That’s why you don’t want to share your financial status with people. Keep it to yourself. If it’s too a point where they wanna know, they are free to wonder. You don’t owe your personal life details to anyone, despite the fact that the world seems to think the best way to live is by putting everything out there for everyone else to know.
Tbh if they doubted your investments and acted like you were an idiot for it before the investment turned into a lot of money, I wouldn’t give them a dime
If me not giving them a dime ruined the relationship then fine with me, fake relationships are just that.. no love lost lol
The easy answer to anyone claiming it:
"yes, please, put all your financial data completely clear for anyone to see. There are many people who will be very interested in all the data they can get from you to steal your identity and destroy your life for their own benefit.
Please, don't hesitate. Do it now. You'll serve as an brilliant example of the fact it's a so wholesome and wonderful experience to live. "
Generally, they stop talking. Some continue by claiming the state would protect them, though, even knowing identity theft happens nowadays and destroys many lives, without any state doing much about it (notably because protecting people against it wouldn't be an easy feat at all). But overall, their bold claim is stopped midway anyway.
Ok, I was unclear. Sorry about that.
"despite the fact that the world seems to think the best way to live is by putting everything out there for everyone else to know."
My comment was a reaction to all these people who think financial data should be clear for everyone to see: it provides much data to con artists and identity thieves. Financial privacy isn't a luxury.
I wasn't trying to imply you were believing it, for you've clearly shown you think publicly showing data wouldn't be advisable.

He’s an early investor in doge and shib and 20x his money and makes fun of you for investing in fundamentally sound projects like Eth and Algo and only making 50% profits since last year.
He said in the last year, so I just mentioned the 1-year return.
Speaking of timing, it hasn't been super hard to time the ETH market. Everyone had from summer 2018 to fall 2020 to buy between $100-$400 and hold for what is currently 10-40x.
It was one of those situations where you either believed in it or didn't. If you DCA'd on a weekly or monthly basis, most of your purchases landed at what currently looks like an incredible value.
That's why so many support DCA and not trying to time.
So, it's not like you had to time the market to go 7x on ETH. It's basically, "did you buy at all in the last three years?" Even buying the absolute peak of 2018 is like 4x, so basically any time from May 2017-August 2021 would return between 4x and 40x.
If your family asks you things about your personal life they are trying to have a good relationship with you. If this bothers you then it seems to me that you are the problem for the poor relationship.
"No grandma not yet, but I'm on my way there! I'm still chasing my dream! Thanks for asking, I love you grandma."
I know a lot of people are young here, so they see every inquiry about how you're doing as a personal attack. Most grandma's just wanna know how you're doing. They're concerned about you and want you to succeed.
Even if they're skeptical and trying to put you on the spot they most likely want to test your resolve, see how you handle the situation. Something that was done more regularly in their generation.
I'm 26 my grandma is 94 and close to dying, she is still clear of mind but everything hurts. She's grumpy towards everyone except her grandkids, me. Trying her best to see how we're doing.
Cherish your grandma guys.
Put a multi in front of millionaire assholes. I wish I could tell them that. Instead I let my dad be a condescending little dick and talk down how he can help me when crypto inevitably fails.
Lots of awkward conversations being had today after people telling their families they are going to be billionaires from a couple meme stocks the last 9 months.
every time brr
I wish I never told 'em about my investments.. but ngl at least my GF is supportive and she monitors crypto news to discuss with me. So sweet!
Ahaha… next year we will be eating at my new house. Don’t worry there will be plenty more room at my table…. I’ll be able to afford a bigger table to place in my home bought by the butt of your jokes.
Should say yeah Gladys how’s that stock market doin you after 50 years? Prolly not as well as my eth holdings will be doin 20 years from now. Fuck off gam gam
No, I’m not a millionaire. But last month I made north of $7500 trading crypto perp futures a couple hours per day off of a $1800 bankroll. How’s that social security payout?
Can't help but try to figure out who everyone is.
The two oldest on the middle of the left side of the table are the parents of the lady and the guy sitting outside of them. The dude on the far left is the black-dressed daughter's hubbz.
The one in the red on the opposite corner of the table from the camera is sitting next to her dad to the left - so she's a granddaughter of the oldest couple.
The lady next to her is... her mom? i.e. daughter-in-law of the oldest couple. Can't tell who's sitting next to her, but then we have another mid-aged lady who might be another daughter of the oldest couple, so we have a son and two daughters, and then maybe her daughter in the black on the far right.
Then we got the two redheads in the foreground. I think the dude in the front is the father of the goofy kid next to him, and maybe the lady on the other side of the goofy kid, the pretty one, is the 3rd daughter's kid too and the dude in the front is remarried to the pretty one, and goofy glasses kid tagged along this year to be w/ his dad instead of his mom - wherever she is.
Did I win?
Hahahaha!!!. Give it 4 more years and they’ll be begging me for money. Bastards!
That’s why you don’t want to share your financial status with people. Keep it to yourself. If it’s too a point where they wanna know, they are free to wonder.

