My dad ran a diner for 35+ years, and my mom spent 30+ years working an administrative job at a hospital. I grew up middle class, a child of Greek immigrants. My dad retired 2015, my mom 2019.

In 2013, I gave my mom some Bitcoin for money that I owed her. She said she'd hold. I made sure she would by keeping custody of it. πŸ˜‚

They started DCAing small amounts of BTC in 2016 and never stopped. I have years worth of texts from my mom proudly proclaiming she bought the dip!

The few sats they managed to save outperformed my mom's 401k by miles. Now they live where they always wanted to, and just built an extension on their modest home. They wanted more room for when their grandkids visit. 🧑

It couldn't have happened without Bitcoin.

It feels good to know I was there for the people who took care of me.

Yesterday my own immigrant parents thanked my husband and me on not giving up on them. Bitcoin was the greatest gift I could ever give them without it feeling like their own child was supporting them.

I hope 10 years from now it’s helped them as much as it has helped your parents. πŸ’œ
