RE: Don't Tell Me About It

in LeoFinance3 years ago

Quality post.

This may as well be my life, family and friends.

I haven't related to an article that I've read on LeoFinance more than this one :)

My partner is the same - Extremely supportive, yet wary and uninterested in getting involved herself.

While I'm seriously passionate about a future decentralised internet/economy, my interactions with friends on the other hand, have just become a joke.

There is no point even trying to have a serious conversation, so I just joke about buying magic chicken cards while stacking, creating and building over here.

Like your friends, I'm not talking about tech morons here either.

IT, bankers, insurance etc etc - All industries that are on the cusp of mainstream disruption thanks to decentralisation, yet there's just no interest.

When I stop and think about this, it does highlight how early we are in the space, simply by being here.

Anyway, very cool and relatable post.

Cheers for sharing :)

I was thinking about this today as I got some messages from colleagues about BTC price. They hold some, however, while they are well up since they finally started buying based on our discussions, I am more of a joke to them in many ways, due to my openness and passion. But, it must make them feel uncomfortable to have made more from me over the last year than they did from their jobs. And, it must make them feel strange when other colleagues tease me about it, knowing this.

The terminally ill, seem to be the last to know they are dying.

Anyway, very cool and relatable post.

Thank you :)

Btw,

decentralisation

It pains me to put the "z" in things, but I have been doing it on Hive for years since so many were US-based users (at the start). However, it worked out well since the company I work for is Finnish, but its second head office is in the US, so most use US spellings :)
