I was talking with a relative who told me she "only had" 0.002 btc that she bought back in '22, having since 4x in purchasing power.
This purchase was mostly - maybe entirely - an emotional buy based on peer pressure from her dad, brother, and I all having discussions about #bitcoin in her presence.
She has no idea the technology behind her purchase, the fundamentals, or even the implications of what that could be one day.
When she recently brought up her purchase in conversation, I tried explaining a little bit of first principles about what money even is, etc...
I don't think I got through.
Good news is: she doesn't have to get it. If she, or someone in her shoes, just buys and holds for long enough, the interest for the "what, why, and how" will organically occur.
