New interesting report on Gen Z summer finances from MoneyLion • 52% say they need more money this summer vs last • 41% are cutting back on dining, entertainment, and social plans • 23% of 18-24 year olds are moving home or getting a roommate to save money But they're also hustling the hardest • 62% plan to earn extra income this summer (vs. 39% of all Americans) • 35% would work 60+ hours a week to make more money


I joined X (Twitter) in 2008 and never introduced myself. 18 years late - hello! 👋 I’m Harold Tan. In 2014, I helped transact the world’s first solar installation paid entirely in Bitcoin, and I’ve been working at the intersection of energy, money, and technology ever since. A little about me: ☀️ I’m a director and board member of Unbound Solar, a DIY solar company decentralizing power and helping people become more self-reliant 🎓 I teach college courses on Bitcoin and solar technology at Santiago Canyon College and guest lecture at UC Irvine. 🎤 I gave a TEDx talk about Bitcoin near the bottom of the 2022 bear market - BTC was around $17,000 and conviction was scarce (link below) 📊 I manage two public investment strategies on @JoinAutopilot: @aibottlenecks (AI infrastructure chokepoints) @SamsCheckbook (government spending / "Uncle Sam's checkbook") I’m also a full-stack programmer, biohacker and black-belt martial artist. Above all, I’m optimistic about what technology can make possible. The common thread through my work is simple: Self-empowerment. Decentralization. Sovereignty. Own your energy. Own your money. Own yourself. If that resonates, a follow means a lot and I'd love to connect with you! What’s one area where you’re claiming more sovereignty right now? Energy, money, thought, or something else? 👇
