This surge reflects how emerging technologies and alternative financial mechanisms are creating unprecedented opportunities for a new generation. The intersection of AI-driven tools, decentralized prediction markets, and accessible online platforms has lowered barriers to entry while accelerating wealth accumulation at scales that seemed impossible just a few years ago.
