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.

Well, everyday is a good chance to invest in bitcoin and definitely hold it for long term as its more profitable that way. But I guess only crypto enthusiasts know that, as most of the people Ive shared bitcoin before still end up hesitant with bitcoin. Thats why I want to congratulate you OP for finally seeing your dad now venturing in bitcoin as bitcoin does not matter whether youre young or old as long as you can manage the risks investing in bitcoin. I just hope your dad will chose to be more patient that be aggressive when it comes to bitcoin profiting.
