In other news, my 24 year-old cousin who I gave some bitcoin to on a paper wallet for his birthday a while back just emailed me for the first time asking how to claim it.

Congrats 🎊

Feels like winning.

Bro, Go show him the magic of Bitcoin🫡

I told him to call me tomorrow. He’s got homework to do.

It’s gonna be legen~~dary.😎

He admitted he had gotten some Ethereum over the past couple of years, so I’ve got work to do. 😅

I told him to get a bitcoin-only physical device. Showed him Blockstream Jade and Trezor Safe (Bitcoin-Only), and said he should never store BTC and any other asset using the same device.

Congrats! Another pleb is born👏👏

Way to go

Damn paper wallet. Only used these during my initial foray, before I'd understood its Bitcoin, or shitcoin.

106k will do that

Wow, he still has the paper?! Impressive.

I laminated it, put a bitcoin sticker over the private key QR, and gave it to his mom in an envelope, and miraculously it still exists.
