Anyone living with older people?

[Maestro75]

See I have this problem, I am living with older people since I lost my parents at a very young age and I get so attached with crypto and I am making money out of it but the problem is my grandfather and uncles do not understand what Bitcoin is all about, believe me, I've tried to explain but they just won't get it. What can I do? They kind of believe that I am wasting my time.

Those people think you are wasting your time because they are not seeing any result from what you think you are doing. You think you are making money out of it but they do not think so. No one sees success and does not recognise it. You have to double your efforts in what you are doing to achieve obvious success and you will see them running to you. Failure does not have any friends. As for trying to please them, do not let that bother you. You do not have to please others when you do not want to.

If it's the right thing, keep at it & keep it up. Remember!!! You can't make grandpa and uncle understand what you are doing right now. But you can make the people who matter to you the happiest and proudest with the results of the bitcoins you do. That way they will open their hearts and have curiosity about bitcoin. Because there is no curiosity about something, it is difficult to explain, let alone bitcoin digital currency technology.

to educate illiterate people is very difficult,, because with illiteracy  will not be able to read anything..
I think you should be able to find your own technique because you definitely know the character of the person.
but don't force people to like crypto.
because people's views are different, but if YOU can already earn from crypto
you should just be grateful with what you get.

An Illiterates is someone who don't know how to read and write, and I guess that's not what you meant, but what you meant is "How can I educate people who have no knowledge about digital currency?" Because for the fact that someone is old does not mean they are illiterate. Secondly, there is no how you will explain, that they will comprehend what you mean, since they are old men and women. So stop wasting your time trying to educate old niggas about crypto, and focus on your crypto stuff to proof them wrong that crypto is indeed an investment worth going after. Because what they all need now is to be happy.

It may seem challenging to educate your technologically challenged grandparents about Bitcoin, but that doesn't mean it's impossible. Instead of feeling overwhelmed by the task, try finding a comfortable and convenient location, such as your home, to discuss it with them. And if you're still determined to explain it in person, consider using visual aids like a computer or smartphone to make the concept easier to understand. Remember, it's often more effective to teach someone directly rather than relying on intermediaries.

I don't think I have good reason why I should educate illiterate people about bitcoin, it's just waste of time especially if they are over 60 years old. If you have responsibility for them, then just provide for their food and needs and health instead of teaching them about bitcoin or crypto. It's a complex discussion especially on the technical side, but I think they will understand what bitcoin or investing is all about.

Let's just say bitcoin is an investment like gold, but bitcoin has no physical and it is not deposited in bank. Bitcoin has its own repository and it's wallet that can be controlled by the owner at any time as long as he has custody. That is simple understanding, and if they ask about the price then say it fluctuates like gold but probably much higher.

I think what you need is time. Let the time make them see that you earn money because of crypto and aslo let them see you selling your crypto into fiat and maybe that will make them interested in crypto. Old people doesn't just believe you when you explain them something new. Try to show them something that you can show them that is related to crypto and it's uses or what it can be used for. I tried asking my mother if she is interested in Bitcoin but seems not to believe it at first until I tell her that I earn money because of crypto but the problem is my mother only finish elementary level. You don't have to educate them if they don't want to and it's better if you just share your experience or journey in crypto.

Why do you want to educate them? There's probably no need or reason to...

I made a post on here a while ago about how someone could teach a child about crypto and I think the same strategy applies: find something they're interested in and go at it from that angle or wait for them to learn about it themselves. With the second one, for older people, you might be able to change the media they focus on to do this as a lot of mainstream media include news segments on cryptocurrency (right wing media doesn't afaik) and economics or business related media don't. If your grandparents don't have any interest in investing, business or technology, it might be a lost cause unless you can find a way to make them interested in it...

It’s hard to educate people and change their mindset when their minds are already closed about it and chose to believe the other way around. So instead of trying to educate them, why not just let them see your proofs  that you are really in profits with bitcoin. It’s not that you will expose your bankroll to them, but create a project instead that will make them believe that bitcoin is legit and will provide huge profits as long as you focus on how to be successful on it.

They only need a technical explanation about bitcoin so it doesn't matter with the evidence we get from bitcoin investment profits, I think we have our own way of explaining crypto to ordinary people and even some of the posts above have actually helped OP to explain bitcoin to people their parents, so stay patient with them and make sure you communicate with them at the right moment.

The illiterate individuals you refer to may be illiterate in cryptocurrency or illiterate in general, as they have no knowledge of the digital world. There are various approaches you can take to educate them about cryptocurrency; simply analyze and select the best one for them and at the right time. Don't push things and be gentle with them. Let the old folks be if they don't feel the need to learn anything.

It is not only challenging but also very difficult. But if I were in that position, I would prefer not to teach them (grandparents) about Bitcoin and would rather let them pray or rest more. Because with their old condition, it's actually time to no longer burden their minds on work they still don't understand. But if they still want to know about this (Bitcoin), then the solution you offer I think is very appropriate for this.

Living with the elderly is stressful, and no matter how hard you try to educate them about your sources of income, they will never believe you because they are illiterate and don't understand anything about technology, so my advice to you is to go to any elder person or our religious leaders who are well educated and can talk to them and they will believe, to make them understand, if not I don't think they will really believe you in any way.

There are two ways to go from here.

1. Try to make them understand what you do.
2. Don't let them know what you do.

With the second option you won't have to go through the hassle of making them understand what you do.
Besides that you won't have to worry about the fact that they might tell others what you do.
You can simply say you work remotely as a freelancer and not explain the stuff you do.

With the first option you will have try to make them understand about bitcoin in Layman's terms.
You can also search online on how to teach bitcoin to children which will give you a better understanding on how to teach your grandparents about bitcoin.
The negative side is that the more people know you deal with bitcoin the more risk you attract towards your self.

When you are already at an older age and is still illiterate, then it would be hard to educate that person especially if he is a closed minded individual that only believe on what he thinks is right. Unlike those younger ones that are still very imaginative, and open to new learnings because for them it’s a challenge. Much more if you teach them about cryptocurrency because they only know fiat, so anything that is crypto related will make them believe that those are not really existing in the real world. So if I were you, just leave them like that. They will learn eventually from their own willingness and interest especially if you provide a lot of positive proofs for them.

Op I would like to ask you one question, are your grandparents and uncles using a smartphone? That's one sure way to get the answer you need, most old people can't even operate a smartphone why would they have interest In Bitcoin and crypto? It is impossible, it's like saying 2+2 is the only way you can get 4 where 1+3 still equals 4, do not stress them and do not stress yourself either, not everyone has a father or parents that supports them even when they don't understand a thing about what their kids are into.

[Belarge]

I don't think you need to educate them, they are old already, if you try to teach and make them believe you, they will think you are trying to scam them, or you are been scammed too,
I will advice you to keep calm and be making your money, stop trying to make them understand about Bitcoin because they won't listen to you...
