You have to accept fact that is not possible to inspire everybody about Bitcoin.
All of us have very different background, experience, understanding etc.
Some people feel very comfortable using Internet and trying new things and some people simple don't feel comfortable with new technologies.
I don't think that you can do much about it.
Even if you show your dad some good earnings from Bitcoin, he will still be skeptical, I guess.
Just focus on bitcoin and don't talk to much about it with people who can't understand it, otherwise you will loose to much energy on something what you can't solve.

but i think it also depend on you that how can you convince a person, if you have good skill of convincing, then it will easy for you to convince your father, it is also a fact that every one can different convincing capacity of understanding,

Certainly a good convincing power can make your dad understand about bitcoin,gave an extra consideration and try to be more patient regarding on how you explain and let him understand the best way you can do, in that matter possibly your dad totally agree with you and even to open up his mind he can see how bitcoin works for you.

well if asking me i will tell him bitcoin now is a trending topic, its like investment but we can easily to exchanges it. its based on my own experiences i can show him the proof
(my bank's book)

Telling them that it is trending might just give them a wrong impression about bitcoin.... But telling them that it is the same as money and it is not illegal and you won't go wrong while using it would calm them down... Talking to a dad and making things sound awesome would just make you sound lying. They always care about you so even if they are asking you, sometimes they already know what you are talking about and just want to hear it straight from you...

If they don't want the idea, better stop, and just convince them next time...

I agree with what Rick said. you know parents are kind of sceptical to their children on what they may find or discover because they don't fully trust their kids. It's better to have trust with each other instead of just providing the children's needs. It's important, yes, the upbringing also is important.

Here is the story: My dad just found out that I am storing bitcoin and he try to prevent me from using this crypto. This is absolutely the worst situation I have ever had since I started used Bitcoin. I am living in the country which bad guys abuse Bitcoin for illegal activities. Therefore, most of the people here who do not have a proper knowledge about bitcoin believe bitcoin as a stupid, dummy coin or even MLM. My dad is one of them. Any solution to solve this problem ? It is quite hard though because I am still a teenager so it is extremely difficult to persuade him
Thanks in advance

I guess the thing that you can do is invite your Dad with you to en cash your bitcoin into a real money, and give it to Him, I assure to you your Dad will going to believe at once because most of the people nowadays are to see is to believe. So give what they want to believe in.

I have all the friends believe that Bitcoin is an empty space and nothing will come of it, and it is not useful

So what is your point in your comment? I didn't understand what you're trying to say. If you have friends that don't believe in Bitcoin, why should the OPs father believe in what you say? It doesn't help one bit. You got to think of something that could help his dad believe in bitcoin.

Give him some bitcoins and direct him to casino to enjoy and he will surely comeback for more and once he sees his winnings and convert it to fiat he will see the value of BTC

I think it is a way to make them interested in using bitcoin, while proving that bitcoin is a credible currency you have to prove that by using or investing with bitcoin you can get security and profit

i think giving him some proof of online business or at least some good proof about online shopping can convince your parents easily, if you have some bitcoins and you give some online order using bitcoin hope it will really help him to convince about the fact that bitcoin is a truthful currency.

If I am in your position, I will understand my father's side but I can explain it carefully so he can understand me too. It is hard to convince a person if he has no interest in a certain thing. According to your post, all he recognize that bitcoin is use for illegal activities, so show him the good side of bitcoin and the other use of it.

Try to explain him about the acceptance in big corporate firms, the successful technology behind it, the variation in price happening in accordance to time. Also the raising market capital and adoption from low level common men. Importantly explain how it overcame scenarios when people indicated it as a failed technology with its advantageous features. Sure your dad too will soon becomes a bitcoin user.

I guess theres no other way to convince your dad since the mindset of old people are fixed and sometimes they wont listen to younger ones. The only thing you can do is that you need to multiply your capital and withdraw it then show your dollars to your dad. Profit can convince everybody and even if you cannot convince him to use bitcoin then at least he will allow you engage in bitcoin. But if still he is not convinced then just do it in secret.

Just tell your dad that bitcoin was regulated in some countries. Also bitcoin is better than fiat, your bitcoin value will not decrease becouse the amount is limited so no inflation in it.

It's not easy to convince people who are not willing to listen. Whatever we tell them, as long as they are are not open and willing to understand what we are saying, it won't work. Actually we don't need to convince them, we just need them to understand bitcoin. Explaining both sides of bitcoin, like advantage and disadvantages, the price drops and price increases, and the hacks and dramas.

From the way I read it, dad has already made up his mind.
I don't think there is much you can do about that.
But you can explain to him, that your money is yours, and you can use it the way you think it's best.
Maybe you even have bitcoin as an investment. Adults like the word 'investment' for some reason.
He might accept that you use your money as investment.

Or probably getting pissed off and kick OP's ass immediately after directing him to play in the casino with bitcoin. Not all parents love to see their kid playing gambling but the majority of them will forbid their kids to play gambling. So your advice is kind of very risky unless his dad is really into gambling and even let their kids play it

I think the father will be getting pissed and Bitcoin will have a more negative impact to his dad's view. It is not risky but actually stupid suggestion. It will never help him to make his Dad understand about the legalities and good side of bitcoin. Giving Bitcoin to his Dad to play in Casino to prove that bitcoin is not illegal LOL.

It is always best to start with the basic. But first in order for one camp to listen, the boy must listen to his father first. Then present his case with all the proof that bitcoin is not the way his father know it. Look for an iconic actor or actress that believe in bitcoin as example.

Tell him that you do not trust in Bitcoin (that may be quite surprising but I think it is the solution, let me explain it). Tell him that it is for you just some toy that you are using to make extra cash by posting on a forum, that you will not put all your savings into Bitcoin, that you just like to earn some extra cash. You can stop here, or if you want to convert him, you can go further, by impressing it. In order to do so, order something online using Bitcoin. This is generally a good way to impress people, as they will now sense that Bitcoin is real money.
