🟢 Boomers Might Accidentally Send $BTC to the Moon

The Kansas City Fed just laid out a projection no one in crypto is pricing in—aging wealth is on track to unleash one of the biggest asset demand waves in modern history. Between now and 2100, demographic trends alone could drive a capital shift equal to 200% of today’s global GDP into financial markets. And as real interest rates slide over the long arc, the classic “safe” assets won’t generate enough return to protect trillions in retirement portfolios.

That’s where the story flips. The same generation that dismissed Bitcoin now faces a landscape where capital preservation requires alternatives with scarcity, liquidity, and upside. Once ETFs, pension products, and institutional wrappers normalize crypto exposure, even a fractional allocation from aging wealth becomes a market-moving force.

Nobody’s trading off this yet because the industry still assumes adoption belongs to youth and speculation. But demographics don’t care about narratives—capital follows necessity. A 1–2% shift from legacy portfolios into digital assets would trigger a repricing that dwarfs every prior cycle.

The irony? Bitcoin’s biggest pump may not come from retail FOMO or halving hype—it might come from the very people who spent a decade calling it a bubble.
