Gen Z is watching a future slip away: AI reshaping job markets, housing costs consuming paychecks, living standards their parents took for granted becoming pure fantasy.
So what happens when a whole generation realizes the system isn't built for them? They stop accepting the rules.
It's not just talk anymore. From street protests to digital rebellion, from questioning corporate structures to exploring alternative financial systems—Gen Z is rewriting the playbook. Whether through traditional activism or diving into decentralized tech that promises economic autonomy, this generation is refusing to inherit a broken game.
The real question: what replaces what burns down?

Honestly, DeFi is the way out. Traditional finance should have failed long ago.

ngl, if you actually analyze the data on gen z adoption of defi... the throughput metrics are demonstrably inefficient compared to what they *think* they're gaining. most are just burning gas on suboptimal chains when base layer solutions exist. technically speaking, rebellion without proper transaction optimization is just expensive theater.

NGL, Gen Z really has no choice. The system wasn't designed for us in the first place. Give up or resist—it's a choice between the two.

Really, the path of Web3 is the right one.

Honestly, Gen Z really has no choice; the system itself is broken. Degen still has some hope, right?

Nah, that's why I went all in on DeFi. Instead of waiting for the system to collapse, I'd rather create a parallel financial system myself.
