For the past three years or so, every time I (25F) talk to my dad (63M), he tells me about some crypto coin I should be buying. He's been following this guy on YouTube who has a course on how to become a millionaire in a year after the bear market ends, and my parents have been buying all the coins he recommends. After he gives me the latest update on the crypto market, I get a recommendation to "Buy QUANT! Buy GALA! Buy more VeChain!"
I, being a person who doesn't want to spend my limited fun money and not a full believer in crypto, mostly smile and listen and eventually change the topic. He even said he's going to buy me a crypto coin as my birthday gift, which I told him not to do because if anything, I'd rather have real money and not have to sell the coin behind his back. He got upset even when I told him that.
After the last time we met, and he told me what crypto I should be investing in, I politely listened and told him I'll think about it, but he got loud with me that I should stop shrugging him off and buy these coins because they're going to be "huge."
