I have found bitcoin knowledge videos for children on the YouTube site, maybe an explanation of simplified material about bitcoin will help explain to grandparents or parents who are unfamiliar with digitization, other solutions you can explain based on the antonym of the bank system that no one can manage and price levels are followed based on supply and demand.

Comparing grandparents and children is not correct, since the former are already retired and the main thing for them at this stage is the upbringing of their grandchildren and the rest they deserve for their many years of work. As for children, they have their whole life ahead of them and there is plenty of time to acquire new knowledge.

You don't need to force grandfathers and uncles to understand Bitcoin, especially grandfathers of course with old age, it's bit difficult for them to understand how the system works and how to work in Bitcoin to make profit. If you want push them understand about Bitcoin have you try step by step and guide them for basic information about Bitcoin.

Each person have their style and we can't push him like about our hobbies to earn money due they dislike to learn about Bitcoin or cryptocurrency, I have the same experienced with you due my young brother not excited yet about cryptocurrency and want to learn with Bitcoin as the best investment way.

Not Your Keys, Not Your Bitcoin

Quote from: Vvang on January 18, 2023, 10:52:00 AM

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.

This is funny;D, the headline isn't contradicting your explanation. Just because your grandfather doesn't understand bitcoin doesn't mean they are not the right people to live with, I enjoyed every moment I had with my granddad and I still wish they are still alive today, you wouldn't know the value of old people around you until you lose them, this is not joke/clout chasing my friend.

On the other aspect they not understanding Bitcoin enough as digital money, there are plenty of materials online as a beginner guide for young and old people to understand bitcoin, if you know bitcoin as you claimed you're making money online, you should be able to convince them, it is all understanding the concept, you don't have to go technical to make them understand the concept of bitcoin.

When you have made money from bitcoin, try to show the balance to your uncle and grandfather, they will definitely ask whether it is income from bitcoin or not. You just have to explain that bitcoin can make money but after that try to explain slowly that bitcoin is a very valuable cryptocurrency and will not waste your time.
explaining to lay people or like your grandparents and uncles who don't know at all certainly requires patience, they will also understand if you patiently explain it.

This actually does, and another way to explain cryptocurrency. Is that it's an investment but can be really risky if you don't know what you are doing like investing and just following the trend. Older people will surely appreciate this kind of new technology that will help people and life makes easier.

parents may be a little confused because they used to live in an era that is not modern like now. when you explain about bitcoin, they won't automatically understand right away.

maybe you can explain it slowly. because telling someone what they don't understand takes patience and persistence. then, it's understandable that they are also old so don't be too hasty so they understand what you are telling.

Your results in the future will justify what you are doing now, just don't lose focus. I have heard many people who are now successful in what they are into tell their stories of how at one point their parents who are of course older than they are disapproved of what they were doing and wanted them to do something else. They went against their parents are kept doing what they were doing until they became very successful at it, and it convinced their parents who later will become happy at the success of their children. Do not stop doing cryptocurrency because the older people you live with do not approve of it, they are already close to the end of their lives, and you must know that any decision you take, you feel the effect more than anyone else. You will regret in the future if you stop investing in cryptocurrency now.

If you find it difficult to explain to them what bitcoin is, you better not try to explain it because it will be difficult to make them understand it.
You can only explain that you work online and can make money for your life and to meet your needs.
Maybe you can ask them to make a business that is not related to bitcoin instead of explaining it because they won't believe it and open themselves up to receive something new.
We can't force them to understand bitcoin; I don't think that happened to us either.

Educating the illiterate about digital currency can be difficult, but not impossible. The best way to start is by familiarizing them with the basics of digital currencies and their functions. Explain the concept of blockchain technology, mining, and the various types of digital currencies. Show them various websites and resources where they can learn more about digital currency and how it works. You can also emphasize the advantages of digital currencies, such as lower transaction fees, high security, and global acceptance. Additionally, you may want to consider having them speak with someone they trust and respect who is knowledgeable about digital currency.

If you are forced by someone to learn a somehow technical language, would you be willing to listen on their end?

The same goes for your uncles and grandparents. While the idea of sharing cryptocurrencies to people is the dream that we strive, we cannot force them to learn it if they personally shut themselves. Again, this is not for everyone- it takes a special person to fully grasp and understand the fundamentals and basics. Maybe they were right- you are indeed wasting your time by convincing them to learn.

