Bitcoin Forum

Hello everyone, good morning, yesterday I had a conversation with my family about crypto(BTC if we being specific).

Im HODL for a long time now, and really believe that in the end crypto actually do fly to do moon( More about Moon:) (https://guerrillabuzz.com/term/moon/)

my family thinks its a bullshit, and think that im wasting my time and money. I try to explain it countless of times and it seems that is simply imposable for to them to understand

So, im just curious what your family/friends think about it?

Take it from Satoshi's mouth: "If you don’t believe me or don’t get it, I don’t have time to try to convince you, sorry".

Personally, my family doesn't get the need of it because "oUr LoCaL mOnEy iS FiNe"; and the typical criticism that it's not physical; and if I'm going to try to defend it, they're just like "ehh ok". So basically, they're not interested. So what do I do? Just go throughout my day normally. You really just cant get everyone to be interested in such a niche subject.

Never tell your family that you are into crypto. Since I'm from a third world country, money is very important here that your family might be greedy to you for the sake of it. Since my family knows that I'm into crypto, the decisions I make are being hinder by them which forced me to separate ways. It's hard to admit but they only think cryptocurrency as a source of income. Nonetheless, I still support their financial needs.

If you hold for long time, then you probably buy at much lover price then it is today, unless you are one of those who invested in December 2017 and in first few months of 2018. To prove that there is something in all that ( that you don't waste your time and money), maybe you should buy something from that profit for your family? After that they maybe change their mind, because in the end, who doesn’t love gifts?

If you believe in something, you should stick to it - your life, your decisions.

^ When that for a long time? If you are buying around in the year 2017 which bitcoin is very high you should still hold until now but if that last year then, you can get your profit now. Nevertheless, I don't force my family to get involved in crypto if they don't. Just explaining them once but if they did not listen to me, I will not forcing them. But, recently my brother and sisters are now getting in touch with crypto because they saw that I did not worry when it comes to the financial problem. Showing your self that you are improving with crypto they are a spontaneous embrace of what crypto it is.

My wife doesn't like it and she is afraid of me losing money. ::)

Some of them think that crypto is scam. I remember when bitcoin's price is nearly 20K USD, a friend told me that bitcoin is scam and I should not be able to spend time or effort to it. For her, it's too good to be true. It's understandable for other people who is not familiar with crypto to think that way. I agree with Satoshi's quote.


But then, after months of being negative about bitcoin, I found out she's being lowkey interested about it because she's desperate to earn money. Lol!

Most of them doubt me and thinks that I am just wasting my time on it.
But once they've seen how much I have been earning they didn't talk much and some of them get interested in crypto .
Of course it would always be like that we always need to show the result before they change their mind about it.

@hoaryal1 I can totally understand why your family rejected bitcoins, it’s a normal reaction as they may not be fully aware of what kind of returns you can generate from bitcoins. In my personal opinion you should sit with them, and show them graphs of how it rose from 10 cents to $20k maybe they’ll like it too. What I did was brought gifts for my family members, and then told them I brought it via the profits that bitcoin gave me, though they were sceptical they encouraged me to earn more you may try this method.

Just like you, my family does not support crypto, for them profit is derived from effort and hard work, while crypto they see as things that do not need effort, just waiting for market movements. And this can't possibly change lives.

My 67 years old mom pushes me to buy more, she calls me everyday about bitcoin and im afraid to tell her bitcoin is dump because i know that she is going to buy more even she has few money.crazy.

I was in the same shoes as what you are in now,  three years ago, my family and my friends think I'm crazy because there is a lot of bad news about Bitcoin in our country, it was used by marketers to scam people and they think I'm going to scam people also.

I remain quiet and just continue without telling anyone in my family or friends about Cryptocurrency, they did realize that I'm doing good holdling and trading Cryptocurrency when I start supporting our needs and I also explain to them and urge to watch videos on Youtube about Cryptocurrency and read articles online about Cryptocurrency.

It's not that easy, I have friends that I help about crypto in the past but they didn't survive, learning crypto does not automatically makes a person successful here, they need to ensure they spend time or they put their passion so they will love their job, and most importantly, they should be a risk taker.

you are not wasting your time with "bitcoin" as it has a good future and most importantly because it is offering something useful.
however, in my opinion you are wasting your time with your site that you are also advertising here in your comment. the fact that you are busying yourself with things that we all know have no future calle ICO/STO/IEO is already bad. not to mention that majority of them are purely scam operations created to raise funds and nothing else. and the rest are just useless that dedicating even a second to any of them is a big mistake.

My family looks don't want to know about crypto even they were not too care about it because they says cryptocurrencies looks too difficult to understand but luckily they didn't forbid me to joining in crypto world because they says as long it profitable then they will support me

I have a family that supports me on what I'm doing right now, and I think you belong to the smart family that's why they also have their own judgement on crypto. As for me, my family is very thankful that I'm a crypto man because they also benefit on my profit here, but it's just that crypto is not for them as they would like to play safe by having a job, relies on paycheck that risking their money here and start a journey in crypto.

They don't really care about it and have not invested a single penny since they prefer FIAT, but they do know what it is thanks to me and its surge in popularity with time. Its simply their opinion and I respect it.

I don't go out of my way to make them use crypto since that isn't the correct route. They will probably invest in BTC once adoption rates grow and once the volatility factor drops with time though.

I'm actually quite happy that at least some of my family members are open minded and young enough to appreciate what Bitcoin is, but I'm still not sure if they are ready to distance themselves from the speculative nature of it.

Quite often after a sharp increase or decrease in the price they send me a DM through whatsapp asking why the price has gone up or down, and whether or not this is the time to long or short the market.

I'm uncomfortable providing them advice on the speculative nature of this market because when they lose, they'll blame me guaranteed. This is why I just tell them to hodl most of their coins and speculate only with a small portion.

At first they are laughing at me on what I am doing especially those posts on my walls in regards of all the bounties that I have joined.. But lately after seeing all my earnings from crypto they become curious about it... Now they are voluntarily asking me how to start on crypto.. They want me to teach them all what I'm doing specially crypto trading.. And I'm happy that atleast now they are adapting crypto..

But bitcoin is nothing like a credit card though.. an easily transferable digital gold would fit the narrative much much better especially when you're going to explain it to your parents in the first place. Calling it a credit card would probably give them too much unnecessarily confusion as bitcoin is already confusing enough in the first place.

The family treats cryptocurrencies well, because I make money using cryptocurrencies.Friends and acquaintances think that I am some kind of fraudster and crypto-currencies are used exclusively by hackers.I have repeatedly tried to prove something and tell,but stereotypes are very difficult to break.Alas.

