Some parents might be close-minded and sterile in thought, or they may not be worthy or qualified for their children to disclose their private matters to them due to their old age and lack of experience, and misconceptions about this field, that it is a scam, unreal money, and a lot of nonsense and falsehoods as if their son were a Drug Dealer.
From our perspective, when parents discourage or forbid, we think they are close-minded and sterile in thought...But from our parents' perspective, they only want the best for us and don't want us to get lost in life. Which parent wants their child to become a criminal? Which parent wants their child to go to prison? Surely no parent wants that. We should not blame our parents because they are the older generation, they have sacrificed their whole lives to raise us and ignorance is inevitable. Instead, let's find a way to explain to them what we're doing, let's find a way to dispel their doubts and worries about bitcoin. Don't try to hide it from them because that will make them even more suspicious, and things will get worse.
