It's not often that I get flappergasted by a WhatsApp message but today was one of those days.
"If I send you the right amount of money can you buy a Bitcoin for me". - MOM
Staring in disbelieve at the message I decided to give her a call.
I had to call her anyway because I forgot to call her for her birthday yesterday. Horrible..I know. I did send a message but that's not the same. Even being distracted by Pizza day with my nieces is no excuse for that.
Luckily she couldn't care much about it..she just liked that I called. Pew....
Now my mom is a very wise woman so I didn't want to bug her about whether she was sure or not about it. I already knew she had made up her mind.
I just wanted to make sure she knew about the risk factor. It's after all a volatile investment. And we are also around an all time high.
She knew.
She wants it as a long term investment and even knew about the upcoming potential split (that's hopefully averted.)
We talked for a while about a lot of stuff. In the end, she said she would transfer the money to me today.
I was in the gym when the money arrived. She had transferred me the money for 1 BTC at the current price value.
Sadly when I got home the BTC price had already gone up around 50 euro. I bought the 1 BTC after sending her a message about it.
While writing this 5 hours later the price has gone down 60 euro. A small swing but somehow it does more to me than it normally does but that's because she's now invested.
So miners when you read this my mom is now invested so make it right, please :)
Thank you!
