See I have this problem, I am living with older people since I lost my parents at a very young age and I get so attached with crypto and I am making money out of it but the problem is my grandfather and uncles do not understand what Bitcoin is all about, believe me, I've tried to explain but they just won't get it. What can I do? They kind of believe that I am wasting my time.
How do one educate the illiterate about digital currency?
I think the phrase "educate" parents is a harsh word, you should only tell what you want to convey to parents, and when they respond negatively about your explanation it doesn't mean you have to force them to know about crypto, I think you have to be right. -prove it to your uncle and grandpa that you can earn money from crypto, chances are if you have already made a decent income from crypto, i think your uncle and grandpa will believe you and won't give negative feedback like they initially do.
In my experience, it is difficult to explain the latest innovations to the elderly, especially if they are not good at technology.
