Someone on TV or a golfing buddy or their idiot kid or their unsuccessful uncle on a family group text. These are the things I’m hearing right now and I don’t have the time educate the entire world. If it’s someone I really care about, I just ask some questions like I’m really curious and try to expose to them they have no idea what they bought.

A friend opens their phone in front of me and I see the meta mask app and I’m like WTF are you doing? I at least know what that is, now I know you’re buying shitcoins, where do you get these ideas???
I ask questions too. What made you buy that? What do you think will happen? It’s like when I used to work with addicts who wanted to get sober…
My other favorite is trying to split a bill or something and people all like, “we can do venmo or zelle.” And my response is I don’t use those, here’s some cash or let’s do Cashapp.
The divide between us and normie financial product consumption is WIDE
