He just doesn’t get why I refuse to touch crypto because of feminism. When he comes over to my place on weekends, he’ll buy some shares of cryptocurrency. I’ve been used to not touching crypto since I was 18, but he’s a big crypto person. In a household with zero innovative investment vibes, investing in crypto is just the easiest option.
