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 ?
Like what other said, your parents are trying to protect especially now that internet or online world has made a bad impression specifically to "old generation" as you stated. The thing is to make them understand that it is legal with proofs that truly it is and back them up that the government released a regulation (if your government did so) and support or atleast recognize it which implies that Bitcoin is not bad at all and not a scam. Goodluck!
