My dad gets that I'm on to something, because he's seen me make seemingly crazy moves during the 2008 crisis, dumping cash for assets, and he's heard me talk about Bitcoin since it was <$5 in 2011, which was part of that strategy.
He gets inflation too, because he often talks about how most things cost 50x more than when he was young. He's just into bricks and mortar because he understands that.
