I think the problem here is the belief of his father about bitcoin. An empty glass can be easily filled with water but a glass filled with water, when you fill it with another volume of water, this water will spill. That is the case of OP at this point. If he want to convince his father and accept his idea, he should be the one to move first by following his father's advice. Then do what you have suggested him. It needs time to change one person's view. Else you will end up in a heated argument.

I don't think a son-father conversation would reach to an argument unless one of them is short tempered, because there is always a layer of love between then when they talk if they have good conversations most of the times, so convincing him with some good ideas and proofs wont be so hard i guess, but only if he can do it without any fear.

Tell him about it in a way he'll understand. Tell him if he would have bought $1000 worth of Apple IPO in 1980 he would be a multi-millionaire right now. If he bought $1000 worth of Pets.com in 1998 he would have lost everything. It's a gamble, as is all investing, and if you're right you could be rich. Also, tell him you're not going to invest more than you can afford to lose (because you shouldn't EVER invest more than you can lose).

Now, if your fathers an idiot, he won't get any of this and you shouldn't be discussing anything more complicated than ice cream flavors with him.

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

It's not easy situation, really.
It seems you are to young and don't have much authority tom convince your father.
Can you find some other person in your local area, older and more experienced, with more authority and with BTC experience?
If yes, ask such person for help.
If you can't find such person, try to find some positive media reports about Bitcoin and show to your father.
You have to be patient with your father.
I'm sure that he loves you and wants the best for you.
I'm sure that soon or later he will understand and support you.

my family also knows that i am using and keeping bitcoin they do not even know everything about bitcoin such as how it was working or how it was made and started etc. but they do know that this is also used by fraud and criminals on the internet as i told them about it but still i had explained to them the good side of bitcoin and my parent only advised me to be careful and responsible on using it. in your situation i guess, doing the same way I did before will only make you scolded by your dad because as what you have said you are from the country bitcoin is mostly used by illegal doers but still try to make him understand that it is not the only purpose of bitcoin.

If you are inviting your dad to use bitcoin currency you need him to tell everything about this crypto so he would show his interest too. Don't tell the bad side first tell the good sides of using this one if he don't have work he can use bitcoin itself.Therefore your dad will start using this. Don't also tell your dad about investment tell him about trading into crypto currencies and real money online

Try to show him some of your earnings and cash out some and let him know that it is worth the time you spend on it or it is worth holding, or you should buy him something with your bitcoins and tell him that it is not important that a currency should only be used for bad.

That trick works all the time. When I told my dad to invest in bitcoin he told me that it is another scam and he is tired of investing on nonsense things. SO what I did was to ask my dad every friday night to go out for a dinner together with my family, but everytime I did that I had to pass by the atm machine. My dad wondered, where did you get money for our dinner every friday night. I told him its from my earnings in bitcoin. THat day my dad believed me. Try it guys it works.

Chances on making your daddy believe you is high when you do this kind of method or ways on how to introduce bitcoin to him. Good for you that you could able to think off that kind of method actually this will work if your dad is not busy enough on some other things that they could able to hang out with you but for some people whose dads are too busy i think it would be worthless but better to try than never.

Limited in number. Limitless in potential.

I guess all you have to do is tell your father/daddy that you are making money with bitcoins, that you can make an extra cash out of it. And tell him also that it has disadvantages and also advantages but the most important is you can earn money without the actual help of your parents.

My family did the same to me. It is quite understandable that they have the inability to think forward in some cases, because they are taught to earn money from 9-5, save it in the bank and trust no investments.

If he doesn't believe this bitcoin thing, then so be it. It's his loss.

Some people are very set in their ways and they will no believe or even try anything new this is specially true for people of older generations where you could expect to do a job for 40 years and retire but in the current economy you are lucky if you are in the same gig for 4 years.

These may be exceptional cases, but over all if you can convince a person in a better way then he will really understand your opinion and most give a positive response to you. You just need to convince him in a good way. Giving him some live examples present him some tutorial and giving some good reference can really convince your father.

It is a strange but also a difficult situation. All depend on your dad character. If he accepts new ideas then you could attempt to inform him as best as you can. If on the other hand, is a man who hardly accepts something new then your options are minimal. That is, either you can stop dealing with cryptocurrencies (would be pity) or you have to hide it from him. You will read different opinions but as always the decision is yours.

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.

A reliable source or a newspaper clippings can change your dad's minds about bitcoin or why not pay a visit to a store where bitcoin is accepted or an atm and show him proof that you can withdraw fiat money by exchanging your bitcoin to fiat money.

Better try to convince your dad, otherwise don't tell to him that you storing bitcoin. Otherwise open another wallet and store your bitcoins in that wallet if possible.

This will make your father's mind change .

you can continue to store your bitcoin in your wallet in a secret place that only you will know but don't make your dad know about this and make sure your dad is believe that you are save any bitcoin. you don't have to tell your father and make you daily activities like usual and until the time is right, you can tell your father that you have a bitcoin in your wallet but you only use for a good purpose and for a good thing and if he still don't believe, so better don't push him to understand you. its hard to push someone to understand you, maybe let the time will solve this to you. trust me.

that must be suck few MLM could and few bad guys whose problem were exposed can really screw up bitcoin's image there. i'd recommend to show some infos about bitcoin to your beloved father and explain why it's trustful. some materials could be found out in youtube. just search "bitcoin explanation videos" and everything you needs will be there.

in my country also having some MLM which use bitcoin as their currency after failing with fiat and it's really give bitcoin a bad impact among people here
