My mother, who can barely work with a computer decided to invest into crypto currencies! And she didn't hear from me! I underestimated here and didn't even mention to her that I am on steemit or that I invested in EOS. I thought that she will simply not understand. For me it was quite difficult to comprehend this new language of this crypto world. I was only thinking it will be too hard for her - she doesn't have the basics for understanding.
My mum is 55 and was born in an ex-communist country, so she is part of this generation of simple people that don't speak English or really understand the computers. She is always calling me asking what to do, what button should she press, what is this message that comes from the internet, how do you turn the computer off and so on. It is difficult from a certain age to learn new things. And technology for the parents is quite hard. We got so much used to it, we had a computer in school, we know it, we have it on our blood. What to day about this new kids generation that are born with the smartphone on their fingertips.
Anyway, this a short description of her. She is an amazing hard working woman, but not the geeky style. But I mush have underestimated her :) My sister spent the holidays with her and she explained her a bit about Bitcoin and the other currencies. The explanation for all ages that everybody can understand was that cryptos are just the currencies from the internet, and you just trade them how you are trading for example the EUR with the USD.
I converted my sister 3 months ago, exactly when i joined Steemit! I told her about my new discovery and how promising this Brave New World looks like. My sister was immediately convinced. She didn't join steemit though, but she did her own research on the crypto world.
And because I have converted my sister, now my sister had converted my mum. My dad is still skeptical :) So, the result was that** my mum invested almost 400$!!!!!**! Into TRON and VERGE. I guess she just listened the advices of my sister and my brother in law, because this are not currencies in which I believe. I told her about the Steem and the EOS, but she listened to my big sister. I wasn't there to explain, i am thousand of miles away. But still. The seed was planted.
I wish my mum good luck and may her currencies develop exponentially and that we all get rich and get houses and lands :)) Many, and in different places, not close by :))
Do you have any idea on TRON or VERGE? I just heard about them now, when my mum put her 3 weeks worth of wage into them.
The world is changing!
