First time I've seen crypto despair first hand

My father did an "asado" with his friends this Friday because a friend of his came from Australia after almost 10 years to our country (Argentina). As I just graduated from university with an economics degree his friends started asking what I was going to do as a job (mostly expecting banking or something).

I told them my plan: to try enjoy this year and keep working in crypto related stuff (I handle a small private portfolio of some invertors & give some financial advice, the standard stuff like diversify, DCA and don't buy a bunch now, it can always go deeper etc, things you should know if you are financially literate but most people don't know).

This makes me earn like 350 dollars a month that's a little below what I would earn if I did work at a bank. The thing is that I actually really enjoy what I do so I just want to give it a shot.

Parenthesis aside, one of my father's friends comes to me and says "you are still working on that crypto stupid stuff" I'm like yeah, why? And he starts going about how it will never go up and that it was all just a bubble that bursted and there is no money left to get from things like this.

And that's the first time I've actually seen someone so fucking negative about crypto and man did that give me hope. Like I know this is no the bottom, we should DCA & other things but it was the first time I felt that despair and total loss of hope that people from the 2018 bear market describe so much.

Anyways if you see any spelling mistake or something let me know, I want to improve my english. Have a nice day!!