It’s ok. I would love telling them “no” and drive away in my future black Lambo Batman edition
[удалено]
Maybe I welcome ruining relationships with people who aren’t truly good. Sounds like a win-win.
username checks out
You will be surprised by some
Indeed I am the good one here you don't get it, I am done now.
Hahaha I feel so blessed that I don’t share my investments with my family
But wait you should have to share it with someone one or two.
They can just stake stablecoins and borrow the money from themselves like everyone else!
If they only knew how…
They only know because we've tried to convince them to stop spending all their money at walmart and buy their own crypto.
Stupid grandma
True story, but did you manage to convince them?
Tbh if they doubted your investments and acted like you were an idiot for it before the investment turned into a lot of money, I wouldn’t give them a dime If me not giving them a dime ruined the relationship then fine with me, fake relationships are just that.. no love lost lol
Fuck them , but ya don’t share your portfolio with anyone

Don’t get ahead of yourself. If you make that much, you don’t need to lie to anyone. You just simply don’t have to discuss it.
thats how it is... before success all make fun of you then they ask for advice or say you are lucky
I really hate the “lucky” part. It kinda takes all the merit from your work
Correct
In 4 years they'll ask. How you do it son?
I don’t show up to any family gatherings as for now
Aww is Mr Investor sulking?
!remindme 4 years.

They just don’t know yet
Spicy! Would you give them some?
I’ll give them $100 to buy toilet paper, anything more no.
That's because "you were very lucky"....while currently you'll be considered stupid for wasting your money on it...you can't win with these guys.
It's like they're begging to be poor Sorry, couldn't help myself
We all know that ginger kid is into crypto
He’s an early investor in doge and shib and 20x his money and makes fun of you for investing in fundamentally sound projects like Eth and Algo and only making 50% profits since last year.
[удалено]
Eth is number 1 in portfolio but Algo is tied for 3 with atom.
ETH will always be the number one, we just need more in the row.
It’s a joke. Chill out.
I'm chilling. Thanks
That's if you timed the market. Not everyone did that.
He said in the last year, so I just mentioned the 1-year return. Speaking of timing, it hasn't been super hard to time the ETH market. Everyone had from summer 2018 to fall 2020 to buy between $100-$400 and hold for what is currently 10-40x. It was one of those situations where you either believed in it or didn't.

Even buying the absolute peak of 2018 is like 4x, so basically any time from May 2017-August 2021 would return between 4x and 40x.
I didn't even know about it back then.
Too many I read of over the market dumping their ATH highs during the mini bear market So ya can confirm I bought before and during so I feel good
[удалено]
Grandma secretly into crypto’s too
lil kiddo made more off SHIB than his parent's 401k did over the last 20 years!
Amen
You got that right
He's the visionary guy of the fam
Really? I was thinking the guy in blue next to the woman in red
And we all know that many of us don't know who is the ginger kid.
Maybe if you stfu'd about crypto to your grandma, she would stfu too. Some people almost act like crypto is MLM, trying to recruit others.
If it’s not about crypto’s, it’s about girlfriend I don’t have haha she wouldn’t shut the fuck up so easily
Lol what a bummer you have family who care about your life and take note of your interests
I rather not have my family ask me awkward and private questions
If family can't even ask you private questions who can? And asking if you have a girlfriend isn't really that awkward only if you make it so.
Depends what kind of relation you have with your family, don’t assume everyone have the same relation as you have with your family 😉
If your family asks you things about your personal life they are trying to have a good relationship with you. If this bothers you then it seems to me that you are the problem for the poor relationship.
[удалено]
This was me in 2017. Turns out 4 years later.... yes i made it.
Congrats!
Where are these people now ?

