Getting the Older Generation into Crypto

It's all very well investing our fiat money into technology that we think will change the world for the better but we also have to actively encourage others to join us.

I think we can all agree that cryptocurrency is quite a youthful movement, as it were. We may not know the age of Satoshi Nakamoto but we can be sure most of us are not near our sunset years just yet. As someone in my 20's, there is a generational rift with technology, or at least the modern uses of it. My mum still doesn't have a smartphone and my dad didn't have cryptocurrency wallet - until today.

After some brief explanation from me, I directed him to the Exodus site and instructed him to download the wallet. He opened up the wallet and I told him where to go to give me his Litecoin receiving address.

"'Receive'? I like the sound of that!"

I sent him over a little bit of my Litecoin to get him interested and gave him some further details on what the blockchain means, how wallets work and some of the current Bitcoin drama - although I'm sure most of it went over his head. It sent within about 2 seconds which I was extremely impressed by. Litecoin is awesome.

So, that being said, get your family and the older generation on board! They need our help if we really want this movement to succeed.

If you want, you can send my 64-year-old dad some Litecoin. I'm sure he'd be very shocked!
