hehe not bad
I even explained Bitcoin to my Grandmother
and she was very interested about.
She even called me one morning when TV was showing Charlie S.
She told me - "Do you know that some important man for a Bitcoin bank was arrested?"
"I told her, yeah I know - do not worry, just another issue that will be soon solved"
My grandma is 81.

Did she let you use her bank account to hook up to Coinbase?
sig spam anywhere and self-moderated threads on the pol&soc board are for losers.

Here's a funny way of explaining an older person what Bitcoin does -
NOT RECOMMENDED BTW
, let people make their own decisions!
Mom, let's spend $10K now and get
BTC
22.22222222222222 @ $450 each.
Wait till the end of the year, then pay off our mortgage

You could be right, but somehow I have a feeling that the price will stabilize and start rising before the 15th.
Dunno why....

Hell know my friend. Everything can happen.
Nobody knows. One is sure - bitcoin is here to stay with us even if the price will be 1$.
