1 of my older brothers refuses to buy bitcoin even though he was the one interested in it around 2015-2017
I think part of the reason he avoids it is regret and would rather stay as far away from it as possible now.
But today I was thinking on how I could get him involved again even with $20 or $30.
As I was thinking about it , I found $20 cash in the grass while mowing on the highway.
I figured I’d give him a call tonight and propose an idea that if he signs up to an exchange to buy some bitcoin, I’ll send him the $20 to start .
Even if he doesn’t buy anymore for a year, at least he can watch that $20 appreciate in price .
My next step will send him bitcoin over lightning through strike if he gets interested.
Yes I could take the $20 for myself and stack more SATS. But if $20 gets my brother even slightly interested, it will be worth it.

Getting my dad into BTC but it’s hard being at completely different stages of life.
He’s getting ready to retire and he wants to buy things like a caravan and a new car to travel with mum. He’s not really looking to lock his money up for 5-10 years. So I’m trying to find a balance for him that doesn’t affect what he wants to do but still looks some BTC away in cold storage just to have some skin in the game.
Whereas I’m trying to lock all my money up for the future to put off the now and enjoy the future. Putting in the hard work now in hope it pays off long term. I’ve got time on my hands at 21 years of age.
I remember when I saw Bitcoin for about $18,000 USD. I actually had about $12,000 in savings.
At the time I was looking for a car to buy as well as buying altcoins instead , thinking I could accumulate them for the next bullrun.
I ended up spending the $12,000 on a Hilux thinking I’d use it heaps for 4WD trips and camping etc .
Yes I’ve loved the car … but man now looking at bitcoin priced at $80,000 shocks me. So much price appreciation in a bit over 2 years … and I’ll never be able to get that amount of Bitcoin even with an increase of annual salary.
And the altcoins I held through the bear market… never recovered. Bitcoin also dropped even lower to about $15k just after me buying the car. As of today’s price that’s about a 5x.
REGRET- yes I have some. But man I did not have the conviction to buy and Hodl like I do now. I’ve learnt so much getting wrecked by altcoins and thinking I can time the market. Not understanding that it’s not too expensive to buy Bitcoin, you can buy a small percentage through (SATS) .
Yesterday was the time to buy bitcoin. But you can get some today.
I’ve been humbled …
