I have not cast many pearls really, because people do not listen to you, and it's a waste of time.

yup, same experience here, waste of time.
Any thoughts on why?

guessing: friends with a history of poor judgement and short term thinking suddenly change their habits for "magic internet money"

Maybe Bitcoin and Marilyn are best unmentioned unless friends pass the marshmallow test?

I boggles my mind, frankly. I have been telling some of them since 2011. Much less now than then, lol. But those folks just keep saying things like "You still havent sold that idiotic bitcoin? Still going down with the ship, I guess?".

I have another buddy who only wants to invest in "value stocks". But enjoys vicariously living through me as a "Bitcoin investor". I have tried to explain to him that trying to store value in stocks, is like keeping all your bills and records still on paper and in the mail. But he never quite gets it.

So mostly now I just smile and nod when folks tell me that some day I will be sorry when the whole thing comes crashing down...
