Fast forward to early 2020, just before the pandemic, I started to buy BTC and I had always told my dad about this new "digital gold". He was skeptical (he's lived most of his life with FIAT and cash after all) but curious. He thought it was too risky though.
Not sure why, but last week he finally told me he wanted to try it. So we setup his software wallet and he bought 0.01 BTC. Not sure if he'll buy more, but I can certainly say I'm proud of him!
Did you manage to convince your dads or other older people in your family to buy BTC?
Congrats to you and your dad. You convinced your dad to make a purchase. Even if he's skeptical about Bitcoin, he believes in you and cared about your opinion. He probably doesn't have much financial target left for himself, all investment is for children. It's never too late to buy Bitcoin!
Over the years young or old, I told too many people about Bitcoin and got mixed reactions. In the end we shouldn't expect everyone to understand or react well.
