At any given social gathering among even non tech people I know, there’s always a side conversation happening about crypto. It’s the same people who go spend too much at casinos, or are only talking about the next business venture. It’s a bit of an obsession.
Another extremely frequent conversation is over the impossibility of owning a home on not-tech salaries. I think they’re related. People don’t think they can really reach goals related to life stability unless they win some sort of lottery. To me this is really worrying, not because it’s wrong but because for many it’s right. A slightly higher than median salary used to mean one is in the middle class. A whole generation doesn’t believe they have any opportunities.
