      Cryptobros are something else.

      I remember a day at university, had 2 hours to waste before the next lecture, so I thought I’d mingle with the others. Walk up to a table, 2 dudes doing homework for a lecture I am attending as well. We exchange pleasantries and go on about working through the assignment together.

      They start talking about Dogecoin and how it will be the next big thing. Ask me if I have a wallet, I say I’m not into crypto. They start evangelizing about crypto and how it’s “for the common people” and how I really need to join their quest to be financially independent. Ascertain that I’m good and I want to focus on the assignment, but give the idea a thought. One of them drops the line “Dude, so cool that you’re aboard. Trust me, we are gonna be the next viral thing!”

      I laugh, pack my shit together and leave. From there on out, I spent my free time in between lectures alone.
