When I tell stories to normies about scams and shitcoins and other crypto shit, they're generally pretty amused, even some of the women I've been on dates with. Is this your experience as well? It's probably because I'm not trying to shill them shit
Talking crypto to normies
They usually look at me like I shit my pants or threw up after telling them how chainlink will make them a millionaire
Didnt mean to sage, mate. Forgot to take out
Or it's because you're passionate about shitcoins and you're a good storyteller
crypto gives a lot of stories, people like them if you're being fun and not shilling
actually stopped talking it with g/f, she was getting too interested and I don't need her gambling her $$$, it's my fallback if I lose all mine doing this
I'm passionate about the lawlessness and degeneracy of it all. Fuck, I'm not even a good investor. I'm down overall probably $800. But, holy shit, I told a date about the hotdog bart/other rug pulls and she thought it was hilarious
i do already miss ass.finance
Good idea. I led my friend into this. He aped in on a shitcoin and lost $1k+. Seems like a pittance, judging by the boasts here, but him and I learned our lesson on these fuckers. Sitting out, for the most part, until this market takes a shit
Dates seem to like hearing about it. Most haven't invested in crypto so it's a whole new world and all the stories are fresh.
My brain automatically puts that kind of info into the "nerdy things / do not tell anybody" zone, but i guess that the content is not very important, if you are able to tell a good story with it
If you tell it casually, like it's just one of many new things you've tried out, that's fine. If you say it's taken over your life, maybe not lol
If you're not literally driving around in a lambo or flashing wealth in some other way, talking about crypto to your tinder date while rolling up in the honda is about as cringe as it gets.
Same, I try to avoid talking about it though and always shut down the convo.
fuck you nigger
Yes, with normies is all about times, if you go over the right amount, then you start looking weird, then obsessed, then they call the police
I think the whole world of crypto is hilarious, and people on the other side find it fascinating. It's like black market stocks where everybody is out to fuck everybody (at least with some of the Uniswap shit) by making money off something called "hotdog." I think people like to know there's still some Wild West in the world
i talk really fast and skip a lot of info so people think im just an idiot even if they dont know anything about crypto, just from the way i speak about it
never reveal your powerlevel
Frankly, I think the idea you need to flash wealth and talk about crypto in any capacity is tastelessly boastful. The main point of the convo isn't about crypto; it's just a side point of interest
Recently normie friends were talking stock trading like a bunch of redditors. I hold a couple long term, boring ass stocks that sit there compounding. Riveting shit.
They are chasing next iPhone release pump, betting on airlines and other dumb shit. I assume from wallstreetbets but I don't really know/care. I don't say much, pretty amused they are in that game.
Conversation shifts to cypto and I mention I own a few and invest in it. They all shriek and look at me like I eat my own poo. I explain I own stock too but I like crypto and can make good money from it. Everyone is skeptical, no one cares. Conversation moves on because fuck em I ain't shilling it.
It's weird to me, but oh well.
It's all about relation. Relate it to something in the shared world. Don't talk about it as an expert. Never treat it as that unless that is agreed-upon main point of the conversation
That's hilarious. They were still skeptical even after saying you made some OK money?
I learnt not to let friends know how much you are talking because they can get jealous quick
Understandable but kind of shitty or maybe they're just young. Hopefully they aren't your only friends
but any average person who has even the slightest knowledge of bitcoin will precieve that you are fundamentally in it for the money and any talk of its use cases is just superfluous small talk.
Not too young, just the way of normies. I just laughed to myself. Not my close friends, just people I play sport with. They are good folk.
not a single irl soul would guess if i even knew what cypto is let alone how much money i have in stacks
Yes you have Aspergers
speak
I don't talk use cases to normies, or really anyone for that matter. I think that's the key
Know the type. Good to have a laugh with, but not people that are open to new, odd shit
Ecochain will probably be the new Antshares. All it'll take is one.
Most normies know about bitcoin and I've had multiple people at work (health care) talk about etherium.
when i told your mother about SUSHI and how it sucks liquidity out of uniswap like a vampire she smacked her lips and said' oh u like sushi huh bad boi , i got some fresh sushi for you' I succed it good , all the liquidity gushed in my mouth
I only hold so I don't have many stories. All I can tell them is how link will make me rich.
