A couple of years ago I convinced my mum (the Great Grandmother in our family. She’s now 75.) I convinced her that Bitcoin was a good idea however old you are. I advised her to spend on bitcoin what she would normally fritter away on her amazon delivery addiction. I got her set up on an exchange and she started saving. Within 12 months she’d put in around 2k. She then lost her password, then her email account and then dropped her phone in the toilet. All these things meant she was locked out for a while. A few days ago, almost 12 months after being locked out of her account I managed to get her access to the bitcoin and everything sorted. Anyway, the new outlook she has for life and the smile on her face now that she has well over 7k to play with makes me happy. She’s now booking a holiday and making other plans that were not feasible 12 months ago. She’s also started buying more bitcoin. £25 a week. She possibly won’t be around to see bitcoin take over the world but it’s already made a big difference to hers. And being locked out of her exchange account has prompted her to get a cold storage device. 75! Go on mum! 😎
