My parents still believe in crypto and got sulky when I told them that only scammers peddle crypto as the big thing. My Stepmom wastes like her monthly earrings on failed crypto schemes and my dad has to bail her out and basically pay every medical procedure/bills/gifts/groceries lol and give her an allowance, which she further throws out of the window with silly investments.
Dude! that sucks. Have you tried telling her that gold and realestate are the only sure bet? Start telling her lies about a guy you talked to on the internet who invested in actual physical gold and used the profits to buy his house outright.
