Tonight my 60+ year old father-in-law asked me to help get him setup with Crypto (he’s always trying to learn the latest stuff; super smart guy). Got him setup with the Coinbase wallet in less than 2 mins, sent him some USDC on Base for free, and sent him an NFT. This is the way. 🔵

Do you mind if I ask what tokens you started him off with? I created a regulated indexing platform for crypto, @hedgehog, and we're trying to serve customers like your father

Sure! Just USDC on Base. To me stable coins are a great start because there’s no price fluctuation distractions. Gives a good foundation to introduce the idea of other tokens vs ether / bitcoin

How will he send that USDC? Does he have gas?

True, but that’s only for a limited time I believe. Unless his account is a 4337 wallet already, he will encounter gas at some point and the UX may surprise him

I do think everyone today needs to know about gas. Until complete gas sponsorship, it’s an abstraction that cannot be hidden indefinitely

You can send USDC on Base for free in the Coinbase wallet 😎 No better starter experience
