Whatever gives you money online is scam in the face of many people who have no idea what Bitcoin is all about, I have found myself in a situation where I have to explain ways I make money to some people because I am always absent when they need me most, even after I honored them due to the position they have in the family they start believing that I am into something that has everything to do with crime, I blamed myself for speaking up after, I was thinking they would understand, but they instead got it all wrong.
If people think Bitcoin has everything to do with crime, leave them be, they will soon understand what they have missed and some won't even regret because they have vow to never have anything to do with the internet, don't be surprised, some people still thinks this way.
In today's era, and by era I mean, the last couple of years, we have seen an undeniable shift towards digital currencies, especially Bitcoin. I totally get where you're coming from. It's disheartening when close family members, who are supposed to support you, turn around and, for a lack of better word, label you as a criminal or at least, associate you with criminal activities. But don't you think it's kinda ironic? Many were quick to trust traditional banks even though some of them were, let's be real, shitty at best.
Bitcoin, as you rightly put, is much more than just some currency involved in criminal dealings. And while trash humans may equate it with crime, they forget or maybe ignore, the vast potential it offers. Also, not everything that glitters on the internet is gold. Or, I mean, Bitcoin isn't gold, but it's, uh, valuable?
Also, support for Bitcoin should never go away. Those who think it's all shady should learn from time and technology. Even if it takes two or three decades. Who's keeping track? Still, always back Bitcoin.