For me, my family have no idea that I'm into cryptocurrencies and they have no idea what cryptocurrency is and to even think of knowing the entire crypto ecosystem.  But if they did know about cryptocurrency and the entire crypto space, they will not no problem with me investing into cryptocurrencies. Its all about how you explain and present what crypto is and the ideology behind the entire ecosystem

There is definitely a lot of confusion and resistance in my family. They all think it's a waste of time and money... little do they know

I'm lucky to have a family that isn't mocking me with what I do and what I believe. They have been supportive and don't ask me about what bitcoin is as long as they see no harm on what I do, they are there.

But with the other people that surrounds me, friends and other relatives. They are mostly the ones that are bullsh*tting with what I'm telling them about bitcoin, they mock, make fun of me and that's why I don't care anymore if they ask me about bitcoin or wants to start a conversation about its recent rise.

Why you want to convince your parents what you do when it comes to investment, you can do anything you want with your money and until and unless you feed off them they do not bullshit all your investment choices. I do not complaint them about their opinion and they could not understand bitcoin and hence they have their opinion. No one interferes on what i do with my money and hence i do not need to convince anyone  :P.

Unfortunately is very sad to say before have same story like yours, later on I convince my family I am not wasting time investing in bitcoin or crypto, I show them my earning and porfolio last all time high way back year 2017 and one sister and my brother I convince to earn and invest in crypto.

I’m not telling them about my crypto activities because they will borrow money from me, it is still good for me to keep it secret, to work hard on a secret place and later on will show them the result of all my sacrifices. Only my future wife knows about this thing, and I’m happy that she is very supportive.

My family support me to join crypto, I am already joined crypto for a long time and I had showed them how much profit I had made,they don't really understand what is crypto and how to used it, but they said as long as it can create profit then its a good thing

Why do you think it is impossible for them to understand?

you explain to someone that you saw an alien... If that person do not see an alien either, then they do not believe you. You're doing it wrong, show them bitcoin and then take a small part to the real world and buy them something with the money you have taken. When they see money they will understand and they will believe you. People believe in things they can see and touch.


well, it's unbelievable that people in my country already know bitcoin, so I don't have the same problem that you have

We are different if your family didn't believe in crypto.we our family really believe in crypto.there so many ways that crypto help us.we got some profit from trading crypto and we can say that we earned from this crypto.our family all of us believe in crypto.I think give them some good thing happen to you using crypto to your family to recognize them what is crypto how you use it and how you will earn from this.teach them and give some proof that crypto can help us in our lives.goodluck

Some of my friends get houses from bitcoins market. Some of my friends are afraid of being involved. It depends on how open the person is.

People who are in the financial side of things, people who invest in stock market have certainly heard about bitcoin because it is the most profitable investment in the past few years, yes it does have its risks but then if the OP is struggling to make someone understand the new market trends it is better for them to read financial news often to have a sense of life outside of their box. People who ignore the global market and people who does not have any financial investment in stock market or mutual funds might not understand what is happening globally and we cannot change those people.

I already tell my family that I am making money from cryptocurrency, and now they can accept it and let me continue my way. Before this, they don't believe that I can earn money from cryptocurrency because they think that is not real. They still follow the old people who working in the office is the best work you can get. But since 2010, I tried to work from the internet, and I always search the opportunity from making money from the internet and so far, I can get the money although not much. But in the cryptocurrency, I show to my parents that I can make a lot of money and make them believe that what I did on the internet, specifically in the cryptocurrency can give me the money with doing many things.

My mom is actually proud of me. She doesn't really get the idea of Bitcoin but she believes me that it's the future and she's just glad that I'm "trendy" :P.
As for my partner, it was tough at the beginning because my SO thought it was a form of gambling. (Well, it kinda is, but let's not talk about it). Now, it's better, since we were able to go on holidays abroad thanks to BTC  8)

My mother thought  I was a fraudster for been always online when she saw I didn't suddenly become rich, she started telling me to get a good job and close down my office. I sometimes don't know what to tell her or she could believe that Crypto is as real as the real economic sector.

Bitcoin is an investment place which is different with another investment place IMO. If you talk an investment in another place such as real estate, stock and etc then I can sure you won't say their place will go to the moon. The movement price of them will move slowly but it has a slight risk compared to bitcoin who has volatile price and high risk as well.

My family know and appreciate against my decision when I intend to invest in bitcoin because I said to them bitcoin is digital asset such as gold but I never told to them about bitcoin deeply because it will make them confused. They will know every investment have each level of risk which should be accepted by all investors including me at this point. So, to make them believe in me I'll not say the profit that I get when investing in bitcoin, but I'll show to them the money that I get when bitcoin price goes to the moon later.

At first my family thinks that Cryptocurrency is just a waste of time.  I tried to explain it to them but they did not understand so instead of pushing the idea to them, I just show it in action.   Little by little they understand that crypto is some kind of currency that depends on the market demand.  Though they know that it is a new kind of technology and can be used to buy stuff and remit money to other places.  

lol, same as me, my mother think that crypto is just non-sense virtual money and can not be cashed out. She blamed me a lot for investing in crypto, especially I decided to quit my job and contribute 100% of my time to crypto

AFAIK Every family has that tech savvy member, so getting to know about bitcoin and sharing it to them was not a difficult issue because they seem to be interested about this technology and there is plenty of information and stuff to learn.

But there are some friends and family who think is all a ponzi and always throw negative sentiments towards crypto, so I have chosen to not bring this topic when am with them.

In my case, I explained it to them when I'm holding some cash because it will be easy for them to understand especially when they are seeing the result with their eyes. then I will explain it one by one on how did I got that money with me.

Trust me with this kind of strategy they are all open-minded to listen and understand because they will get curious about how I get that money.
and don't forget to warn them its consequences so you won't get any words from them if they failed to earn some profits from investing.

To be honest my family isn't familiar with fact that I'm involved in Bitcoin. I never thought they would be interested to know that or to be included by themselves. Several times we tried to talk about that but they showed no interest so I gave up.
If people are open minded and interested in new technologies and solutions you will get their support and understanding. If not they would probably think you are weird or involved in something illegal.

Actually if ever my family is against my crypto investments?i don’t care because it’s  my money who’s being invested so if ever there’s a concern it must be me
But I am lucky that they are supporting me every step of the way so my success is with them in future,though I have already some profits for years that they are enjoying

My family just calm about it, they know it's an earning opportunity but not the easy one. They are open about it and all I do is share my emotion and reaction about the market status, luckily they motivate me to hold and do a great job. Just take it easy and balance my time since I have much more important things to do. I just hope they wouldn't think I do illegal things since I get to earn money without them noticing me doing tasks and stuff.

