So should I steer clear of mentioning Bitcoin during an interview?

I figured I would post this in off topic to get more responses, but it's specifically for interviews for hedge funds or asset management firms.

I've been making a bit of money from crypto currencies. I've been managing a small amount of money for friends, family friends, and family, about $15000, and grew it to about $50000. Is that something that people in the industry would actually find impressive? Or is it probably best left unsaid. I feel like, with how controversial it is, it might make me look kind of bad, but I could be wrong.
