Oddbean new post about login | logout I see a lot of hand-wringing in Bitcoin about "my mom can't use this" and not enough "let's teach our kids to use this" If you think your mom is the future of Bitcoin you might not understand how the future works. 🫠
Any motivated person who meets Bitcoin as a solution to a problem their experiencing will find the best way they can leverage its properties. That's why Bitcoin is so successful & will continue to be - in fiat it's mo money mo problems - for us it's, more people more solutions.
In marketing, the formula for brand development is to market to the18 to 25-year-olds unless you want to be in the nursing home business.
But the 18-25 years olds are broke these days.
It doesn't matter, they will outlive all the older clients and eventually *will* have money as they enter their prime years. The only reason to market to seniors is unless you are specifically catering to that age group.
I think what they mean is their mum won't (not can't) use it, likely because they don't understand the need. I taught my dad the need, then I taught him how to use it. My mum is more conservative and didn't listen to me at first, but now after seeing my dad's corn almost 10x and three price of everything going through the roof, she's starting to come around.
Mom won't give them money to buy bitcoin 8)
