Use this 4 step process to avoid DeFi conversations this holiday season:
1. Express Empathy
It is crucial to start here. Even though you aren't interested in the conversation, start by acknowledging their passion for the subject.
“Oh wow. I can tell you’ve invested a ton of time in this subject. I admire that commitment.”

2. Redirect With a Question
Once you've shown them you are on their side. You are in a prime position to change the focus of the conversation with a question.
“What other passion projects have you been working on?”

3. Be Curious, Not Critical

4. Respectfully Disengage

Choose your words carefully and find a reason to bring someone else into the conversation before walking away.
