Gen Z Made Polymarket Its Retirement Plan
Gen Z is moving money out of the stock market and into sports betting. Jackson Mikalic, Brian Cubellis, Liam Nelson, and Michael Tanguma put four stories on the shot clock. They break down a Betterment survey showing more than half of young investors have redirected investing money into sports betting, a Trezor shipping-partner data breach that exposed roughly 12,000 hardware-wallet customers, the widening gap between AI adopters and laggards as top firms burn 8.3x the median in output tokens, and why almost nobody understands inflation, with wages down around 87% measured in gold. Where's the signal, and where's the noise?
