Parents disagree with MMO – Make Money Online and Bitcoin ?

[Caladonian]

as long as you explain it better with your mom that this system is not a scam or you are not participating in any thing which will harmed your family and yourself they will start to understand and maybe they will also start to invest with bitcoin the only thing matters is how you really explained it to them and give them proof that you are not doing bad activity.

[winterland]

Unlucky you. You must be a teenager if your parents and especially mom took such position about Bitcoin and making money online. She must be saw something negative on TV, I have also heard on a TV that bitcoin is a babble and new poizen pyramid. I think you have to show her other opinions about bitcoin on YouTube. Explain that it is not illegal and you don't invest anything in that besides your free time.
My family is ok about everything. For them it's more important that I have found a way to earn some extra money to my salary and they are happy with that.

Unfortunately this is the case with most people since they are not informed about bitcoin they let themselves be manipulated by the media, it is like to think  the dollars are bad because drug dealers use them all over the world to make their deals.

I think our parents are just worried about us, it's just that they seem to be unable to make money on the Internet. They found the time of the pyramids and the MMM, and this negatively affected their attitude to earning on the Internet. Just need to explain and show them what bitcoin and crypto currency in general. And they will change their minds, not immediately, but they will change. My parents learned about bitcoin in 2015, when it cost 200 $ +, when in 2016 it cost 700+ my father bought himself a few bitcoins. And now he is happy!

What they're worried is not the price or how we earn this digital currencies but how will it affect in our early lives especially the young people who are still in the school. They will be affecting their way of thinking that they might stop going to school because they will be thinking that they earning enough and they don't need to go to school.

I don't think that there is something wrong with that thinking of some of the students. They just realized the significance of being an entrepreneur and because of bitcoin they feel the presence of it and they are now open minded for being a risk taker and getting in all those challenges of life and surpassing those problems with their own selves.

My parent , especially my mom , she always tell me to stop doing bitcoin otherwise i will go to jail or doing bad things to social ! I don't get it ! Old generation seem very lack of experience in Bitcoin ! Why they keep telling us to stop when they even don't know how to check a simple email on ebay ! How to explain them guys ? 

As we all know, bitcoin's reputation is indirectly somehow connected to deep web or illegal activities.  Your mom is right though, you will go to jail if you are not responsible enough on using bitcoin online. They are just protecting you, you can start by talking to them and explaining it little by little.

Parents are usually skeptical of such things like the internet and to her Bitcoin is probably some mystical way to make money, and she probably doesn't understand it. She is probably trying to protect you from what the interest beholds.

Media related to bitcoin have made it seem like a currency that is suited for dark net purchases. This is one of the problems why Bitcoin will never become mainstream, since everyone thinks that it is a bad thing.

[Fundalini]

I feel you bro, just recently I told my parents I'm doing bitcoin and their response is: 'is that a scam?' and then immediately showed their opposition. Although to be fair, most of the people I told bitcoins about give the same reply. I guess it just boils down to the person's open-mindedness and acceptance to new things.

What I think we should do is show them we the payouts we get from bitcoins regularly. That should eliminate the idea that it is a scam money.

Change is hard for old farts. They don't want to have to learn how to use tap on their debit card let alone use a whole new currency. When bitcoins are just the technology underlying a debit card that's super easy to use at some point, then older people will get on board. They love their cash and their privacy, so bitcoins just make sense for everyone.

How old are you anyway.  That maybe because you're too young to handle it.  If you are not mature and handle large amount of money,  it may lead to corruption and other dangerous thingds. Be sure to be guided by them and just explain to them clearly how you earn in btc and that it is legit and clean.

Parents knows best for their children they want to protect you for any harm. I think explain to them what is bitcoin  and what benefits you can get in bitcoin.

Well, sometimes our moms are over reacting in what we're doing. Maybe they're just want us to protect from the danger of using the internet nowadays. Just explain it carefully that this will not harm you and your studies. Also you can show your mom some proof like money that you got it from there. Show some articles and watch news together about bitcoin and for sure, slowly they understand you and will support you all through out.

My parents before saying that I should stop using and doing different jobs in bitcoin. They said that it is illegal but it is not. I explained to them the bitcoin and I prove to them that I can earn a lot of money in bitcoins.

[Sadnu]

It is better for you to explain to them. Because they are old and uninformed on the internet. It is better to explain to them what you are doing and why you have bitcoins. To find out that this is not harmful to you

Exactly. OP you need to tell them that BTC isn't illegal and what you are doing is not illegal in way, they won't listen in one go. You need to explain to them what btc is and that a lot of people use it.

[Dudeperfect]

I am sure she must have heard about any scam or usage of Bitcoin for illegal activities. I think you should talk with her on this matter and explain it to her that what Bitcoin is all about and how it works. Explain the scope and opportunities for blockchain/Bitcoin technology in the coming years. It seems that she is worried for you due to some misconception and she has no objection for the Bitcoin or this technology.

Parents usually say this because they don't trust online things and also they might feel that you are earning money illegally or something . The only way to make them understand that's it safe is to show them few articles about Bitcoin and to make them feel that you are not doing something illegal

I agree. Parents were just worried about you because they just think bitcoin is an illegal activity. Explain to them the benefits that we get through bitcoin. If you could explain well to them what bitcoin is and how it works, probably they’ll let you continue what you’re doing.

Maybe one thing you can do is share some of your earnings to your mom to prove that you really can generate income from this.
Or let her read related news regarding cryptocurrency and who are currently using and supporting this.
Maybe if she knows that even banks and known companies are now jumping into this, she will start to calm down and maybe have peace of mind when you're online & doing crypto transactions.

That is not really the issue the issue the op is having that his mom thinks that he is doing something illegal so I think the best way to deal with this is to show his mom how he is earning his money online.

I must agree, The whole point of the parents on being strict about joining Bitcoin is to protect you (even though you're anonymous in this industry) showing your earning won't help, hence it will only trigger them to force you to stop doing it. It's quite a challenge to make them believe that you are doing nothing wrong. Also, even sharing how you earn won't solve it (As I see) because they still don't have any idea about the industry. I highly suggest to explain them the background of this industry (Though I still doubt they will accept it, but just try)

To OP, Try asking your parents on why they're against Bitcoin. Maybe that you've done before on the social media that caught their attention. Parents do have their own explanation for that, Just try to clarify it.

Also, I think that they don't really like how the advancement of the technology affects people's attitude. In which contributes their dismay towards it.

I think you have a point but if the parents are so against bitcoin you do not lose anything by showing them how you earn your money, at worst nothing happens and in the best case scenario they understand that what the op is doing is not wrong.

Guys my parents also disagree with make money online. But i always avoid this types of discussion. It true that  naturally every parents stay tense  for their children.
