Like I mean literally, or do you just say I travel and work remotely, or do you just prefer to present yourself as a tourist and don’t talk about the work part?

I’ll say I’m a software engineer working in web3. And then they’ll ask what is that, and I’ll say blockchain/crypto. Then I’ll say because crypto is a global software system, I work with people from all over the world and can work from anywhere. Then the conversation usually goes into something like “Ohhh, like Bitcoin? I had a friend that invested in some” or “Oh I own some Bitcoin”, or “Oh tell me about that, ive heard of blockchain, what is that exactly?”, and I’ll proceed to talk about Ethereum from a systems, solution-oriented perspective on solving real world problems, and it tends to go pretty well with anyone. Or, they’re completely not interested at all, which also isn’t ever an issue.
I never say I’m a digital nomad.
Also, if I get a sense that the person asking is shady, I won’t bring up my position and instead just say I’m visiting friends here, as I don’t want to be looked at as “this person has money”.
Never tell anyone you work in crypto unless you want their eyes to light up with dollar signs
Its a shame, but it’s true. There is tech crypto and money crypto, and more often the majority of people are in it for the money side.
How many times have you had that conversation? I’m tired of saying it already and I don’t work in crypto
