Yeah, hopefully she too will one day be able to experience the wonderful benefits of:
1) Losing money to obvious ponzi schemes
2) Bitcoin bank "hacks"
3) Paying ridiculous fees for the privilege to use bitcoins
4) Having her internet fun money lose over half its value over night!
Chuckle. Not bad. Throw in some mining accidents and ASIC pre-order scammery to make things more complete.
Dunno of you are SA or not. I've not looked at their material much lately, but I expect that they are either apoplectic about the price rise over the last month, or to embarrassed to say squat about it since they threw away a nice pay-out even though they were among the few who actually understood the solution.

I've paid for some things with BTC to people who were interested in the solution. In the primary case, the person turned around and traded them for Litecoin.
I explained it to my mother who understood it but was not interested. And I actually advised against her getting involved even if she wished to. Same with other family and most of my friends.
It probably is a legitimate consideration that involvement with Bitcoin will result in a flag in certain warehoused data unless one is extremely careful in how it is done. This is not the reason I've discouraged anyone about Bitcoin however.
