The Blight of the "Crypto Bros"

Aug 03, 2022

 The Crypto field is largely a male-dominated, toxic, and misogynistic boys frat club, a collection of insecure guys with  plenty of bravado, who insist on referring to each other as “bro.”

They are typically a fake Rolex-wearing millenial who leaves a potent trail of Hugo Boss after-shave wherever he goes.  He listens to EDM, hasnt missed a single Coachella or Burning Man in the last 4 years, and thinks he’s some sort of financial wizard just because he has a beard and owns 0.01 Ethereum.

“Crypto Bros” like to brag about their assembled collection of crypto coins, when in fact the only thing they've built in the last 3 years is a Star Wars X-Wing lego set.

They will enthusiastically tell you “Wolf of Wall Street” is their favorite movie, even though they’ve only seen it once, and they also believe sharing or liking “to the moon” memes on Reddit qualifies them as “working in the crypto field”. 

They slavishly retweet anything by Elon Musk, Mark Cuban, or Jeff Bezos, and like to think of themselves as a “fellow disruptor”, even though they currently only have a thousand dollars in their checking account.

Crypto bros enjoy speaking in silly acronyms and jargon, especially if it makes others feel small or uncomfortable. They pretend to want to help their friends get into crypto, while staying distant and aloof, and they awkwardly force the word ‘blockchain’ into every other sentence, even though they dont really know what it is.

Their ‘diet’ is dominated by Red Bull to “boost productivity”, balanced with an occasional Kombucha “for health and wellbeing,” and theyve somehow managed to convince themselves theyre on a path to becoming this generation’s Warren Buffet, even though their day job is still selling cars at a local Kia dealership. 

On Instagram they follow motivational accounts of other bros who post nonsensical quotations like, “In order to succeed, you must not fail.”  They also think Grant Cardone is a genius.

Many bros bought a bunch of NFT’s on a whim, but now dont know what to do with them, other than brag about their “digital portfolio of jpegs”.

The crypto bros share “alpha” among each other and shun “FUD” - or anyone who talks negatively about anything in the crypto world. 

They look forward to retiring by the age of 30.

The Bitcoin Brits are two English gentlemen who were fed up of seeing the crypto. world dominated by 'bros.'

They believe that crypto education should be available to all, that it should be explained in plain English, and that the most profitable areas of investing should not be protected like a secret society.
