BBC News published this video item, entitled “How young people are hooked on cryptocurrency and NFTs – BBC News” – below is their description.
The lure of making a quick buck has always attracted young people to invest in risky assets.
For Generation Z, it is the volatility – and the decentralised nature – of digital assets such as cryptocurrency and NFTs which appeals.
Gen Z – also known as Zoomers – are the age group born between the mid-1990s to early-2000s.
Cryptocurrencies are digital currencies while a non-fungible token (NFT) is a way of owning an original digital image, touted as the digital answer to collectables.
But they are unregulated, meaning there is little investor protection.
