That article — “Bitcoin, Beach Bummers, and the Battle of South Beach” — feels like one of those classic expectation vs. reality episodes. The guys went to South Beach during Spring Break thinking they’d find a bunch of young, cool people full of hot takes on Bitcoin… and what did they get? Middle-aged dudes smoking cigars and retirees soaking up the sun. 😂

You can kinda see their logic: “Let’s ride the youthful Spring Break vibe and talk crypto, it’s gonna be a hit!” Yeah… not quite. First, insane traffic, then a fight over a parking spot (classic Miami), and when they finally start approaching people… no one wants to talk Bitcoin. Some didn’t even know what it was, others couldn’t care less, and a few were even trashing it.

Which brings up the question: are crypto marketers living in a bubble? Like, they really think everyone is into blockchain, decentralization, Web3… but let’s be real — most people are still trying to figure out how to use instant payments. 🤷‍♂️

And don’t even get me started on the timing. I mean, they went to a beach, on a holiday, expecting people to stop and have a chat about investing? Come on. If I’m on vacation sipping a coconut water, the last thing I wanna talk about is Bitcoin volatility. 😅
