Read carefully, because it seems that reading comprehension is not your strong suit.

Wiktionary defines "crypto bro" as "an enthusiastic cryptocurrency supporter, usually male, especially a dogmatic and condescending one".

You may notice I do not fit any of those categories, besides perhaps being male.

For the adoption of cryptocurrency by businesses and states, I am apathetic, even mildly in opposition. As for being dogmatic, I entirely am not, because I don't give a shit.

But I will admit, you have successfully tempted me into being condescending towards you.

This is not different from five state-wide positions with a requirement that the candidates live in a specific region. It's weird but not particularly unfair.

It's just a matter of presentation.

Why would I make up the number 1 most common interaction between a Cybertruck owner and a normal person?

But here's a picture I took of his car while he was attending church (across the street from the grocery store):

And yes, you can tell it is new because it doesn't have a number plate yet.

The picture was taken on 30 March, the interaction happened a few days earlier

This is not investing. I did not ever hold significant amounts of cryptocurrency. People would ask me to sell them crypto and then I'd buy it on a crypto exchange and then sell it to them.

I do not believe holding cryptocurrency qualifies as "investing". It is much closer to gambling as the entire valuation is purely speculative. I get that all investing is gambling to some extent, but it's not the same as stocks, for example, because holding stocks gives you voting rights for a company's board of directors and entitles you to a portion of the company's profits in the form of dividends.

There is risk, of course, but it is not market risk.

But how do you define "crypto bro"? Sure not "any person who's ever held cryptocurrency", right? Because that would make 25% of the US population crypto bros.

I absolutely reject this categorisation. I don't give a shit about crypto or any of the ideas behind it. It's interesting from a technical perspective as a person who holds a computer science degree, but I'm in it for the money. Holding crypto is gambling, and nothing more.

The only crypto I hold now is for online poker sites and for buying precious metals on r/pmsforsale on Reddit.

What makes you think I'm a crypto bro?

I was walking to the grocery store when I saw a neighbour polishing his in front of his house. I said "Wow, a Cybertruck," and he replied, "Cool, isn't it?"

I said, "No, it's a $120,000 go-kart made of scrap metal that will rust in a month."

Edit: sounds fake but I do have a picture of the car in question, but I took it on a different day—

Ah yes. How to get by without a job:

  • Fraud (false warranty claims)
  • Theft (stealing coins from vending machine)
  • Gambling (crypto)
  • Literally just self-employment (starting a drop shipping business/flipping things on eBay)
