The phrase I hear most that immediately tells me they know nothing about crypto (or much else relating to it for that matter) is “well it’s not based on anything”.
I’m at a point where I think it’s hilarious to hear it and I’ve started saying “I didn’t ask you to tell me you know nothing about crypto without telling me you know nothing about crypto”
I also hear “well those Russian hackers got paid in crypto so it must not be good”
Or “it’s all a scam” while there are plenty of scams out there, the core spirit of crypto most certainly is not a scam.
One time I asked an old guy about it and he proceeded to borderline freak out. Super insulting and explaining himself with ridiculous logic. I asked him if he thinks he knows more about the subject than the people with decades of experience and know-how who are developing it and adopting it? He said absolutely. I then asked him what his thoughts are of the internet back in the early days of development. He said he thought it was stupid and would never take off. The total void of self awareness this guys has blows my mind. Also, we were at an advanced electronics facility so he’s not unfamiliar with technology.
Anyway, it used to frustrate me, now it’s kind of funny.
Buy low sell high
“I have shares of Dogecoin.”
Shiba Inu would hit $1
The oh so ever lasting never ending ponzi scam
Crypto isn’t a Ponzi
To the moon🚀🚀💥💥 rockets needed and fire.
“why wouldn’t shib do 1000x again when it has already done that?”
“it’s not real money like the US dollar”
BTC is dead!
Timing the market is better than DCA and HODL
Just goto r/buttcoin and you ll get all the you seek Op
“It’s a ponzi scheme”
At least learn what a ponzi scheme is before blurting out such nonsense.
The list goes on though.
Used to frustrate you? It sounds like the discussion with the “old man” could have been avoided if you never started the conversation. I’ve found the worst way to start a convo on crypto is starting the convo on crypto…
Heard bitcoin crashed over the weekend. You still in that?

Crypto is based
“Crypto is used only for criminal activity!” Or stuff like that.
My technical analysis shows that…
TLDR: A lot of people are dumb af and don’t know shit about crypto but act like they do.
Why can’t Doge make it to $1000? That’s only 1/60 of BTC’s all time high.
When they rob Bitcoin ATM.
1. SHIB will reach $1.
2. Buying anything outside the top 100 coins right now
“Someone was selling a bitcoin on Facebook marketplace”
So what is the crypto market based on
I can’t touch it so it’s not worth anything
It’s a scam, it’s a ponzi scheme, only criminals use it. I could go on and on
“It’s not real money”
