Has ANYONE got their parents on board the Bitcoin train?

I showed the weusecoins.com promo video to my mom. It presents the concept of bitcoins in an easy to understand manner. She likes the idea and supports me upgrading my system a bit so I can mine on the side.

 Also planning to have an online BTC-friendly store, and a site to spread bitcoin awareness. 

How i wish that your mom is like my own mother.  Yours is very open minded with the idea of bitcoin and my mom is not. When i introduced him bitcoin,  i gave him a video and an article about bitcoin, she didn't understand and the  the only thing she said is that bitcoin is only a virtual play money and a scam one. It gives me a big sigh.

Just curious.

It would say a lot about the future of Bitcoin if Baby Boomers could understand enough to use/get the hang of using Bitcoin.

I have told my mom about it and got confused,she had a lot of questions and told her what i have learned in the crypto world.She wants to make profit but been very busy for the monent and just set aside everything i say.She has less knowledge in computers but i know shell come out to decide in investing when the right time comes.I was just a bit happy for having an open minded mom.

My parents have always dismissed Bitcoin and don't quite understand how you exchange it from Bitcoin into 'real' money even though I have explained several times in the past. I don't quite understand how they refer to it as toy money and "it doesn't exist".

Both my parents are conservative when it comes to money, rather than investing, they would rather save theirs in the bank, but this season, i showed my mom, how much is my bitcoin worth and i withdraw some money in the bank and showed her that bitcoin does have value and that it is a real currency. I think showing them that bitcoin has value in fiat by withdrawing ,rather than jusy pointing it out to them tellin that the price of bitcoin is high, is much more effective in convincing them that bitcoin is not a scam and it has more value than what they hear on the news, which are all negative.

My smart grandma once told me "Why aren't we in BTC mining yet? Let's start immediately!"

My mom was curious to understand BitCoin! So, I tabbed a few easy to understand sites explaining it...She didn't get it!
She also doesn't understand how to use multiple HDD, one for system only, and one for the useless BS she downloads, then opens without a scan!

I tried to introduce bitcoin to my parents but after explaining it to them I think they still confused and show no interest after all. Bitcoin is great, but I think not all people can fully understand its technology specially some of adult parents.

I've talked about Bitcoin to my dad, but I don't really think that he's planning to make an investment with it any time soon.
If he decided he wanted to buy some, I would definitely help him set up a safe paper wallet so he can just let it increase in value over time without having to worry about it.

With all the recent news, I have noticed that he's asked me about Bitcoin several times now.

I did try back in June to get my dad to invest with me, he didn’t but he is certainly aware of bitcoin now from all the media
