Bitcoin Forum

Both my parents and my brother wired me some money to buy coins for them  :)
Triggered mostly by the massive media coverage in the German speaking area in the last few days.

I had to do a lot of explaining and especially my parents would never have been able to set up and back up their wallet (they don't really speak english). So think about what will happend when it will be really easy for Joe Everybody to buy coins.. Holy shiiit..

For my brother it was easier to educate himself after I pointed him toward the "Bitcoin 101 Blackboard" series on Youtube. Btw: I really ecourage you to show them to anybody that is interested in BTC. De Angelo does a great job explaining the BTC ecosystem.

People at work start asking about BTC more often too because they know I own some.

Hold tight, we are in for a ride!  ;D ;D

Sure, a lot of people will be interested in bitcoin once they take time to check it out and see the 10,000% ROI its given speculators over the past few years. Are these people interested in bitcoin? Probably not the protocol itself, but the opportunity to get rich quick. Still, that means there could be a lot of upside left to go in this bubble.

thats really cool, but too bad they had to wire you money to buy bitcoin.

sure, thats interesting for them. why wouldn't it be. but they see and understand the value and possible future of BTC as well (taking over / partially taking over CC's, WU, Gold..).

that's cool.. i don't think anyone in my family would be interested in BTC, much less understand what it's even about. i tried explaining it to a few members and they said it was too risky.

same with me, both my parents do not speak english.
they both got into Bitcoin at 330$, i buy the coins for them and make sure they are well protected.
they got alot of Bitcoin.

so everyone in my family have Bitcoin now, and Friends
its so convenient because now i can sent my friends,family BTC instead of cash.
 

Gratz that you whole family is in BTC.   ;)

Live by the BTC, die by the BTC  ;) :D
