TURKEY DAY — Well it’s Thanksgiving time and a lot people are traveling home to their loved ones. The Rug thought we’d whip up a list of things you can say to distract them from the fact that you adamantly suggested they all purchase crypto at all time highs last year. So here it is:

Top 10 Ways to Gaslight Your Family into Forgetting What You Said About Crypto Last Thanksgiving

10. Feign amnesia, “What’s crypto?”

9. Pivot the conversation to whichever stock they were talking about last year. “Man, shopify got hit bad it’s down 75% this year.”

8. Take the mental health angle and mention that your therapist recommended that you don’t talk about it. “My therapist thinks it’s best for me if I don’t discuss this, you understand.”

7. Blame Elon Musk, SBF, Biden, Trump or even aliens, “It was the lizard people or the bad orange man.”

6. Expose your family’s deep dark secret that nobody’s supposed to acknowledge out loud, “I know we don’t talk about the suicides, but I’d like to hear more.”

5. Be socially conscious, “I read online that this will be the last year for real turkey.”

4. Insist it was your brother who is the guy that can't stop talking about crypto. “Dave is always coming up with the wildest ideas. Oh Dave.”

3. Pitch something new, “Have you guys heard about this time share opportunity?”

2. Explain the difference between CEX and DEX without sounding dirty, "I mean centralized exchange, mom."

1. Consider how it sounds, “I never said "ETH to $10k" I was talking about my friend, Ethan Totenky.”

Well that’s it. Our Top 10 list for navigating the Turkey day dinner table. Stay safe out there, anon.
