Bought dr**s with my dad yesterday

It was an amazing day yesterday. I first told my dad (an older boomer) about crypto currencies in 2016. He thought they were full of shit, only used to buy dr*gs on the internet, and for other illicit ventures. He wanted nothing to do with them.

Fast forward to 2021 and my dad is taking pain relief meds that you can't get in the US. Not that I condone any of it - but they make him feel better and he's tried just about every other option and is tired of seeing new doctors every week.

Yesterday, since his friend that he usually buys from is out of town, my dad managed to find what he was looking for online - but the only accepted payment was with BTC or LTC. So he calls me for help and within 5 minutes of sitting with him I've sent 12 LTC to a wallet, recieved a confirmation email on the purchase, and a shipping notification for when he can expect his order. (used LTC because no way was I giving up any of my BTC).

The look on his face was priceless and I've now set him up with a wallet of his own as well as taught him how to use the feautes, what different coins do, and how to check his transactions on the blockchain.

Things in my family have truly come full circle and i've been completely reassured that cryptocurrencies are here to stay.
