Societal trend toward instant gratification: How this sustainably influences Bitcoin investments

Modern society shows an increasing tendency toward immediate gratification—a phenomenon that has profound effects on investor behavior. Researchers from NS3.AI document how this cultural shift leads to speculative patterns of behavior that resemble gambling mentalities rather than thoughtful wealth accumulation.

As a result, the priorities of many investors are fundamentally shifting: instead of patiently investing in long-term value assets, more and more are seeking quick profits. Bitcoin, originally designed as a digital store of value with a multi-decade perspective, is increasingly caught in this short-term speculative pattern.

Consequently, the long-term attractiveness of Bitcoin as a stable store of value could erode under these conditions. The discrepancy between Bitcoin’s fundamental utility and the current investment mentality becomes the central conflict. As a result, the question arises whether traditional blockchain assets can still maintain their place in a world of instant gratification.