Grandparents think it is a ponzi scheme
Parents, 1 thinks it is the future, one thinks it is a scam
My 4 brothers and I think it is the future
Our kids think it is the future


When the olders gen`s die off, something like bitcoin will become the medium of exchange.

If you are talking about "cryptocurrency"

btw, not such thing exist yet, a currency is declared by a nation, no nation has reconigzed any crypto yet other than what China is about to release, that will be the first "cryptocurrency"

Everything you see on coinmarketcap is a cryptocash, cryptotoken or cryptocoin, Satoshi called bitcoin a p2p e-cash for a reason.

If they are not buying into the idea, then leave them, you just hold on to what you believe and take it strong, when the time comes, they will see if with their own eyes when they see you driving that car of your dream and then having that house of your dream also. In as much as we want cryptocurrency to grow to every part of the world, we will still have many people that will reject it because of lack of understanding, except maybe it is being imposed on them by regulations or by law.

Let’s just keep creating the awareness as much as we can for those who would believe it and also have need for its usage, because not still everyone will use it as payment system because of lack of technology understanding also. In my own family, only the younger ones is interested and the elderly ones there are zero.

To tell you the truth my family was very doubting at the beginning and did not understand it at first (even though they still don't fully get it but way better than before) but after receiving some gift from me from my 2017 profits ;D, it was easy for them to understand with a little bit of explanation, it is very hard to convince people about crypto and blockchain but some eventually do come around. 

This had happened in my family. I remember once when i first got money from bitcoin through trading and my family assumed that i was committing a crime. They assume that I gamble online or money laundry and various other negative assumptions. At that time, I always explained about cryptocurrency, But all of my explanations were rejected by my family by assuming that bitcoin is illegal (because indeed in my country even now bitcoin is still illegal). And i also try to explain cryptocurrency to my family every day until the moment when my family sees news on television related to cryptocurrency. Now i am happy because my family can accept bitcoin and accept all my activities related to cryptocurrency

After I told about crypto to my parents and family. They look enthusiastic / Because you know that BTC has fantastic prices. At that time they were a little confused, why would something without physical appearance have a high price. And now almost every day my mother sees the price of Bitcoin through a portfolio application.

Gambling.

Fortunately none of them claim gambling is a sin.

Keep looking for profits in crypto over time your mother will understand about it or try to explain a little about crypto because my family previously thought that crypto was a suspicious and scam investment. And so far after I always get income in the form of Bitcoin they support me.

Maybe you can give more proofs to your family about btc? like let them see the history of bitcoin, especially on 2017 where bitcoin is being so high. And tell them there are many people who can be success from btc and other cryptocurrency. If they don't believe, then let them be and do what you want. That way, you can prove them that they are wrong by showing results, not only words.
My family never mind about me being into crypto because the first time they know, there is already results so they believe i can really earn here so they support me doing this.

Well in my case my family is quite amazed on how I'm earning from cryptocurrency, my family is happy that i can earn freely at home but i don't think they actually like to get into crypto because when i try to discuss it to them they can't understand or don't have interest on it.

You should try and convincing them the more because I face the same situations with my family sometimes back in 2017. My elder brother said “it is a Ponzi scheme” and my mother agreed with him. But they were surprised that after the boom of December 2017 I was able to sell part of my holding and I was able to bought a land in our state capital! That is when all of them started liking bitcoin and investing in it.

Most of the family doubted me to be a cypto and they thought it would be better for me to work in general, because being a crypto was a waste of time.

But with hard work and prayer I am sure and believe that one day I will make my family happy from the results of being a crypto. :)

They need to understand more before they judge and conclude that crypto has no future.
It's good that you have your brother who has the same interest as you do, personally I'm hoping to be in your situation as having someone who have the same interest as you will someone give an ease in this rough journey since you can talk to someone, think of a possible strategy that would work, like they said, 2 heads are better than one.

My family didn't really know that I was earning Bitcoin and thought that I am only wasting my time on the computer and phone. When I told them that I am going to buy a guitar for myself using Bitcoin, they thought it was some kind of scam until my guitar arrived. They still don't get the concept and I am sick of explaining so it is just an online wallet with fiat on it as far as they're concerned.

I avoid this kind of conversation
I already tried to explain about BTC, but it's hard to explain to a person that doen's have a brief understanding about internet, security, math, networks, projects...
For some people BTC is just a pyramid or a imaginary coin, just a toy, but it's hard to understand the real power of BTC and all possibilities

In crypto currency everybody must not believe you in some of your explanation including your family and friends, because there are so many scammers especially anything that has to do with online (internet). so even in my own family and some of my friends that i introduced to crypto majority of them did not believed me till date so i decided to keep to myself since i know it is legit. so i will advice that you will have to keep doing it alone since they did not believe or understand bitcoin.

I don't have any problem on my family even if they know already that i'm into crypto because i was very open to them ever since i started here.They doubted me at first but when i explained to them about crypto,seems that they tried to understand me and supported me all the way.

The thinking or perception is about the family one founds himself. For me, its just that everybody does not care most importantly those who could have some say especially my parents. But for my siblings, they are more open minded to technology because they are millenials ready to access new technology. While other people have used crypto as a means to perpetrate crime, it has equally been used to uplift the lives of people which is the part that needs to announced to people who are ready to express some misgivings about dealing with crypto...

They believed more when the rally of 2017 was happening than they do now.

It's hard to convince family and relatives about cryptocurrency because it's something new for them, it's better to explain about withdrawing money from the bounty than depositing it to coins because it's easier for ordinary people to understand that cryptocurrency can make money and then provide other learning about cryptocurrency

What my parents think : I might be into some illegal work and hence they advice me to stay away from illegal things
What my brother think : I am into some get rich quick scheme
What I think                : I am using a revolutionary technology that will potentially change the banking and financial sectors globally.
What I actually do       : Take part in campaigns to earn money and reinvest

actually the best way to explain and convince someone is to use show off. you're right, keep making a profit dude, buy what you want using the profits in crypto and show your mom what you have got, usually they will change their perspective after they see it, because I've tried it :)

All my family knew is I'm working online and not engage in any cryptocurrency trading but some of them including some of my relatives knew about the cryptocurrencies. Some of them believes that virtual currencies are scam and they got their information from the news where scammers are being arrested by the authorities. I'm still trying explain to them that cryptocurrencies are not scam and they are use only by the scammers to steal money from their victims.

