Greed, gluttony and pride. Yes, these “sins'' can be found in every human being in every industry. But why is it so prominent in crypto? doreenjwang reports for SinWeek:
“I would never date a crypto guy again,” said a software engineer based in New York after she ended a seven-month relationship with the founder of a Web3 startup.as “a person with a weak grasp on cryptocurrency applications yet has strong-formed opinions on the ‘best’ ones’” – is known to have committed at least a few of the biblical seven deadly sins: pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath and sloth.He is the sloth, because the goal is to be rich, not look rich.
Working in a traditional 9-5 job and with almost-zero experience in crypto, she couldn’t sympathize with his skewed outlook on money or with the fact that he never had a wage-earning job. And the cherry on top? “He would wear very cheap clothing. He put in no effort,” she said. “And it was [supposed to be] a power move.”
The perks were obvious at first: 10-course tasting menus and $500 cash at the end of each meeting. Then, he wanted to give her something better than cash – bitcoin.“I know you don’t know a lot about this,” he told her, “but I do, and I know this is going to be good for you.” In the end, he wanted more intimacy than she could give. She broke it off. And she never received the bitcoin.For the more weathered crypto sis, there’s nothing worse than dating a newly converted crypto bro who’s talking about dollar cost averaging at the top.
In the end, the guy who thought he missed the boat convinced her to sell at a loss. “It really bummed me out,” she said. “And then I had to break up with him because what choice did I have?”Fast forward two bull markets later: She made her way to “crypto haven” where it’s full of people concentrated on the future of funny money.is so small that you could build a reputation if you had been a “cynical bitch” to someone who just wanted to talk crypto on a date.
All these negative characteristics are more prominent “because we’re very flashy about it on social media,” v1 said.
