NBA champion and tech-investor Tristan Thompson posted on X that “Bitcoin is the retirement plan for a generation that doesn’t trust the system.”
Thompson has emerged as an outspoken advocate for Bitcoin and broader crypto adoption. He has publicly discussed how athletes and younger investors are turning toward digital assets as a long-term savings vehicle.
Several surveys indicate younger generations are more open to crypto for retirement. One study found 20 % of Gen Z respondents would consider receiving pensions in cryptocurrency, and 78 % said they trust alternative savings options more than traditional pension funds.

Market analysts caution that high volatility and limited regulatory clarity make relying solely on Bitcoin as a retirement strategy risky.
Still, Thompson’s statement reflects a broader shift in sentiment among younger investors who express distrust toward legacy financial systems and increasingly view crypto assets as part of their long-term wealth planning.
