My mom is visiting, and she was on a video call with her siblings earlier today. The subject of the possibility of the dollar's collapse came up, and my mom was like, "Hey, let me get my son on this call. He knows a lot about this subject."

She called me over, and I sat next to her on the call with some of my aunts and uncles. I answered their questions (one of my aunts is understandably concerned for the dollars she has in a savings account), and gave them my opinions. At first, they didn't know the difference between a CBDC, Bitcoin, and crypto. I cleared that up for them, and explained all the benefits of #Bitcoin, but they immediately began saying that they were going to buy all the gold and silver they could. Everything I tried to say after that fell in deaf ears.

It felt like I was on the Titanic, explaining the difference between the iceberg, paper boats, and actual life boats. And despite all that, the people I was speaking to decided to start looking for broken doors they could float on, when there were still plenty of available seats on the lifeboats. My mom said that she's too "old fashioned" to feel comfortable with Bitcoin yet, but that she's still learning more from me all the time. But her siblings still have a 𝙡𝙤𝙣𝙜 way to go. 😞
