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?
That is cool for your dad to invest in bitcoin at an old age. My dad turned 70 this year and he isn't interested in bitcoins at all, which is fine I guess. Even though he was an engineer he is struggling with all the new technology, he doesn't do any online banking, uses his smartphone only for calling and writing messages and is not really interested in anything new. Kind of sad to see him living in the old world without much interested. With my mother it's very similar, she uses her smart phone more actively, but isn't really interested in anything related to money. That is why I can't convince them to invest in bitcoins. The only elderly person that is interested is my uncle, but he is turning 81 this year and already gave away most of his money and assets to his children, he doesn't have much money left to invest.
