It's moronic to vent about parents on 4chan, but old boomers seem to have the most narrow minded view of the world I've ever seen. Unironically seeing the lack of market knowledge someone rich and old had was a massive buy signal to me.

Don't blame him too much anon. Remember that this exponential technology growth that occurred from the 90s to now is somewhat of a culture shock to them. Things are happening faster than he can probably react to them, and only people that were born in the generation of the information era really know what the fuck is going on around them. Imagine if you were to show electricity to someone from the medieval ages, they literally wouldnt know what to think about it, and would likely get angry or scared from not knowing what it was. If you want to be kind, buy some crypto for him and hold onto it yourself, then as you get the opportunity, teach him a little more about crypto, like wallets, the technology, etc. Then surprise him by showing him you bought some for him to play with.

>can't explain what crypto and blockchain is to a boomer. Only tell him that cryptocurrencies are rewards obtained in exchange of computing power, it's value is obtained with the level of power. The same is "real money", its a reward obtained with human working power, and its value determined by humans. Some day energy will be the currency, Cryptocurrencies are only one step in the evolution of man, but it's better to always be up to date.

>>26067205 I shilled part of my family into LINK at low prices (including my mom) and this actually prompted them to find more about the crypto space and get tech savvier in the process (setting up wallets, linking Coinbase to their bank accounts, installing and modifying different apps on their phones etc) and they are all very happy. The one dude that I couldn't get into crypto was my dad. My dad has never been the investor type, and he definitely didn't think crypto was worth anything. I shilled him one last time when he got a small inheritance (like $30k) 2 years ago and advised him to put at least $1k in Chainlink. He refused, which is ok. He bought a new kitchen and had the yard completely reworked, which is his passion anyway. It made him very happy. Every now and then he asks me about the price of Chainlink and is happy for me when I tell him. Some people are just content where they are I guess. When I make it I will buy off his mortgage and let him live in the house for free.

That's the thing though, at their age it would indeed be a severely irresponsible and dumb thing to do. As long as you're <35 and without children you can take big risks, potentially lose it all and still claw your way back up again. At a certain age that becomes almost impossible.

>>26068252 Pretty soft boi behaviour. I'd nearly been killed in Tajikistan trying to buy hash on a roadtrip over summer and people were asking me about it at a college party. We were in a few semesters and I started talking to the girl about it, drinking a few beers in this little shed. Kind of got the vibe that she had been abused or something, but was really smart. Just sort of an instinct. She sent me a text the next morning saying she'd like to see me, we date, go back and forth for a few months (I'm functionally homeless living in a building site with a fat gay builder who keeps hitting on me) and then she leaves for America. I date one of her friends for a bit, and when she gets back, it's on ice. Go back and forth again and she tells me she got raped. At this point, she would kind of trip in and out of conversations and when we'd sleep together, she'd have night terrorrs. So I just give her a hug and tell her we should be friends. It was clear - too - that she was in love with someone she'd met abroad. Women are a little nuts though - I started dating my roomate a few weeks later and when she found out, she was devestated, literally crying all over the floor. She's gone back to America now and texts me occasionally. I think she feels a bit guilty, but, desu, I'm just glad I got to fuck a model for a while and wasn't a chad about it.

>>26066745 not really anon, seems like your dad just doesn't respect you and lacks humility. i persuaded my dad to buy in about 8 years ago. he later owed me money for something and, when btc was at a lowpoint, decided to offload it on me as a repayment. i never sold. even with the current price action he's happy for me, and admits, laughing, that he was wrong. he sees my success as something he's proud to witness. i imagine he's also somewhat relieved as my path has been rather unconventional. regardless: the older i get, the more i realise how i lucked out with my imperfect but pretty fucking amazing parents.

>>26066745 I would NEVER try to get my parents to invest in cryptocurrencies. The risk and tech involved just makes it not worth it. My brother was interested in buying BTC and I told him that if he still thinks it’s a ponzi-scheme or he doesn’t understand the tech, don’t invest in it. Why buy something you hate and is a scam? Just don’t, go buy something else, or else you end up buying high and selling low. I think it’s good advice for people. Either learn about the asset and why it’s perceived to be worth so much (which involves throwing away literally everything the MSM ha ever told you about bitcoin), or stay the fuck away.
