my mom tells me now that someone tried to get her to buy 10k bitcoins for $20 back in the day and she obviously didn't do it

My parents don't need the money, and they've always thought I was weird because of my obsession with computers.

They will know only what they ask me about crypto, which is nothing, because they don't give a shit.

My uncle fucked me in the ass and mined all my bitcoins.
>>
>>3171128
lmao I'd be looking through all of her hard drives instead of wasting time on /biz/ if I were you
>>
>>3171151
part of me wants to do this, the rest of me thinks there is no way she could have a fortune lying around on some old harddrive.
>>
>>3171128
You know, I found 0.05 bitcoin on a wallet on an old HDD of mine. I got it from an onion site which was giving it away for pressing a button lmao
>>
Mum got drunk and gave me £500 to slam into BTC. Put it all on DGB at 250SAT with BTC at $1600ish.

She's made a lot of profit though not as much as if I'd actually sold the bags. Keeping it in DGB because I believe in it and she won't cash out any time soon. If she gives me more I'll keep it in BTC.

>dad is an experienced investor, stocks real estate and options.
>"Papa, I've started looking into cryptocurrencies, there's this one called ethereum that is supposed to be the new bitcoin."
>November 2016, ETH around 11
>"ok son, here's $5,000 ill be happy if I double my money."
>next few months of stagnation and slight loss, feel like I brought my dad into a possible pyramid scheme.
>Suddenly in March, ETH doubles.
>"ok son, I'm ready to sell"
>"you sure dad? It might go up way more, you don't really need 5 grand, let it ride."
>"I doubled, I'm happy"
>cash out, watch as ETH continues to moon, text my dad the price every day.
>pop pop could have had 165,000 on a 5 grand investment but pulled out because 100% is a killing in any other investment.
>parents just don't understand

Bought eth when it was $50, told parents, my mother was in the tech department of a huge satellite company, worked on Oracle and shit, gives me enough for 10 eth, told her it was at $400 and she bought ten more, she's still holding it and actually doing research on other projects now, she doesn't day trade though, just invests and waits, she's obsessed with metal now.
