We talked about bitcoin today on the phone. She asked me if she gave me 30 dollars if I could invest it for her. I explained the volility of the coin that we could go from 100 to zero just like that. She still wants to put in 30.
That tells me while we may not be mainstream yet, we are getting there.
Yes it is good to hear the people of that generation are not resistent to any change in the system. I hope there are many more people like your mother who welcome bitcoin with open arms. She wasnt afraid to invest even after considering the volatility of the coin.
