First of all, i think you should explain him how many people are using bitcoin, and what is the price of it. I think that you should also show him how many businessman are investing in this, because it might be a great opportunity for everyone to get a share from the pie!
No need to show them businessmen or any person who achieve their goal with bitcoin. Just showing them that you are using it for good and just like how you use money in real life, usually parents would go against you because they don't know the thing. Avoiding illegal transactions using bitcoin could remove their negative impression about bitcoin. In short, explain with honesty, no need to sugarcoat.

In short, explain with honesty, no need to sugarcoat. generally speaking when you want to explain to others about bitcoin you have to start by telling them what you yourself do with bitcoin. for instance i always go with showing them how i can purchase things online with bitcoin without needing to have a credit card and pay extra fees. and then in the end i also talk about bitcoin as an investment and how it has been making me money.

The best idea for now is to not tell your dad you are storing your extra cash in bitcoin, store some bitcoin secretly and when bitcoin price will be more than double than what it is right now show how you have been able to double your fiat within very short period. I have also gone through similar problem few months back when price was near $400 and now it is $700+ which have been enough for me to convince my father also to invest in bitcoin and he is asking me to buy some bitcoin for him also. This is the worst thing you could possibly do. I'm a kid and I know. Be open. If your dad hates bitcoin, accept it. You will get him to listen to you sometime. What you have to explain is that cash, like bitcoin is also used for illicit uses. Bitcoin is virtual gold, and can be used the same way. Bitcoin is not bad, just some of the people using it are. I agree with this although for different reasons. In my opinion you should never mix business and family, if you do and the price of bitcoin gets lower and they lose money they are going to blame you and not the nature of investments, a lot of good relationships have ended because of things like that.

I watched YouTube videos to understand what bitcoin was. That's what I'd suggest to anyone who doesn't understand what it's for. Also explain just because you see on TV that bitcoin is only used for crimes and hacking and shit doesn't make it true. Look at the USD. It's constantly used for crime. So is every currency. It's inevitable.

Why do you need your dad to be convinced about Bitcoin? Do you ask your dad before you get a girlfriend?
Bitcoin is a revolutionary innovation and you should take it as an alternate investment. Make it secret and earn it secretly. Bitcoin can be a source of eternal wealth for you. Don't engage your family members to bit coin.

Since we are all not the same i think he has already a problem for his dad that thinking that bitcoin is illegal to use,, or maybe if his dad has a plan to start a business he can use bitcoin too to start a business online and accept bitcoin. If he can study it to use it they can start a business online make an gambling casino that neighbors can play and other country that can motivate other people to use..

you cannot "convince" or force anyone into an opinion and the more that you try the less success you will have. simply let them know what you do and they will either see it from you or not.
I agree, when i was starting with bitcoin, my family was very annoyed at me because i was infront of PC the whole day reading and learning about bitcoin economy and mining. They often scolded me about it and when i tried to reason out without following their suggestion, it became a heated argument. So I just follow their suggestion but while keeping myself into reading about bitcoins. Then after sometime, when I handed them my earning of around 1.5 BTC from different giveaway and bounty collected from tasks, they started to get easy on my activities with bitcoin. And now that i established my earnings even if it is not that big, they are now pushing me to be morea active to different activities and reminds me of my trades when they saw me relaxing and watching movies lol.

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
your dad ban it because he just hear bad things from bitcoin explain to your father with good things about bitcoin example bitcoin can get profit more without work hard , can used to all age like me who still teenager or student

I think you should start introducing bitcon to him if he is in a good mode. You need some good evidence to give him about bitcoin, you need to tell him all the feathers of bitcoin to him in a good way, and hoe that he will easily understand your statement and will start using bitcoin.
Bitcoin itself has 80% potential to get spread by itself but the remaining 20% is your contribution to make deal done.

Nice story you convinced them not with words but by your acts that is a nice way to do it, but I don't think the OP can use that strategy since his father already thins bitcoin is only for criminals so even if he showed his profits maybe his father will think it comes from criminal activities.

at first you must tell and explain to your dad about bitcoin slowly , and tell him how MLM is or anything that you know about it, let him know bitcoin by himself

Well that's very hard >.< when it comes to dads i really convinced my dad about bitcoin recently yes! you can buy illegal activities but i have some of my ideas how to convince your dad like a did to my dad i am going to tell you my dad is one hard man to deal with when it comes to internet he thinks its a fraud i spend my life in the internet earning then he always says to me that "you don't have a life in the internet as well you cant earn from it" so i started to try bitcoin so i earn bitcoin so earn up much money you can give to your dad and tell him that bitcoins can do good things or spend it to your school the expense of your school you will handle that dads are very fragile when it comes to that because dads think that you're grown up and he will stop bothering you and start believing in you that's what i did i spend my hole money in my school my expenses when we don't have money i tried to bank my money and give them to my parents and now i am free but respect is the key to that matter ^_^ have a good day

Unfortunately bitcoin takes people's attention when bitcoin is the top news for bad when hackers steal people and sell their data for bitcoin and people will normally hate bitcoin because they consider that bitcoin is being used only by hackers/criminals.

Your dad considers bitcoin as stupid or dummy currency is because he only knows about the bad things that happen in our cryptoworld. Like you said bitcoin is being used for illegal activities in your country thats all your dad knows about bitcoin, show him the good side of bitcoin and try explaining that all things have their own good and bad its up to us what we use it for. I understand he is concerned that bitcoin may have bad effects on you, try reducing that fear.

True,your daddy only sees the negative side of bitcoin thats why he dont bother to engage with it because he knows only the bad side.I do a agree with you that trying to explain to him about the goodness and beneficial side of bitcoin and maybe it would get its attention and possibly he will get into bitcoin.It depends on you approach and explanation.Be careful and explain it the best as you can.

"customers don't know what they want until we've shown it to them" - Steve Jobs I couldn't resist myself from requoting this statement from Steve Jobs. People are using cash and they will keep using it until we show them cryptocurrency. We should help (and sometimes push) them to explore the world of cryptocurrency and then they would truly understand what bitcoin or altcoins are all about. We should make them clear, how it works and how it is better than the traditional payment systems that we have been using since years.

Bitcoin is a revolutionary innovation and you should take it as an alternate investment. Make it secret and earn it secretly. Bitcoin can be a source of eternal wealth for you. Don't engage your family members to bit coin.
You are not helping, he was caught involved in bitcoin, and for his father, bitcoin is a bad thing. So he is asking how to convince his father that being involved with bitcoin is not a bad thing. Btw, he never asked permission anyway, he was just caught. It is easier to discuss about bitcoin if your audience has zero knowledge about it, but with a person with negative view over it, it will be an argument. You see it will trigger authority, and your dad has it. Though decision is up to you, whether you will surrender to your father's liking or continue with what is your doing. If you want to explain him about bitcoin, you should have your flag down first and raise a white flag recognizing his authority. And then little by little explain to him about bitcoins, how you get involved, what task you are doing to get bitcoin, how it helped you fund things you wanted to buy and most of all do it with respect.
