My girlfriendās dad is a banking exec (post on /r/cryptocurrency)
My girlfriendās dad is a banking exec, I told him Iām all in on crypto
He and I met yesterday. He is a kind and mild mannered guy who comes off as deeply intelligent. I asked him how he felt about decentralized finance and he said it was a risky venture (no surprise from his banking point of view) and anyone putting money into it is a fool.
He seemed disappointed that his daughterās boyfriend wanted to talk about crypto. For me, crypto has fundamentally changed my life - it has taught me about finance, geopolitics, and that I have the agency to live a life I wasnāt sure was possible. So, when he seemed disappointed, what did I do? I doubled down. I gave an impassioned speech about why cryptocurrency is changing the world and democratizing resources that traditionally only the wealthy had access to. It is giving poor communities a fighting chance and that it is revolutionary and something that is a big part of my investment strategy.
I donāt know what the point of this post is, but I just, idk, he made me feel like a fool of an investor because he either just doesnāt get it or is scared of it and I feel like his view of me has become less favorable in terms of dating his daughter, but Iām going to stand up for what I believe in.
Ramble over.

The year is 2035, you buy g fuel with doge coin
The year is 2035, you enter your local 7/11 to buy yourself a g fuel before your shift in the local crypto mine. The android working the counter says they only accept doge coin. You pull out your phone, draw a stick man in less than five seconds on a yellow back ground and then sell it as an NFT. From the sell you make 6 doge coin, about 5 million dollars in old world money. You go to buy the drink only to find out that from the time you closed your phone to the time you talked to the cashier the coins had dropped in value to only 3 dollars per coin and you now owe at least 10 doge coin to the robot for the gamer fuel. You leave the store, frustrated, and drive off in your Tesla

You have to have a very high IQ to understand Bitcoin
sigh
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Bitcoin. Its future applications are extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of computing and economics most of its possible functions will go over a typical investorās head. Thereās also Sitoshisās free market outlook, which is deftly woven into his creation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Robert Malthus, for instance.
The shills understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of this coin, to realise that it is not just speculation - it says something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Bitcoin truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldnāt appreciate, for instance, the brilliance in Satoshiās brilliant programming method - the āBlockchain,ā which itself is a cryptic reference to Haber and Stornetta's Merkle trees. Iām smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as our lord and savior's genius wit unfolds itself on their computer screens. What fools.. how I pity them. š
And yes, by the way, i DO have a Bitcoin tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. Itās for the ladiesā eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that theyāre within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid š

You think it's funny to take screenshots of people's NFTS, huh?
You think it's funny to take screenshots of people's NFTS, huh? Property theft is a joke to you? l'll have you know that the blockchain doesn't lie. I own it. Even if you save it, it's my property. You are mad that you don't own the art that I own. Delete that screenshot.
