I too convinced my father to make his first BTC buy, $1000. He called me gitty the next day to let me know his BTC has already outperformed his CD, 8% in one night! I quickly reminded him to prepare for volitility in both directions. 1 day later BTC dumped from 29K to 25K. Welcome to my world Dad. 🙃
My husband basically orange-pilled his extended family this week while on vacation at the Red Sea.
They went from barely knowing what a bitcoin is to wanting to allocate a nontrivial amount of their savings to it. I was more of the conservative one because I don’t want to cause people to allocate beyond their level of understanding.
I have a much lower charisma score than him, so I just kind of watched it happen, and then pulled out a nostr:npub1az9xj85cmxv8e9j9y80lvqp97crsqdu2fpu3srwthd99qfu9qsgstam8y8 satscard and explained how it works for some physical flair.
They like the orange coin now. Having your national currency get cut in half relative the dollar in 2016, and then having it happen again in 2022, tends to make one more receptive to monetary alternatives.
