Firt, I would tell him that playing with Cryptos is a bit like gambling and that he should be aware of the risks. He should only invest what he can afford to lose. And before spending a dime, he should really investigate which coins are worth to buy. Also, I would mention that hodling is at least as profitable as trading but it is much easier to handle. All you need for hodl is patience.  ;)

Also, I think he should become a member of this forum and read as much as possible to become a "feeling" for the cryto sphere.

I think that the best way to introduce a newcomer to bitcoin will be to tell him what are the advantages of bitcoin against other fiat currencies, and to give him a small amount of bitcoin so he can buy something/ use it.
There is no better way of learning the system then actually using the system.

Let him send some coins, and then explain him that if he was doing the same transactions through his regular bank account it would be arrive in 2-3 days instead of few minutes, and it would have cost him much more then he paid for the bitcoin transaction.

You should definitely encourage the person to learn a bit about the technical aspects of bitcoin, provided they have the necessary background. I've enjoyed "Mastering BTC" by Andreas Antonopoulus. You can read the book for free here: https://github.com/bitcoinbook/bitcoinbook (https://github.com/bitcoinbook/bitcoinbook)

I agree with this! Because certain youtubers, “I will not go to mention names” Are just trying to say good things and good stuff about a certain Altcoins and not the possible negative about it, If your friend doesn't have any idea with Cryptocurrency yet then focus only in bitcoin for now, Well in the recent Bitconnect incident certain youtubers promote it so others would invest to it and yes it turns out to be just scam just always tel your friends that wants to invest in cryptocurrency to invest at their own risk, it is become more like a gambling thing because we can not know it a certain Altcoin will turn out just like bitconnect or the ICO might become bankrupt for certain issues, Just research more and read all their whitepaper, roadmap people involve in it and try to research for negative things about it before engaging in investing with it.

What would you recommend be the step 1? for them to approach?

I would suggest the first step is to make sure you really know it all, that guy is going to rely on your input so you should be careful with what you say. I would say choose a meeting at a bar where both of you're at ease.
Next step would be is to create pictorials for him to understand, make him aware of past and current scenarios. It would require more than one meeting and invite him here, he could earn some satoshi and good knowledge to start.

Introduce first what is bitcoin and the purpose of Mr. Satoshi Nakamoto why is created bitcoin.
The importance of bitcoin and crytpocurrency to people all around the world and how their market value pump and dump.
teach them how to create wallet and what is it for? and tell them how to recieve and send tokens or bitcoin.

Post by: CryptoBeefy on January 27, 2018, 09:39:16 AM
First of all it's great your friend wants to get into Crypto, be patient with him/her and remember we all started somewhere. The first piece of real advice I would give, and I would repeat this over and over, is to only invest what you can afford to lose. What I would also make clear is all the fees and at what point they occur. I've seen many people mess around transferring/buying/selling small amounts of btc and not realising the fees they incorporate. Then it would be worth setting your friend up on a friendly wallet, maybe something like Coinbase.

Remember bro never trust like for crypto signals in telegrams chat or others place which offer u for 200-300$ per months give a signals to trade to make u rich for 500-800% per months . Thats all shit dont trust them . Teach uself how to trade and start from micro money like 5-10$ dont trade for 200-300$ or 1k for start because u will make alot of mistakes on starts and will loose alot of money becose of that.

You can just redirect them to youtube for some good videos, also give him the important sites in crypto,like cointalegraph, ico bench, coin market cap. some good exchanges and so on. After all everyone should do their own due dilligence.

Post by: YzzyGo on January 27, 2018, 10:05:17 AM
First would be to warn them that, as this can be a quick way to earn money, it is not that easy. There will be huge risks to his money. Or even if he worked for it. Money will take (a long) time and it is not constant like a 9-5 job. But the pay-off can be huge.


Title: Re: Helping a Beginner
Post by: Sunyoto on January 27, 2018, 10:09:07 AM
For me very happy, with those who do not yet understand about  crypto money. For me they will benefit greatly, because they want many ways and insight on how good way to get crypto to us. So with a little time we give them a boost they can finally understand it a bit, time for them.


