“My 2c” is an arrogant preface pretending to be a humble one. You really think your thoughts are generally acceptable dollar-denominated assets? To see this more clearly try saying “my 0.3 μg of gold”(worth about $0.02 today) Cryptohumble: “My 2 personal shitcoins”

This explains why I find the phrase irritating. It’s generally used by people with a high opinion of themselves that they just assume you share. They think they’re being self-deprecating but aren’t really. Sincere and credible self-deprecation sounds different.
