 As a Zoomer, I feel you’re right. Nihilism is a big part of our generation.

 It’s your defining characteristic. Wheras millennials defining characteristic is pessimism and boomers have naive optimism.

 Yup, pessimistic millennial here! I try really hard to balance it with being idealistic but the pessimist part keeps me in check.

 Sorry sorry. My fault. I’m actually gen-x. I got confused. I thought zoomers was gen-x. As an Xer I feel also very nihilistic. I’ve lost faith in all systems and governments. I’m not an anarchist but I just think government as a concept is incentivised to become corrupt and I just want an off-ramp which is where Bitcoin comes in. I’m just going to sit down earn fiat and put it into bitcoin and watch everything come crumbling down around me. If someone steps up and sort things out I’ll appreciate it but I’m not getting involved.
