Obi-₿it Koinobi on Nostr: I just don't talk to people about it at all, with one exception being a couple that I ...
I just don't talk to people about it at all, with one exception being a couple that I know. I've talked to them at various times over the last year (gave them a book, earmarked time for them in case they had questions, etc) and every time it's been a waste of time. I stopped and hadn't said anything in months. A couple weeks ago one of them asked me if I was into Ethereum. I wanted to hurl my phone through a wall. The first time they ever broached the subject of crypto they mentioned Ethereum.
I just said no and changed the subject. The next day I sent them a text giving context for why not and they wanted to know which bitcoin they should convert their Ethereum to in their Coinbase account.
I'm tempted to just tell them that I'm getting out but that's me just thinking about my own "opsec" for the future. Maybe I should also tell them flat out if they're not willing or able to put the time and effort into understanding what it is, how to use/store it, and why we need it then maybe they shouldn't be messing with it in the first place.
