I have two friends that come over every once in a while. We are all software engineers. If I make it and buy a new house, I want it to be really nice (cause yolo and thots), but I also still want my friends to come over. Given the recent threads I’m getting concerned about word getting out about me knowing about crypto and getting robbed or some shit. I trust my friends, but I can’t tell them “dont tell anyone I invested in crypto” because then they would know the magnitude of how much I would have to lose, but if I don’t they might just casually mention it in conversation and word would get out.
The only alternative I can see is lying to them about how I made money. I hate to lie to my IRL friends but it’s opsec 101: don’t become a target. What believable excuse can I come up with? Serious answers only please

Practically speaking I guess you’re correct but theoretically all people are corruptible, friendships end, and opinions are mutable. I’d just rather not be on anybody’s radar if I can help it

I'm new to this so I have a question for you people. Do you unironically believe with this much certainty that crypto is going to make you rich? That it's not just a gamble? And even if it does all eventually moon, then what? Real currency and the world economy tanks?

Look anon it’s a fucking trade off no if ands or buts you will have to make some sort of compromise if you want to live a life of wealth or freedom whether that’s having no friends/family or going full jogger rich, make a choice in between that you are happy with. I think you are being overly paranoid. People like CSW and Richard Heart still have their wealth. Just don’t associate with joggers

Unironically this

Buying and HODLing is no different than lotto tickets or "collector's edition"

Actually acquiring wealth is wise financial management to capture and realize fluctuating valuation as your choice of equity. That's literally the heart of capitalism and any business. Buy low, sell high.

Crypto hodlers essentially freeze equity when they could use it to grow itself by trading on fluctuations in the asset or some other asset.

What if I don't have the time to invest money cause I have other stuff to do. I don't have enough to invest in real estate so this is the next best thing. I doubt crypto will stop existing completely. Anytime soon. I'm just using it as a way to save money with a slight chance of becoming rich while I'm heading into my 30s.
