I hear ya: myself, I heard "imaginary money."

But I've been long enough in the crypto-world to be philosophical. It has its funny moments. When Bitcoin was three figures, I broached the subject to my dad and he got agitated: he was afraid I was being scammed.

So I shut up about it.

Sure enough: when Bitcoin got above $15,000, he was asking me to explain it to his friends. :)

Something to smile about, and an important lesson. The time my dad got agitated (in 2014) was the time I should have been buying. The time when my dad was adverting me as a Bitcoin resource officer was the time to sell & wait to get back in.

The Theory of Contrary Opinion never wears out....
