I think you should start introducing bitcon to him if he is in a good mode. You need some good evidence to give him about bitcoin, you need to tell him all the feathers of bitcoin to him in a good way, and hoe that he will easily understand your statement and will start using bitcoin.
Bitcoin itself has 80% potential to get spread by itself but the remaining 20% is your contribution to make deal done.

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

Make him watch a bitcoin video. Tell him to get his act together or he is grounded.

you cannot "convince" or force anyone into an opinion and the more that you try the less success you will have. simply let them know what you do and they will either see it from you or not.
I agree, when i was starting with bitcoin, my family was very annoyed at me because i was infront of PC the whole day reading and learning about bitcoin economy and mining. They often scolded me about it and when i tried to reason out without following their suggestion, it became a heated argument. So I just follow their suggestion but while keeping myself into reading about bitcoins. Then after sometime, when I handed them my earning of around 1.5 BTC from different giveaway and bounty collected from tasks, they started to get easy on my activities with bitcoin. And now that i established my earnings even if it is not that big, they are now pushing me to be morea active to different activities and reminds me of my trades when they saw me relaxing and watching movies lol.

Why do you need your dad to be convinced about Bitcoin? Do you ask your dad before you get a girlfriend?
Bitcoin is a revolutionary innovation and you should take it as an alternate investment. Make it secret and earn it secretly. Bitcoin can be a source of eternal wealth for you. Don't engage your family members to bit coin.
Since we are all not the same i think he has already a problem for his dad that thinking that bitcoin is illegal to use,, or maybe if his dad has a plan to start a business he can use bitcoin too to start a business online and accept bitcoin. Bitcoin is a revolutionary innovation and you should take it as an alternate investment. Make it secret and earn it secretly. Bitcoin can be a source of eternal wealth for you. Don't engage your family members to bit coin.
If he can study it to use it they can start a business online make an gambling casino that neighbors can play and other country that can motivate other people to use..

I watched YouTube videos to understand what bitcoin was. That's what I'd suggest to anyone who doesn't understand what it's for. Also explain just because you see on TV that bitcoin is only used for crimes and hacking and shit doesn't make it true. Look at the USD. It's constantly used for crime. So is every currency. It's inevitable.

The best idea for now is to not tell your dad you are storing your extra cash in bitcoin, store some bitcoin secretly and when bitcoin price will be more than double than what it is right now show how you have been able to double your fiat within very short period.
I have also gone through similar problem few months back when price was near $400 and now it is $700+ which have been enough for me to convince my father also to invest in bitcoin and he is asking me to buy some bitcoin for him also.

This is the worst thing you could possibly do. I'm a kid and I know.
Be open. If your dad hates bitcoin, accept it. You will get him to listen to you sometime. What you have to explain is that cash, like bitcoin is also used for illicit uses. Bitcoin is virtual gold, and can be used the same way. Bitcoin is not bad, just some of the people using it are.

First of all, i think you should explain him how many people are using bitcoin, and what is the price of it.
I think that you should also show him how many businessman are investing in this, because it might be a great opportunity for everyone to get a share from the pie!

No need to show them businessmen or any person who achieve their goal with bitcoin. Just showing them that you are using it for good and just like how you use money in real life, usually parents would go against you because they don't know the thing. Avoiding illegal transactions using bitcoin could remove their negative impression about bitcoin. In short, explain with honesty, no need to sugarcoat.
generally speaking when you want to explain to others about bitcoin you have to start by telling them what you yourself do with bitcoin.
for instance i always go with showing them how i can purchase things online with bitcoin without needing to have a credit card and pay extra fees. and then in the end i also talk about bitcoin as an investment and how it has been making me money.

I did convince mine by simply showing him how I get my own pocket money out of some posts on this great forum, I showed him how easy it is to complete some transactions with it. I got to convince him and now he told me to keep investing my time in it as it can someday become something big.
Giving demonstration is the best way to explain the technology of bitcoin. I use the same method while explaining about bitcoin to my friends, first I give quick introduction and then recharge my phone using bitcoin. I show them how to make a bitcoin transaction and how easy is that as compared to other complicated options. I have helped my couple of friends to open their first bitcoin wallet and they are learning more about it.

I think you should explain to him that every one is different. When someone uses bitcoin to do some illegal things, it does not mean that every one who uses bitcoin also use it that way. tell him that there are a lot of way of earning bitcoin and spending it. give him some example, and probably you can show him how you earn and spend bitcoin. Keep trying.

give your dad a gift that purchased using bitcoin and tell him that bitcoin is not like he thinking, if he still try to Prevent me from using crypto, do what your father said, parents have more experience.

There is some methods to convince your dad that bitcoin is real money and real currency just like fiat, for example you can buy something online using bitcoin and then give this thing to your dad as gift and tell him that it was sold by bitcoin, or if he connect and use internet you can invite him to this forum and show him some real deals made with bitcoin (there is a lot in the marketplace section).

you can suggest bitcointalk forum because there is a huge information about bitcoin and in the first i was also do not trust in bitcoin when i join this forum then i accept that bitcoin is really trustful currency.
November 29, 2016, 04:57:34 PM
You don't need to convince people, it's your investment, it's your money so keep going, your kids will be thankfull if you let some bitcoins to they after some 50 years from now 
You are correct in that aspect but there are different ways of thinking some times people do things behind the back of their loved one because “they know what is best for them” so the OP must be very careful about how to store his coins, especially if he still lives with his parents. Jump to:
