An engineer friend of mine works at a heating maintenance company. Says a lot of the field technicians he works with were heavy into "crypto" trading, and are actually in debt now.

Was surprised to hear as I still think of that degen stuff as moms basement internet randos, not normal people doing proper jobs within 2 degrees of separation from me. Makes some of those stats about how high crypto ownership is more believable. And shows how real and damaging all these scams are, fueled by big VC money.
