Millennials and Gen Z are known as the most Bitcoin-friendly generations, which paints a bright future for the world’s leading cryptocurrency.

Still, trading legend Peter Brandt believes that their penchant for Bitcoin won’t save these generations from the shortcomings of the broken financial system.

In his new tweet, the veteran trader says that younger people will still have to pay off government bailouts.

Out of control

In early May, the U.S. national debt surpassed the scary $25 trln milestone without showing any signs of slowing down.

This ballooning figure underscores the government’s effort to keep the economy afloat with enormous economic stimulus.  

Brandt believes that this should be a wake-up call for younger generations while wondering why there is no outrage.
