 Had a friend finally ask the other day. Others taking notice.

Just glad mom listened to me a few years ago. 
 Glad your mom listened!
I orange pilled my aunt last Thanksgiving. She was trying to buy and all that. But her son, who is surprisingly knowlegable about bitcoin but unbelievably penny pinching, forced her not to go through with. She would have 2.5-3x her money. She wanted to drop $50-100k at 35k btc... 
 Woah! That's too bad. 

If understood Bitcoin though he'd be Sat pinching. 

I say this about my Dad all the time. He says he gets it, but if he did he wouldn't have sold his initial purchase. He bought 1k in 2018 like I told him, too and sold about a year later at a loss... 
 At a loss... fuuuuuuuuuk
Yeah that's the thing, my cousin is super smart. He mostly understands bitcoin but his info is from like 2016 and he's got a bias in his head from that. Still thinks bitcoin transactions are slow and used for buying drugs... smh.
