According to a BanklessTimes study, 67% of respondents aged 27-42 view Bitcoin as a safe haven.
Previous polls have shown that millennials are among the most active in the cryptocurrency space and have friendlier views than previous generations.
Bitcoin Becomes an Important Asset for Millennials
According to BanklessTimes CEO Jonathan Merry, the leading cryptocurrency by market capitalization is an important investment tool for millennials as it provides financial freedom and allows them to diversify during uncertain economic times.
Those born between 1981 and 1996 are more open to digital innovation and more likely to interact with BTC than Gen X and Baby Boomers. The elders, who remain largely conservative and stick to fiat currencies, are skeptical of the cryptocurrency space.
The majority of millennials who participated in the survey believe that Bitcoin will go mainstream in the next few years. They also consider it a better monetary tool than the dollar, euro or any other national currency.
The decentralized nature and limited supply of the asset appear to be the most fundamental values that classify it as a safe haven for this demographic.
Being out of the control of a central bank means that Bitcoin is not subject to questionable monetary policies of governments. The maximum supply of 21 million coins has led many to believe it can serve as a hedge against inflation. Scarcity also increases the dollar valuation of an asset in the future if demand remains the same or increases.
On the other hand, many central banks have printed large amounts of money to support failing households and businesses during the COVID-19 crisis. Among other factors, the move fueled record inflation in many countries. In June last year, US interest rates hit 9.1%, the highest level in 40 years.
