An 80 year old family friend called me for financial advice because her kids wouldn't "help her buy crypto"

I'm advising her to buy $100 of Bitcoin on @River, giving her @Lawrence Lepard's The Big Print and telling her that after she reads it I'm happy to help

What would you do?

Commandable. I haven't read the big print. But I've given similar advice but put out Lynn Alden's Broken Money.

Send her $5 via River to her email which will let her open her new account with something already in it

My dad called me up 2 days ago to ask if now was a good time to buy bitcoin, he had his bank account closed for some bogus reason, and the new bank offers bitcoin saving plans. I told him everyday is a good day to buy bitcoin, and right now it’s on sale.

Glad that she’s come to the Jedi Master

Get her a lightning address so we can bomb her with Zaps

Nice 👍🏻 But 95% chance she won’t read the book 🤔🫣

Cash app is probably the easiest for a situation like that.

If you DM an address, I’ll mail her my book.

River vets everyone who applies using some intrusive KYC database "security" service, and they will deny you an account if you have ever engaged in political wrongthink or gotten on the wrong side of the regime in Washington.

Perfect advice! ₿

Broken Money is my current go to. Layered Money is decent too and a lot shorter depending on your audience. 80yr old is a special use case - you did well

River is good advice because it seems like they are good at hand holding.

You nailed it. nostr:nprofile1qqsrtv3u6qkj6a09tnhr3l0wy67g9uw3t57ftqyqpvztpk3wmd6306spp3mhxue69uhkyunz9e5k7qg4waehxw309ajkgetw9ehx7um5wghxcctwvsueqn9x is the best.

thats a great approach...bravo!

My approach has become “once you’ve read the bitcoin standard I’ll give you all of my time you need”

Thank you for sending her our way Ben 🤝
