My aunt is a dish washer.
She asked me about Bitcoin and I was very surprised since she's not from any "tech" bubble, I think she never gave one prompt to Chat GPT for example.
To the best of my ability I tried to explain to her how Bitcoin works and I think she understood very well; I'm not good at expressing myself but her desire to learn was so strong that she got it.
After my brief explanation, I helped her install an Electrum mobile wallet (she doesn't have any computers).
Electrum has some translations missing by the way.
This all happened in the previous weekend, in the next weekend I'll help her create an account in an exchange so she can buy her first satoshis.
The funny part is that my parents were listening while I explained to her and now they're all hyped up, even though they never heard of Bitcoin before, so perhaps next weekend more 3 people will get in touch with Bitcoin.
Of course, the interest for Bitcoin comes from wanting to make profit in fiat, and I think it's okay.
All zaps of this post (if any), will be sent to my aunt or divided with her and my parents if they decide to try it out as well.

My aunt is a toaster so I can empathize with this
My aunt is a microwave. She never asked me about Bitcoin. π₯²
NGU got me in.
Skin in the game got me learning why the answer is always Bitcoin.
Congratulations.
As my @btcschellingpt often says, "Shill Lightly".

Anecdotally, Iβve had more success approaching women about Bitcoin.
For some reason they instinctively sense the system is rigged against them, so they donβt feel they owe fiat any respect.