Before, my family and relatives thinks it is also a bullshit, but as time goes by they keep silent on what I'm doing.  it is because even I don't have a  regular job, I can still able to help them in terms of financials. Where my profit was more bigger than to their own working company.
And now my relatives and family knows that what I did now was really helpful to me and its not a waste of time either.

Gladly, I don't have to argue or debate with them because my parents don't ask too much about cryptocurrency. All they know is I am trying to work online as before I did in the past, but I always explain what and how I work. Sometimes I show them how much money I can make from crypto currency, and I buy them some product to make them feel that I don't waste my time in front of a computer. They now support me to work in cryptocurrency and thanks to God, and I can help their finance too, although not much.

My wife does not mind and perceives trading as I do - as a hobby

It's part of the challenge to be judge negatively when you are focusing on something new that is not fully accepted by the government.
We are in the early stage of crypto where regulation is not yet strong and adoption is low, it's just like you are convincing them with something that will be valuable in the future but they are too negative to accept changes, don't worry mate, you are doing right, you are just sharing the opportunity, so if they won't believe, it's only their loss not yours.


You don't have to do it all the time, once you explain to them, that's already enough, if they are open minded, they can do their own results.
Don't waste too much time, let them come to you and ask you.

i didnt explain cryptos  to them but they were the ones that approach  me and ask me if what im doing  .

i explain that im trading and doing crypto activities . the good part is that they are easily believe and convinced on what im saying and infact they also want to learn because they also want to earn just like me   . take not that my parents arent techy   .  you just only need to explain cryptos in a simplified way so that they wont be confused 

I was once informed a family member about me planning to invest in crypto but was told not to because they thinks it’s some sort of a scam and that i’m wasting my time investing in it and that was when I regretted not investing that time because I missed the bull run but few years after a coworker introduced me to this forum and that it made be understand crypto even more and went on to invest and now I don’t have any regrets that I invested in crypto and I still didn’t informed my parents about it because they aren’t open minded about crypto, so better to keep it to myself.

As for my family, they understand me well and support. Moreover, recently they all started to think about joining the crypto market. Although they are still hesitating whether to do it or not, this is the best evidence of one thing: Bitcoin will be accepted everywhere finally.
We do not have to wait for too long until all understand that it is a perfect currency.

Then it would be a holy gambling lol, so as I thought also when bitcoin was first introduced to me and my brothers, we all thought that it was another ponzi scheme, but I think the issue usually starts from the person introducing the system of bitcoin, they usually lay emphasis on the huge reward of it than to lay emphasis on its utility, they were made to first of all make them understand it as a digital currency as a whole, but one that usually come with rewards.

How would some imagine that a bitcoin that was less than $1 had turned to over $11k now and they would not see it as a scam or a Ponzi scheme, of courts they will see it, but it is now our duty to let them know that it is not a Ponzi scheme but a payment system that has been created to provide decentralization to its users.

For the most part, my family has been supportive, outside of one cousin who sat me down and explained to be how Bitcoin was a dangerous ponzi and that I should listen to the founder of the bank he works for and dump all my crypto and move into safer investments, like strip malls.

A part of my family plays the socially acknowledged lottery regularly and they didn't like the Bitcoin and let me feel it. But after I told them it was like gambling to get rich with a much higher chance than with the lottery, they finally accepted it.

Same here, man. Actually, it's just my parents who think that it's not kinda real (but my two brothers, esp my youngest brother, is very supportive.) They usually tell me, whenever they see me on the phone posting in this forum, that I'm just wasting my time here and should just be focusing on other important things. Well, I don't expect them to accept this, though. If they don't want to believe or support me doing this, it's totally fine with me. They're still my parents. And one thing's for sure: I will share with them the fruits of my labor here. :)

For me, at the first time that I tell them, they ask if it's safe? Because they said that they read some article saying bitcoin is illegal. But after explaining to them what is crypto and telling that I'm with crypto and making this as my part-time job they support me at this because it gives me extra cash and my another source of income. Also, helping my parents to lessen their financial problems. They also get interested in crypto because why don't you give shoot if you can earn money in a good way right? :)

Think that by now you should realise that anything new, especially anything that completely turns everything old onto its head, anything that even will need a lot of thought and understanding (That 9 pages of Bitcoin white paper really needs digesting especially for non-English speakers)... best not to just dump on people in one go.

I haven't in the past few years talked to anyone directly about Bitcoin. When asked, I do say a little, more as is asked, but never volunteering information.

My standard line to my family, who ask a lot about what I do with my freelancing now? Financial technology.

And it's not... entirely wrong.

What does decentralised finance mean to anyone anyway? Or trustless money?

My father thinks it's just a waste of time and I need to find a company job even though my salary is higher doing freelance jobs on the internet
than what I will get if I take company. my sister on the other hand. my sister is the one who introduced me to bitcoin and this forum. and the reason
why I became a freelancer and a bitcoin enthusiast.

In my case, at first my family is skeptical when I opened up about investing in bitcoin but when they saw that i’m really interested and when I explained it to them what it is exactly then they came to realize that it’s a good investment and they are very supportive to me now in investing in crypto and my sibling is also planning to invest too. I think it is more of educating your family member about crypto in a simple manner.

Bitcoin is simply known as Cryptocurrency, The business need to have courage to start with, in my family i was the first person to start the business and them keep telling me is waste of time and resource, after my little way of understanding explanation, not until bitcoin hit $19,000 plus, which i have invested early and show them the proved, how bitcoin can convert to local currency, and also my first super car with a new home, i bought and currently still have more investment...

back to my parents' way of thinking and point of view, I also sometimes have difficulty explaining what crypto is, sometimes they also complain whether this is useful or not, all I can do is prove it to them, then slowly they will understand, what our results are from crypto if there are already results and continue to produce well they support but if they don't they will think that we did something in vain

In my case, at first they thought I was dealing with illegal things. lol
My mother advised me to stay away because I might get caught by the authorities.
Of course, she didn't know how crypto really works. She might have heard negative things about it.
But later on, she realized that it is not what she was thinking before, especially when she learned that I can send the money to my bank account.
Because if it is really illegal, I would not send the money to my bank account. Sometimes it is really funny how people react the first time they hear about crypto.

A good article indeed for those whom for 40.But still the end of the article is sad.,,Cryptocurrency  is a software protocol that lets you send money over the internet,,and it's all?If cryptocurrencies were introduced to me like this, I would never use them in my life.I agree my parents is difficult for me to explain what cryptocurrencies are, but I am happy to tell my peers about cryptocurrencies as much as possible and as interesting as possible. Reaction and attitude have all different.Someone admires and someone is simply neutral.

