Grandfather will be about 70 years old. I love and care for my grandfather very much. Grandfather understandably wants to invest in Bitcoin. The value of 1 rupee today and 1 rupee in the future is very different. This is what we call inflation. Since Bitcoin is a volatile digital cryptocurrency currency. So my grandfather got interested in investing in Bitcoin. I fully explained to my grandfather that Bitcoin has both profit and loss.
Apart from you having to tell your grandfather about the advantages and disadvantages of investing, you also have to tell him that it is time for someone who is too old like your grandfather to rest more and not need to think more about investing even though it is also not wrong if he want to do it by learning from yourself.

But people who are too old with 70 years of age will actually be better off if they are able to take care of themselves by maintaining their health without thinking about many things because everything must be left up to the next generation like you.

What exactly will his father be thinking about? Mining? How to set up the rig? What type of rig to buy? Op said he gave his grandad investment advice and not how to mine or how to develop Bitcoin so all he has to do is to bring out the money he wants to invest i.e if he truly buys the idea, and allow Op do the investment for him, Op can also be monitoring everything for him and if he sees that profit is good enough he can cash out for his grandad as well so the old man has nothing to worry about, the only thing I would said the man would have worried about is if there are risked involved or not but since Op already told him every about it then that one is settled.

That was the right call, OP. I am not sure why would others push into going all of their wealth into Bitcoin and would even going far into selling their own lands and property just for the sake of getting into it or even becoming a whale. I can recall some stories in Trading Discussion surrounding those topics.

I would also advise your grandfather as well about other things to be learned about with Bitcoin such as where it is the best to hold it and its whole in-depth stuffs.

That's good. Even though bitcoin is a good investment, but that does not mean it will also be very good for some time especially giving all the wealth to the investment is definitely not a good thing in this case.
Especially if you say this is grandfather, then indirectly age also determines it, and therefore some of it is more than enough in my opinion because when you say about grandfather, now is not the time to invest but to enjoy life with wealth from what you have done before.

My grandfather has some wealth. Now my grandfather will invest all his wealth in Bitcoin. I told my grandfather not to invest all your wealth in Bitcoin. I suggested to my grandfather that Bitcoin not only has the potential for profit, but also the potential for loss. So you invest some wealth in Bitcoin. You don't have to sit on the street if your investment suffers.

My only question to all, was I able to give my grandfather the right advice??

you gave the best advice in the world and this does not only apply to bitcoin, you should never put all your money in one investment, no matter how much everyone says it is profitable and safe, you should not put all your money in one investment , the person must diversify investment, your grandfather must diversify investment, he can buy houses, land, bitcoin, he can invest in a business in the real world... there are many things he can invest

you need to show him the danger of all investments, another important point:

It is necessary to have an idea of age vs. expected time of return on an investment, it makes no sense for a 65 year old person to buy bitcoin to hold for 5 years, when nothing guarantees that person will reach 70 years old nowadays life expectancy is low, with so many diseases that exist, people no longer live long

perhaps this is one of the most interesting things I've read recently on the forum.I think one of the important points is for your grandfather to give someone the keys to his savings, or write the keys in his will.Since his savings may be lost, and it is also very important that he learns exactly how Bitcoin works and it is important that he does not fall into the hands of scammers.Good luck to you.

you gave the best advice, in trading, it's advice to trade only the proportion you'll be comfortable to loose.

I know so many of us give birth at a very young age, but I still can't help but imagine how old it is your grandfather would be at this time and considering that too, would he be mentally fit to handle it or you'd handle his wallet for him???

Can I ask you a question? If worst thing happens and your grandfather passes away, who will took the Bitcoins that your grandfather bought?

If grandfather dies after investing in bitcoins we will divide it between us. My family consists of my parents and grandfather and we three brothers and two sisters. I will share equally with my family.

Everyone pray for my grandfather that my grandfather may live long.
Everyone pray for the long life of your grandfather. And your grandfather haven't invested yet. You've given the suggestion to invest. The suggestion is good, but request him to allocate little amount and have the rest of his earnings in different investment or savings. Because during the elderly people want money to meet unexpected needs. Maybe we can encounter situation in which the market is down and you're in need of money for some emergency medical needs or something similar.

I can't imagine an old man putting in his retirement benefits or other means of livelihood into something as risky as Bitcoin and since we have to wait for a long term before we can see the impact of that investment, which is something that old people don't have time to wait for Bitcoin investment to mature because they have already spent their productive age, unlike young folks who have plenty of time to wait.
They can do it for their children and grandchildren, meaning they no longer expect profit for themselves but more for their inheritance.

You may have heard that many parents buy valuable assets to keep their children alive after they die [inheritance], and in this case they can also do so with bitcoin while they tell their children or potential beneficiaries the private keys or their seed wallet. Does a case like this make no sense to you?

I personally would hesitate to recommend investing in cryptocurrencies to my grandfather, as I would be concerned about the potential risks involved. He is getting up there in years, and he might not have the time or the stomach to weather the ups and downs of the crypto market. If he wants to invest his money, there are plenty of more traditional options that might be better suited to his goals and his comfort level.

I don't know if it's good or bad knowing that it's your "grandfather".
I mean you just let your grandfather invest into something that he can't understand. You just said that there is a potential profit and loss and that's it.

Educating an old person regarding complex things especially Bitcoin is very hard, but at least teach your grandfather even at least the basics of it. Can I ask you a question? If worst thing happens and your grandfather passes away, who will took the Bitcoins that your grandfather bought? If it's you then I guess you kind of trick him so that you can get a share of his wealth.

