Here’s a humorous take on old crypto investors vs. new investors, for anyone who’s been in the game long enough to nod knowingly:
---
Old Crypto Investor
· Thinks “HODL” is a sacred mantra, not a typo.
· Still has PTSD from Mt. Gox and checks exchange wallets just in case.
· Buys Bitcoin, forgets about it for 5 years, finds old hard drive, has a heart attack.
· Portfolio: 90% BTC, 10% ETH, 0.5% “that weird coin I mined in 2014.”
· “Back in my day, we sent Bitcoin to wrong addresses just to feel something.”
New Crypto Investor
· Asks, “What’s a private key?”
· First purchase was Dogecoin because “Elon tweeted a meme.”
· Portfolio: 37 different altcoins, 12 NFTs of cartoon animals, and a fractional share of a metaverse plot.
· Panic-sells if coin drops 3%, then FOMOs back in at the top.
· Thinks “bear market” means literal bears attacking Wall Street.

When They Meet
Old: “Have you tested sending a small amount first?”
New: “Nah, I just clicked MAX and sent it. Why?”
Old: (stares silently into the abyss)
Old: “You really should use a hardware wallet.”
New: “I keep my seed phrase in a Notes app screenshot, it’s fine.”
Old: (sweats in 2011)
New: “I’m up 2000% this month!”
Old: “Let’s talk after your first -95% dip.”
New: “That’s impossible, my influencer said so.”

Old Investors remember when Bitcoin crashed 80%… multiple times.
New Investors think a 10% drop is “the apocalypse” and post “RIP crypto” on Twitter.
Old Investors see “FUD” as a normal Tuesday.
New Investors see “FUD” and immediately sell their grandma’s inheritance.
Old Investors still own Bitcoin they bought at $300 but forgot the password.
New Investors change their entire portfolio based on a TikTok trend.
