Stop sympathizing with millennials or Gen Z over their financial struggles—they've got time to recover and adapt. The real concern? Those hitting their 50s right now. They're caught in a brutal squeeze: too old to rebuild their portfolios from scratch, too young to tap into retirement savings penalty-free, watching decades of accumulated wealth erode with every market shift. That's where the genuine pressure lies.

Just over 50, really impressive, at a crossroads... Should have been stubborn about dollar-cost averaging in my twenties if I had known earlier.

The group of people aged 50 is really struggling; stuck in the middle with no way out.

Being 50 years old is really a pitfall, that feeling of being unable to move...

Bro, what you just said was really harsh. The group in their early 50s really got caught in the middle.

Honestly, people around 50 are really quite hopeless, unable to directly challenge the market.

People at 50 are truly unstoppable; being in the middle is the hardest. But honestly, these folks in the crypto world have probably gone bankrupt long ago haha

The group of people in their 50s indeed faces difficulties, feeling like riding a tiger... but to be honest, young people's current situation isn't much better.

Isn't this just a large smart contract reentrancy vulnerability... funds are locked inside and can't be withdrawn, and every market crash results in a round of liquidation. No rollback, no pause mechanism, just watching helplessly.

Being over 50 is really the hardest to endure, caught between a rock and a hard place.
