Someone has to be that volatility shield for family. I do the same for my mother-in-law albeit on a much lower level and not to drive her retirement. It feels good to be able to protect and support others. Even better when you can show them that hard work hodling pays off.
We had a talk about this recently. Since she lives with us I handle her housing and food situation. She doesn’t need nor want much. She says the money is just good peace of mind and she’d like to pass it onto the kids/grandkids when she dies.

I grew up middle class, a child of Greek immigrants. My dad retired 2015, my mom 2019.\n\nIn 2013, I gave my mom some Bitcoin for money that I owed her. She said she'd hold. I made sure she would by keeping custody of it. 😂\n\nThey started DCAing small amounts of BTC in 2016 and never stopped. I have years worth of texts from my mom proudly proclaiming she bought the dip!\n\nThe few sats they managed to save outperformed my mom's 401k by miles. Now they live where they always wanted to, and just built an extension on their modest home. They wanted more room for when their grandkids visit. 🧡\n\nIt couldn't have happened without Bitcoin.\n\nIt feels good to know I was there for the people who took care of me. "}
These captured politicians always tip their hands because part of the initiation that lets them walk onto the big stage is virtue signaling their unwavering support of Israel.
These things are easy to see coming once you stop gaslighting yourself.
Thank God for #Bitcoin.
