Don't tire yourself up. Some people are just stone headed. No matter how many times you explain things, they won't get it. Even if they understand it, they will always have suspicions (i have tooi but that doesn't prevent me using it) There is only one way for them to understand what bitcoin is and why it is trustful: They should be in a situation where they have no choice but use bitcoins. Once it happens, they will undestand

First things first is that I would let my father experience how to use bitcoins first and that afterwards, let him see the good and the bad side of bitcoin. Actually, it's really hard to change one's mind especially if they are really accustomed to using one thing for the course of their lifetime, and letting them use new tech is like alien to them, so you need to have patience and give your understanding if they could not cope with it at first. For me, I'm just gonna give him a few bitcoins to start with and let him spend it to whatever he pleases, explain to him what bitcoin is and let him decide from thereafter.

There's no much to talk if he don't want to hear...
Any kind of currency is used to ilegal purpose, tell to your dad stop using dollar notes because people buy crack with it.
Or just hide your wallet and have fun.

Here is the story: My dad just found out that I am storing bitcoin and he try to prevent me from using this crypto. This is absolutely the worst situation I have ever had since I started used Bitcoin. I am living in the country which bad guys abuse Bitcoin for illegal activities. Therefore, most of the people here who do not have a proper knowledge about bitcoin believe bitcoin as a stupid, dummy coin or even MLM. My dad is one of them. Any solution to solve this problem ? It is quite hard though because I am still a teenager so it is extremely difficult to persuade him Thanks in advance
My family did the same to me. It is quite understandable that they have the inability to think forward in some cases, because they are taught to earn money from 9-5, save it in the bank and trust no investments. If he doesn't believe this bitcoin thing, then so be it. It's his loss.

You really just need to show him bitcoin's steady growth since the beginning. Ever since it was created, it's value has slowly but surely increased over the years. Show him how reliable in can be compared to government currencies!

Yo black, in most countries they're using bitcoin fer nefarious purposes. They using col' cash for all that too. Cain't do nothing about that 'cept to divert yo pops attention away from the mainstream media where they be slammin bitcoin like it was a retard hockey player. How old is you anyway? You old enough now whereby you ought not to care what pops thinks? I say jist let it go. Y'all don't have to convince nobody but yourself.

Probably he don't have much knowledge about bitcoin so tell him to read a lot of stuffs about bitcoin, blockchain, view some experts videos on youtube, have a lot of content there.
At least you are trying to save some money, better than waste all your parents money in bullshits.

You cant convince someone even your dad to trust bitcoin if they are not interested to it. Maybe someday if bitcoin is really popular. Other people dont trust on anything that strange to them. Maybe give him some of it and let him experiece it. Maybe he'll change his mind. Also give him some idea how to use it.

It's true, some people are already with their minds closed to things they don't want to know about. Bitcoin is trustful and after some days looking and reading about, it's possible to reach to this conclusion, but many people still don't have interest on it, because their minds just follow what media says. If it's not on the television, it's not important for them. Only time will reveal the facts about Bitcoin to many people around the world.

Reading stuff about bitcoins can even be more confusing at times due to the technological terms. It's best to show him how it's done by demonstrating it

Why do you need to convince your father doing anything? He is old enough to make decisions for him self. And to know if it will be a good or bad one by now.

Maybe you should tell and explain directly on the bitcoin, ask your dad to know when you use bitcoin. Indeed, many people using bitcoin to the crime, and it's a fact that can not be avoided. But you need to convince your dad that bitcoin is not always for the crime. Tell your dad how you manage your bitcoin, I'm sure if you succeed your dad would understand.

That's a very difficult thing to because when elders form a position, then they stick to it which might not change unless there is a greatbconcinving argument in that direction. So I will only suggest you just assure hiim you won't go the direction of those guys and then find some guys who use it for good things and show him if that will work, if it doesn't, then be more secretive.

I have a similar situation with you but it's between me and my mom. I have tried telling her (in a well mannered way) that bitcoin is the future, it can be an investment in someway, trading also, and a way to transact a payment. Since my mom is already a senior citizen, it is hard to let them know and understand current updates and situations with the world. Just be calm and explain.

Well just tell your dad what's you have been doing with your bitcoins. That because of bitcoin you earn money with the help of your own. And you can proudly say that because of this coin you don't need to give you money.
And tell your dad how bitcoin works.
