Do you tell your friends/family about crypto? Has your advice made someone a lot of money? Lost someone a lot of money??

I told a friend about Chainlink months ago, but he didn't listen -- now he's got a serious case of FOMO and is acting like a complete asshole.

I tried to tell a good work colleague back in early 2018 that the market had bottomed and he should buy crypto. He is the typical cucked wagie - doing extra hours and taking everything mr Shekelberg throws at him yet always being passed up on promotions and pay rises. He dreams of starting an airbnb business. Told him multiple times but he just says it's too complicated.

My boomer dad though loves crypto and we have bants about it. Got him in some icos in 2017. Unironically made him a req marine until I convinced him to sell his bags at a loss and now he is a 20k LINK marine.

Difference is my dad lost money on req but doesn't hold it against me since he made shitloads back on link. I control his funds cause he is too brainlet to handle private keys so there is no chance of him selling due to weak hands etc. If you give a non-relative investment advice, 99% of the time they will fuck it up and blame you.

I also made the mistake of telling some friends... I think you need to test the waters before giving so much advice, for example now i talk about the fed, the economy and gold first, and if they aren't interested i just give up, however if they become interested i little by little start talking about the 2008, gold hedging, silver, btc being born... then ethereum... send some info so they HAVE to read it by themselves and do some effort, and if after all that they digged in and did their research then you start giving some average advice like telling them about exchanges like binance and opportunities, see if they are still interested after some days or weeks, ask if they have any ideas of what crypto would work, what they think about the future of ethereum, etc....

You start giving little by little until it comes up naturally, unironically act like some women that is trying to get some betabuck in marriage, you don't go all in or you will get him scared and he will blame you

The best thing about LINK is that only true autists will make it, normies are guaranteed to fucking sell early or sell low or sell in shakeout, so if you want to give advice then see if someone is autist enough, i think the first course of action is actually sending some pepe memes from /pol/ or /tv/ and gauging their reaction

I only have 100k Link which is nowhere near enough to actually make it.

All these Linklets with 10k stacks singing about 1k eoy are starting to piss me off with their propaganda. It was a joke and they are actually believing it and causing FOMO in newfags preventing the dump. I need to make it to 300k before mainnet for fucks sake. Link is only going to $10 max. Right now I might make 1MM before tax on that, but tax will take a big chunk out of that then inflation will fucking ruin me over the next decade.

Even if I chuck the 1MM into a dividend stock that pays out well and I get 70k a year of it, it's not enough to beat inflation unless I basically live in poverty as a neet and keep my wagecuck job in the meantime so I don't have to sell any retirement Link. In 10 years that 70k a year will feel like 20k a year. You need a minimum of 2MM, but more likely 3MM to make it. The upper predictions for Link where about $60 but that was made during the bullrun of last year, and it assumed that the overall crypto market cap would still be expanding and BTC would go on to 1MM a Bitcoin and that we would be in a full blown crypto FOMO hype bubble when mainnet came out and we got our price singularity. All of that isn't going to happen anymore.

The singularity is cancelled. Now we will have a slow growth to $10. And the sad but ironic thing is most people on this board will hold from 20 cents, to $10 and then hold all the way back to sub $1 again because you all believe the 1k eoy memes, and just like the retards who held BTC and didn't sell at 19k, you will do the same with Link at $10. Looking at the current charts depresses the fuck out of me when I know I only have 100k Link, nowhere near enough to make it.

At best I will have 1-2 sweet years, and then return to wagecucking after that. But it will be worse because I will have tasted freedom and know what I am missing out on.