Some people take longer to fully understand things, especially if they're initially skeptic. I'm sure sooner or later they'll hear or read about it somewhere and want know more. Your job is to be there when they have question.

Some of my friends are skeptic about making money from online, and once I talk about bitcoin to them, they don't have a passion, and they let the chance to buy bitcoin at a low price. But in my family, although they don't know much about bitcoin, they let me to choose what I want to do, and after they knew that I am trying to make money from cryptocurrency, they only say "Oh, that's good for you, so you now can make money, we hope you can get huge money from that".

Yep, that is like a new power to me, and that makes me to feel better and want to earn more money.

With your opinion. My opinion is mixed. I am sharing the same opinion with you. Sharing it with family. Negative talk all the time. Always on the lookout for new things.

My family don't know much about the power of crypto yet but most of my friend did as regard the ways it work and how it can change the world but much are not done by them in order world to make effort in joining the market,

It never to late though but I wish I did see someone how had explain this to me in those days that bitcoin was very little in dollar cos I got to know it back then in 2013 when it was around $13-20 but never do a research to know if it will worth today what it is and I believe it just start it move .

I've entered into Cryptocurrency when it is already in the mainstream so I don't have a problem explaining it to them and besides, they saw that I'm buying my own things, using Cryptocurrency paying my bills from my bounty and trading Cryptocurrency I have a very supportive family and I'm glad.

wife: "i dont understand it, seems like its illegal, i dont get it whatever"

   My family are not all in favor of my online work through cryptocurrency because they think it negative like it was just a scam and i can't earn money through this work. My one brother are always said that it is not true but when i earn money through bitcoin they start believing if what i am doing until now.

They initially thought it was some scam or something. When they saw the prices rising they were kinda impressed but at the same time thought it was fishy. It's hard explaining the system, especially even I don't understand most of the blockchain tech but I just tell them that it is a currency that people use and that it's no different from having foreign reserves.

That is at least understandable to most people. Where I am most people have a relative or know someone who have a relative abroad so the idea of storing dollars, euros and yens for selling later is not, erm, foreign to them.

Crypto for me it is a part-time job. So I don't want to let my family know about this job. My family only knew my main job was as a programmer at a technology company. I joined the cryptocurrency because of my passion and desire to get rich. The money I earned from electronic money I sent to the bank to take care of the future.

It is not easy to provide information like you said about crypto, because until now there are still many who do not believe it. moreover we know that a year ago many projects failed, so it's even harder to explain.
but now that crypto has begun to improve, many already understand and try to participate and invest.

In my experience, the only people that would have problem with cryptocurrency are some of our family members that are not learned enough to understand the crypto technology, and then, even if they dint understand, but they will surely understand the language of money, provided you are bringing some money to the table and tipping them,, they will sure believe in your job if it has nothing to do with stealing, killing of defrauding people, because not everyone that you see here in cryptocurrency came with a clean heart.

I didn't see any reason why they should have any problem with it provided it is yielding you result and I am sure that by now, anyone that really knows how to work around crypto would have seen some gains that will be glaring to them and make them support cryptocurrency.

my family was very skeptical some years ago, asked me often how bitcoin is doing and so on cause they heard a lot about in the media. now they accept it and trust me what i'm doing and that i believe in bitcoin for the longterm. 

A good way of planning your future is to keep pushing forward to learn more about on how to enhance your chance to earn more than what you already getting, keeping your main job and let your family to be feed by the money you earned from it then every crypto you earned will be your savings for your future.

I don't really have a family and I don't tell random people what I do but those who know are curious and want to know more.

Most people think that if you're an investor or a trader working from home you're saying it because you can't get a proper job and that you're a lazy loser. I only care what my friends think so it doesn't bother me.

When I joined crypto, my family's response was very good and supportive because crypto could help my family's economy.
but they also always suggest or remind me to be careful using it even though they don't know more about crypto and they believe that joining crypto is the best choice to help my family's economy.

I kept my cryptocurrency investment away from my parent because they don't know anything about crypto and  I know it will be very hard for me to explain to them for now.

My family kept warning me and asking me stop wasting my time on the internet and find a "more reasonable job". They even had fears that I would end up being a scammer. I tried to make them understand but BTC is nothing like that big tree behind our house which everyone can see, touch and feel. So I told them that I have stopped meanwhile I a still here trying to earn some good money through BTC.

Hi.. Sir,

Nice topic , my experience if I discuss with my close friend or my Family (if they are not working at institution Bank or Finance) they so enthusiasm
since bitcoin is revolutionary system decentralize. but if I discuss with someone have background working at bank they said bitcoin is bubble or scam.

I thought bitcoin is like sunlight for vampire banking.

They still don't understand blockchain and importance of limited supply. But they see my enthusiasm about Bitcoin and they trust me so two members of my family already own Bitcoin and ETH. Another good consequence of me exposing the deficiencies of fiat, is that one friends started to invest in gold (beside Bitcoin). I think gold is closer to Bitcoin than fiat is to Bitcoin.

educated people will understand and some who dont have interest will not care about what bitcoin is my family and friends didn't have interest so they dont bother what it is 

My parents dont know about it but my bf is persuading me to sell everything that btc will be 13-15k

My family very well welcomed the first time I conveyed information about crypto. In fact they fully support and say that crypto activity will be an asset of the future.

My parents and my two in-laws are the ones who don't like the focus on crypto, it's very difficult to explain to them that crypto is the future even though I've already made a few thousand dollars from crypto.  :D

fortunately, I have a wife who is very supportive of my decision to focus on crypto and say "as long as it is profitable and not against the law, then I will definitely support you".. love her so much  :)

i love  all the cryptocoins....  :D   make  easy   all the  payments ways

I'm lucky because my family always supports my interests and investments, all of them. But do you guys really care about others opinion about your money and your way of investing it? Come on, it's not worth your time.

Most of my family were initially skeptical about the whole cryptocurrency because they don't understand how one can make money out of thin air, but they are okay as long as it wasn't illegal and i asured them it's perfectly legal and it's just like buying gold tokens and collctibles and waiting for it to rise in profits.

Losing money to investment can really be so painful to anyone that it has affected, the level of pain depends on how much was committed, and the financial status of the said investor at that time, but I would still put some blames on your friends because they did not understand the crytpomarket very well before they started investing.

