You've got to do what you have to bro. If they're not going to listen then it's better for the peace sake, consider anyone over 50 a lost cause since most are banking on riding on the back of Social Security into their grave. Anyone younger than that, use the opportunities you can.

yup, thats how its looking basically. my mother kinda gets it (trusts me) after seeing the rise and fall and new ath over the past four years. her coworkers (nurses) cant believe she even has btc, and ask, 'how to i buy this?' she is onboard 50+ and lower (some in mid20s are on zero and look to her for insight) she directed one such fellow to our city's monthly bitcoin meetup (lets c if he shows) looks like were winning ✓ ^^b. pow woooo. many of the younger generation at the christmas gather were open to listening (females not in particular) but the males, some had 'crypto' some had gifts i am self custodying (until they study a bit and get a cold wallet THEMSELVES) FOR OBVIOUS REASONS. as a wedding gift i granted 1m sats (about @60k usd at the time) now its near 100k usd. it was nice to tell him, this is how btc works, dont sell, hodl. hes like 'i can see that'.

You must’ve been around in the early days, or work in tech man. That’s not pleb money anymore 😅.

not so early (relative i guess) i heard about it in 2015, even read a book by andreas. spoke to some OGs but, as many claim, i didnt have money for it (expensive at 350usd a coin, didnt really know i can buy a fraction) i wait 5 years once i had my life in order. using 4chan/biz i went hard into eth and other shitcoins. i tell ppl, dont make my mistake, figure it out fast

and fren, get a LN address so i can zap u sir

and i dont work in tech, i work in insurance now (funny enough), studied political science/economics/international relations. i became a libertarian in year 2011ish. visited Liberland in 2015 upon its creation, being a presidental assitant to Vit J. (great guy) for 2 weeks took me down this rabbithole, after 5 years of course i started to think, maybe this is something i need to understand myself. thought i missed boat at 2018 ath 20k usd. now i feel were super early still

a big point that i recall that lead to my dismissal of bitcoin as not safe: I didnt know u can put a seed on metal plates. i didnt understand what a seed even was. i was asking early innovators about cold wallets (they didnt describe back ups like seed phrases etc.) i basically understood hard wallets exist, but if destroyed, coins r gone. that was MY mistake in not probing further on my own. very large regret, but i have children instead as my cost of opperunity , and a wife that i remain faithful to, till my dying breath. (she thinks i spam btc too much, so were working in that)

Hey Man, I’m glad you’ve got something that works for you. Insurance is a pretty decent industry to be in. I thank you for your generosity it’s going to be a while before I set up a self-custody channel, so send it to someone you think deserves it.
