When I was little, we'd sometimes take the long drive to go visit my dad's parents.

My grandma had severe arthritis in her knees so she had a wheelchair with a joystick to get around.

Whenever we would arrive, she would be in the hallway, smiling brightly. She had really long white hair in a scrunchie, (most grandmas at the time had short hair)

She was soft spoken, and would bring us over to tall thin chest of drawers, and then cracked open one of the drawers, and pull out some money for my brother and I. We always got one each.

She passed away when I was 10, and when I turned 17, I went on a missions trip to Mongolia. I realized that I still had some of that cash I had recieved from her, and used it to pay for the trip.

Before she got married, my grandma had been an evangelist (they called it) as back in her time, only men could be preachers.

She had wanted a daughter, but was blessed with 3 sons, I'm sure she was rayer, as each of them had a son each. Then eventually I came around, a granddaughter.

I am the fulfillment of generational prayers, and by being a naturally frugal person, my grandmother was in part able to help send me to the nations, 7 years past her death.

I've often thought about the last part of this story, how she prayed me in and how I used her financial gifts, but today I was remembering more of the action of her giving. How fragile she looked, but how strong she was inside! How I forever will have the memory of pulling money out of that chest of drawers, as it was a bit unusual. Most people kept their money in a wallet. But it added to the scene.

Our grandkids won't know what it feels like to get paper money, as I'm sure everyone here would want to give their grandkids the best they have, which is bitcoin. But we can do so in a special way, in a special place. My grandma's fiat money helped pay for a fraction of my trip, what we give our grandkids might buy them an entire house when they're adults.

Bitcoin means generational wealth.

Kind and generous grandparents will be able to bless their descendants now more than ever before.
