“I Can’t Stand This Crypto Evangelism”

“So, which cryptocurrencies should I buy?”

At a recent family gathering, a relative asked me again about crypto, about the fourth time in as many years.

As is often the case, many people ask about this at the wrong time, i.e., amid a bull cycle.

After a 30-minute discussion, during which I provided information and answered their questions about this asset class, we revisited the topic the following day.

Five minutes in, their enthusiasm quickly waned, prompting the memorable remark:

“Okay, I can’t stand this crypto evangelism.”

I quipped, “I’ve given you the information. Hopefully, this time (after seven* years), you will take my advice on board. For more information, please don’t hesitate to call me.”

*I first mentioned Bitcoin and altcoins to them in 2017.

To put it bluntly, F off and stop asking me about it.

Jokes aside, connecting with a potential partner has been challenging, as many women, particularly those in their late 20s and early 30s, still view Bitcoin and crypto enthusiasts with scepticism.

“So, you’re one of those crypto bros?”

And she must be a narrow-minded diva, but I digress.

Yes, we can meet people at conferences and other events, but I choose not to and have still opted to focus on my crypto investments.

Most of us have a life outside of crypto.

I look forward to the day when I can use a significant portion of my crypto profits to make a house…
