The biggest capital shift ever is loading.

The biggest capital shift ever is loading.
Boomers hold the money today, but the future owners are already decided — and they don’t think like their parents.
Right now, baby boomers control around $78T in global wealth. Millennials? Barely $14.2T. Looks unfair… until you zoom out. Over the next 10–20 years, tens of trillions will move hands. Slowly, then all at once.
Here’s the real question I keep asking myself on my terrace in the sun 🌞: where will that money go?
Millennials don’t dream about bank deposits. Bonds feel boring, opaque, and honestly pointless to them. They grew up with crises, bailouts, and zero rates. Trust was never really built.
So when this capital lands, a big chunk will look for alternatives. Real assets. Digital assets. Yes — crypto. $BTC, $ETH, and the whole ecosystem around them. Not because it’s trendy, but because it matches their worldview: global, liquid, independent.
This transfer isn’t a pump. It’s a slow tectonic move. And markets always underestimate those. Franchement, this might be the most underrated long-term driver for crypto we have.
