Visiting my parents (late 70s) for the first time this year. They literally have no idea what I do for work and at this point I’m not even interested in trying to explain it to them. It’s not even a crypto thing, this has been true for the last 20 years. From 1-10, how much do your parents understand your work?

I sometimes get the feeling my mom thinks I’ve gone insane, though she’s too polite to tell me as much. She understood for a solid decade but the blockchains bits are impenetrable, as is my penchant for rarely having a salaried job.

My dad, on the other hand (also late 70s), understands just fine.

Known for the everywhere.computer (/ec), /unglish (unglish.co.uk), the /secure-design WG, WalletUncon, Causal Islands + drumming in all-genre power trios.

Yeah I think my parents understood the period in my life when I was doing product consulting
