So, my boss is not giving me a raise anymore because I invest in crypto

What an awful Friday, bad enough to ruin the entire weekend. I feel like this is the only community that can understand the stupidity of the situation.

Today was one of the rare days when I meet my boss in the office (due to smart working) and we work together.

We usually discuss many random topics to pass the time but today my tongue slipped and I mentioned that I'm investing in Crypto. His response was pretty much (translated to english):

"Are you seriously buying crypto? That's what you're doing with the money that we're paying you? (...) I don't think I can still consider your salary raise request since your current salary is good enough for you to gamble it away."

What the hell is wrong with some people, why is investing in crypto such a controversial topic? Where is this stigma coming from? I wish I could have told him the way Ethereum is changing the world at least, but he's not someone you argue with... This is the kind of shit I'm trying to free myself from with my investments.

Sorry for venting, but I just have nobody in real-life that supports/understands crypto, not even in my family. Most people would tell me that he's right.
