I didn't know what to get my mom for Christmas.

Then it hit me on the mail trail yesterday afternoon. Recently she mentioned that she wanted to learn more about the cause of inflation. My uncle and I talk about it around her often.

Her mom, my grandma, lives with her. They're both on a fixed income. They're feeling the pinch of inflation at the grocery store and beyond.

My mom and I started buying Bitcoin the summer after my dad passed away in January of '22. His pension went with him. Six months before that my grandpa passed. So things started to look scarce.

I was just getting into Bitcoin. And one thing I learned was that the government could not inflate it away like our dollars. It seemed like a perfect fit for her.

She took to to Bitcoin with ease. By now I have talked to enough people to see roadblocks arise for most people. Big enough to keep them from buying. Every Bitcoiner who I know has went through this. It's new, risky, and volatile. But Bitcoin keeps knocking.

Michael Saylor, who knows a thing or two about Bitcoin, says people later in life tend to only adopt Bitcoin because they are unusually curious or desperate.

Together we fit into both categories.

So I pulled over on the shoulder of the icy town road, clicked on Amazon, and the rest is history.
