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

Their generation is different from ours. Some of them are trying to work hard just to earn money; it depends on what kind of environment they have. If your family has grown already into a middle-class to lower-class work, for sure, some of yours want to stick where you can get the money until you survive and some of them into the field of business so they keep into an investment, this time the generation of the millennials are the one who is actively in exploring different things such as this bitcoin things this could be another way of earnings and learnings at the same time. In reality, you cannot push someone who has already designed their workflow.

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?

This sound funny, hope you do have some bitcoin available for your dad, it will make lots of sense if you make some reservation of sats in his name, I believe he will not only like it, he will use it as a topic of discussion when sitting around with his friends about the new tech his son is always talking about, that's one of the ways adoption is spread without you realizing it yourself.

It's really crazy how internet has transformed life's over the decades and how people have fund of making money online instead of the conventional physical way in those days that you need to work your ass out but today, things are clearly different in another dimension. Imaginine today, you can trade bitcoin, buy low and sell high daily, weekly and long time frame for the people who prefer to hold, talk about internet magic money, this is what bitcoin brings to the table for everyone with internet.

Some were into physical work or labor especially the old generations, they might not even aware that teenagers nowadays can earn more thru online or without education. This is somehow the advantage of pur generation since we were able to get profit or discover ways to earn thru online and it is made much convenient in terms of payment transactions if we happen to know how to use crypto or bitcoin as payment. We can deal with online jobs and accept fees in bitcoin.

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.

This is what I am trying to point to some threads before that points out anything related to earning. There might be SCs that would last more than 5 years even, but at any day or at any point, it will end anyway when the devs decided to do so. I have a corporate job in software dev while also at least trying to get something in the sides through SCs.

Now that you mentioned benefits also, having an insurance benefits from a corporate job is also nice since nobody knows what will happen to you at any point of time. For socializing, oh man, I missed touching grass when I was freelancing. The lack of socialization led me to poor performance as well as lack of motivation to work or even learn newer skills in my own field especially that we all know that technology does not stop evolving.

[KingsDen]

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.

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

It's true because nothing is reliable at first. Saying no one knows what will happen the following week could mean that theymos may decided not to renew the domain bitcointalk.org or in the worse scenario end signature campaign.
I so much understand the advice but I think it's overblown and repeated unnecessarily while most of those giving the advice might be relying only on the forum earnings and still doing well.

[sujonali1819]

So as I understand, you say your father that you work in a online shop? Or you still going outside everyday to proove that you work physically?  xD

I know the generation don't want to believe that people can work in online or from online people can earn. Even they don't understand what is online (some fathers/grandPa). But laying with them is something what I don't like. Maybe try to them understand in some other ways except lying with them.

[kawetsriyanto]

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 is bitcointalking?
I don't know what bitcointalking is, so I can understand if your father doesn't know as well. If you said "you are a Bitcoin trader or a Bitcoin investor", I think it will be easier to understand. Please don't say something that makes us confused!  

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.

However, I don't see a chance that this forum to be seized by any government in the world. No one knows who owns this forum, so how can the government seize this forum? Even if a government claims Satoshi is its citizen, it can be very doubtful. This forum is decentralized, it allows this forum to last longer.

OP just fail to explain well about what he is currently doing that’s why when asked by his father, his father didn’t know what he is talking about. Most likely, his father is not aware about online jobs and all its alike including bitcoin giving us opportunities to earn. His generation is clearly different from ours as they may be used to see physical jobs, but our generation is more on virtual or online job opportunities. However, you should have told your father about that so he won’t do overthinking on how you make your own money without seeing you working on a regular day job.

The advantage of Bitcoin development to this generation is the fact that we are the originating generation and it's a big privilege for us to be around in the beginning because in the next generation, bitcoin will become more scarce and so will its knowledge.
Bitcoin has enhanced remote work through its payment processing that does require a third party unlike the old forks physical work is most essential and the only available means to earn an income, ops father may be of the older generations that do not understand the technicality of bitcoin and what it represent but since ops can convince the father of the possibility of remote working its become mor confident within the family knowing fully well that the ops are not involved in an illegal business.

Most of our parents think when young lads spend time on the phone, it's all gaming or chatting or doing something rather unholy.  It took the global pandemic to open the eyes of most parents, including mine, and they see and understand how one could possibly earn a living trading or investing in Bitcoin if it is properly explained to them. They don't want their kids involved in cyber crimes and related offences, hence why the parents always want the children to do physical work and earn salaries in many cases.
It is not due to ignorance on their path but due to love and care, so as we don't fall prey.

