 So, don’t do this…

In 2021 I got my mom to buy $1,000 of USDC and transfer it to Celsius for the “yield”.  She understood the concept of USDC but was unwilling to buy Bitcoin.  

Then Celsius went into chapter 11 bankruptcy and I felt and still feel like a total fool. 🤦🏻‍♂️ Fkn idiot! 

Ironically, mom got $800 of #Bitcoin back in the bankruptcy settlement at the $42k price and she is now has $1100 of #Bitcoin  

indirectly I got my mom into #Bitcoin, but I’m an idiot for life

 Oh shit. That’s my biggest fear. I got my father in law to pop for $2000 at the highest point in the last bull market. He still has his sats on Coinbase and he asks me from time to time when Bitcoin is going to go to the moon. 

The problem now is I feel / they make me feel responsible for the price. The problem is they still don’t get BTC if they are so focused on their monitory return.  

I can lead people to water but I can’t make them drink.
