What has been your experience with talking about crypto with normies?
A friend of mine flat out asked me and I told him outright. At the time my Link stack was £45,000 (last year before things went crazy).
What surprised me was that his reaction was really immature. He acted like it was all luck and chance and couldn't fathom ever taking the time to research and do it himself. I offered to help point him in the right direction because he's my friend and I care about him, but he quickly disregarded it. I shrugged it off and kept hanging out.
I've had a couple of experiences similar to this with other normies and there just seems to be this... disconnect between us because they don't want to take matters into their own hands and would prefer to live right on the edge of covering their costs and a few drinks on the weekend. I've only had one friend give it a crack once I offered to show him the ropes.

Have your experiences been similar?

I have never had a "friend". I only interact with people if they can bring me a profit. People are tools, you use them and then throw them away.

Never try to evangelize your surrounding. It'll just cause resentment towards you born out of frustration and self-loathing due to missing out their gold ticket out of wage-slavery.

I asked my friends if I should buy link in 2019 and they said no and that crypto is garbage. I bought anyway and now they are slowly getting into crypto. At least I got my bro and my dad to buy some link and btc

I was born dead inside, I have never felt a human emotion. Define "happy". I understand that when chemicals are released in my brain from certain actions it causes physiological reactions in my body, but is this "happy"?

I never did it like that, I'd simply tell my friends what I was up to when we talked but I never shilled projects or spoke about numbers. Even now, with the one that has been dipping his toes in, I haven't told him to go for link, instead encouraging him to do his own research, come to his own conclusions and and avoid scams. As much as I want to see him succeed, I don't want him to resent me for any possible losses because he bought what I told him to.

I shill finance to everyone I know, not just crypto but other forms of smart investing such as how to use credit and certain subsides/ tax loop holes to reduce morgage payments, how to set up a web broker and put money into safe etfs if crypto is too risky for you. Or explain why trusting a financial advisor with your money is a scam. I still get the reaction op, don't feel bad and keep trying for those who actually want to learn.

thats how it feels to me 99% of the time
i would always try and stick around after classes to talk to people, but it seems as soon as the class ended everyone would disappear
i lucked out in uni and managed to make 2 friends though, on of whom who hated me haha

the problem i find is that while you may connect with some people over a conversation, they just end up being boring people over all who never want to do anything

people have been conditioned into thinking that anyone talking to them about finance is trying to scam money out of them. it's incomprehensible to normies that someone that wants to be rich and successful also wants to be surrounded by rich and successful people. they have accepted their lot in life so completely that they assume you are using them as a ladder to access an elite social circle instead of trying to lift them up with you.
therefore, it is pointless in trying to help other people. always remember that advice is free, and as the saying goes, you can lead a horse to water but cannot make it drink.

its the concept that the pie is a set size, and that the only way to get a bigger slice is take it from someone else.
When the reality is we all get more pie if we make the pie bigger. even if I get a bigger piece, you do too.

But normies don't see that. All they see is someone has a bigger piece than them, and justify it as greed. Even if the person who has the bigger piece helped make the pie.

I talked about it with my very close family, and it only made them fight each other. I used to consider them (kind-of) rational people.

I also tried to talk about it with other normies, but the answer is like... "yeah, yeah, I don't care at all, now let me buy some lottery tickets" or "spend your money now, you can't have fun after you're dead".

My current posture is: Blockchain tech is the future, but I barely talk about investment or making money.

I’ve had the same experience Fren, but that’s why we call them normies.
I commend you for being able to still have them as friends.
Normies kinda give me a mental rash at this point.

my "friends" are currently at the stage of cope where they think it's not worth it because they have this idea that "hedge funds" will never let the normal person make any money in this market. Almost a sort of aloofness toward a guy like me who busted his ass and went from 4 to 6 figures.

is the socializing in university/college thing a meme? every single class I've had people show up, do their shit and go home straight away. The only contacts I made were lab partners

>> No.28678580

>>28678372
Depends. If you go to a school where everyone commutes from home, you’re only option for socializing is to join clubs/extracurriculars or live on a campus dorm. Or go to a school in some obscure city where the school is the only relevant thing in the city and therefore everyone lives on campus
