Talking to parents about #Bitcoin often feels like trying to explain the internet in the 90s. They see risk, scams, and volatility—because that’s what legacy media tells them.
But explaining #decentralization, #soundmoney, or the power of financial sovereignty often hits a wall of decades-old trust in banks and governments. It’s not their fault—they grew up in a world where the system ‘worked’ for most people.
The challenge isn’t just explaining Bitcoin; it’s unlearning the myths of a dying system.
Patience, persistence, and relatable examples are key, even if it feels like an uphill battle.
