My Mom Wants To Buy Ethereum

Yup, the title says it all. Unprovoked. I don't discuss crypto at all. Today she asked me about investing in ETH. As always I told her that if she had money she was willing to burn, it's one place to put it, but to imagine it as burned.

I think that the most important part of this is the fact that more and more people are finding out about it(I realized she somehow got into a group shilling shitcoins on messenger or some other app, but I'm not gonna let my mom buy those haha). General crypto adoption is going up, and as more and more people buy them, more and more acceptance of it is going to happen.

I really want crypto to be accepted as currencies to spend on general stuff. I go to starbucks and spend a few HBD to buy my coffee. That's what I'd much prefer over just store of value. While store of value is great, the original goal of Bitcoin was to be spent. And while there are currently a few places you can spend crypto(the cool guy at preevy, aka privex, lets us rent servers with Hive and some more crypto) we really need a lot more places taking it without a conversion needing to take place. And the receiving party shouldn't be selling immediately, just holding them(stable coins are great at this).

But will my mom buy ETH? We'll find out soon enough. Last week my cousin got into shitcoins, this week will my mom get into real coins?
