Today I visited my dad. He's 74, old school, and doesn't like that I work remotely for a company that pays with Bitcoin (he thinks I should get a real job). 😅
He had the TV news on in the background and there were multiple scenes of money printing flashing across the screen. I mentioned Bitcoin and he tells me my step mum buys Bitcoin. My eyes lit up (I was extremely surprised and didn't expect it at all). 🤩
She's Russian and apparently has been sending bitcoin to her family in Russia for a long time (her parents who must be at least in their 70s or 80s). She had only been using it as a way to send money - until now. I started talking to her about some of the reasons I like Bitcoin. I saw her eyes light up. I think she understood. Hopefully she is going to start stacking too. 🤞🧡
Anyway. I feel like that was an achievement. I could feel the tense energy of my dad as I'm telling his wife all about bitcoin. As much as he was trying to ignore what I was saying, I'm about 85% sure a lot of what I said made sense to him - he's pretty smart. Maybe, just maybe, he will also start looking into bitcoin. 🤞
