Crypto really is low status and trashy. It has afforded me a lot of opportunity but it’s also embarrassing and not something I am excited to tell people about

I tend to agree. I hesitate sometimes to tell the average person about crypto bc of all the baggage that comes with it.

Crypto needs more taste and thoughtfulness around messaging and culture.

I tend to talk about use cases when problems occur with the status quo vs coins..   that has helped level set expectations to be something beyond "number to up?"    IMHO it's a curse to bring someone into crypto for "profit" as they'll chart watch 24/7 and face mental decline.
