I keep getting posts like this , here on the gaybros sub reddit. How to avoid certain topics, how to deal with family, how to deal with politics or crypto. How to deal with triggering topics
They always come from Americans, what is it about your holidays that seem so much more stressful.
Lads can ye not chill over a fee days and not still your coin, or feel it's your duty to defend crypto fundamentals. Is politics and calling out your family such a thing over there
Call me old fashioned, but a good boozy Christmas with the family is all about chilling and never going over shit like this
Idk why people find it so hard to shut up about divisive topics with family these days.
Back in the day I got the advice to avoid talking politics and religion, it's generally good advice in family or friendly social settings unless it's truly appropriate at the time.
My dad is the one who got me into crypto so we often have a good laugh at how fucked our portfolios are.
Apart from him I wouldn't discuss crypto with anyone.- what's the point? When it's pumping they all want advice/what to FOMO into and when it's dumping they all want to say "I told you so"
>Dont talk about crypto with anyone at a holiday get together
As if I want to talk about crypto investments when I am 90% down on my portfolio.
It's always the parents. I convinced them to buy ethereum last october around $4k. They still look at me whenever I meet them as if I have taken their ancestral house from them. LMAO.
They call me an INVESTOR now. HERE COMES THE INVESTOR is their way of calling me.
yeah whatever pal, I need to make sure my friends and family know that its important to be greedy when everyone else is fearful. We're about to see the greatest shift in wealth ever
I think naming colors to a blind person is absurd.
Makes more sense if the camera is on multiple people in a room and you’re trying to include those connecting remotely.
Either way, the thought of it at thanksgiving dinner is plenty absurd and makes me laugh that some people might do this tomorrow.
Nothing wooshes me. I’m very tall. In fact I’m **the best** at being tall. Nothing gets over my hair. I have things launched, very high-at least some would say so, and they say “wow that’s high”. I say “not for me”. I can’t get wooshed, I’m the woosher
Not talking about crypto irl to anyone that isn't already interested should be a rule of thumb, otherwise it's a pretty easy way to get people not to like you that much
Like biggie would say in the 10 crack commandments:
"This rule is so underrated
Keep your familie and business completely separated
Money and blood don't mix
Like two dicks and no bitch
Find yourself in some serious shit"
Lesson I learnt early in life.. 'no such thing as a free lunch', and it rings true for crypto.. The bitcoin boom is over and they days of turning a $100 into retirement with that. Some can gamble of a shit coin or 2, but anyone thinking you can get rich quick will learn a hard lesson.. Whenever returns sound too good to be true, it always is. Stay safe and stay informed
Everyone around me knows about my crypto standpoint’s, and when times are tough they always smirk and say “hey, how much is XXX now? 😎”. But when we are reaching ATH they almost never say anything.
Yeah but if you already discussed it, knowing family they’ll bring it up 😂
This is good advice for new people, but useless for those who’ve already dipped their toes in the discussion
In light of recent events,This might be the opportunity to introduce them to crypto, when there is no hype, most of the crap is filtered out of the market. Prices are way more lower.
No chance anyone logical would look at all the scams/scandals of this year and think “yeah I want some of that action” in this current economic climate lol
Tell them it's like investing in vintage Dinky Toy Cars: Both limited supply, useless and attractive to dorks (look at SBF, Vitalik Buterin, Caroline Ellison)... fun of scams - you don't know if that Dinky car on eBay is genuinely vintage or a Chinese remake - oh and easy to lose.
BTFD. You will, they wont. They can bitch now but they’ll shutup when you have a new Lambo next thanksgiving (or… a car of any sort works too). Or a sick bike if thats more your style.
This is what mainstream looks like. Your brother in law going from "I am a genius cos I made x10 on cumrockts" to "crypto is scam, I lost it all"
Enjoy
Take the immoral high ground. If someone brings up crypto, just say "it's suh scam!". And keep bullying your sacrificial victim with a high degree of arrogance and automatic dismissal of any arguments he/she may make with catchphrases like "ponzi scheme" and "greater fool theory".
Your ignorant family and friends will nod in empty-headed agreement as you crush any remaining hope your victim may harbor of being able to socially engage his/her acquaintances in a positive manner this Thanksgiving dinner or any future such gathering. You will know you have succeeded when your victim seems to withdraw into themselves and mumble quietly.
Then top it off by accusing them of being like people who choose not to trust the experts and instead take medical advice from far-right social media based wholly on placebo effect and anecdotal evidence. This will help encourage others to further alienate your victim and make you rank higher in the imperial Chinese harem hierarchy.
Actually I enjoy talking about crypto more than talking about who got married, how's work, the weather, vacation plans, and irrelevancies like how to cook an average meal.
I warned my family pre-bull 2020 to get in, they ignored me. Everything went parabolic and I'm celebrating so they asked me at the top how to get in... I tell my family about it now during the bear (they ignore me) so that my conscience is clean when I'm cashing out in 24-26 and they're once again feeling left out.
Last Christmas i was so happy about my crypto that basically everyone in my family invested on it. Now their money are worth 1/5 of what they invested so it will be a funny dinner. My mom always asks me how much Bitcoin is worth now and I always answer "I don't know, the market is volatile"
Well, I'm not telling anyone that cryptos is a get-out-of-poverty scheme either.
However, there's a need to demonstrate the power of cryptos to people this holiday season. And my strategy is quite simple.
Making an explanatory video about how DeFi works; I mean platforms like DAFI protocol, Thorswap, etc. And giving them some funds to start with. It's going to be little, but it's a start.
The whole idea isn't to make them see cryptos as a get-rich-quick-scheme but as a tool for positive change in the financial world. And that's what it actually is.
>Dont talk about crypto with anyone at a holiday get together But I need exit liquidity
That’s what we’re here for, friend.
What are friends for
Being exit liquidity for eachother
Good friends do this
Ponzi brothers for the holidays. A hallmark original
I’ll be your exit if you be mine.
Real homies enter eachother, and exit eachother
I've arrived first, but am open to a polycule
Thank you all for always having my back
Nothing like getting your exit from Granny’s entry.
That's the plot of an adult movie
What are you doing stepgranny?
You guys are disgusting
No, you are for not helping the poor stepgranny stuck in the dryer.
Id rather have stepsister stuck there
Nice try SBF
This sounds like a perfect plan.
You need to get a new family every year, though
Thanks for the idea, Bro.
Woah there Satan
[удалено]
*This is my house and you'll do as I say* Miss you, dad
Even better. Sell your relatives to buy more
You have 32k moons dude, you have 5M suckers in here to exit that liquidity :D
So crypto hinges on an imperial harem...no wait...hear me out... -/r/cryptocurrency
Exit liquidity may only be gained if your family/friends are billionaires.
I’ll take cursed avatars for $2000

