I've been trying to get my dad to buy bitcoins since the price was $2. He just called me tonight and said he wants to buy some. Not a good sign.

Just make sure to teach him how the wallet works and have patience with him; last thing you want is for him to lose the coins.

I'm doing it for him. He doesn't even know how to hold a mouse properly.

Soon people will begin to realize this is an even more important reason for L2 development than the blocksize issue.

I remember chuckling when this thread got into the bitcoin opsec rabbithole a few dozen pages back. I mean we were talking about different kinds of concrete to bury your 2 of three seed parts in. Heh.

L2 won't take away our ability to "be our own bank". But it will make ways for people who have no business trying to do that to also use bitcoin.

They gain value...

...and so do we.
