First of all, My dad asked me to invest some of his money into crypto, as I know a bit about it and I’m doing relatively well. He knows nothing about crypto, but trusts me and acknowledges the volatility. I, in no way, persuaded him to invest in crypto. Having said that, here’s what happened;
I downloaded a portfolio app on his phone so that he can track the crypto I bought and also so he keeps up with what I’m doing with his money. Naturally, I keep plenty of funds in a stablecoin (in this case usdt) so that I can buy potential dips. One afternoon I kept getting calls from him on my workphone (he never calls me on my workphone). Flustered, I picked up the phone during an important meeting, fearing something bad had happened. When I picked up he said the most boomer thing I ever heard him say ‘Hey, I have been tracking this coin usdt you bought, and it is not doing much, it’s not fluctuating at all, but I’m really, really expecting a rise soon, what do you think?!’
I found it absolutely adorable and dumb at the same time. I explained everything to him and we had a good laugh about it.
Anyway, I just wanted to share this giggle I had. Hope it also brings you some joy in these trying times.
