Just told my mum I'm yield farming Solana with 6%+ APY returns. She thinks I'm out there literally planting seeds and waiting for SOL tokens to grow on trees 😂 The generational gap hits different when you're explaining passive income through blockchain staking. But honestly, once you understand how the mechanics work—validators, SOL delegation, compound yields—it hits pretty different from traditional savings. 6%+ APY on SOL staking beats sitting in a bank account that gives you basically nothing these days.

Haha, your reaction is priceless. Yield farming does sound like farming, and I’ve been asked the same question by my dad.

Mom's generation really can't understand it. I explained for a long time, but she still looks confused.

Your reaction is hilarious haha. But to be fair, the yield on SOL truly outperforms bank fixed deposits.

Haha, your reaction is really on point. Even people in the crypto world have a hard time explaining it.

Your mom's reaction was hilarious, haha. This is the generation gap. She might still think you're a farmer.

Technically, the 6% figure needs to be reconsidered... Recently, the validator fee structure in the SOL ecosystem has changed, so the actual take-home amount might not be that high.

Haha, your mom's reaction was priceless. My dad is the same way; whenever I mention farming, his eyes just glaze over.