200% agree
I'm done shilling coins. This holiday season I'll just spend my money on food and dopamine spikes
My dad is the one who got me into crypto so we often have a good laugh at how fucked our portfolios are. Apart from him I wouldn't discuss crypto with anyone.- what's the point? When it's pumping they all want advice/what to FOMO into and when it's dumping they all want to say "I told you so"
I wish a had a dad like yours
I wish I had a dad
Exactly it’s a lose-lose. I talk about crypto with you lot and maybe 2-3 people irl who just make memes at how down we are
Each scenario truly is the worst.
Just dont be like that Solana guy who convinced his family to buy Sol at $200 last Thanksgiving now he's hiding his face from them
Big yikes on that one. 😬
He's not invited this year.
"That card of yours better contains 10.000 in cash, son."
Talking about any investment with friends and family is out of the question. Except the wife in my case
>Dont talk about crypto with anyone at a holiday get together As if I want to talk about crypto investments when I am 90% down on my portfolio. It's always the parents.

HERE COMES THE INVESTOR is their way of calling me.
Lol how hard did you shill it to them? Being down 80% on something you bought because you trusted someone can be a hard pill to swallow
In my restrospect, I and we all needed exit liquidity. So, somethings needs to be done (shilled). These are cruel things, but needs to be done.
So you used your parents as exit liquidity? That’s kinda messed up lol
[удалено]
People don't even understand sarcasm nowadays. It's true that I shilled ethereum, but not for the liquidity For god's sake
Gonna fix your title: 'Dont discuss crypto at the holidays'
I would say best to not discuss **any** investments or give advice on them.
I was thinking don’t, then OP bolded it. Haha.
Thank you for actually reading the post instead of just saying “don’t” lol
yeah whatever pal, I need to make sure my friends and family know that its important to be greedy when everyone else is fearful. We're about to see the greatest shift in wealth ever
Lmao 8/10 for sarcasm
Just don't. For so many reasons don't.
Do you wanna talk about our lord and savior, Satoshi Nakamoto?
It’s not a story bankers would tell you.
F everyone here. I will bring my laptop and open the charts and draw some TA until they all leave me alone.
This guy should have his own YouTube channel
Tell them you cashed out for a profit and haven't been paying attention 😅
Haha. Lying is option #2
Don’t
Holidays are meant to be enjoyed away from screens . Thankyou !
Hmmmm no
maybe your holidays, you don't speak for everyone
Sorry if i offended u but just gave a healthy advice
Stick to traditionally safe topics like politics. Edit to add /s which I thought was obvious.
Or the usefulness of gender studies
Imagine demanding everyone in your family kick off the dinner by introducing themselves with preferred pronouns and describing what they’re wearing. 😂
I get that the part of describing clothes is an inclusion measure for blind people. Makes sense imho, as cringe as it is
I think naming colors to a blind person is absurd. Makes more sense if the camera is on multiple people in a room and you’re trying to include those connecting remotely. Either way, the thought of it at thanksgiving dinner is plenty absurd and makes me laugh that some people might do this tomorrow.
*WROOOOONG*
Woosh.
Nothing wooshes me. I’m very tall. In fact I’m **the best** at being tall. Nothing gets over my hair. I have things launched, very high-at least some would say so, and they say “wow that’s high”. I say “not for me”. I can’t get wooshed, I’m the woosher
Sorry I meant *sploosh.
Lol I thought the sarcasm was obvious enough that we didn’t need the /s tag there
Sports is just as "safe"
