My father thinks I'm working in a shop,he didn't know I'm bitcointalking.

 Unfortunately, most see this forum as a platform for making money and probably one of the reasons here gets much traffic. Truthfully, thanks to sone sig campaigns, it has saved some from petty debts and helped some become independent but I think it would be a bad idea to just regard it as a money making platform.
 Imagine a situation where one doesn't get lucky and he's not picked, then the forum has lost its flavor in that person's eyes and the initial intention of the platform is lost: which is to share or exchange valuable info.

I am surprised that everyone is advising not to depend on signature campaign as job. But people have been in Best_Change, chipmixer, Roobet etc campaign for more than 2yrs. While some real time work doesn't even last upto 6 months.

[Igebotz]

You said that I, having read posts before yours, also wanted to answer. We often read that young people in Nigeria, even after education, still cannot get a good job, and participation in a subscription company is still better than just sitting around doing nothing. Other than that, I think that the OP is not just writing posts, but reading the forum day by day and gaining new knowledge.  Namely, knowledge is a good companion for further job search.

When the number of qualified graduates exceeds the number of available jobs, unemployment rises and the number of job seekers rises as well; jobs become hereditary assets; those in high positions watch their children graduate from high school and make certain they take their position, even if they are less qualified for it.

In Nigeria, stone-age parents do not believe anyone can earn money by pressing phones, so if you tell them you made money by pressing your phone, they will label you a fraudster and will usually call the cops on their own children. That is the society in which the majority of Nigerians live.

It's still unreliable! Because these jobs are not guaranteed, and no one knows what will happen the following week. It's more of a side hustle; anything more is incorrect. My opinion

Well I am not sure what you do expect as a response from your father when you mentioned "bitcointalking" let alone "bitcoin". He surely will be curious to whatever you were doing so expect a  lot of questions day by day from him especially when you're the breadwinner.

Just a correction like others mentioned that Bitcoin is not your money making scheme. Sure it gives you the chances to earn profit, but the whole idea of Bitcoin does not revolve in "earning money".

[Mate2237]

It was not easy to cognitively comprend your post. It is not called bitcointalkingg as a person or a user in the forum but it is called bitcointalker (as a person or user) as a noun while it is called bitcointalking as a verb which is the process of communicating with others in the forum.
Online (internet) has been existing before your father was born just that they were not using it the way we are using it. And also remember just because you earning $40 in the forum doesn't guaranteed you that you have seen a permanent work and telling your father that you are bitcointalking.
In those days job was secured as they finished university but today there is no job so the youth resort themselves to do online businesses that is legit.

@martyns, do not see this forum as a job, you need alternatives even if some of your posts and activeness are providing some money for your through this forum. Look for other means of making money. I guess you are from a third world country, even this forum can create an opportunity for you to start your own work which can be an alternative. Just do not depend only on this forum is my advice.

Or you can save some of your profits here and then start building your own business which you think you are also capable of managing it. Otherwise, you end up wasting your own money. But I would never doubt that this forum is a good provider for us, but the problem is we don’t know how long will it last so we should have another source of income, if not getting a stable job.

Technology has made life somehow easy for us today.In the days of our father,they had no idea about working online,all their work to make money were done physically,and with strength,either they engaged in mini or mega business that will provide money for them.We thank God for bitcoin,that came as a messiah,to enrich the hopeful.Now my father asks me about my shop,and where it's located,I told him I'm bitcointalking,and he doesn't know what I'm talking.What do yours tell you?

You should be more concise explaining your source of income to your father so he will know what you are really into. Anyway, I don’t think bitcointalking will be consider a stable job so you should not depend on it solely. If you can get a stable job, that will be a lot better. If not, then work on other side jobs so that you will gain additional income aside from bitcointalking. Most especially if you are a family man, at least getting two to three jobs will make your family live comfortably. But of course, hone your skills first so that your application will be accepted.

And not only bitcointalk, but we also have tech skills such as affiliate marketing, social media marketing, content creation and many other soft skills available now which our fathers never got to know about to earn passive income with. So being here as a member of this forum is quite a privilege, as it has got all you need to know about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies at large and yet still stand the chance to earn peanuts weekly. So I will advice you play according to the rules and regulation of this forum, as I wish to see you grow further and spread the news about Bitcoin to people living in your locality

Your father’s reaction is expected as bitcointalking is never a job in the first place, it could be a side hustle but never a stable job. However, you should explain to him about what you mean so he will get your point. But as a friendly advice, never settle with one just source of income. You can get a real life job, at least you can make a fixed income from it, but never stop working on your side jobs as there are instances that side jobs are actually giving you higher income than your main job.

[Odusko]

Aside from getting paid to post here in botcointalk, I think the forum further gives us the exposure to acquiring more knowledge that could guarantee self-reliance so ops even though the signature campaign can not.be taken as a source of income bit. it can be a better alternative and support to your main income.
The term bitcointalking is wrong and does not make any meaning unless you want to invent a new word here in the forum cause we have seen one or two words coming out from the forum, that being said I think you should try to make your parent understand the nature of the job you do but also make it clear to them that it could be difficult for them to understand.

