I'm the oldest, adult brother of 5 children. Dad and I first started throwing our money into bitcoin at the end of October and ever since, crypto has been all we've talked about. Mom doesn't completely get it but he's never steered the family wrong, so she trusts him. The kids who, with the exception of the oldest, high-schooler sister, are 12 and under.
I bought the little kids a copy of xcom for xbox (they loved making and controlling themselves in my game) but I didn't think it was enough. The parents pretty much bought them everything they wanted and the some this year. So with that, I decided to give them 20 bucks in bitcoin with the option to cash out at anytime, because I'm on the edge of breaking the number one rule of bitcoin and have some to spare. My only concern was that they wouldn't care and rather have $20 of boring old fiat. So on Christmas morning, I gave them the option between the two.
My little brother, immediately cashed out his $20 dolla rs on an xbox game he wanted. Disappointed, but sorta expected it. The oldest sister took a second to decide, but eventually decided the mall was more important. No surprise there. But the two youngest girls picked the bitcoin, I was so proud. Now they are hodling .001325 each.
The next day, I told the youngest that her $20 from is already about $22.60. My little brother over heard this while playing his game and asked me if he could have the bitcoin instead. I told him it was too late, I already bought the game from xbox live. So he leaves and comes back with $19 from his wallet to "invest in bitcoin". Definitely feeling the FOMO. I hope they're all able to buy, if not Lamborghini or Teslas, a nice used car when they get their licenses.
Happy Hodl-days everybody!
