Gary, Chief Acquisition Officer

“Well, I’m a Taurus. Which is a Venus-ruled sign. Venus is love. True love is knowing your Bitcoin will rebound. No matter how bleak it may look. My Bitcoin will never betray me.” Bitcoin is coming out the gate hard! He’s getting right swiped all day every day. Welcome to the steamy world of Crypto Dating. Crypto Dating, as it’s known, simply refers to going out with someone who’s really into Bitcoin. Crypto dating has taken off and become a popular phenomenon in record time, partly due to the recent boom in cryptocurrency values.

In Julia Glum’s article, Welcome to Love In The Age Of Cryptocurrency for Money.com, crypto is increasingly playing a role in romantic relationships, seeping into people’s DMs, dates, and even divorces. Mentions of cryptocurrency are nearly three times more popular on OkCupid dating profiles now than they were last year. Tinder has seen a sixfold increase since August 2020, with a spokesperson telling Money it’s “typically presented in bios as a funny flex, “I may look dumb, but I’m investing into crypto, so I think that makes up for it.”

Erin Edwards answered the phone at the D Hotel & Casino, Las Vegas in 2014 and heard a deep voice on the line. He wanted to know if her workplace would host a Bitcoin meetup. “I was like, “Sure! Hang on a second,” and I Googled “Bitcoin for dummies,” she says. The deep voice turned out to be Kingsley. They met to work out the logistics. Sparks flew. They started hosting Bitcoin meetups as a couple, moved in together, and attended crypto conferences around the world.

They got married in 2020 in Arizona. Their wedding hashtag #tohaveandtoHODL, “to have and to hold” tweaked into a crypto slang term meaning “Hold on for dear life.”

Tatiana Moroz, a musician and crypto personality, co-hosts a podcast called Proof Of Love. Tatiana says it’s a tricky playing field and not a homogeneous one. While the majority of the people in the crypto community are genuine, some are attempting to navigate sudden windfalls or seeking sugar daddies. A few are scammers. Others won’t shut up about it.

“The guys are almost a bit boring because it’s all they can talk about,” Moroz says. “Do you want to talk about cryptocurrency 24/7 for ten years? No.”

There’s a fine line between sharing fun facts and crypto-mancing, which dating coach Damona Hoffman defines as “the art of showing romantic interest in someone through crypto talk.”

“You’re on a first date. You’re not at a Bitcoin seminar,” adds Sameera Sullivan, the CEO, and founder of matchmaking service in New York.
