Let’s face it — we are digital beings now. Our lives continue to revolve more and more around a digital existence that becomes more and more entrenched and every year goes by. 2020 is a new frontier compared to say the year 2000.

Our lives and the person we project to be to the world centers around tech. Facebook, Twitter, cell phones, text, streaming this or that, smart this or that, self driving cars....

The future in a world where the digital and physical worlds attempt to mesh.

What impact does this have on the economy as a whole?

Social media millionaires from apps like Youtube and Tik Tok are just a fad from a generation that will grow up and abandon it eventually. The real economic impact of the digital word is crushing the brick and mortar retail industry, broadcast and printed media, commercial real estate developers, and movie theaters. This is all to the benefit of the e-commerce developers, streaming services, delivery services, and retailers that have kept up with a good online presence.

Not exactly true, plenty of people profited from BTC. BTC is the millennial gold.
