It started with good intentions.
“Why not,” I thought, “enlighten my landlord about the future of finance?” I imagined a tear rolling down his cheek as I explained decentralized governance. I thought maybe I’d get a discount on rent for being a visionary.
What actually happened was... worse.
I showed him my MetaMask. He asked if it was a dating app. I showed him my staking rewards. He asked if I was doing something illegal. I tried to explain that I don’t technically own my tokens when they’re on a centralized exchange. He told me I didn’t technically pay rent this month either.
The conversation hit rock bottom when I tried to convince him to accept rent in $PEPE. “It’s a meme coin,” I said. “It’s culturally significant.” He asked if I wanted to live under a culturally significant bridge.
Now every time I pass him, he mutters something about tulips and snake oil. And I’m not allowed to use the building Wi-Fi anymore because “you might be mining frogs in there.”
Moral of the story?
Not everyone wants to be early. Some people just want their rent in cash and their internet free of amphibians.
Goblin Tip of the Day:
When talking crypto to normies, start small. Maybe not with frog coins, burner wallets, and a DAO run by a goat.