For me, I'd rather just let your grandfather hold the wealth as it is than investing it into Bitcoin. I don't know, but there's a chance that he can't take the potential loss on his investments. Overall, I can't say that you gave your grandfather a right advice considering that he's old unless you will teach him, and give him some knowledge.

I know you've been advising your grandpa to invest in one of the best assets ever, but are you sure your grandpa can afford to take the loss if bitcoin doesn't bring him the returns it deserves after a few years?

You can't ask anyone to put all their wealth in bitcoin if they don't know what bitcoin is and what the risks are. It is also not advisable to do so even if you are sure he knows what the consequences will be. We all never know what will happen to bitcoin in the future, but if you believe it is profitable then you should suggest investing an amount you can afford to lose.

My only question to all, was I able to give my grandfather the right advice??
Yes, you can. But don't let your grandfather invest in bitcoin with all his wealth when he doesn't know what the risks are.

You don’t know what would be better off for a 70 year old. I think when you’re 70 years old, then you can have an opinion on what a 70 year old has to do and think about. Also, I don’t think everything should be left to the next generation as it’s never too late for anyone irregardless of their age to get onboard with bitcoin.
As a 70 year old, it’s still very possible to be healthy and still have investments

My question is, how old is your grandfather? Why don't you let your grandfather enjoy his last days? Why invest in old age? Instead of advising my grandfather to invest, I will try to give him a fulfilling life at the end of his life. We invest also to find a comfortable life in old age, so treat your grandfather well. Because when you have a lot of money, you can't take it with you when you die.

Grandfather will be about 70 years old. I love and care for my grandfather very much. Grandfather understandably wants to invest in Bitcoin. The value of 1 rupee today and 1 rupee in the future is very different. This is what we call inflation. Since Bitcoin is a volatile digital cryptocurrency currency. So my grandfather got interested in investing in Bitcoin. I fully explained to my grandfather that Bitcoin has both profit and loss.
It's good if you have explained bitcoin and also its advantages and disadvantages. You also explained the risks of investing in bitcoin so that your grandfather knows what to do. You just stay with him during his journey of investing in bitcoin and explain everything else if he wants to know more about bitcoin. And don't forget to keep advising your grandfather about only investing in bitcoin with the money he can afford so that he doesn't immediately use all of his wealth to invest in bitcoin.

My only question to all, was I able to give my grandfather the right advice??
For me yes, but if I were you, you need your grandfather first to educate what Bitcoin is, not only for investment so he will understand what he is investing in. Because if it's just your will or you are the only one who understands it, it's useless.
So that he will also know what he is getting into it.
You're right, that's how it should be. One must know what bitcoin is before they decide to invest. It's hard to believe why they should invest when they have no idea what bitcoin is even if someone can convince them of its potential. This means they can't buy the cat in the sack before they can clearly see what's in the sack.

That is great advice and not only that, it also educates your grandfather about the risk involved in investing in crypto. Because most of the time we just see the positive side of investing in Bitcoin, we usually though that it grows continuously but never see the possibilities that the price will drop or even collapse. I'd see that he really has the courage to invest but he also needs to consider the idea of putting all eggs in one basket is full of risk.  
And tell him that, it is safe to spread his money into the different investment platforms that just put it all in Bitcoin.

There's nothing wrong with OP talking about bitcoin with his grandfather, but if it were me, I would stop my grandfather from investing in bitcoin. Because as you say: a person is 70 years old, it's time to enjoy life and health is the most important thing in the moment. Even if it turns out to be profitable, it won't make him young again to enjoy them. But if he's a geek and likes to explore new things, then it won't be a problem for him to invest, but don't let him invest all of his savings.

You don't have to sit on the street if your investment suffers.

My only question to all, was I able to give my grandfather the right advice??
I don't know how old you are but if I estimate your age in your 20's then your grandfather is around 60 to 70 years old so it's really plausible that your grandfather is interested in Bitcoin at this age. But always advise your grandfather and explain how risky it is to invest in Bitcoin and that he should take that risk and invest and follow DCA instead of investing all his money at once or he will be heartbroken if he loses big at this age. Can die from an heart attack  Sad

OP said he explained to his grandfather about the risks but I really doubt that his great grandfather didn't fully understand what he was saying. He is also a newbie in the market, he has not experienced the feeling of loss how can he pass all the risk on to others? A person who has never experienced a bear season with extreme volatility and knows only about the risks from other people's accounts will not have enough experience to give investment advice to others.
op is new to this forum but maybe he already knows about bitcoin from long before. if his story is true. Now every day such stories are seen in this forum now it is very difficult to understand which is true story and which is false especially newbie accounts are constantly posting different kinds of stories to get some merit to rank up the account.  I still confused that the op's story is true. But whether the story is true or false he has got a merit that is his worth

There is no right or wrong advice, there is only advice.

What I mean is that as long as you are honest and your grandfather knows the risks and potential limitations of his investment, then he knows what is best for himself. Some people live well without savings, others need to live without taking any risks. We are all different, your advice could be great for me, and horrible for my mother.

Personally having done ALL IN in Bitcoin has never put me out on the street, it has gotten me out. But it's clear that it's hard to be objective, for me having done all in BTC at the time was not very risky, because I didn't have much.

The real positive thing, apart from the risk of your grandfather's decision, is that you educated him on a potential lever of freedom, and that apparently thanks to you, one more person seems to have understood BTC. As long as he understands what he is doing, and is aware of all the risks, his decision can't be wrong. If you are willing to take all the consequences of your investments, there is no pressure. I guess he wouldn't make a decision that could send him out on the street
