The Research on Millennial Generation

There was research conducted in 2018 by the international, research and analytics firm, Edelman Intelligence, that showed that 77% of the prosperous millennials see existing banking system as it is design in favor of the rich and powerful, rather than the working class.

The conducted research also shows that the lack of trust prompted the same nearly ⅘ respondents to predict that another international financial crisis was just around the corner owing to the bad behaviour of the existing banking system.

75% of the respondents were concerned about the global financial system in that it was at the risk of getting hacked, causing the respondents concern about the potential loss of their own private financial information.

With that said, this generation has put their faith somewhere else. As the recent figures implies that around 17% of millennials own digital currency.
