As a relatively early boomer (born 1950), I noticed another dividing line right about my age. Kids a couple years older tended to be more "50s kids", while those only a couple years younger were more "Woodstock generation". Thinking back to my high school class, it seemed that we didn't really fit either group...more of a cusp year. Much more anti-war sentiment among those younger than me than older. Likewise beer vs pot.

A lengthy academic paper about Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC), authored by a U.S. Space Force major, has become a bestseller on Amazon.
Meanwhile, from the I-can't-make-this-up-files is the Doge-Father's actions today. Musk is known as the "Doge-Father," and since dogecoin was originally developed as a joke, meme-coin, by 2021 Dogecoin had morphed into a real coin. For his part, Musk has been a fan of Dogecoin and since Musk's sense of humor loves irony, Musk once stated,
"Arguably the most entertaining outcome, the most ironic outcome, would be that Dogecoin becomes the currency of Earth of the future."
Given Musk's open support for Dogecoin, it isn't without irony that a group of investors have a huge $258B dollar lawsuit against Musk for "pumping" Dogecoin. Today Musk asked a judge to drop the lawsuit, and as the King of Twitter Trolls, he switched the Tritter Bird Logo to the Dogecoin logo. Meanwhile, it is widely been believed that Musk intends to switch payments to Dogecoin on Twitter.
