I would like this post to be a guide and not a question. I think many of us have experienced this situation with our family members, where we tell them about bitcoin and they look at us as if we were speaking a new language or as if we were telling them "jump out of a plane without a parachute." Believe me, I have tried to have this conversation with my parents several times, which is difficult because they are chatting via text and not in person, so when they get bored or are not interested in continuing to talk, they just leave me on read or change the topic of conversation. Has anyone else dealt with this situation?
I am worried about my parents' future. They don't have any savings for their old age. In the case of my mother, who is the most frugal person I know, she has had to use it because she lives in Venezuela and, well, you already know the situation there. My father, on the other hand, is just another immigrant, dependent on an employer to give him work, and on top of that, his wife and my two younger brothers depend on him.
Their situation is something common that has happened to many (unfortunately), believing that they already have their lives arranged, and suddenly something happens that changes all that, goodbye house, goodbye own company, all because of poor political management of the country, all the savings, all the time of life invested in having something stable only for it to end up in the trash and they have to start from scratch, but this time not at 20 years old but at 50 years old and with the global economy more destroyed than ever.
There is a saying that "an old dog doesn't learn new tricks", but please, my grandmother at 70 years old learned to use WhatsApp and I think other social networks, so they have no excuse not to learn about bitcoin, but they are more stubborn than a goat.
Other times I think, well I'll make a fund for them with my own money so I can ensure something for them, but (I hate "buts") the situation has become a little complicated for me and as much as I want to because I really want to, I end up hitting a wall, so I want to work as a team with the two of them to ensure something for their old age. The proceeds from this publication will go entirely to them.
I only need the small and big detail: that they listen to me and understand what I say to them. When I have made progress with them and they manage to understand me, I will give all the details here, including a guide called: "How to make your parents see reason about bitcoin." It is for this reason that I insist on teaching our children about bitcoin from a young age, from naming the word Bitcoin to how to teach them to guard it, because once they get older the task is more difficult, it has even been difficult for me with my sisters who are under 25 years old, but that is a story for another day. I am the orange sheep of the family.
