And now my mom owns some ETH. A few days ago she asked about buying some and so that what I sort of helped her do. I helped her setup a Coinbase account. As much as I'm not a fan of coinbase, its so much easier to use for her and it beats using something like a wallet. For now its all money that she's willing to lose so it doesn't matter too much. If it goes up to a larger amount, I'll get her a hardware wallet so she can move stuff out onto that.

Then she couldn't find her debit card to buy some, so I got some ETH from @sn0n(thanks man) and withdrew it from hive engine to her coinbase. And boom, she's hodling ETH now. I hope to be able to send her some every week, a little gift from me :)

But honestly this is exciting. I never thought my mom would be holding ETH, or any crypto. I chose ETH to send to her because its ETH, easy to use and most importantly, its on coinbase and has a lot of things behind it. Bitcoin might have been a better choice, but eh, ethereum is cool too.

Let's see how it ends up being though. Gotta start somewhere and this is the perfect way to get into crypto. Start small and go in big. This is a lot better than the shitcoin someone was trying to get her to buy.
