Not true. My father (71) always was the same, anti-bitcoin etc. Until he needed to pay for online TV (do nt ask, but it was impossible to pay w card)

"Online TV" that requires payment in crypto, and doesn't take card... without more info, it's pretty safe to assume that service is not provided legally.
It may just be a matter of where they live. I got used to sending money in btc to my grandmother because the countries we live in currently happened to be at war with each other and bank transfers were not an option.
Yes, that's the reason. I am happy that I helped him back then, because he suddenly died just a few months later.
There were no legal option due to political circumstances. I am happy I helped him back then, cause he suddently died several months later.
Fair enough.
