Getting kids into crypto.

12 year old nephew came over with his mom and sister today. His birthday is coming quick, so I told him to have his mom buy him some bitcoin to hodl for him. He became very inquisitive and started asking me all kinds of questions. We talked about a maximum of 21 m coins, breaking them down into smaller sizes, and future projections.

He put the hard sell on his mom to get him100$ but she blew it off. Can’t lie I was hoping she’d fold and buy off of conbase to get me a referral bonus.

A few minutes later my wife gave the kid 20$ for his birthday. He came to me and asked if he could buy some bitcoin. I locked him in at 10,393.95 with .001924 btc. Kid downloaded Blockfolio and started tracking. I was rolling watching him rage at mom that he could of 5xed his gains.

I told him that this is locked up until he is 18, but if he gets dumb and wants to cash it out at any point, I’ll gladly give his mom the money and keep Hodling it my own self.

We are now bitcoin bros.

Just was a cute interaction. Hope he makes it and so do we!

Coinmarketcap are listing BCH sites as BTC

I'm not good at twitter and don't have many followers but I've tweeted at them here: https://twitter.com/bitplane/status/955918445014585344 Can we raise awareness of this and get them to change it please?

No, Bitcoin is not controlled by a small group of investors and miners (A rebuttal to the TechSpot article)

https://preview.redd.it/vli0ofqwf6w71.jpg?width=3840&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2a704c47375637858c27216379ae8313dadf8be8 This could be a long read. Kindly bear with me. I write this primarily in response to the TechSpot article from yesterday ( r/technology mods told me they only allow “ mainstream articles with editorial oversight and fact-checking ” so I'm sharing this here). But I’d also like to take this opportunity to write about Bitcoin more broadly as someone who has been following it for more than a decade and I’ll try to do so without complicating the conversation for anyone unfamiliar with Bitcoin. The TechSpot article cites a non-peer-reviewed National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) working paper from Igor Makarov and Antoinette Schoar. NBER claims to be non-partisan but it is a private NPO funded by the likes of Bill Gates foundation . The chairman of NBER, Karen Horn, is a former president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland and Head of Int...
