To be honest my family isn't familiar with fact that I'm involved in Bitcoin. I never thought they would be interested to know that or to be included by themselves. Several times we tried to talk about that but they showed no interest so I gave up. If people are open minded and interested in new technologies and solutions you will get their support and understanding. If not they would probably think you are weird or involved in something illegal.

Hello everyone, good morning, yesterday I had a conversation with my family about crypto(BTC if we being specific). Im HODL for a long time now, and really believe that in the end crypto actually do fly to do moon( More about Moon:)my family thinks its a bullshit, and think that im wasting my time and money. I try to explain it countless of times and it seems that is simply imposable for to them to understand So, im just curious what your family/friends think about it? Actually if ever my family is against my crypto investments?i don’t care because it’s my money who’s being invested so if ever there’s a concern it must be me But I am lucky that they are supporting me every step of the way so my success is with them in future,though I have already some profits for years that they are enjoying

My family just calm about it, they know it's an earning opportunity but not the easy one. They are open about it and all I do is share my emotion and reaction about the market status, luckily they motivate me to hold and do a great job. Just take it easy and balance my time since I have much more important things to do. I just hope they wouldn't think I do illegal things since I get to earn money without them noticing me doing tasks and stuff.

Grandparents think it is a ponzi scheme Parents, 1 thinks it is the future, one thinks it is a scam My 4 brothers and I think it is the future Our kids think it is the future
When the olders gen`s die off, something like bitcoin will become the medium of exchange.
If you are talking about "cryptocurrency"
btw, not such thing exist yet, a currency is declared by a nation, no nation has reconigzed any crypto yet other than what China is about to release, that will be the first "cryptocurrency"
Everything you see on coinmarketcap is a cryptocash, cryptotoken or cryptocoin, Satoshi called bitcoin a p2p e-cash for a reason.

If they are not buying into the idea, then leave them, you just hold on to what you believe and take it strong, when the time comes, they will see if with their own eyes when they see you driving that car of your dream and then having that house of your dream also. In as much as we want cryptocurrency to grow to every part of the world, we will still have many people that will reject it because of lack of understanding, except maybe it is being imposed on them by regulations or by law.
Let’s just keep creating the awareness as much as we can for those who would believe it and also have need for its usage, because not still everyone will use it as payment system because of lack of technology understanding also. In my own family, only the younger ones is interested and the elderly ones there are zero.

To tell you the truth my family was very doubting at the beginning and did not understand it at first (even though they still don't fully get it but way better than before) but after receiving some gift from me from my 2017 profits ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) , it was easy for them to understand with a little bit of explanation, it is very hard to convince people about crypto and blockchain but some eventually do come around.

I remember once when i first got money from bitcoin through trading and my family assumed that i was committing a crime. They assume that I gamble online or money laundry and various other negative assumptions. At that time, I always explained about cryptocurrency, But all of my explanations were rejected by my family by assuming that bitcoin is illegal (because indeed in my country even now bitcoin is still illegal). And i also try to explain cryptocurrency to my family every day until the moment when my family sees news on television related to cryptocurrency. Now i am happy because my family can accept bitcoin and accept all my activities related to cryptocurrency

After I told about crypto to my parents and family. They look enthusiastic / Because you know that BTC has fantastic prices. At that time they were a little confused, why would something without physical appearance have a high price. And now almost every day my mother sees the price of Bitcoin through a portfolio application.

My mom thinks crypto is scam even when I have profit ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) Keep looking for profits in crypto over time your mother will understand about it or try to explain a little about crypto because my family previously thought that crypto was a suspicious and scam investment. And so far after I always get income in the form of Bitcoin they support me.

Maybe you can give more proofs to your family about btc? like let them see the history of bitcoin, especially on 2017 where bitcoin is being so high. And tell them there are many people who can be success from btc and other cryptocurrency. If they don't believe, then let them be and do what you want. That way, you can prove them that they are wrong by showing results, not only words. My family never mind about me being into crypto because the first time they know, there is already results so they believe i can really earn here so they support me doing this.

Well in my case my family is quite amazed on how I'm earning from cryptocurrency, my family is happy that i can earn freely at home but i don't think they actually like to get into crypto because when i try to discuss it to them they can't understand or don't have interest on it.

You should try and convincing them the more because I face the same situations with my family sometimes back in 2017. My elder brother said “it is a Ponzi scheme” and my mother agreed with him. But they were surprised that after the boom of December 2017 I was able to sell part of my holding and I was able to bought a land in our state capital! That is when all of them started liking bitcoin and investing in it.

Most of the family doubted me to be a cypto and they thought it would be better for me to work in general, because being a crypto was a waste of time. But with hard work and prayer I am sure and believe that one day I will make my family happy from the results of being a crypto. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Although there is an understanding of crypto, although it is a little. My family doesn't seem to believe in the future of crypto, but there is one of my brothers, starting to follow what I do. Therefore I am very happy
They need to understand more before they judge and conclude that crypto has no future. It's good that you have your brother who has the same interest as you do, personally I'm hoping to be in your situation as having someone who have the same interest as you will someone give an ease in this rough journey since you can talk to someone, think of a possible strategy that would work, like they said, 2 heads are better than one.

My family didn't really know that I was earning Bitcoin and thought that I am only wasting my time on the computer and phone. When I told them that I am going to buy a guitar for myself using Bitcoin, they thought it was some kind of scam until my guitar arrived. They still don't get the concept and I am sick of explaining so it is just an online wallet with fiat on it as far as they're concerned.

I avoid this kind of conversation I already tried to explain about BTC, but it's hard to explain to a person that doen's have a brief understanding about internet, security, math, networks, projects... For some people BTC is just a pyramid or a imaginary coin, just a toy, but it's hard to understand the real power of BTC and all possibilities

In crypto currency everybody must not believe you in some of your explanation including your family and friends, because there are so many scammers especially anything that has to do with online (internet). so even in my own family and some of my friends that i introduced to crypto majority of them did not believed me till date so i decided to keep to myself since i know it is legit. so i will advice that you will have to keep doing it alone since they did not believe or understand bitcoin.

I don't have any problem on my family even if they know already that i'm into crypto because i was very open to them ever since i started here.They doubted me at first but when i explained to them about crypto,seems that they tried to understand me and supported me all the way.

The thinking or perception is about the family one founds himself. For me, its just that everybody does not care most importantly those who could have some say especially my parents. But for my siblings, they are more open minded to technology because they are millenials ready to access new technology. While other people have used crypto as a means to perpetrate crime, it has equally been used to uplift the lives of people which is the part that needs to announced to people who are ready to express some misgivings about dealing with crypto...
