My mom wants to buy Bitcoin after listening to me… and now I’m scared

My mother barely uses Facebook and has zero interest in technology or finance.
Yet here we are: she asked me to help her buy Bitcoin.

Over the past months, I’ve talked a lot about Bitcoin at home — why I believe in it, my long-term goals, scarcity, adoption, etc. I guess at some point it clicked for her.

The problem is… now I’m scared.

Even though I truly believe in Bitcoin’s future, I’m afraid of a few things:

• What if things don’t go as expected?
• What if she doesn’t live long enough to really see the benefits of this investment?
• What if she can’t mentally handle the volatility and panic during big drawdowns?

This feels very different from investing my own money. If Bitcoin drops 50%, I can handle it. If her money drops 50%, that’s a different emotional weight.

I don’t want to be irresponsible or turn into “that guy” who convinced a family member to invest and then regrets it forever.

So I’m asking those of you who’ve been here longer or have more life experience:

What would you do in my position?
