 In-law vacation over. Phew.

They asked a couple of bitcoin questions but still are on zero and generally confused about what is money.  
 Are you me?
Just had an uncle tell me he should have bought some, but also he can't invest in anything that would threaten the USD. 🤷 
 Did you ask why USD is good? I took an oath during my naval enlistment and it mentioned nothing of USD or the Federal Reserve.  
 The officers appointed over you say they must protect the USD. That's how they get you. The officers oath just has the constitution bit.  
 Officer oath has USD in it?? 
 I was joking, but it doesn't have the officer appointed over me bit. 
 🤝🫡 
 I suppose because many of his other investments depend on a strong USD.
He is British and I am Canadian so there is definitely no oath to USD in this conversation. 
 It takes time, they'll come around. 
 Lol. They're tradfi advisors. It's going to be a long time.  
 Bless their hearts 🤣
