My parent , especially my mom , she always tell me to stop doing bitcoin otherwise i will go to jail or doing bad things to social ! I don't get it ! Old generation seem very lack of experience in Bitcoin ! Why they keep telling us to stop when they even don't know how to check a simple email on ebay ! How to explain them guys ?
There is argumentum ad populum, a faulty reasoning where people conclude that something is true because they heard from someone that it is true and that someone heard from another anyone that it is true. In case of Bitcoin, it still ain't that popular, bitcoin to the moon on the third page, hackers demanding ransomware in bitcoin on the front page. So these negative events, dark market shutdown, bitcoin ransomware do have a negative impact and this impact is worse when people don't try to understand what bitcoin essentially is.
Old generation is institutionalized by the fiat/banking system. Bitcoin is a bit technologically advanced for them to understand and psychologically what we don't understand, we don't approve of.
Maybe in the next 15 to 20 years it would be much easy to explain bitcoin and bitcoin technology. Right now it's a bit tough, but still you can explain it to your mom that using bitcoin and going to jail or doing bad things to social/your social life/society isn't the same. Just a suggestion, don't use your parents money to invest on bitcoin.
