In 2017 when I first bought LINK I said politely to all my family members "I'm doing well with cryptocurrency and I think I found some real long term winners. If you're interested, I'm happy to help you invest." None of them took me up on it.
I am worried when I quit my job they will start asking questions and I'll have to explain myself to them. I don't want to lie to my family, especially not my parents. I don't think they'll be jealous but I don't really want them prying into my financial business too much. My mom is always asking me how I am doing financially and my dad sometimes jokingly asks "how are your bitcoins"? I answer "I don't have much bitcoin but my crypto is doing pretty good" and then he gets this shocked look on his face like he expected to embarrass me and then goes "oh.. well, ok."
How do you plan on approaching this conversation with family after you make it?
don't tell unless your stack is worth 10 million+. it's beneficial that your parents think you're poor.

I didn't tell my parents anything about my crypto investments. I only told my brother to invest. I didnt want to take a risk with their money even though I knew LINK was the bet of a lifetime.
Elijah Walker
lol don't tell them shit people go fucking crazy when someone they know has money.
You don't know what money does to people user.

But if I'm quitting my job what do I say? "I have money in the bank and I'm just going to wait a while for my next move"? I guess that could work as I don't plan on doing nothing.
Nathaniel Anderson
I was thinking that recently too... depends if you have a money grubbing family or not. If they are expecting a handout, they I don't advise telling them anything. If they're supportive of you, make a plan on what to do next (i.e. buy a house, go to grad school, etc) and then tell them you have the money to do that (which you got from crypto), and move on with your next step in life.
Lucas Perry
yes I didn't pressure anyone. At the time my thought process was "If I get very rich off of this, I will feel bad if I didn't at least offer the opportunity to my family members." Even to my sister, who is a total cunt, did I extend my hand. So at the very least I don't have a guilty conscience. They made their own decisions.

Maybe you should go back in time and invest in your familial bonds, OP. Some of us have good relationships with our parents and they’re gonna be coming to the yacht party too.
I have a very loving relationship with my parents and that is part of this. I don't want me having money to risk changing that. As this user says
I think money can change the way people behave. Even if it's subtle like my parents expecting me to pay for fancy dinners every time they visit (right now we split things like that about 50/50), I think it will change our dynamic.
Ian Hernandez
nothing wrong with treating your parents to a nice dinner

Adrian Watson
I'm telling you man don't do it.
I told my friend from high school about it and our relationship is now only about how he can trade. I wouldn't dare talk to him now - look at LINK.
Austin Allen
Here is how i do it : i tell them i made like 200k$ enough to justify quiting my job then id tell them i invested those 200k into some shitstock that gice u passive income and thats enough for u ro never woel.
Nolan Jackson
I never had much money to invest and invested in coins that are now useless. I was too dumb to follow the link memes.
Jacob Hughes
They don't have to know you quit. Just go to the library or some shit.

It’s always been me and my mom. I’ll never turn my back on her. Assuming owning link is like owning https/ssl, then I will buy my mom her own personal villa in our home country surrounded by her family. While I secure financial freedom for my wife, my beautiful children and myself. That being said, I’ve done a good job keeping quiet about link and only told 3 people back in 2017, all of them lost interest in crypto after buying xrp. Anyone else will just think it was my mathematics degree that made me rich, and I will tell them Math phd 300k starting.

Yeah I still live with my parents they would freak out if I quit my job so I’d have to tell them... unless I pretend like I’m going to work everyday and just go to the gym, see movies, do that kind of stuff.
Tell them you've been trading stocks and are now earning enough to focus on that instead of working. Boomers don't understand crypto but they'll accept it if they think it's traditional stocks.
Levi Rogers
I told mine that I'm investing in a tech company. Didn't mention the words Chainlink or cryptocurrency. My parents are boomers so they probably wouldn't understand even if I told them exactly what it was.
Nathaniel Morris
having a job or something to strive for is an important surrogate activity for the modern man to have, you have much to learn.
Ryan Thomas
Find another job, something you enjoy. Start a business, something. Don't let yourself stagnate.
If you do that, you don't have to explain shit except you changed your career.
How much money do you have? Is it 10 million+? Because that is what it would take for me to actually quit working for good
Matthew Johnson
You already made the right choice. Dont tell your parents, future wife and especially children. My plan is to tell my relatives that i got a job as a ghost writer for famous people and thats my job. I can avoid any plan by saying that i need to write and a nda forbids me from giving any info about it. Its also the perfect excuse to be away from wife and bang whatever you want. Ggwp
Anthony Parker
I strive to be rich and smoke weed and have an Asian gf
Luke Moore
Do you live at home? If not just tell them you’re still working, how would they know? Otherwise move out then quit your job.
Caleb Ross
Do not tell them what you're worth. Take 10 minutes to learn how to establish a business. Start a business i.e. become self-employed. That becomes your story instead of saying "I quit my job and am early-retired".
I wouldn’t tell them. My dad and his family haven’t seen/spoken to each other in twenty years because of money. Thankfully my parents & brother also invested in link so they will actually be better off than me. Happy we are rocketing together though sometimes I wonder if that is a massive cope on my part
Charles Reyes
>it's beneficial that your parents think you're poor. why?
Grayson Campbell
If you don't want to lie then your only option is to tell the truth. Don't mention it if you don't want to and when they ask, say that you make enough from crypto to live comfortably without working .
Nicholas Cook
Read Industrial Society and Its Future by Ted Kaczynski and you'll understand what reference I'm making. No amount of weed, money or asian girlfriends will make you happy without a surrogate activity or something to strive for. In fact the depression and the suicidal thoughts will make lose your money quicker than the bear market we just got out of.