I am sure by now, anyone that wants to invest in any crypto will ensure they do their proper research and then also out their money in safe coins like bitcoin, Ethereum, and these top coins, imagine they had invested in some of these coins, do you think they will still not have their money intact by now even if there is a drop in value, but they probably listen to all those new projects that offers them what is too good to be true.

Man, that's the whole reason why bitcoin hasn't been adopted more widely than it has--people are generally fine with using their debit cards, cash, or phone to pay for things, plus the places where you buy everything generally don't accept bitcoin anyway.  It's a legitimate point. 

My family knows about my interest in bitcoin, but they have no interest in it themselves--probably for the above reason, i.e., they see no reason to go out of their way to buy a form of money that's hard to spend.  They think of it as my little eccentric hobby I guess, and that's totally fine with me.  Hell, I tend to think of crypto more as an investment than a currency anyway. 

On a related note, the few friends I have also feel the same way.  I think I've met about three human beings in the real world who've actually owned any bitcoin.  A lot of them have heard about it, but in my experience most people have never played around with it themselves.

Although am not the type that know how to explain technology to people because am not a teacher, so, my family wouldn't ask such question in respect to cryptocurrency and even though they did I will still explain to them for them to take part on the early adopters. At first they will be shock because of how the technology work but will not accuse me of anything bad like other families doese when they are unexpected money on their  children's.

My family has been supportive about it. They do encourage me to invest more on altcoin. Cryptocurrency has been a safe heaven for me, and am paying my family bills with it

hard to explain to someone who never knew about crypto, even my family was very opposed to me for reasons of fear of losing when investing, but after 2017 where a good year for bitcoin holders when prices were very high, I took a lot of profits that's where I provided evidence to my family until finally they changed their initial thoughts and believed in me.
prove real evidence for people who don't trust you.

My family (wife) considered it nonsense when I told her about BTC in 2017. I explained to her how the system works to benefit. But he told me, it's better to invest with gold than BTC, because of the level of money security. At present, he has begun to believe in BTC.

Back in 2013/2014: thought I was weird/an idiot
Now: Hate that they didn't listen to me :)

They really don't belief the whole system and anytime I try to explain to them they are like hey there is no free lunch anywhere.. I just smile and keep my mouth shut and hope the digital world turn my life around for them to see.

They like the idea because they understand it's the money of the future, but when i talk with them about the coin, they don't understand it at all. I try to explain it, but always when we get to the 'The backup of bitcoin is nothing' they lose all interest and start calling it a scam.

This is a total opposite of what my family thinks about crypto. At first, they seem to doubt it if this is legit or not but when i finally explained to them, they never doubted it anymore. I always let them know about my current income from crypto and i think they come to support me all the way. Of course they knew in the first place that crypto has been our best source of income nowadays because it gives more than i received from my own day job salary. For now, my family is very optimistic about crypto and its blockchain technology.

I'm grateful because my family is very supportive on what I'm doing right now, In my work in Bitcoin, even though I'm not pretty good on explaining Bitcoin to them but they listened carefully to me. They encourage me to work smarter so I can earn more money, and lastly they believed that Bitcoin will bring our family to a better life that gives me inspirations.

Luckily for me, i did not encountered any problem with the whole family with regards to my involvement in cryptocurrency. Come to think of it, they were the ones who have persuaded me to go through it. Simply because they've saw how cryptocurrency changed the style of lives of my student nephews who happened to be the first to learn of this forum.
But sometimes whenever i had this thought that some of my hard earned coins turned out to be worthless because the projects didn't do well, i feel very frustrated - that i just would like to quit. But nonetheless i'm still here and being optimistic that in time - things will turn out quite well. For the family.

Well as of me , I only discuss Bitcoin and crypto currency with people close to me since many them  have now know n what crypto currency is all about and we now only discuss market fluctuation or reaction issue and how we can make profit from trading.

My mother was always worried when I joined the Cryptocurrency community because national television still posted negative information about it. My mom was always worried that everything was illegal, and I could get arrested for joining Crypto and owning it. But I think I keep participating in Crypto because everything is incognito, so it's safe.

I could only tell to my wife until now, because we live together and share everything, and she also understand Internet and digital technologes.
She couldn't understand completely and is still skeptic but at least she trust me and waiting to see what will happen :)
My mother is to old and never used Internet,other relatives also and with brother I didn't try yet.
 

My family thinks that lm in crypto now is lm rich. They think lve got a lot of money always. Ive no much savings but I survive in crypto for the needs of my kids because l really want to give the needs of my kids. We all know that its not easy to have a income here by now because of the market is down. But still have income to supply my daily needs. Crypto really theres a life in here.

At first my family told me that most of what Im doing is a scam and I should stop doing it since they've heard it on news, also some people are also talking about it being a scam and I might go to jail because of it. Its been years since that and I am still here, right now they don't really hate crypto, they just trusted me that much and told me I know what I am doing.

I repeatedly explained to them to be easily understood that Bitcoin is a digital currency.
What is clear is that they are interested in the price of Bitcoin which can be above the average of a digital asset. In essence, every time a family asks, I just explain the basics, the rest I suggest they do their own research on the internet.

Initially, my parents were doubtful about cryptocurrency due to some article they read which published negative attributes about crypto. They thought cryptocurrency had connections with fraud activities but as I took time to explain the basic principles and how crypto works, cryptocurrency has now been the major means for sending funds to other relatives outside the country.

Talking about bitcoin to my family is pointless, either because they are internet blind or because of their ideology, when they ask about what I do with cryptocurrency, I also explain in detail but, not the enthusiasm that I get but only rejection with a brief explanation like this.

There will come a time to mankind, at which time a person who does not have gold and silver, s/he will not be troubled by life or there will come a time to mankind, where it was of no use other than gold (Dinar) and silver (Dirham). This indeed refers to the destruction of the fiat money system. If fiat money system can be destroyed because out of value, what about digital assets ? (that's they are thinking).

When compared to any medium of exchange gold and silver are relatively stable, my family closed the discussion quickly along with advice immediately exchange all my cryptocurrency for gold (dinar) or silver (dirham).

But I do not care what they are thinking  ;D

In the beginning, I knew cryptocurrency, my family doesn't care with I did and they don't give any opinion about cryptocurrency. But then after 2 years, I get deeper in the cryptocurrency, and I can earn some money from crypto, they ask me about the result after being involved in the cryptocurrency. I explain to them that the result is good, I can get something that I never thought before, although, at that time, I don't earn so much money, it's enough for myself.

