💬Casual Conversation
🎬Tuesday afternoon; Jackson is trying to convince Maya to invest in a new NFT project based on luxury pigments.
Jackson
This carmine-themed collection is gonna blow up. Totally bullish.

Give it a rest, Jackson. You're just chasing ghosts.

Jackson uses 'bullish' (crypto slang for expecting a price increase) and the target word 'carmine' to describe his niche project. Maya responds with the idiom 'give it a rest' (stop doing something annoying) and 'chasing ghosts' (pursuing something unrealistic or non-existent), reflecting her lack of patience for his schemes.
