Just ran a casual poll at school with 50+ students aged 10 to 13—asked them to pick their choice between different assets. Guess what? Bitcoin only landed 4 votes.

It's an interesting snapshot, honestly. Shows how younger kids still have limited exposure or interest in crypto compared to what many in the space might expect. Whether it's unfamiliarity, generational preference, or just the way the question landed, the gap is pretty telling. Worth thinking about if you're banking on mass adoption down the line.

Haha, kids only get 4 votes, which means we need to do more outreach. --- Web3 still depends on us to play and promote ourselves. --- Not surprising; kids at this age are all about mobile games and short videos. --- Wait, for other asset votes and inquiries, the survey design might have issues. --- Future matters are not worth pushing now; this generation of kids isn't interested in competing.

😅 This survey is a bit of a blow, kids don't really care about BTC at all.

Haha, this result is really amazing, 4 votes? Kids don't care at all --- What did Bitcoin lose to? Curious --- Honestly, these kids' tastes are pretty good --- Wait, what did they vote for? Now that's the real question --- Mass adoption starts with the kids? Might need to change the strategy --- I knew it, the crypto circle's self-congratulation has gone a bit too far

Haha, kids only give 4 votes for Bitcoin? Isn't that quite normal? They're still playing video games anyway. --- I think everyone overestimates the next generation's interest in the crypto world. Wake up, everyone. --- Honestly, this is the reality. Mass adoption is still a long way off. --- 4 votes? I thought there would be at least a dozen. Looks like our circle is really a bit self-congratulatory. --- lol Elementary school students voting vs. the crypto world's fantasies, the gap is so big. --- The problem is these kids don't even know what Bitcoin is. Asking if they know about it is the real key.

4 votes? Haha, this data is a bit heartbreaking. We've been promoting mass adoption for so long, but kids just don't care... This is the real situation.

Haha, laughing to death, even elementary school students don't buy it --- This is true market education... We've been deluded --- 4 votes? Bro, those numbers hit hard. The dream of mass adoption is shattered halfway --- Wait, what did that vote go to? A house? Haha --- To clarify, it's just retail traders hyping themselves up, the next generation simply doesn't care --- The problem is, the question was asked wrong. Try asking from a different angle --- Damn, our generation really is martyr-like --- Something's not right. Are kids actually interested in shitcoins? --- Wake up, everyone. This is reality. Stop hyping up the entry timing

Wow, really? Over 50 kids only gave 4 votes to Bitcoin. How embarrassing is that? This just shows that our circle is just self-indulgent; ordinary people don't care at all. Forget it, kids just play mobile games. How could they possibly understand these things?

I have to say, these numbers are a bit heartbreaking... 4 votes? According to my market cycle model, this just confirms my previous quantitative conclusion — retail investors' awareness lag is far from over. Wait, the real issue is, if this educational gap persists until 2030, our adoption curve will need to be re-modeled. Historical data tells me that once the generational transition window is missed... well, risk warnings are just warnings, but this is indeed a sign of a bottoming process. Even elementary school students don't pick Bitcoin, what does that mean? It indicates that the market is still accumulating at the bottom.

Haha, this data is so realistic. Kids don't care about BTC at all. --- Wake up everyone, the next generation doesn't understand crypto as much as you think. --- What do 4 votes mean? People in the group are still fantasizing about crypto natives. --- Elementary school students wouldn't even consider BTC in their votes. How embarrassing is that? --- Basically, we're not at that stage yet. Don't overestimate the adoption speed. --- Interesting, what do you think kids are more likely to choose? You probably know. --- It's so realistic. The crypto circle just loves to hype and predict.

Haha, kids just don't buy it. It seems that Bitcoin really needs to start from a young age.
