Last night, 81-year-old Ethel McDougal from Glasgow accidentally bought 0.003 BTC while trying to pay her council tax through “some confusing app her grandson installed.” The market instantly reacted: Bitcoin surged 7%, and Twitter exploded with the hashtag #GrannyBullRun.
“I just wanted to pay the bill, and now I’m a crypto investor,” said Ethel. Her grandson has already launched a YouTube channel called “BlockchainGranny”, where she’ll break down market trends while knitting scarves.
Analysts at Binance have now added a new metric to TradingView — the GMI (Granny Market Index) — tracking crypto interest among retirees. When GMI hits 70, bears reportedly “take early retirement.”
😄 Moral of the story: If even Grandma’s in the market, maybe it’s time to get off the sidelines — or ask her for tips.
