Dear Generation Z,

The investing world is in the process of changing profoundly and you have an opportunity to take advantage of it at an early age.

You are growing up in the age of QE infinity. A time when all the world's problems are solved by printing more and more money.

You will likely experience negative interest rates, unfunded promises (more than just social security), real estate and asset bubbles, and stock markets that are propped up by governments and artificial confidence.

Which is something that can go away at any time, and once lost is very difficult to regain.

Due to the money printing, markets will be more distorted from actual economic activity that at any time previously.

So the best play is to invest in real estate, right?

Well, sort of, I mean if you can. I don't believe many of you will have that option, at least for a long time.

In order to do that you will need to save.

With the current target inflation rates, and interest rates, the money you are saving will likely be losing value against the very asset you are saving for.

Which means you will be going nowhere, and with housing prices continuing to climb, that option may be closed to many in your generation forever unless there is a large monetary windfall in your life or you are one of the few that lands a significantly above average paying job.

Interest rates are already starting to go negative all over the world. Trump is saying he wants the US to follow suit and abandon its strong dollar policies. It won't be long before your savings accounts go to zero or negative interest rates.

Pensions and Social Security are already under funded.

The amount you lose on your paycheck to try and make up for this is likely only gong to grow over time, which will further depress your take home pay.

Which means even less disposable income for saving etc.

Investing in stocks might seem like a worthwhile endeavor as long as the music doesn't stop. With QE on the horizon yet again, markets will likely diverge further from their economic fundamentals than at any time prior.

As long as you can ride the escalator up and not get caught in the elevator down, that might be an option for you.

However, father market will eventually be too powerful for even the largest governments to prop up, and at that time there will be a reckoning in the markets and the financial system and a massive reset.

Given all of this, it makes more sense than ever before to have at least some exposure to bitcoin.

Bitcoin has been alive in the wild for over 10 years now, with no network downtime.

It's value has increased exponentially since it was created.

It is not controlled by any governments, it can transcend borders with ease, and it possibly represents the future monetary system as it is a truly open free market form of money, which is getting more and more attractive for some of the reasons mentioned above.

Downside?

Like anything in life, it's future gains are not guaranteed, and even if all of the above are true and continue to come true there is no guarantee that bitcoin is the investment that ultimately benefits from it.

Upside?

The returns could mirror some of the returns that have already been seen in bitcoin over the past 10 years, which are staggering.

Returns that could give you real, lasting, possibly even generational wealth that you may not find anywhere else.

It makes a ton of sense to invest a small amount of savings or from your paychecks to give yourself this opportunity.

There don't appear to be many other opportunities like this in store for you in the near future.

Good luck and stay informed my friends!
