Welcome to the Margin Call Generation • We’re living through a reset. An entire generation switched to a different operating model. They don’t optimize for stability. They optimize for risk because stability no longer exists. • The old script was linear. University. Decades of predictable income. A brief retirement window. Then the inheritance drama. That framework is breaking in plain sight and the next decade will finish the job. • A new generation grew up on sports betting, memecoin volatility and games where losing is part of the loop. To the old guard it looks reckless. In reality they already blew up more times than anyone cares to count. And they kept coming back. Failure turned into training data. • They don’t take risks for aesthetics. They take risks because the default path is dead. You can’t buy a home on a normal income. You can’t secure a future on a career ladder that no longer leads anywhere. Education guarantees debt more reliably than opportunity. • So they adapted. They think in probabilities. They understand drawdowns. Their first margin call lands around the age previous generations got their first bike. It’s not swagger. It’s survival. • This risk-native mindset that looks dangerous to older cohorts is about to become the dominant logic. The world behaves like a crypto market: chaotic, noisy, overinformed and fundamentally unpredictable. And then there’s Trump. • Risk tolerance is the core skill for the next decade. The ones who get wiped out won’t be the risk takers. It will be the people waiting for stability that never returns. Markets punish nostalgia. • Trading, with all its brutality, remains the best teacher. Nothing builds resilience and risk appetite faster Stability won’t save anyone. Adaptation will. The world is volatile by default. You either learn the rhythm or get liquidated by it.
