After a year of talking about it I managed to get my father to invest in #Bitcoin. He lives in #Lebanon, where hyperinflation has destroyed the purchasing power of the Lebanese Pound by 99%.

That in itself was an achievement given his traditional banking career and background. It felt good converting some of his political currency into the hardest #money in existence.

He understood the store of value aspect of Bitcoin and appreciated it as an investment asset. He pretty much viewed it as a new and improved version of gold and not really as a medium of exchange.

Until yesterday...

I asked him to download and log into the @walletofsatoshi application. After that, I called him and asked him to share his public lightning address. While I was explaining what lightning was I went ahead and sent him some sats. He was shocked that I was able to send him money instantaneously across the globe without a bank at almost no cost.

He might need a bit more convincing though.

How cool would it be if he randomly started receiving sats?

#Bitcoin community let's blow his mind!
