The article discusses the stark contrast between the perception of the cryptocurrency industry within the crypto community and that of the general public. While crypto OGs are excited about Bitcoin reaching $100,000 and Donald Trump selling DOGE T-shirts, non-crypto friends are more interested in a low-level celebrity's memecoin called Hawk Tuah. The launch of Hawk Tuah was initially successful but quickly crashed, leading to questions about its legitimacy and potential legal consequences. Many of the author's friends view cryptocurrencies skeptically and see Hawk Tuah as a reinforcement of their negative beliefs. Only one friend mentioned Bitcoin without prompting, while another expressed interest in Litecoin. This highlights the diverging viewpoints and lack of mainstream adoption of cryptocurrencies among the general public.
