Unlucky you. You must be a teenager if your parents and especially mom took such position about Bitcoin and making money online. She must be saw something negative on TV, I have also heard on a TV that bitcoin is a babble and new poizen pyramid. I think you have to show her other opinions about bitcoin on YouTube. Explain that it is not illegal and you don't invest anything in that besides your free time.
My family is ok about everything. For them it's more important that I have found a way to earn some extra money to my salary and they are happy with that.

Unfortunately this is the case with most people since they are not informed about bitcoin they let themselves be manipulated by the media, it is like to think the dollars are bad because drug dealers use them all over the world to make their deals.

as long as you explain it better with your mom that this system is not a scam or you are not participating in any thing which will harmed your family and yourself they will start to understand and maybe they will also start to invest with bitcoin the only thing matters is how you really explained it to them and give them proof that you are not doing bad activity.

Well, your parents are just trying to prevent you from being arrested as an internet scammer, we are all aware of this increasing trend by which fraudsters forges people banking details and transfer money into their account or fraudulently purchase goods online, you just have to convince your parents that you are involved in bitcoin is not a scam and shows them evidences to back up your claims.

That is a good way to convince your parents and i will do that after i withdraw my cash next week. I want to convince them that bitcoin and the things that i do like trading is not a scam and it is not harmful to do. I will show them my cash and also the transactions that i did in the past few months to enlighten them that everything is fine.

Parents usually disagree to anything connected with technology and feel like you are not using your full potential when you are "working for the internet" probably because they are somewhat conservative or not really open minded that people nowadays really earn their living through the internet and that not everything in the internet is a scam, there are actual jobs, and with parents being against bitcoin, it is also the same, because somehow when money and the internet is involved, it is already a red flag for them.

Maybe one thing you can do is share some of your earnings to your mom to prove that you really can generate income from this.
Or let her read related news regarding cryptocurrency and who are currently using and supporting this.
Maybe if she knows that even banks and known companies are now jumping into this, she will start to calm down and maybe have peace of mind when you're online & doing crypto transactions.

I don't think that would solve the problem. A dealer can show the money he earned from drug trafficking but that would give his parents peace of mind would it? The mother thinks bitcoin is illegal and can result in her son getting locked up in jail. She needs to be educated but a step at a time because for older people it's harder to fully learn new things. Especially if she isn't familiar with computer science and finance.

if my parents always agree with what I make as long as it's still positive, well maybe if my parents do not agree with what i've made now, i will retreat to bitcoin.

giving explanations to parents who have never received an education will be very difficult. this is a hindrance to our work. how best to introduce them to a digitak currency pause, perhaps by showing bitcoin-based ads.

It drives me crazy that people are so inept at reasoning that their logic pretty much goes, "if the government or my peer groups say something is okay then it is. If they don't it must be satan." Honestly, by their logic using dollar bills should be illegal because some people use them to do illegal things. Bitcoin is literally the same thing, only the power of the currency lies with the use not a bank or some other organization.

Keep working on crypto dude, grow up to be a millionaire before you're thirty.

I think the reason why they dont trust it, is the lack of knowledge the old generations has sticked to the tradition that you can't find money if you wont work for a real company job and there are some mis-interpretation about bitcoin that people think that using it is bad and will make you a criminal. They need to be educated about the limitless potentials of bitcoin unlike their fiat currency. They might not even know bitcoins aspects such decentralization, fast & reliable, security.

Correct, the times have changed a lot, the world of fifty years ago is not the same as our world, you cannot work any longer for the same company for 40 years, you are lucky if you work 3 years in the same job.

That is not really the issue the issue the op is having that his mom thinks that he is doing something illegal so I think the best way to deal with this is to show his mom how he is earning his money online.

I must agree, The whole point of the parents on being strict about joining Bitcoin is to protect you (even though you're anonymous in this industry) showing your earning won't help, hence it will only trigger them to force you to stop doing it. It's quite a challenge to make them believe that you are doing nothing wrong. Also, even sharing how you earn won't solve it (As I see) because they still don't have any idea about the industry. I highly suggest to explain them the background of this industry (Though I still doubt they will accept it, but just try)

To OP, Try asking your parents on why they're against Bitcoin. Maybe that you've done before on the social media that caught their attention. Parents do have their own explanation for that, Just try to clarify it.

Also, I think that they don't really like how the advancement of the technology affects people's attitude. In which contributes their dismay towards it.

That is what we called a "mother's love". She is only concern to you. Maybe she lacks knowledge about Bitcoin and all she know is that it is being use by some criminals in the deep web for their transaction. You need to educate her more about it and tell him the good side of Bitcoin. Maybe she'll understand if you do.

Getting them to see reason and understand is the only way to convince our mothers who are not technology inclined to understand that we are not intending to perpetuate crime with Bitcoin and do I will urge him to educate her first on Bitcoin.

Just explain to them what bitcoin is. Is using bitcoin in your country is prohibited? If not, then don't mind them. Sometimes they'd just being skeptical because of what they see on news about bitcoin. You know, parents are very protective. Thats their nature. But as long as you're not doing anything wrong or illegal, just keep working on your bitcoin. Just prove to them that bitcoin can change your life for better.

Right on the target! There is a huge technology gap between the old generation and the new one. Our parents or elders find the new ways somehow troublesome and most of the time, I find this expression of fear on their faces when they discover a new item, which makes me giggle every time. Technology is changing every second. I feel it is better to not trouble old people. Let them enjoy their remaining days the way they want to and guide the new generation about Bitcoins.

All parents are protective. But you can explain to them in a nice and respectful way. I also know someone, from the day this someone started to sit down on the computer and made the process his parents never stopped discouraging him and nagging and never stopped being negative. But now the mother is even the one managing his earnings from bitcoins.

its hard to tell them about bitcoin.
your mother have different thought, and she believe that is illegal. i mean it can make you throw to jail.
its old generation, they wont believe in knowledge.
you must tell your mom, many people, like investor or whatever that connected with that use it. and tell some country already use as payment.
