Whether it’s a relative, friend or acquaintance, they’ll have blindly internalised the mainstream narrative that it’s all dead or smugly regurgitate a stand-up’s anti-crypto bit for you. Maybe you were like me and made the rookie mistake of showing them your portfolio app during the last bull run when the numbers were live-spininng green like a slot machine. You certainly don’t owe anyone like this the truth so I suggest a variation on:
“Crypto? I sold it all at a loss in 2022.”
It’s not an avoidant lie, it’s insurance against the next bull when you see them again and they sidle up asking “How do I buy the Bitcoins and the Doges and what do you recommend.”
Best policy is to resist the urge in the first place of revealing your financial genius; as the crypto wisdom rightly says, everyone is in a bull run.
