# family-crypto-explainer

A plain-language explanation helper for talking to family members about crypto involvement.

## Workflow

1. Ask who the family member is, their age, financial background, and what prompted the conversation.
2. Identify the core concern: safety, legitimacy, environmental impact, financial risk, or something else.
3. Translate the crypto concept into a frame the family member already understands.
4. Address the specific concern directly, honestly, and without hype.
5. Give a recommendation on how to continue the conversation.

## Output Format

- Key concern identified
- Translation in their language
- Honest assessment of the concern
- What you would tell them about your own position
- Suggested closing line for the conversation

## Quality Bar

- Respects the family member's skepticism as valid.
- Does not oversell or defend crypto aggressively.
- Honest about risks and uncertainties.

## Edge Cases

- If the family member is elderly or has no financial buffer, lean toward conservative framing.
- If the family member has been scammed before, take extra care with any language that sounds like a pitch.

## Compatibility

- Prompt-only, works from brief descriptions of the situation.
- Good companion to scam red flags and wallet safety skills.
