Leave your sister alone, she doesn't need to consult you about anything. How entitled are you to think that just because you work in software you get to authorize the decisions that another adult makes.
- tinus_hn 4y agoAt most you can tell people that, even more but similarly as with regular stocks, you should only invest money you can afford to lose. People talk about Bitcoin going down but S&P 500 lost about 1/8 of its value as well.
- bartvk 4y agoYeah but he has "an actual career in technology", which apparently makes him also an authority on investing. What's weird, is that he poses two possible situations: a) she didn't know about crypto being a risky investment and b) she actively avoided his opinion. Then he goes on to ask advice on a, but not b. But of course both can be true. Or none, but if she actively avoided his opinion, why would him giving unprompted advice now work?!
- low_tech_love 4y agoNo, I’m not an authority on investing, but I read about crypto all the time and I know the risks involved. All of you replying to this thread know exactly how risky it is for a person to invest on something as volatile as crypto without understanding what they are doing. Yet, you still want her to do it. That is exactly what I expect from scammers.
- low_tech_love 4y agoI don’t get to authorize anything; I want to advise her with an informed perspective. My sister is a psychiatrist who uses her computer for facebook and MS word. I ask her advice all the time when I need to talk to my friends about sensitive subjects. There is no harm in me giving her advice on technology-related stuff.
