π Earn $25 in BTC for a TikTok on the "4th Turning"
and is it time to buy gold?
GM everyone,
And welcome to TikTok Tuesday.
The crypto markets have been π for an entire ELEVEN DAYS, and the haters are already out there screaming "IT'S A BUBBLE!!"
They'll tell you to buy value stocks - "they have cash flow!" - good ol' real estate because it's "tangible" and some, like Peter Schiff, will even try and sell you their gold:

For a long time, I thought these assets were, in the long run, just alternatives to one another.
I thought crypto was a new asset class that would rise and exist along with all the others.
But I no longer believe that.
I believe crypto and the rapid rise of exponential technologies (including the recent ChatGTP) are a new paradigm of investing.
They mark:
the end of Boomer culture characterized by collectible cars, ugly sculptures, and commodities trading
the beginning of Zoomer culture characterized by JPEGs, crypto, technology, and memes.
As you guessed it, this culture is driven by Millennials and Gen Z.
You.
β Task: earn $25 in BTC for a TikTok video on the 4th Turning
To better explain the shift in culture and the generational gap (and what you can do about it), we're going to bring in Raoul Pal.
Raoul Pal is a long-time macro investor, a former manager at Goldman Sachs, and full-on crypto convert. He's also the founder of Real Vision and one of the rare macro voices in the crypto space that resonates (he has nearly 1M Twitter followers).
About a year ago, he wrote an incredible Twitter thread explaining the 4th Turning - a concept of generational shift taken from a famous book and applied here between Boomers and Zoomers.
The thread is excellent. And today, your task will be to turn it into a TikTok video.
So here's the task:
Step #1: Read this thread by Raoul Pal
Not on holiday yet so I'll allow myself one more thread...
The markets are crazy! NFT are just jpegs! Dog coins! Cat coins! Tesla ! GameStop!
Everyone is going to get burned! Don't they realize about discounted cash flows?!!! These people are ruining everything! Green energy?!

Step #2: Three steps today...
a) Turn the thread into a TikTok videob) Upload it to TikTokc) Fill out this form:
You can be creative here. You can use part of the thread, or the entire thread, you can use your own voice or someone else's, you can write, speak out, make it 30 seconds or 3 minutes - whatever works for you.
(You can look up best practices on how to create videos, and if you need inspiration, here's a thread I wrote on how I got 380,000 followers.)
All that matters is that you upload the video to TikTok and tag #2036 so we can find it.
The best video will win $25 in BTC.
Tomorrow will reward you for setting up a crypto wallet... that's right, it's Wallet Wednesday.
The task is simple - so stay tuned.
Alex.