Agreed! Technology is a great development, but as much as we are rejoicing about it in the next few years what people feared the most will become a reality.. Which is computers taking over peoples jobs, advanced AIs and bots will take over some of these basic jobs and people need to advance their skills to survive this tech disruption.

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?

Bitcointalking love how you have used the word 

Otherwise bitcoin talking is my side hustle so really I do not need to explain myself to people but do encourage people to join the crypto space.

Even in modern times like today, you may still be approached by the police when you buy a sports car for tens of thousands of dollars when you don't have a good job in the real world. I mean, the police or other bad people can think that you're a gambler or you're a drug dealer, that's just a layman's assumption when they don't know what results when an android is used on best purpose.

Those who are clueless don't know that in modern times there are many job opportunities with the highest income, many publishers, traders, and more they have income above the salary of officials, but they are investigated from the amount of money they have and must report wealth to the state, but many officials are corrupt Even just the staff of the tax staff who have assets richer than the governor are not examined and no corruption suspects are determined

[JoyMarsha]

Don't forget to save or have other sources of income as you make money on the forum. The worst that might happen to any forum member is that they would have to completely rely on the signature campaign to survive. The signature campaign you joined today may end at any time, in case you don't know. In this forum nothing is guaranteed. Even this forum or signature campaigns could cease to exist or become irrelevant someday.
Before it's too late, you'd better start to think otherwise (get a side job).

[coupable]

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?

Well, I think that you're doing it wrong. "Bitcointalking" is not supposed to be a job. Relying on posting on a forum as a stable source of income can easily lead to big problems.
Lying your family about your job is imho even worse, although I clearly don't expect them to understand all this.
Imho the proper way should be to have a stable job (maybe at a shop) and whatever (and whenever) you get some extra from campaigns on bitcointalk... treat is as a bonus, because that's what it is.

In addition to those who have a stable income from signature campaigns every week, there are many others who can consider the forum as their main source of income.  Project owners, campaign managers, and maybe some admins are almost living here and have no other businesses in real life.  I don't expect all of those to deal with the forum as it is a bonus. I can encourage op to bitcointalking in his mean but not by relying on signature campaigns.

Maybe it's because the staff is protected that they don't carry out checks like publishers, traders, and others like you said. And I think this is unique for workers in the crypto space when they can store assets more securely in personal wallets of multiple sizes and are not known by any bank or state so there is no check for them whatsoever in this regard. Even though in the end they will also withdraw it through the bank, this can be done in stages so that they are not subject to scrutiny by the state.

[Arenga pinnata]

the past and the present era are different, especially in terms of technology. which are increasingly advancing and developing.
bitcoin is one of the characteristics of the progress of this era, bitcoin has become an interesting icon to study and to invest.
I am also very grateful that I can feel the progress of the times and can understand it.

He's using the quote work smart not hard , wrong in this situation, if you have finish school and only do bitcointalk campaign, you let your parents down, because even if you are earning in bitcointalk, you should have take also, taken day jobs, since you can do bitcoin at night, in this example you are being lazy, at the same time lying to your parents at the same time, you are forgetting something one source of income, is not a good idea, what happen if in one situation, you are unable to do campaigns, in digital world more work or source of income is better than having one, I'm not saying your 100% wrong but having multiple source of income is better.

As the days go by the world is getting closer to people. Technology has made people so much easier that it is amazing to imagine now. Our grandfathers, fathers and uncles were once at such a stage that they lived a difficult life, they did not get the touch of technology in a good way. It is truly a credit to technology that we live our lives today, bound by technology. Maybe our next generation will live with such technology that it will sound more surprising.

OP I want to go along with your post and say that I earn money by working on bitcoin forums, my family can't believe how I earn money by working. And people in my area think I might be robbing a bank and earning money from here..they still don't know about this bitcoin forum. Because of which they may express such regrets among us.

Even if a government claims Satoshi is its citizen, it can be very doubtful. This forum is decentralized, it allows this forum to last longer.

I see that risk is small but it is not the only risk. My example is used to help OP knowing about risk and advising him to have real jobs. Forum can be one of his jobs as additional source of his income.

Nothing can last forever and this forum too. If he does not prepare for the bad, when bad night comes, he will have a nightmare.