Welp, because even if you say it will last just like that but we really never know when the worst case would happen. It's best to tell them the truth already since nothing is permanent but instead treat this signature campaign as a side job or second job and not as the main. It's still better if you have real job because aside from the salary you will get in your campaign if it's based on Bitcoin, your salary will definitely get affected once the bear market started. Although, it depends sometimes if your campaign is USD-based and not as BTC.

Time has indeed changed, and they are well aware of it. Thinking that this is the best time in our lifetime to flex and enjoy technological inventions is completely false. They were things we would still enjoy in the past and be content with if technology had not been invented. They had their own part of life and it was best for them, so we'll get to see ours now. Let us appreciate the small things they did to build us into the people we are today and witness another ostensibly better life we claim to have now.

We thank God for bitcoin,that came as a messiah,to enrich the hopeful.Now my father asks me about my shop,and where it's located,I told him I'm bitcointalking,and he doesn't know what I'm talking.What do yours tell you?

Even the hopeful has given up hope and lost everything in the end. Perhaps the patient ones always win and thrive here in the end. Don't rely solely on this forum as your source of income; instead, consider it a side hustle that will benefit both your physical business and your overall well-being. Treat it as a part-time job even if you hope to make it your full-time job; it will be better for you.

[Pokapoka124]

Even though signature campaigns is a huge upgrade to bounty hunting. I urge you not think of the forum as a full time job, even if the money from signature campaigns may afford you a comfortable living at the moment. It will be to your advantage if you consider campaigns earnings as a side hustle. Like many have said, signature campaigns are not constant, they come and go. What will happen to your bitcointalking career should Theymos stop advertising on the forum.

You are right, the campaign signature job is only a side job because previously many members assume a bounty for the main job because of their high income, but now there is no bounty potential and even bounty for signature allocation is also very rarely found, so enjoy this work as a side and better you Having the main job even though the signature work continues.

Unfortunately, our parents faced a lot of difficulties and deception in their lives. And this applies to any parents, even if they are from Nigeria, even from Belarus. And most of them are beginning to be very suspicious of any financial instruments. And it is not surprising - they know the value of money earned by hard physical labor. But it is necessary to convey to them the genius of blockchain and cryptocurrencies. This is a simple and working idea, and as many people as possible should know about it. Plus, our earnings will no longer look strange and suspicious to our parents. I have been having conversations with my father about Bitcoin for a long time.

[Awaklara]

What do yours tell you?

do not mean to demean your father, but from what you described at the beginning, it seems that your father is quite old and may not keep up with technological developments. it doesn't matter, but you still have to explain in simple terms how you work and earn money.
so you are a full time person in Bitcoin trading?

from the OP's explanation, you can see, that he is showing his father he earns money from the Bitcointalk forum. it was a result of the signature campaign he was involved in.

but I suggest to the OP, not to think too much of what you're now calling a job, which will keep you in front of your computer. a campaign that earns you money, you never know when it will end. for only a few tens of dollars a week, a single man might be able to enjoy his simple life. but for those who already have a family, it will be difficult.

[UchihaSarada]

You seem pretty confident that the forum will shut down, although I don't think there's any reason for that to happen as long as there's interest in Bitcoin and all other cryptocurrency-related activities in general. Things could change in the future when people no longer want to communicate in this way

I did not say it will be shut down certainly.

I only raised a risk to OP if he depends on forum for income as his only income source.

Forum shutdown will happen by many reasons, not only less interest of community in this communication style. It can be seized by government for example.

[Outhue]

OP, if all you do is making money from signature campaign then you need to be in worries because the campaign might not last long, I have a story with my father too but he was one of a kind, who supports me, I explained everything about Bitcoin to him and he was 70 years old, yet he understands and even encouraged me, he said, this life doesn't wait for anyone, things gets evolve fast.

Participate in signature campaigns if available.
Invest money in crypto.
Find online jobs that pays with Bitcoin or other crypto.
Learn trading.

To me, this is the true meaning of making money online via cryptocurrency, enough to have confidence even when your parents don't understand, if all you do is bounty, you are still not doing it right.

The beautiful thing about bitcointalk is that it gives you the privilege of learning, socializing, and earning. Although the financial benefit shouldn't be the main reason for being here but it could also serve as a little motivation to be active. Other online platforms pay far better than this forum but this forum is unique. I have interacted with a few members and most of them are not depending totally on this forum as their source of survival. It is ideal for people to have different sources of income because the global economy is unpredictable.

OP your father needs to know what you do. There is no need to lie to him because it might have some negative consequences. You are also making him lie because he might be telling people that you own a shop which is untrue.

It's just logical advice, but I stated my opinion in my previous post, and from that you can see that I understand why some members have an attitude like the OP's. It is true that some signature campaigns last much more than 2 years, but I think that many members do not rely on them as the main source of income. Without looking at the data, I think that I have been in the CM campaign since the end of 2018, which means about 4 years - and believe it or not, I have not spent a single satoshi so far.

The whole essence of this discussion boils down to the fact that the forum should not be taken as a place where we make money exclusively, but that our earnings from signature campaigns are only additional income. At the end of the day, it's not all about making money, but working in real life has its benefits, because in addition to working for a salary and pension, we also socialize and make friends, which is an important part of our lives.
