I'll be spending Christmas with Lemmy this year, thank you

My last boss told all his employees to invest in crypto, and I believe all of them put a substantial amount into it. He was a country hick who worked machine repair beside me at their shop. Thought he was hot shit because he was a member of a Facebook Q group and thought he was smarter than everyone else because he "knew secrets on a deeper level". Okay bud.

I left before the end of the year because he stopped scheduling me over a comment I made about another one of his fucking insane conspiracy theories he liked to spout instead of helping with the workload.

Then the crypto crash happened. They went out of business 8 months later. Can't imagine why!

Eat shit, Wayne. Those gals and that kid working under you deserved better, you cunt.

I could shame OP for falling for the crypto hype but I think the more important lesson here is to never ever mix family and finances.

Even if you know for 100% fact that you have a slam dunk investment, it’s not worth it. Money corrupts.

Never loan money, even if you don’t expect it to get paid back. It creates a power imbalance. Envy and resentment for you having money is better than creating any financial ties.

Never go into business with family.

Don’t mix finances and family. Family is more important than money.

Whoever thinks suggesting crypto to family members is a good idea deserves the hate.

Unless they hate their family and want to see them come crashing down in a ball of fire and misery, finally getting what they deserve for decades of pain they themselves created

...why are you looking at me like that
