>60 year old Mum asks me what a bitcoin is after seeing it on the news >Try to explain it to her as simply as I can but it just isn't registering properly >She rustles around in her coin purse >"can you invest 15$ for me anon" >Hands me a bunch of fucking coins >Gently try to explain it isn't that simple and takes time and some research >She looks defeated, instantly feel bad >Just take the money and say I'll see what I can do Don't know what im putting it in yet lol Are normies finally catching on to crypto fully? What ramifications would there be, easy pickings with uninformed buyers or would everything just tank?

Just make her an account and put the 15 dollars into BTC like she asked, then anything that happens to the money is entirely on her. Just give her regular updates on how it's doing by showing her the wallet and her graph. Even the most tech illiterate person can understand a graph and numbers going up and down.

>>26123818 My boomer mom though she had 1/4 bitcoin on the jewelery safe and wanted me to sell it for her. (I'd given my brother some btc a few years ago that's what she was thinking about). She then asked me if she should buy some. I advised against it.

>>26123818 Invest it for her, if it goes down and she asks about it just lie and say she's break even and if she wants her initial back, just give her $15 even if it's out of your own pocket. She's your mom and she sounds pretty based and it's just $15, so don't be a cunt about it..

If you can't explain what bitcoin is ypou probably don't understand it yourself. Maybe try reading a book or two or at least the white paper instead of basing your knowledge off memes and tai lopez videos.

>>26124480 I used to feel sorry for my gf and her mum when she was younger, I used to think she was poor and they struggled. I remember one year she had no money for Christmas presents for her and her brothers. I have grown up and spent enough time around her to now know why they seemed poorer back then (jobs are the same). It makes me really angry now knowing how she is with money and me being the financial autist I am now how fucking irresponsible she was back then and still fucking is.
