How to convince my dad that Bitcoin is a trustful currency ?

[Taki]

What a situation man! I have never heard before that bitcoin can have such negative trust. I don't know what to recommend to you. Try to hide your bitcoin activity if you can. You can use wi-fi in some cafés for this bitcoin making. There is no chance to your dad change his opinion in this situation.

definitely keep your private keys squirreled away! Keep a backup of them

Maybe show him that there are debit cards visa and mastercard such as wirex for Bitcoin now...

The old people I tried to explain what Bitcoin is to didn't trust it until I went to an ATM, created a wallet for them and helped them deposit money in it. This is what they want - virtual isn't safe for them, and although wallets are virtual too, they feel safer with them.

If you want to convince your dad that bitcoin is trustful currency then show some proofs to your dad like telling him to watch different videos on youtube that discuss what is bitcoin,what are the advantages of using it and what is the history behind it. I already encountered that kind of scenario where your parents doesn't trust online opportunities but when i tell them to watch the videos that discuss bitcoin it clears their confusion and they are supporting me in my bitcoin journey.

I think actual is the best to show that bitcoin is real and it is not scam because here in my country when i was telling some friends and relatives they are thinking that bitcoin is scam that honestly they really don't know about it now because of giving them proof and actual way to deposit and withdrawing it they are interested in bitcoin but they are not using it except in my wife that actually addicted in gambling.,

Hahahah this is pretty fucked up lol
I'm lucky that my parents don't know anything about btc or whatever...There wasn't a single news article about bitcoin in my country from the day it began.
If I was you,I would just show my dad some YT videos and see how that will go.

He don't need to understand bitcoin. Blockchain technology, crypto currency, especially bitcoin is made for millennials generation who is active every day with the internet.
One you can say to your father is, you can tell him bitcoin is a new commodity to trade or to save to earn more money. It's a new kind of investment.

It won't help because his dad is a close minded person already because of a lot of illegal things that are coming out with the society on their place and the medium for those acts is with bitcoin. It's kinda hard to encourage and change the mind of his dad because his dad thinks that way by showing him on how you use bitcoin legally will simply make his mind change.

Exactly he just his father for what purpose he is using bitcoin. And where he is getting bitcoin. Suppose if he is making bitcoin from gambling then it is tough to convince. I think he will never convince if it happens. If he is making coins from any signature campaign or any other online work, then there is a possibility are there to convince his father.

Most dads do really have close minds on which if they think its a bad thing they will stand on their decision until the end that's why we would really have a hard time on convincing them regarding to bitcoin.As in the OP mentioned his dad saw bitcoin is just an another scam that exist online.Therefore the best way to convince or change his view about bitcoin is showing him how to use it as a currency.

In my case I don't really need to convince him or even force him to know what is bitcoin and how is everything bitcoin works with my life. Too bad op is in hard situation just because of those people who are using bitcoin in his place illegally. It is good enough to know that there are bitcoin users near your place but with his case, I will not going to be proud of it for I will be also affected.

Yes using technical terms usually scares the person and there is a possibility that the concerned person might stay away from the thing we want him to know.

So, It would be great to use very familiar language and explain bitcoin technology with some familiar terms like email, sms, etc. As per my experience, demonstration works smoothly while explaining bitcoin to a new person and giving him some satoshis in his fresh wallet is like turning a key for starting his car.

[novemberwoah]

That you have to to do is convince your father to believe if you do not abuse the bitcoin for illegal activities. Maybe you engage your dad how you manage bitcoin correctly, I'm sure if he knew directly would definitely believe you and his mind can open. Indeed, for those who do not know bitcoin would think like that, but if given the understanding he'll have a new mind and trust with bitcoin.

That's why most articles are written in a language that most people can understand. No one wants to read an article that's so technical that you'd feel you're reading some technical manual about bitcoin. Most article writers write in a way that their reader would feel as if the writer is just talking to them personally. Some even include words like, "Haha" and whatnot to even show emotions in their article.

People would just back-off if they found words in your article that they do not understand. Keep in mind that there's a lot of articles written on the internet, you don't have to force yourself to read something that have technical words. Nonetheless, watching youtube videos would give you similar results as reading this type of article because the video maker is literally talking to you.

Some parents like to support some initiative they might be admiring. Like bitcoin used to make a savings. Say to him that having bitcoins makes you save to the future and that can allow you to be sufficient without parents.

[BlackPanda]

it is a simple matter. give your father a bitcoin wallet address. after that fill some of the bitcoin. then tell your father to buy some goods with bitcoin. it is very easy course. to do and practice directly to make things easier.

Lol there's saying it in plain English then there's dumbing it down to the point you give incorrect information and people think it's basically magic internet money that some people find with their special computers.

Reminds me of

but to me i think it depend on your father's age, education. nature and interest, if he is education and having good knowledge about internet and computer then he will understand you very soon and will convinced. but if he has no computer and internet knowledge then it is difficult to convince him about to use bitcoin instead of fiat.

Not really, ask him should he invest in something that rises from 0.1$ to 1000$ and he would give you a big yes at least my family encourages me rather than pulling me back.

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

You should tell to your dad, the good benefits of bitcoin to you, and tell to him that your not doing any illegal, or show to him how it works so that he will understand that you are not doing any illegal things. Is there any exchanger of bitcoin from your country? Show him that this bitcoin can convert in real money, and show what are you doing to earn bitcoin. My parents too think this bitcoin as a scam, MLM. But they see I can earn here and they know im not doing any illegal things. So my parents let me earn this coin.

its good suggestion but as your dads is not yet believe in bitcoin that can be another investment, i think you don't have to push him to buy bitcoin but i think you can give the proof about what you are done with bitcoin and you can give your dads that you are really make money with bitcoin so i am sure that your dads will be believe and want to start to use bitcoin.
