Every time someone brings up crypto around me, I hit them with the classic line: it's all a scam. Sounds harsh? Maybe. But here's what happens next—nine times out of ten, they pause, get this sheepish look, and start confessing. Lost money on some project that vanished overnight. Got rug-pulled. Fell for a too-good-to-be-true airdrop. By the time they finish their story, they've basically talked themselves out of ever touching digital assets again. The irony writes itself.
