Well I just woke up (working late shifts this week) and she was already up and about. She fetched me a cup of tea and I told her I'd been up late and showed her a new Electrum wallet I'd created for her with the wallet.dat in her name, containing 1.00996667 BTC. I'd bought 1.01 in case some of it got sucked up by transaction fees.

She seemed quite happy with the GBP equivalent but a face of mild concern about having money in this new thing she doesn't fully grasp  Huh

I said, "See all those extra decimal places? If the price goes up you can use those to buy something nice and still have 1 left.". She said if the price goes up she'd put £300 of it back into her savings, where it came from. I guess she still doesn't see it as a currency in its own right. She's gone out now, she's happy enough and might change her mind about it being a viable currency if/when she gets to use it.



Before she went she let me use a double dildo on her whilst letting me piss in her hair.

^That last bit's to keep Gingermod happy.

its too bad she doesn't understand the true value of the system, but then again most women are pretty closed minded when it comes to learning about new things they didn't already decide upon themselves. i work with three women and they all think I'm crazy for not only investing in bitcoin, but for investing in anything. seems they only see the potential for loss and simply don't accept that any gains are possible in any situation. i hear a lot of "well if that would work don't you think everyone would be doing it already? sounds too good to be true so it defiantly it" and I'm just like ok enjoy your savings as it bleeds out in your heavily fee'd bank account. when its worth half what you put in in 10 years even tho the number claims you've made a return, ill be laughing. you can tell people all the things they need to hear, but if they won't listen it doesn't matter.

A lot of people in general believe the stock market and a casino are one and the same. To be honest, with their limited abilities, this might actually be true for them Tongue
