The fact that he is into computer in the early years made him decide whether Bitcoin is a good thing to invest with or not. Back in the 90's, it's the stock market that's existing if you want to get some assets. Of course this disregards the precious metals that you can be bought. No other crypto market at that time.

Convincing my parents to invest into Bitcoin might be impossible for me. They don't have any background when it comes to investing in general. They have an "employee" mindset, and didn't try investing at all. I'm not telling them to invest though and will not convince them, but if I will say it to them, they might be skeptical when they heard it or find it confusing for them to learn knowing that they are seniors already.
