I'm relatively new to bitcoins in general. About a month ago I started getting into them. My father-in-law who works for a computer company found out last week that I was getting a miner and has now convinced my wife that this is a scam and that I'll be helping to destroy encryption. Granted he didn't know about bitcoins before last week. I tried my best to explain to him that he's incorrect but with very little luck.
Any ideas, or articles or sites that I can show him to make him realize that he's incorrect in this area and make my home life much better than it is currently?
Lolz, thats the worst thing that can happen. But since you said your father-in-law is working for a computer company, he should be able to understand Bitcoin right? How would he think its a scam?
