Thanks for the Zaps and suggestions for my Nephew! 💜💜💜
How it went
Onboarded to Breez with $120 worth of sats he says he will give me $100 from his piggy bank next time I see him. $20 on me.
He wanted to preorder FIFA. Right from breez app, I showed him the bitrefill tab he bought $100 PlayStation gift card with his sats.
Then I made him actually do everything on his own. Loaded his account and he was able to do it all.
Told him one more thing there is this cool social media app called Nostr and I told him that I posted I was teaching him Bitcoin and that any Zap on the post would go to him. He was like no way that so many people sent bitcoin to him that he didn't knew. Mind blown!
I sent over the Bitcoin you guys zapped to him now. I explained that if he made his bed everyday, read at least 30 minutes, took out the trash, and practice gratitude daily towards his parents I would pay him $10 worth of satoshis per week to him as Bitcoin allowance. He was pumped.
I explained to him the importance of saving and to think twice about spending so fast because $35 worth of Bitcoin could be worth $1000 one day.
We proceed to go outside to play soccer. He challenges me to a pk shootout and he goes I want to bet 5000 satoshis if I win. Back of my mind I'm thinking is this a degenerate shitcoin gambler in the making 😂 I proceed to demolish him and take the 5000sats and tell him to never gamble.
We headed back and I only orange pilled him a little before ending with some fifa. Told him to save in Bitcoin now he wants to move more of his piggy bank money into Bitcoin. So that will be for the next time! Today was a good day.
quoting nevent1q…nvnpLater today ill be babysitting my nephew he is 10. He's on summer vacation and I can tell he is bored. Makes me sad a bit that he doesnt have kids his age around where he lives and it seems like kids dont get together like they used to to hang out. Lucky for him, I'm the cool active uncle so I try to see him often to kick the soccer ball around, go to the pool, talk, play fifa etc. When I was younger I was blessed most the families on my road had kids my age so we were always outside playing basketball, street hockey, roller blading, playing made up games. It's how I became so competitive, I was usually the youngest and at a disadvantage but I would practice a lot after we hung out and I eventually started winning in all the games we played until most of my friends didnt want to play anymore because they couldnt win 😂 .
Back to my nephew. I'm thinking of setting him up on a weekly allowance of Bitcoin for during chores in the house for his parents. I'm going do a weekly chart of multiple tasks and he will have to get it checked off for each day. Do you all have any good ideas of good things I can reward him for doing daily like making his bed?
I'm deciding between Breez and Phoenix. Leaning towards Breez because the apps tab that has bitrefill. This way he can buy Playstation gift cards himself and hopefully he thinks twice about it after he truly starts embracing stacking sats and savings. Shill me the easiest self custodial lightning wallet if you think it would be suited better for this use case.
My newphew told me a couple weeks ago he wants to save money so he can go to the USA to watch World Cup games live in 2026. Im hoping the bull market is around the corner and it opens his eyes to why saving in something scarce like Bitcoin is the way to go. The orange pilling has begun.
Anything zapped on this post will go to my nephew later after I set him up on Breez.
Also he got this for me a couple months ago for my birthday 💜. I got it on my work desk.
Wish me Luck!
