This is a woman who has almost no interest in technology and certainly none involving blockchain, yet here she is inquiring about crypto. And no just any old token but Dogecoin?? I knew something was up, because she'd sooner ask if Aliens have finally landed before cryptocurrency. My response was similar to a parent hearing a young child using the word "orgasm" in a sentence and wondering where in the hell did she hear that from. Kinda reminds me of reading about shoeshine boys giving stock tips during the great depression.

I don't know about you, but this tells me that slivers of crypto-knowledge is beginning to seep into the brain stems of the masses. I'm hearing more and more chatter about it almost everywhere I go. It's gotta be driven by the news of bitcoin setting an ATH. So this stuff tends to percolate down to the muggles who may have heard a snatch of conversation about it, in-between Pinterest sessions.

Now I know what you're thinkng: "What a great opportunity to get her on Hive or LeoFinance," right? WRONG! I'm already the unpaid family tech support, and my head would explode if I had to lead her through the blockchain gang. So no, there won't be any "mom" blogger accounts, which would have ended up being written by me anyway. God knows I barely have time to get my own posts out a few times a week. But I do like what this says about crypto adoption by the masses.

The crypto touch

I call this "The Musk Effect." If that guy tweets about tactical underpants, the price goes up. Plus I think my mom has the hots for him anyway. Now if he really wanted to do something worthwhile, I can think of a couple of our favorite tokens that he can start tweeting about... But I really think this increased awareness is the first signal that cryptocurrency is here to stay. It will no longer be hidden away by portly guys in a dank basement, clutching a ham and cheese sandwich while squinting at tiny screens. Crypto will be held by Musk-lovin mamas, shopping the hell out of Pinterest!