Then they still watching me on what I did on the cryptocurrency, and slowly, I can earn more money, so they ask me again how I get that money? Is it hard or not? So I explain them once again, that is not too difficult as they imagine because we can search many ways to collect and save more coins from the market, or we can get it by free by doing something. I explain that too with my friends, and some of them now can make their money like me.

Well my family thinks I'm just wasting my time and effort when i told them that i am into cryptocurrency, i can't blame them because they don't know anything about it even if i tried to explain it to them they couldn't just get it. I'll just do it on my own and will prove them someday that it's worth it.

My family respect me what I'm doing now in crypto, as long as they know that I'm not involve in any of the syndicate group that would be fine for them. And they've saw how crypto changed my lifestyle, especially if they need sometimes a helping hand, at once I gave a support to them because of crypto. Though, I'm the only person in my family who did crypto even up to the present.

That's the right thing to do, show them proof for them to believe but hope it's not too late for them to start.
We are lucky that we started investing in crypto at this stage, though bitcoin has already achieved a lot of success in the past, but it has not achieved it's ultimate success yet, having said that, I think we should also put in mind that bitcoin and the entire crypto market has still more rooms to grow.

Our family could be our critic but they are also our best admirers if we prove them wrong.
Who would not want to make money and earn a decent amount, of course we all want to earn but the timing is important, people who know and believe early will most likely have more success compared to those who came in only because bitcoin is already very popular.

At first of course there’s argumentation specially when the time comes i decided to put some amount into bitcoin because for my wife this is not necessary and just a risk for our funds
But as time goes by and I always show her about how the money moves finally I convinced here already but not until 2018 comes and the market turns a bloody place for our money.but to make the story short since second quarter of this year I can find her smiling again everytime I mentioned crypto 😂

my family thinks that crypto is an online business. Well, they don't really know about its development, because they only know the general things. but, I think they also support that development, especially when they know that it can be exchanged fiat, and really worthly.

They will understand next year when the bull run of bitcoin starts and they see you buying all those things you had wished for out of thin air, and then they will ask for the source of income and would want to listen to you then.

I remembered that I first introduced my brother to bitcoin, and he ignored it totally which was even before 2017, then bitcoin was still around $1000, well I left him because he insulted me that  I should stop wasting my time on all these ponzi scheme which I tried explaining to him of bitcoin being a currency but everything fell into a deaf hear, till date, I am  still the one using the crypto money I got to fund his schools fees and he is still filed with regret of not ever listening to me when I told him about it, which he would have been the one to pay his school fees by himself.

Everyone might have different story about this, I guest most of people will behave like my family when they first hear about bitcoin, which is to underestimate bitcoin. All they need is proof then they will admit that bitcoin is not a trivial thing. My family attitudes toward bitcoin change to be more positive when the money from the conversion of bitcoin to fiat was shown to them. Now they really support me to use bitcoin as currency and investment. Maybe for muslim community will be more strict about this issue things abput halal and haram are highly considered. My personal opinion as a muslim is bitcoin is just like other money, things that can make it haram is the way to earn it, if  bitcoin is earned by stealing or frauding, of course it will be haram.

As is the case in my family environment even my friends do not believe. But I don't just give them explanations about Bitcoin, I also provide evidence. The evidence I give is the result of my hard work in the crypto industry.

My family and friends are of course surprised with some of the things I bought and the savings that I have. So they believed in that which I explained was true.

I once told them about the crypto market, saying that the world is changing, the internet is thriving, the world needs these cryptocurrencies. But they said that I was crazy, just the no real money and this is just a form of lottery bet to make money. They do not allow me to enter the market

My parents allow me into crypto because with crypto I can buy anything that I want and also I can give my parents money  :D
But some of my neighbors thinking what I do is doing a Gambling and I definitely don't care what they have said to me...  :P

That am really wasting my time and resources, nothing good will ever come out from crypto again. Crypto glorious days are passed gone, now crypto is full of flop ideas that will yield to no earnings at the end. I should stop crypto entirely and concentrate on other meaningful things

My family believes in my decision about the fact that I pulled the trigger out with friends and colleagues, they hardly believed that BTC would succeed and they considered it unrealistic, even though Although I made it clear to my friends that it is good to participate in cryptocurrencies, they rejected my arguments in any way.

Don't bother explaining it to them if you already did that a lot of times, they don't need that, they are asking for proof and you are not obligated on showing one since it is your own business, not them, but once you show them that you are really earning good stuff through cryptocurrency, they will shut their mouth and will start asking how you do it. They will tell you that you are awesome and all other sugary words they could tell for you to give them money or whatever.

In short, don't try to impress them or explain to them what's going on, it's their opinion and that is not what matters, what matter is that you are keep on going even though the market right now is so fucked up.

They were angry because I invested my years of savings in Bitcoin, they thought Bitcoin was a scam and only fools believed in Bitcoin's development, I was just silent and Hope Bitcoin will continue to rise in price for many years to come.

I have no problem with my family, I am supporting my family with the income I've got from trading, bounty hunting, and investment, in fact, I'm teaching my family how to use Cryptocurrency, it's a good opportunity for your children, because they can make make a better life here if they can go this early.

When i was involved in the crypto sphere my parents said that I am an idiot! hahaha
However, I was able to earn a good living by spending only $1k. Now I'm just doing trading left my job in the medical industry 1 year ago

Sorry to hear that mate but atleast you have a crypto family here with us 😍

Sad today but my family won’t say the same thing instead they are in altcoins lol and I am the only one who’s diversified my folio from bitcoin and other altcoins.

Maybe what she thinks is gambling are the ways how we put our money on this because this is still gambling to risk our money without assurance

My best friend told me about Bitcoin in 2017. That time the BTC price was small and I did not really want to try. However, he convinced me and we started working on ICO project as SMM managers and got a paid in crypto. After a strong BTC jump, we boosted our money and I realized that this is a great area for work and earning and now I'm here =)

This is actually an interesting topic!

I mean, in the past two (2) years ever since I started my bitcoin journey in this forum, along with my countless stories and updates about bitcoin to my family, they still think that bitcoin is another 'internet scheme' that I use to make money online. Most of them view my work as something similar to what networking is. The irony is that I never convinced them or asked them to join me but due to their ignorance they still see my work as shady.

Nevertheless, I have friends who believe and know about the existence of cryptocurrencies (bitcoin specifically) in the market and they started investing already.


When I first started here in the forum, each bitcoin was priced around $3,800-4,000 depending on the market situation. I thought that its price was consistent on that range until it skyrocketed up to $19,000 on December of the same year. Luckily, my investments were profitable and I quickly withdrew as many coins that was available at that time.

