First of all, she first said that she would be supportive of his financial situation and said she was empathetic of his setbacks. She even said it was frustrating when Wayne keeps everything inside. And then, the second he lets her in and tells her that he made a mistake (he admitted it was stupid) by investing $2000 USD into crypto, she gets disproportionately angry about it and storms off, telling him that he doesn’t understand the severity of this.
All that did was ensure that Wayne keeps everything inside going forward and never shares anything with her again.
I respect your opinion, but I like to ask you a question. And you don’t even have to answer it, just let it simmer for a little bit.
Let’s say the situation played out, and all the details were exactly the same, only instead of putting the money into a cryptocurrency, he bought, but he was told was a lucrative stock. So, basically, replace, “crypto” with, “stock market”
Be honest. Would you be calling him an irresponsible idiot, then? Or would you just say he made an investment that didn’t work out?
Here’s the funny thing. We have no idea if that investment worked out. Honestly, unless the value of the crypto dropped by $2000, that same day, he could reverse that decision. If you put a tiny bit of money into crypto, unless the market is extremely volatile, you can usually get it right back if you have buyers remorse. But, others have said that corresponding with the time of filming to now, it’s very likely that his investment grew.
But for some reason, no one is giving him the benefit of the doubt on this.
OP I agree with you, it’s like would he be an idiot if he gained $2k on that move? No. It’s his money. He has a house and money to take care of Holly and he works hard. It’s not like he’s some loser with nothing making an irresponsible decision. Sometimes you win sometimes you lose with crypto and stocks. It’s part of it.
