My dad hates crypto and pretends to know what it is.

Very sorry for the repost. This post got removed on my new account because it’s not 60 days old.

Last year I got into crypto and I decided to not tell anyone except my mom about it because I know she’s open and interested.

Today was the first day I told my dad about Crypto, I did not tell him to invest or anything but he was talking about someone who doesn’t know what to do with his money, and I said maybe he could invest in some crypto or something?

My dad said “You don’t have money in that bullshit, do you?” I said that I do and I knew what was coming, half an hour of calling me an irresponsible idiot and nonsense about “Wow they know how to find idiots like you” and how this isn’t regulated by anyone and it could be hacked etc etc (clearly he knows nothing).

I did not argue back, never did actually since I turned 20. Knowing my dad, he can’t be convinced that I might know something beneficial that he does not know about, but if one of his friends told him about Crypto he’d listen lol. I decided to say I don’t own any crypto and don’t plan on buying any, just so I can never hear him talk about it again lol. If he does not act like that, I wouldn’t have to lie.

Anyone experienced something similar?

Edit: It kinda hurts more now, knowing that I probably experienced this alone, but I am also glad that people in general got parents who are normal people.
