don't brag about your money dude
just tell him % gains and leave it at that. you blew your power level. if he asks for specifics, just say "i'm doing pretty well with the investment" and ask for his opinions on what he considers to be better investments and why

Boomers hate the idea of others having money and bit them. They'll never be happy for you.

For older generations, value was tied to work. Thats why getting a good job was important. Speculation is seen as getting value from thin air i.e. cheating.
But money is money. Wether it is reflective of actual value is anyone's guess. And thats something that hurts people's work ethic. But life is not fair and hardwork hardly pays if the value it provides is low.

I wish value was still tied to work. I wish I could be in a hunter gatherer society. Every time I mentioned this people point out how I would get an infection and die and that people were always struggling but that's the point. I would rather be free and suffer then sit in a chair 8 hours a day like having everything handed to me with nothing to do but think about how pointless it all is. Ted was right about human happiness is all I'm saying. Crypto is my ticket to freedom so I can by some land to live off and have enough saved up to earn dividends that will forever pay my offsprings property tax.
