Try to explain anything about cryptocurrencies to your parents/grandparents

My mother visited me few hours ago and asked:

- Why do you spend so much time on your computer past few months?

I answered, shortly:

- I'm trading!

- You're trading what?

So I tried to explain to her all about Bitcoin and how it all started. I used simple word as: INTERNET CURRENCIES, buying, selling, waiting for the best time... then I started to explain to her in more complicated sentences which included words: diagrams, Ethereum, Steem, Dash. I tried to explain to her that you can actually earn some money by trading but she interrupted me:

- That is some kind of fraud! I advice you not to invest your money in it!

I got mad and I realized that further explaining would be meaningless. So I went on Steemit to write my new post and she asked me what site is it. So I told her how Steemit works. She didn't understand a word! I tried to explain that you can earn money by writing posts and comments. I even try to use "children words" to explain how voting works. I told her that I earned 86$ few days ago on my post about selective breeding. I even told her about low price of Steem and that she could buy some, because today it fell below 0.002 and I expect it to start grow up! So she asked:

- But where is your money?

I told her that half of that amount was added to my Steem Power, but with other half I also bought Steem Power. I must mention that I had a lot of trouble trying to explain to her how Steem Power works. She asked me typically "20 century questions and quotes" like:

- You earned something, but you gave all back!

or:

- If you get money for posting, then someone other lose that money!

or:

- Why are you doing it, you have bank for that!

or:

- I don't believe in it, someone will robe you!

I hope that you guys have more opened parents for this kin of things. I love my mom but you can't explain anything to someone who still walks around with Nokia 3310. Peace!
