I don't think most of the young investors these days are participating in a new economy. They are just trading Bitcoin as commodity on exchanges. In which case if they don't get it and Warren does, that's a problem for them.

Exchange is the foundation of any new economy. By creating exchanges, they are creating a foundation of the next economy.

A new economy that supposedly runs on a payment method that doesn't scale so have to resort to various degrees of centralization and trusted third-parties that don't deliver on the original promises of Bitcoin?

I guess I don't see what makes this a new economy and not just the same old economy with new commodity-based payment system.

It’s still very much under development. It’s not like the rest of the economic system was built over night.
