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.
Remind us. How much money have you spent on crypto?
Nothing
Lmao! You're just going to totally disregard what you said yesterday about making money off it?
Love it.
Are you on drugs?
You don't seem to know the meaning of the word "spend".
How much have I bought in crypto to hold myself? I don't hold any crypto. The answer is zero.
The figure that appears in column E of Form 8949? Over a million USD.
You answers seethe of jealousy. You keep trying to pin the label "crypto bro" on me because you want to dismiss me as someone not worth listening to, and the money I earned as illegitimate and fake. You argue not because you think you're right, but because you can't bear to be wrong. To you, crypto is a scam with no use and everything it touches turns to shit, and everyone who says otherwise must therefore hold the opposite opinion and think everything it touches turns to gold. Binary thinking at its worst.
Your thinking is simplistic and devoid of nuance. You're right about one thing though. I am condescending. Because you deserve it.
Reply if you desperately need to put in the last word with a feigned aura of coolness, and laugh it off, because there are no more arguments to be made. Only insults left. You won't receive a response, and I won't even read whatever you write, because this conversation is over.
Go buy a Cybertruck or something.
Cool story, bro. Hope it works out for you.
