My dad is 79 yo. He's a retired carpenter but has always been interested in technology, electronics and related stuff. Back in the 90s, when I was just kid, he bought me a computer because he knew that's where the world was headed and we learned to use it together. During the years, I developed my passion in computing and programming and I always taught him to use all the tools needed to be a good user (he even uses things like password managers and multi-factor authentication tools).
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?
Op wtriy is very weak and I smell something fishy but he may not understand for now. Whatsoever he might had taught his dad is good but he needed to make the whole process simple and very plain since is day is a old papa. I would not even bother to teach someone of that age because I know that age is closed to heaven so why would I teach and mkes you hold Bitcoin which you would finally hide your phrase and when he died no one will know how to retrieve the money in the Wallet. Ai can always tecah him for the fun but to for him to hold Bitcoin at that age.
