How to Make Your Parents Finally Understand Bitcoin
summary
Uses concrete stories to replace jargon: Basim in Lebanon (42‑year‑old food driver storms a bank in 2022 demanding $100,000, walks out with $35,000; seven copycats force banks to close for two weeks), a Yap Island rai stones analogy to explain proof‑of‑work (stones’ holes prove costly labor while ownership, not movement, records value), and Venezuela’s 2015 hyperinflation (infant mortality spikes, formula costs two months’ wages). Claims that personal, cooking‑recipe and family anecdotes convert parents far better than technical terms like not your keys, not your coins.
