I’ve never posted before, but I wanted how my parents got orange-pilled.

In 2023, I decided to share my #Bitcoin journey for the last 3 years with my parents. I wanted them to see beyond the price of Bitcoin, but the technology, the philosophy, and the hope Bitcoin represents. My dad, with his background in finance, was unconvinced, especially since Bitcoin had just exiting the harsh 2022 bear market. He dismissed our talks but wished me luck, while my mom was intrigued by what she heard.

Throughout 2023, I kept them informed about significant Bitcoin developments. My dad listened politely, but my mom listened sincerely. In early 2024, my parents stayed at my house for a month, providing the perfect backdrop to re-engage in a deeper conversation. My dad and I debated inflation, the dangerous geopolitics, and the skewed banking system that disproportionally benefits the wealthy, all issues we ended up violently agreeing on. Despite these agreements, he remained skeptical about Bitcoin’s potential to address these issues.

However, my mom, who had been quietly listening to our discussion, heard enough. She decided to become a Wholecoiner and told my dad to buy her a full Bitcoin.

My mom is an extraordinary woman, finding joy in life’s simple pleasures: dancing, hiking, puzzle games on her iPad, and now, the joys of a grandchild. She is neither aware or would understand the complexities of the current geopolitics or the US debt spiral, nor the drivers of sound money and root cause of inflation.

What she understands deeply is the struggle of raising a family on a shoestring budget. She slaved away at a minimum wage job to help supplement the family income (my dad was the primary bread winner). Even though the pay was so little, it still gave the family more peace of mind because of the extra financial security that income provided. My dad’s career in finance finally took off after I left for college, and the increased earnings allowed my parents to finally solidify their financial future. Even though their situation today is far better, the memories still linger strongly.

Today, when she sees the price of a dozen eggs exceed what she once earned in an hour feels like a personal loss to her. The “fruits of her labor” have rotted over time due to inflation. This is why my mom Bitcoins today, to protect her and my dad from the system.

My dad became a Whole Coiner as well shortly thereafter, especially after my mom’s portfolio started to beat his own. A few months later, he became a Bitcoin Maxi. Watching your portfolio increase in value so substantially so quick would have that effect.

@FormerDrJeff When you say this is ending ... do you mean the lower half of income owners will start to see higher wage growth or asset owners losing their shirt or some combination thereof?

@Mith_ Is the first chart right? Copper growth feels tiny vs the demands from data centers and the grid.

Or are all of these demand metrics supply constrained, thus showing smaller actualized values?

[Gnawkz @Gnawkz]

@Bitcoin_Teddy Makes absolutely no sense ... given the Fed is the backstop for banks and the Fed can print it's own money

@OMApproach The urgency generated from Climate Change really mobilized the world to focus on renewable energy, probably the only source of energy that can reasonably survive.

One plausible explanation, the goal was to mass produce products that can be stored past the event.

@Selene_Mariposa Guess everyone now knows why we tip ...

@baltostar @AndreasSteno There is a world where more was leaked out then reported, but still not enough to cover the remaining gap that was not addressed.

@paleochristcon I don't think people understand ... if kids are in short supply today, then the nurse in the future will be charging you a $100K for a single 30 min remote check up once a week.

No one delivering food, no one policing, etc.

That is the future.

[Gnawkz @Gnawkz]

@sminston_with @Bitcoin_Teddy Well ... it did establish an effective error range of +/-90% right?

SO when the report says $1,000,000 ... I took it as between $100K to $1,900K by 2027 :-)

[Gnawkz @Gnawkz]

@zerohedge This will end up being a very sad event for lots of Koreans ... especially for a nation with almost no children.

[Gnawkz @Gnawkz]

@dondrisnas @TheRealPlanC Isn't that the same argument for someone who has exited their entire position and forced to watch it climb higher?

[Gnawkz @Gnawkz]

@TheRealPlanC But the implication here is that there is probably a 70% correction waiting for us in the future ... Guess the story of more muted bear market cycles are not correct.

@Geiger_Capital @cv_investments And it ... would be very funny is R still win 5 districts. LoL
