How do I convince my family that I want to pursue my career in Crypto space?

Learn to code then.

I'm not sure which field you are good at but every skill a person can have will still be profitable if you provide services in exchange for Bitcoin. You don't even have to learn that coding skills. If you are into carpentry, then showcase your skill and previous works, you might earn a job. But most of the time, it's computer skills that will have more importance, graphic, internet marketing skills and so on.

Well it is a pretty vague question you are asking.

Firstly, if you have a background on doing something that is related to crypto and you are able to use that to get food to the table, because that is what matters after all, then by all means follow that route.

But dont go for any sort of hyped career choices which is a common mistake that graduates these days are doing. Easy way to get in does not mean easy way to make money, rather the opposite. Difficult career choice earn more money. But you should play what you are good at, your strengths and what you have a passion for.

But seeing that you lack coding a large part of blockchain development is gone from your options. Depending upon what your education background is, you will have to make the choice. Family's opinion come after that.

Calculate the period you spent in the Crypto space, calculate the return on investment from it and the future return, and then compare this field with the traditional areas of your family and community members, calculate the return on investment for all these areas and make a decision.

The future is for crptocurrencies, but this does not mean that you will achieve success. Success is a relative word that is measured economically by several indicators, the most important of which is the return on investment.
And finally, as long as you believe in something you'll fight for.

If you are determined to pursue a crypto career and your family is against that, just ignore them. It's not like you need a university degree to become proficient in blockchians, unless your target is to become one of those Web3+Solidity developers since everyone's going to ask for your education, but even that can be technically learned on your own.

That's what I've experienced before, when I finished college, then the pandemic hit, the job was difficult and I was still in cryptocurrency. We can produce something to support life. But before going any further, you should ask yourself to show your parents that you are serious about cryptocurrency.

It's not just getting carried away by hype that will just end. If you are serious then start with something workable, hone your skills in crypto trading, join the available campaigns as a bounty hunter.

Keep in mind, don't make this your main income, because the results are uncertain. You should also have a job in the real world. Do what you should do.

Your first step should be learning coding and programming first and you have to be very good about it and let them be aware of how good you are at it. Now let them know about blockchain programming and tell them you want to learn it. Let them know that you have passion for that aspect of programming and believe you will do great at it.

What kind of area in crypto that do you want to pursue?
If you want to be a trader, I dont think coding is really necessary.

Therefore, if you want to convince your family, I believe action speaks louder than words, show them a good result even if it is just a minor result.

[boyptc]

It's not all about coding.

The crypto space has the same area just as the typical industry that we have. Like in marketing, support and other positions that you can think of.

But yeah, most of the positions are in coding and if you want to take of that opportunity that there's not that much developers, you have to learn coding unless you find some positions that doesn't require it.

First - ask yourself this question..

Can you change the expectations - the 'trajectory' of your life - simply by controlling what you choose to think about? - What you choose to let into your own mind ?

Second - to help on this journey, I suggest Dan Miller's book '48 days to work you love' and his related podcast.

Third - After completing the 2 items above, come back to your original question - and reframe it based on your new 'found' knowledge. I believe once you this you will be able to seek the crypto experience you are looking for.

Good Luck!

then how can you convince them if they knew you are lack of knowledge? best to study first , have a deep knowledge about crypto and how this works because if you will just enter without anything as weapon then for sure failure will be your friend.

this market is risky , but if you are in the right age then i don't think anyone can hinder you from what you want to do in life.

Not everyone who made money from crypto doesn't know the coding and technical knowledge they simply made money by holding for that they need capital to began with and ended up in profits. So if you are going to begin your career in crypto then you can do it while doing your regular job as well because everything is in your hands which is from the internet.

What kind of career the Crypto space is very wide it includes everything coding, web development marketing be specific, in fact, a lot of industry are already in Cryptocurrency, it's not going to be hard to convince your parents, just tell them the advantages and disadvantages of pursuing a career in Crypto space it's a rewarding career.

How old are you if its ok to ask? if you are a minor then we have nothing to do because it is you family to decide for you.
but if you are also a mature person then i think it is a mistake believing that they can hider you from dealing in crypto.

If they trust you, you don't have to convince them if they want a course for you then you really have to convince them, you need to show them that you can and you are not going to waste money and will have a decent and support them if you finish your course and get a job, tell them it's a lucrative job and many young people are going into it and you really love to code.

[DeathAngel]

You don’t need to convince anybody of anything. If you have a goal & it’s achievable then go for it. As long as you can forge a career & provide (if you have dependants) then go for it. Put some trust in yourself.

[ethereumhunter]

It is hard to convince them that you want to pursue your career in the crypto space because you need to determine what you want to do with crypto. Crypto space is too large and I do not think you can do many things as it is better if you just focus on one thing such as learn coding, trading, or search for a job that paid in crypto.

If you are hard to learn about coding, you can learn about trading and who knows, you can get good skills in trading which can give you a chance to make money. It is up to you what you want to learn but make sure you can focus on hard work in one or two things related to crypto.

Thanks to everyone who replied. As far as my personal skills are concerned, I recently graduated in finance. I've been trading for more than 2 years now in crypto but I don't have enough capital to be a full time trader. Apart from this, in past I lead a startup and it had quite good response with more than 150,000 people joining us in the journey. I've been learning Data visualizing tools such as TableAU and manipulation tools like SQL. I am also good at social media skills and research (I've handled many pages and communities in past but they were non crypto related). The only thing which really throws me out of this industry is experience. I don't have experience as I'm a fresher and got graduated recently (Even the internships want people with experience \_(+_+)_/ and therefore I get rejected all the time). I don't want to do a normal job because of it's non remote culture. I do think I have knowledge of this industry. I've been applying for jobs for more than a month now but I haven't got chance to showcase my skills yet. If anybody knows a way to get experience in this industry, do let me know. Thanks. (also I'm 21 currently)

There's a ton of people on Upwork who post help wanted notices for their cryptocurrency-related programs, so it shouldn't be too hard to get accepted for one of these if you don't mind being paid in fiat. You can put these gigs on your resume as well.

If you are an adult then you have every right to determine what you want to dedicate your life to. The only thing holding you back seems to be a lack of experience but with enough persistence eventually you will find somebody who is willing to hire you.