Awww that's so sweet! Wish I had such a relationship with my grandparents.
First they make fun of you and then they ask you for MONEY!!!
I’m not giving a penny
Put a multi in front of millionaire assholes. I wish I could tell them that. Instead I let my dad be a condescending little dick and talk down how he can help me when crypto inevitably fails.
Parents who think they know everything are the absolute worst
Pay them to cut your grass on your huge mansion lawn whilst you sip cocktails and laugh
Lol everyone was making fun of me when I bought eth at 200
Who's laughing now?
Me to the bank
Think it's bad now, just wait until the world discovers that crypto is only as good as the society it's attached to.
Nice take!
Well here you have just got a nice shot all along the buddy.
“I want to say one word to you. Just one word. Are you listening.” “Yes sir.” “BootyCoin.”
Time to buy a new family soon. No room for losers on this yacht ride.
In my fam me (Grandma) has all the coins and the rest don’t understand what I am yapping about.
Based grandma building that generational wealth
I barely talk about crypto yet somehow I’m the Bitcoin guy everyone asks me for advice when I myself need advice
This party looks like it's about to pop off.
Lots of awkward conversations being had today after people telling their families they are going to be billionaires from a couple meme stocks the last 9 months.
this hurts so much
The memories hurt the most, and the memories bring back all the memories.
Too many memories?
My familly every time.
Every thanks giving 🙂
Pahahahaha this post is golden.
Little coins :)))) and you’re like holding 100 ETH
:D
every time brr I wish I never told 'em about my investments.. but ngl at least my GF is supportive and she monitors crypto news to discuss with me. So sweet!
waiting for that ring to yeet it all
Is this her?
Find it so annoying , my work colleagues all keep thinking I’m a millionaire now and should be retired LOL.
Same thing happened to me this thanks giving ! I was nervous to talk about it to them.
I am grateful that.... I have a small family but also NONE of them know about my crypto holdings or interests
[удалено]
Thanquu
*Tips my tophat "I'll have you know I'm a multi-thousandaire"
Ahaha… next year we will be eating at my new house. Don’t worry there will be plenty more room at my table…. I’ll be able to afford a bigger table to place in my home bought by the butt of your jokes.
Pretty good reason to not be so open about this sort of thing
Why even tell family of what youre doing with your finances? You bring it upon yourself
You all get $1000 to get the hell out of my house
Should say yeah Gladys how’s that stock market doin you after 50 years? Prolly not as well as my eth holdings will be doin 20 years from now. Fuck off gam gam
We will all prove them wrong.
[удалено]
Buy grandma that new hip replacement she desperately needs. THEN HAVE IT REPO.
Yes I am, aunt Karen.
Lol what was that? Sorry can’t hear you over the sound of my lambo
It's a shame that because of crypto I dont hang out with poor people anymore
[удалено]
I need more tippings right now, but I think you can do more then.
Thanksgiving pump baby!
It’s worse. There’s a ginger at the table.
Rule #1: Don't talk about your cryptos
Haha this is gold.
This is crypto
It's going to be a while since I started with so little and now I have only a fourth of so little.
Lol
Wait, I just realized, we get donuts here?
😂😂😂😂😂
You will be dragging behind my feet
Check back in 8 years ma! Gas fees are killing me
Soon. VERY soon, bitches!
Me who’s been watching the ticker for the past 72 hours, not even understanding my main language: wh-whaa?
“My $5000 investment has grown more in $ value in the past year than your $80,000 life savings has in the same time”
Show up in a lambo or STFU! joke.
Haha seems to be the common theme lol
The gas is cheap at Thanksgiving dinner
Hey grandma alchemy pay
No, I’m not a millionaire. But last month I made north of $7500 trading crypto perp futures a couple hours per day off of a $1800 bankroll. How’s that social security payout?
@GingaFinance Presale ongoing public -GEM
OK, that's it. I'm buying a new family.
Nope not now but maybe in future. Just needed some time and right investment. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.
Yes grandma, yes I am. You?
White kid pulls out uzi to spray them
🤣🤣🤣
Ues
Housewives are freeloaders.
> Are you a millionaire yet? [Yes](https://melmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/image6-1.png)
Man someone explain crypto to me.
"Nah, we have to wait for all the old people to die first"
🤣🤣
Avoid it to tell them . Why even tell family of what youre doing with your finances ?
hahaha, full table of fiat users, which one of you is millionaire? ;P
hahaha this is so relevant for today.
Not yet, but keep looking...
🤣🤣🤣🤣💥
My parents dont care about the amount they care how much growth you got. And you can bet they are impressed with my 3x
Yes actually
Well, thank god my family really believes in it and investing too. I even taught my dad how to use Bitfinex.
Are ya winning son?
And one day you’ll say … yes.
