Excellent question and a tough one. Thank you.

I suppose the most surprising was how much my wife as embraced it. She's very far from you usual "bitcoiner type", very frugal and conservative when it comes to money matters.
When I discovered Bitcoin, I sat down and explained to her what I see in it, and that I'd give it a real go with a limited portion of money.

My first surprise was that she wasn't vehemently against it.
The second surprise when, about a half year of stacking in, she asked if she can have some in her own custody too, to learn it.
Since then, she's been getting used to it, spending freely (and replacing ore than spent obv), and just embracing it.

Now, a few years later, when she hears the price has tanked she says she wishes we would have spare fiat to buy more. xD