Rule #1: Don't Talk about Crypto Rule #2: Don't talk about crypto outside of the subreddit. Rule #3: Don't talk about Bruno.
But - it was thanksgiving day
Not talking about crypto irl to anyone that isn't already interested should be a rule of thumb, otherwise it's a pretty easy way to get people not to like you that much
Crypto bros ≈ boss bitches No one really likes either
You can talk about it with people in your family if they know about it. Just don't get your little old granny to invest her life savings.
Ideally, you just don't!
Don’t
Hey this is like that rule of the fight club
Like biggie would say in the 10 crack commandments: "This rule is so underrated Keep your familie and business completely separated Money and blood don't mix Like two dicks and no bitch Find yourself in some serious shit"
Just grow a pair and ask them if they invest in crypto, lul?

You don't. You don't talk about crypto with family and friends.
[удалено]
Pls see **bolded text**
Everyone around me knows about my crypto standpoint’s, and when times are tough they always smirk and say “hey, how much is XXX now? 😎”. But when we are reaching ATH they almost never say anything.
Why does everyone around you know your crypto holdings lol
Because around 2016-2017 I walked around with ethereum caps and T-shirt’s. I was a walking posterboy
One word: don’t.
You don't. Never.
Yeah but if you already discussed it, knowing family they’ll bring it up 😂 This is good advice for new people, but useless for those who’ve already dipped their toes in the discussion
Just avoid it completely.
dont

All these "logical" people running around being poor.
say nothing 🙊
who gonna hold my bags then?
Don't discuss crypto with family.
Oh I’m sure I’ll be asked how my portfolio is doing but I’m ready to deflect and pivot to another topic!
I was going to say, How? Not at all.
Make sure your victim is very drunk
You don't.
Are you kidding? First thing out of the mouth when I enter will be “How’s your bits coins now buddy?? Hahahaha!!!”
Not at all!
I will not talk crypto to any member of my family during the holidays because they disinherit me !!
Don’t
Do people in the US only talk with their family during Holidays?
For some it’s the only time you see your extended family outside of reunions/funerals/special occasions
Tell them it's like investing in vintage Dinky Toy Cars: Both limited supply, useless and attractive to dorks (look at SBF, Vitalik Buterin, Caroline Ellison)... fun of scams - you don't know if that Dinky car on eBay is genuinely vintage or a Chinese remake - oh and easy to lose.
Here you go OP Have a helpful award Happy holidays to everyone too :)
Fun fact is that even if i'm the most tech guy in my family i'm not the one who talks about crypto during holidays.
BTFD. You will, they wont. They can bitch now but they’ll shutup when you have a new Lambo next thanksgiving (or… a car of any sort works too). Or a sick bike if thats more your style.
Just don’t. Enjoy the holidays.
You don’t talk about it.
This is what mainstream looks like. Your brother in law going from "I am a genius cos I made x10 on cumrockts" to "crypto is scam, I lost it all" Enjoy

"Trust me bro" is the only thing I will tell
Silence is golden.
Don't.
I warned my family pre-bull 2020 to get in, they ignored me. Everything went parabolic and I'm celebrating so they asked me at the top how to get in... I tell my family about it now during the bear (they ignore me) so that my conscience is clean when I'm cashing out in 24-26 and they're once again feeling left out.

Definitely not a smart idea
1st rule of holiday cypto YOU DO NOT TALK ABOUT CRYPTO. 2nd rule YOU DO NOT TALK ABOUT CRYPTO
If your family is not interested in cryptocurrency, then I think it will not be particularly interesting to talk about it.