Initially when I first to venture into cryptocurrency space,  my family thought I was into a ponzi scheme because all I do was to buy some coins and relax and watch it grow, they were like,  that's how ponzi scheme works,  you've gotta do nothing,not until I had to explain several times without numbers to them before they could agree

My relatives also do not understand my investment in bitcoin. But really, I don't see anything strange about it. Bitcoin is still a new, unexplored phenomenon for most people, and they can't begin to trust it no matter how hard I try. I hope that in the future the society will study more information about cryptocurrency.

I am almost in the same shoes that you are stepping my relatives doesn't understand what is crypto if i tried to explain it to them they weren't that too excited to know that's why i just stop talking about of what i was doing since they really don't understand it in the first place.

Although my parents do not understand cryptocurrencies, they trust me. So when I told them that I had invested all my money in bitcoin, they just asked me about it and asked if I was sure about this investment. I'm sure! And so they approved of my decision, for which I am grateful to them.

It was with mixed feeling when I got into the space, after recent participation in ponzi scheme. Fortunately it was in the year of bull run with so much profit, one cant afford letting some know how the money was made because it was like a bet win, sadly the knowledge of the space was not enough to manage the profit. I know better with the complete cycle of the space and know how to position myself for next bull run.

When somebody hears you are involved with crypto it is usually 2 sided.

For the pros, its usually good that someone is taking the time to learn how blockchain works and contributes by doing some developmental work and getting ahead in their education. Its also beneficial for someone to learn about trading and the markets so when they mature they can invest their retirements into retirements funds or other blue chip stocks.

For the cons, its the bad rap that bitcoin had in the past when dealing with drugs and scams. Basically everybody has heard about Silk road and associated it with Bitcoin and crypto and made it look negatively. There are also all these scams happening where people are sent fake tax letters demanding payment in BTC or else prison time awaits. And the media usually picks this up and it makes bitcoin look negatively to the general public. Same with those ransomware viruses that were big about a year ago. They infected businesses and forced people to pay in BTC or else get all their files formatted. The media picked this up and everybody assumed bitcoin was used for illegal activities.

Hopefully we will survive on this current struggles as these days became much harder for bull run to initiate further. Meanwhile, if someone of my family thought badly for getting involved with crypto it wouldn't be a big deal for me. We will see how the future will be, and I'll prove them all wrong when green market will commence soon.

I am investing my time only because my family might not be happy if I invest money because I am not sure about the future of bitcoin. That's whay I am starting here at bitcointalk. I want to gain more experience through reading posts. So if I earn from here I will try to do other things like holding and mining. Our generation today is attached to technologies unlike the old generation they still prefer the old ways.

None of my family really understand crypto and whenever I say I'm investing in Bitcoin (or altcoins), they always think it is some kind of ponzi scheme that will soon crash down. I have had bad experience with ponzi scheme in the past, so I understand their apprehension. I have tried to explain to them, but I think they aren't ready to open their mind to it yet, lol.

My family thinks what i am doing is temporary and Bitcoin is just an investment that is good for a short period of time.
Although they know that what i have now came from my Bitcoin related jobs and investments.

They supports me thanks to that I am in this situation, they say as long as it does not violate any rules that could put me in jail and give our family names problems then it is a go. Addition to that I make extra income out of it so it doubled the benefit for me. One day my father got serious on how does the blockchain works but when I told him the basics he got confused and surrendered, maybe I will wait for to come to me again and ask about it again, but I think it would happen if being in the crypto would make me rich.

They are still following the "...don't understand what the point is of imaginary magic internet money..." just like so many people out there. However, I believe (like a lot of people on this forum) that it's just a matter of time before more people start to understand and easily adopt crypto into their everyday lives. Likely this will happen without them even knowing it.

Well every person has different point of view and different opinion. Since they do not know about cryptocurrencies don't tell it again to your relatives because if they go into it for sure you are the one to be blame once they lose their money. But the good thing about it if they see you become successful in crypto industries I'm pretty sure they will become interested. Most of the time the negative side is the only one noticed by the others.

Same here with me, crypto has been more like my full time job and it has been paying me. There are several opportunities that I have seen in cryptocurrency, some are Long-term, some are short term, trading is still the most popular opportunity that I have seen in cryptocurrency, and the good thing about impacting the trading knowledge that we have on our younger ones, is that they will always use it at any time to generate money, and it can also be useful at other markets.

I didn’t start cryptocurrency trading now, I started with Forex trading and the experience that I gathered in Forex is what I took to the cryptocurrency and has been useful to me till date. Any understanding family would really give all the supports that is necessary for you to trade successfully.

Well, I was questioned a lot during the initial stages when I first joined crypto and told my family to invest in it. They thought I was now involved in a scam activity because they had read negative articles from the media and government on how cryptocurrency can be used to launder money. But today, they understand the principles with which the market works and are the first ones to notify me on when to buy more. ;D

You are not alone facing the same issue. My family still believed that investing, promoting and engaging in the crypto space is totally waste of time. They have advised me severally to go and find something else to do, but the end will surely justify the race.

Wow. Good for you! Hope all families are open to this kind of emerging technology and not think of it as a complete waste of time. You surely feel good that there are many people close to you who have the same feeling whenever btc's price go up or down, right? I just think that having somebody who supports and understands you in what you're doing (especially crypto) is such a blessing. So do you guys bond and talk about price predictions? ;D

Well, at first, when I told them that I am trying to enter the crypto world, specifically bitcoin world they didn't believe that it will really work. they always say that it was just a scam but when I started to earn a crypto they pushed me to learn more about it, how will I profit in it. 

It was exactly my family, who convinced me that I should not stop dealing with Bitcoin. They believe in a good scenario when humanity will gradually come to the use of Bitcoin and refuse national currencies, as well as the functions of the states themselves. Such a peaceful transition to the new economy is possible, but it may take 30, 50, or even more years. Our kids might see it.

They don't like it, they don't believe in btc, think it's scam coin.

That's their first impression that is why we should tell them and clarify their doubts. We know more about crypto and we don't care what they are saying as long as they never bothered us what we do. It soon they will realize it and clear their minds, only we give them time to think of it.
It is not a problem for us either they believe or not, crypto is not a scam but sadly people used its name to scam others.

Great, and we should them results too, usually, people believes when they see proof, and that is good results if we speak of crypto.
My family does not even bother to ask me anymore, I told them once already but I never told everything as I know they won't be able to absorb everything and crypto is quite complicated for an average person since it's not widely accepted yet.