Instead of telling it to them, channel your energy in sharing it with other people who are more curious and willing to learn about it. Create or join groups that asks for some discussions regarding BTC.

The fact that you like cryptocurrency and you manage to make a profit on it is not an argument for you to impose your opinion on the people around you. The fact that they have replaced your parents is already enough to respect them and their opinion.

When it comes to technology, learning new things is never easy, particularly for people who don't consider themselves technologically literate. Many people in this situation will simply scoff at the idea of Bitcoin, assuming that it can't be trusted, that it's too good to be true and that those who invest in it are fools.

I think the most important thing is to try and dispel people's fears about the digital currency, particularly those who are older and not very digitally literate. First of all, try avoiding the debate about whether or not Bitcoin is money. This can be confusing for people who aren't tech-savvy, and by this point most people already know what money is, so you aren't going to convince anyone to change their mind about that. Instead, try to explain that Bitcoin is a new way of doing things, for example, how you can send value anywhere in the world instantly and for almost no cost. What you should focus on is why Bitcoin is useful and how it can make their lives easier in some small way.

The way you share knowledge for ordinary people is very useful to help those who don't know cryptocurrency, actually they don't really care about crypto but make sure you don't get money from illegal ways, they are only worried if you get money from illegal transactions, but at first glance they already understand the explanation about crypto and already know the flow of funds that you have, they will definitely support it, because you already have an independent economy without depending on your parents.

It is a very starting problem for a newbie. Maximum old people who are not well-known about Crypto. You can get help from here who is researching more about bitcoin forums.

It can be difficult to explain Bitcoin to people, especially if they are older and less technologically savvy. You could use simple, relatable examples to help you explain how Bitcoin works and its potential benefits. For example, you could use the analogy of email or texting to explain how Bitcoin works. If your grandparents are familiar with the basic concepts of email and instant messaging, they should be able to understand the principles of how the Bitcoin network works and the advantages it offers. You do not need to know all the technical details of how it works in order to use it. Try showing them real-world examples of how it is being used, such as online merchants accepting Bitcoin as payment, or the growing number of ATMs that allow people to buy and sell Bitcoin.

It may also be a good idea for you to set some boundaries with your grandparents regarding your crypto activities. Simply let them know that you are working on something that you believe will be important in the future and leave it at that.

When I first started learning about bitcoin and attempting to share what I was doing, people would tell me I was wasting my time and that it was silly.

Curious though, did they talk again to you regarding Bitcoin again and how did it go after it went mainstream in the media? My former friends back then thought it was just a scam coin and not really worth learning and they went asking me again after we separated ways and of course I cut the communication off and did not bother to respond to any of their message.

I guess I should say that they are a waste of time as well, lmao.

What are their age range so that we can know how to classify them.
Btw, 56 to 66 years are not that old they can be thought or educates them about bitcoin and the importance of digital currency.
If in a way they are 67 years and above then I doubt if they could find interest in digital currency most especially bitcoin because they may not have time to study and keep records of the happening around the digital world.

For me, they are still old although they can still learn if we explain it better but just like what the OP's problem they seemed like close minded or lacking the interest when it comes to digital currency or computer thing. I will agree what was the above said that to leave them alone if they don't want to learn about crypto currency they seemed to have a different interest than us. Perhaps, find someone that's worth your energy to explain everything about of crypto.

And to OP, though I'm curious to know why do you want them to learn crypto/bitcoin if they don't want to?

Underestimate- nothing

When I first started learning about bitcoin and attempting to share what I was doing, people would tell me I was wasting my time and that it was silly. However, over time, after what I had gone through, I decided to be open about it and went on air at my place of employment to explain bitcoin in its basic form. It was interesting because it was an interactive section, and I was happy that I could share what little I knew at the time, despite what people thought.

You can not. they will not believe what they did not see in their teenage

But it's true they will understand if you say something bad about this digital currency.

They always will demotivate you to invest in Crypto.

Btw I am also living with Older people, But I don't bother to explain to them something about crypto / digital money because I know they will not believe it. They only believe in real life and physical works.
