations aren’t underpaid, maybe the past just overpaid itself.

If that’s the case, then the expectation to keep receiving far more than was given starts to look absurd.

So stop reminding us we’ll never retire.

If you really believe we’re lazy, come out of retirement yourself.

See what you’re worth in the world you’ve left behind.
