Millenial's Setting Course for the Future
Forbes, that fusty old business rag, is starting to see the writing on the wall. This article by Andrew Rossow throws a bone to the younger cohorts, talking about the different employment environment in which they live and how that will affect retirement planning.
Millennials Investment Portfolios On The Blockchain
While the article offers up sound investment advice, he neglects to give millenials credit for pushing the blockchain revolution from the fringes into the mainstream. Rossow's points about security, decentralization, risk management and immutable history are all valid. But that's sort of the point. These factors are why millennials are investing in crypto at a higher rate than older demographics. Can you say DUH!
It's a decent article. But it seems that mainstream media is still chasing the train.
For sure!!
You have a minor misspelling in the following sentence:
It should be millennials instead of millenials.Thank you!
A grammar Nazi bot! AWESOME! SOMEONE PLEASE IMPLEMENT THIS ON FACEBOOK!

Very interesting. That gets me thinking. I work with millennials every day and they drive me up the wall. Their work ethic is almost completely absent and they seem incapable of, or indifferent to self-improvement.
But I realise that this isn't their fault. They are a product of the society in which they group up. A society that hated competition or discrimination, that took a pacifist approach to everything, that strongly encouraged dependency, that promoted the culture of entitlement, that nurtured children in an unnatural way. It's sad because it left millennials at a disadvantage: ill equipped to deal with the real world. But we all play the cards we are dealt, and fortunately the tech-savvy card is a potent weapon in the Millennial arsenal.
As they gradually mature into older adults, and finally learn the survival skills denied them in early life; I believe that the Millennial generation will have a very positive effect in forcing draconian business practises to be updated or replaced.
After decades of lip service, perhaps we can finally look forward to paperless offices!
P.S. millennials: I will never forgive you guys for popularising the likes of Bieber and Nikki Minaj. That one remains on your heads!
Not sure which millennials you work with but I've found that they don't really fit the "lazy, entitled whiner" stereotype all that much. Sure. Some of them do. But slackers dog every generation, letting otheres pick up the load.
It's probably compounded by a culture of entitlement specific to my country (for historic political reasons). The work ethic of young adults here is off-the-charts low. Quite sad.
