Consider this angle: holding BTC at current levels might be positioning yourself as the seller to the next generation willing to pay significantly higher prices—similar to how today's boomers view their gold holdings. The parallel works because both assets serve as long-term value storage across generations. If adoption continues and institutional allocation grows, future buyers entering the market could face vastly different price dynamics than we see today. The question becomes whether you're comfortable being the counterparty in that wealth transfer, banking on sustained demand from the next wave of participants.

In plain terms, buying and holding BTC now is basically betting that the next generation will be even crazier about buying in... This logic is a bit like the gold my grandfather held. The question is, do you dare to bet that this wave of institutional buying will really come?

Honestly, this logic is a bit extreme... Right now, holding BTC is just waiting for the next generation to take over.

Hmm, this logic is indeed interesting, but the key is whether someone will take over the position. --- HODL until old age, relying on the latecomers to foot the bill? Dream on. --- It sounds nice, but it's just betting that the people behind will be even crazier. --- Gold can be passed down through generations, but what about BTC? What if one day it's banned? --- Whether this theory will hold up in 2025 depends on the political climate. --- So basically, it's a game of hot potato; I just want to know who will be the last drummer. --- Institutions have been entering the market for so many years, yet the price is still hovering... Can it really skyrocket? --- A bit naive, huh? The boom era relied on real gold and silver; this one relies on consensus. --- Waiting for someone to take over your BTC bag in ten years.

ngl reading between the lines here... this is basically saying hodl and become the boomer with the digital gold. but what if adoption plateaus? then you're just bagholding for an audience that never shows up 🤔

Hmm... that logic sounds pretty good, but honestly, it's still betting on the next generation of fools.

To be honest, this analogy is a bit far-fetched... The gold of the boomer generation hasn't changed much in hundreds of years, but what about Bitcoin? Technological iterations, competitors, regulatory risks—who can predict these variables? Betting on the next generation to take over is too risky.
