how do y’all deal with IRL crypto sceptics? today at a pre wedding dinner i ended up having a crypto convo 🫣 (which is just as bad as talking about religion or politics) it’s cos i mentioned im going to cannes so it was kinda unavoidable i was put under the spotlight to answer these questions - what’s a usecase for the blockchain apart from those “ape NFTs” - facebook invested billions in the metaverse and that was a fail so why do people still bother? - what’s the point of crypto when it’s so volatile? - who’s using it every day? - why is it better than normal banking? - whats the point of a “crypto social media” if tiktok pays creators already? - you can’t pay for this dinner using crypto if you offered the waiter stablecoin it would be impossible bro worked in finance aswell so it was like an exam phew im pretty sure i passed the exam but was quite eye opening to see a different perspective everyone ive ever spoken to irl (usually my age) have been super interested so it was first time having an experience like this

They are not gonna make it. Finance bro types are the worst. They don’t have an open mind out of fear imo

Studying capital markets teaches you the mindset of an industry. They spend years cutting their teeth and a new tech like crypto is a threat to their world order They have paid their “dues” and now it’s time for them to cash in on the machine. Crypto is another thing to learn that their bosses also don’t respect Stick to status quo and they are set
