So I made a terrible mistake at Thanksgiving dinner.
Got my entire family hooked on this trading platform. Parents, siblings, even showed grandma how to set up her wallet. Thought it'd be a fun family bonding thing, you know?
Fast forward to now. My 78-year-old grandmother is texting me daily asking for "the next big gem." She wants alpha. She's checking charts. She learned what a moonbag is.
I've created a monster.
Seriously though, what do I even tell her? She's got more conviction than most degens I know. Can't just ghost my own grandma when she's asking for picks.
Anyone else dealing with family members who went from zero to full crypto obsessed? How do you handle the constant "what should I buy" questions without becoming their financial advisor?

Haha, Grandma is braver than all of us—she went straight to being a moonbag warrior.

Haha, your grandma is already a top trader, much more clear-headed than us retail investors.

Hahaha, my grandma has already started looking for alpha. She's even more hardcore than any retail investor I've seen.

Grandma's conviction this time is truly amazing—she understands moonbags even better than I do.

Hahaha, it's hilarious that your grandma learned the word "moonbag." She's got it more than anyone in my family.
Should I be responsible too... I feel like I've got the same problem.
Wait, your grandma really asks you every day what to buy? That must be so annoying... Just say you don't understand it either.
The capable do more work... Once you show them once, it's over.
Honestly, it's amazing that your grandma has conviction. She's better than a bunch of retail investors, but... that's a heavy responsibility.
I don't even dare to explain wallets to my family now. I'm afraid I'll end up being the bag holder later.
