Welcome Reader! You have heard “Bet On Degeneracy” a million times from an anonymous Bull profile. He is not wrong. We are already living in an interesting era. One where everyone has unlimited resources and opportunities. Yet everyone is worried about the most ridiculous stuff possible. Living in a bubble is one way to put it. The other way is that we are losing our sense of what matters. What is the best thing you could do? Start noticing the trends and where things are going.

What Is Happening Around?

Play in the background for the maximum reading experience.

Realization Where We Are Heading: It is important to mention that we are not considering a specific time frame for any of these predictions. Without a doubt, we can say we are entering times where all those are present. Do we have an exact period? It is impossible to say. Depending on what you are doing with your life and your position. You will have an easier or harder time noticing certain trends around you. The future? Contrary to what everyone is saying. The future is bright for those who avoid traps and focus on what matters. Not following the norms and standards set by the masses - if you think and act like others, you will end up like the others. The others? Life of gambling, hedonism, loneliness, and desperation. Escapism is the best way we would put it. Our advice? Bet on long-term degeneracy.

Gambling As A Form Of Golden Ticket: Everyone already sees the first victims. Meme coins are a perfect example. Theoretically, for a basic example - you have two options. Option 1) you are guaranteed that the assets you buy will be 3x in the next year. Option 2) there is a slight chance that the asset you buy will be 12x in the next year. You can guess what the majority will pick. Rarely will you have anyone picking up option 1), even if it is a safe bet where you are guaranteed to end with more money than before. No one has time for that. Option 2) is what most will pick. This is one of those ridiculousnesses that you will start noticing all around. This applies not only to meme coins but also to everything else. The average treats life as a gamble - they have nothing to lose but everything to gain. Polymarket is perfect proof. We are getting so deep that people are betting whether France will claim the recent news was a terrorist act or not. This should be solid proof of where things are heading.

Less Professionalism: Readers operating in more serious environments already realize what this is about. Young individuals miss the sophistication and social intelligence. They cannot hold proper eye contact, form more complex sentences, or do proper handshakes. No one should be surprised after all those years of internet abuse and the change in the social behavior of younger generations. It was obvious where things were going ten years ago when it was proven that younger generations are afraid to pick up the phone and call the food delivery. Maybe that is one of the reasons food delivery applications are so popular. Something that older readers reading this can’t even imagine. Yet here we are, and that’s the reality. This trend has resulted in the lack of charm and ability to attract mentors. Why would someone give you a chance if you are anti-social and unable to prove yourself as someone who is coachable? Ready to listen and execute on what you have been told. The chances of things taking a different direction are non-existent at this point. This means there is a solid opportunity for those lucky enough to realize that we are entering an era where social skills will gain greater importance than they are now. Leaving you with a solid opportunity.

Thinking Outside The Box: Big one. One that is already happening among the younger audience. A big part of this problem is the low level of focus and minimal ability to hold a thought longer than two minutes. How do you expect someone to think outside the box if they cannot break down simple problems? Readers operating in serious business environments understand the importance of thinking outside the box. The best solutions were created by thinking outside the box. Not just solutions. Thinking outside the box also made the most money in the long term. Great example? Netflix. A company that went from a rental service to streaming. Being able to think outside of the box and come up with solutions is a blessing. Instead of following proven patterns for success. The problem is that it requires an ability to focus and understand the layers of the problem - deeper meaning.

Mental Health Problems: Studies have proven that short-form content is causing problems. Big ones among young adults. Giving them a vehicle to compare their life with the other side. The other side being perfectly engineered to sell more - something everyone reading this should understand. The short form is also causing memory problems and making it harder to focus on longer tasks. We have already witnessed it with the Gen Z hires. This has been happening for a few years, which is why TikTok and YouTube dominate every other platform for younger audiences. One’s ability to focus dictates what will become popular. Now add on new technologies and new ways of dopamine abuse on top of this. The sooner the young ones are given access to networks such as those, the sooner they will develop mental health problems. It is impossible for a young person not to compare themselves with the other side.

Considering that the other side is living a fake life. What do you expect kids to think is a normal life? The result of that is the feeling of helplessness and misery. Lifestyle being projected? Not achievable by 90% of individuals. Rental cars, houses, clothes, fancy restaurants you name it. It is all part of the grand scheme of those gurus knowing what they are doing. Causing a whole wave of unmotivated kids who understand it’s impossible to achieve those results overnight. What are the results of that realization? Increases in the golden ticket chasing and choosing degenerate waves of making money. Taking the simple route and accepting that it’s normal. It is worth mentioning that an increase in drug consumption and normalization of the same plays a big role in this. Not getting any deeper - what we touched upon is the tip of the iceberg.

The constant bombardment of information and the pressure to maintain a curated online persona are taking a toll on mental health, suggesting a future where anxiety and depression could become the new normal. – Mind Matters Blog

Drug Usage Will Go Up: The late 80s and early 90s brought a huge spike in Cocaine and Methamphetamine. Later, we had a bit of an Ecstasy phase, and now we are in the Fentanyl phase. What does the future bring? It's hard to tell at this point. What we all know is that no one should bet against drug usage going up. Over the last ten years, everyone has been using something to feel better and relax. One of the most common excuses you will hear is average use. Marijuana has been accepted all over the world. The same goes for Cocaine. We are at a point where personal use is being legalized in many countries. A clear sign of what has happened in the last twenty years. A huge shift in acceptance of drug usage and the social aspect of it. What used to be a "well-kept secret" at corporate parties is now something everyone feels it’s right to brag about. Since the future is bringing more escapism, loneliness, and overall degeneracy - the conclusion is simple. Drug usage will go up and legalization will continue. Harder substances will become "standard" and those who are smart enough will still know how to use them to their advantage. Unfortunately, most are not smart enough and will end up abusing them until their quality of life goes to zero or they turn into the plant.

Bigger Cities: We will see more homeless individuals. Bigger gap between those who have it and those who don’t. Bigger cities will become even worse for those who cannot afford the luxury. Better said they will become worse for the average. We would agree that crime and other degeneracy will increase further. Cyberpunk-like dystopian look to the cities is guaranteed. Those living in the bigger cities remember how cities used to look twenty years ago and how they are now. The difference is night and day. If you have access to top spots in the city, you know it is a different story compared to where everyone has access. The difference will become more obvious, and it will be impossible to hide them after one point. Those who have will enjoy all that the big city offers. Those who don’t? Different story. If you are following our blueprint and being efficient, you are already setting yourself up for places worth being around. As drug usage becomes standardized, we can expect more of the bigger cities to turn into cities full of walking zombies. The same applies to tents and how we will witness increased city presence.

Degenerate Ways Of Making Money: Every two to four years, we think we have achieved the peak in money-making degeneracy. Yet we end up being surprised. Years ago, everyone thought being a streamer was a joke. Now we are playing the level above. There are multiple examples of people doing OnlyFans to finance their lifestyle. We also see people teaching others how to manage OnlyFans creators. Ridiculous. That is how far we have come in terms of degenerate ways of making money. Straight-up scamming is becoming normal. It seems like it's not as big a deal as it was back in the day. Our environment is perfect for those without morals or standards. What is the future bringing? Less morals and more degeneracy. Desperate individuals do desperate things to achieve what they want to achieve. There is zero chance that in the next two to four years things won't look more ridiculous than they used to. The easier it is to make money, the more attractive it is. Our advice? Avoid all those ready to lower their morals to zero to make money. They are not worth being around or your time. Why? Eventually, there will be a situation where the money is involved, and you will realize with whom you are dealing - disqualify hard.