Title: Re: Helping a Beginner
Post by: Hexah on January 27, 2018, 10:19:40 AM
I think the best way is to tell them first how crypto begin and what's its purpose of making it. Next, tell him/her that the thing that makes bitcoin possible is because of blockchain technology then try to explain what is blockchain. Then tell him that bitcoin is not a loner and it has more but different cryptos out there in the blockchain. And I think what last to tell him/her is on how to earn some bitcoin and what are the needed things to have to get it.


Title: Re: Helping a Beginner
Post by: kentom888 on January 27, 2018, 10:23:02 AM
I will introduce them about
- Technology creates Bitcoin
- Applications from these technologies
Prices of Bitcoin and Altcoins from the beginning to today
- How to get Bitcoin or Altcoins.
From which will they understand and decide whether to invest? And invest in Bitcoin or Altcoins?

If I were to introduce bitcoin to a newcomer I will provide videos from youtube that can back up and explain the purpose and uses of bitcoin. Then I will explain further the things to consider, the advantage and disadvantages if the particular person decided to enter the world of crypto.

I think its not really hard to explain bitcoin to someone that has a knowledge in new technology. People are exposed to internet so its an advantage for them to understand bitcoin easily.

It's best to help bitcoin beginners. We will help them with the correct way to use bitcoin. Let us not laugh at or ignore them if they are not wise. It is better if we help them as well as for their good. It's happier if someone new learners come to you. Let's teach them so they can not fool or scammer them. That's because the scammers target those who have no knowledge of bitcoin.

Becoming a cryptocurrency trader does not require you years of time to learn how to be in this field, you should encourage him by teaching basic steps like how to buy and what aspects to consider while trading. By giving him article referances would be better for his understanding, also you should mention risk of loss, holding long term will obviously profit him as bitcoin is expected to increase upto $50000

Nice subject which is good it has brought up into this forum. First, I must say that as a beginner it is really a difficult time to understand immediately about bitcoin as this is experienced by all of us in this forum who had undergone this kind of situation. If you have a friend that is already familiar about bitcoin, then it could be better to seek advise from them and help will follow later. Next thing is do some personal research on the internet, lets say google or youtube which is also the best source of information that can help you understand more about bitcoin and how will it works for you.

First of all, i would like to give him detail intro about the bitcoin and what its power and how it can change his life so that he feels confident and his mind starts working and he starts getting interested about the bitcoin. Then I would refer him the idea of investing and trading using the bitcoin and how he can slowly make a good fortune either by investing on a long-term scale once in every few months or by trading on short-term basis according to weekly or monthly time-frame. Then I would also guide him about the small and valuable crypto coins which are trading below10$ where the money invested as early as possible have the potential to give them returns of almost 50x to 100x time the capital invested.

You want to help a beginner? If I have a friend that wants to know everything about crypto, my step 1 is to create an account here and let him/her learn with the help of this forum. Most if not all of the information relating to bitcoin. Even its for newbies or for a professional, you can read it here. I don't want to tutor my friend because me, myself is at the learning stage at this moment. Its better that my friend will try to learn himself/herself.

I'm sure your answer is up to the mark but I don't think as new comer he doesn't know what a "white paper" is! Oh let me guess now he needs know what white paper is first and then he can start reading it. ;-)

To OP,  you can start working with the forum itself and you will see many generous topics created for the newbie like you. It's a vast world and just reading white paper wont help. Realistically you have to know things which are out of the whitepaper because many things have changed since that!

Just go through the simple reasons first , may be few steemit blogs, forum guidelines itself and many topics discussion that are specifically made over the bitcoin.

First you must be knowledgeable about the meaning and function of cryptocurrency because if you are not confident to do this you might give the wrong information that can cause misleading information which leads to fear of investing. Its ok to share and help your friends here but please, do your very best so we can prevent people from thinking about bitcoin is a scam.

it is too hard to encourage a beginner to join bitcoin but if you will explain to them slowly how bitcoin is great and how bitcoin can help them in a right way then that's the time they know what is the important of bitcoin.but if the beginner is really interested in what you are doing then suddenly they knew it for good.

First, I would explain that engaging to BTC needs a lot of patience. If you aren't patient enough, then it's not gonna work.

Second, teach them one by one what are the rules. What they must do and don't.

Third, don't rush. It takes time to earn profit. You must not rush everything or else it's going to be over for you and your understanding.

I agree with that. You have to know why he wants to know the world of bitcoin and what he already knows. From there you will know the right approach in introducing him to the world of cryptocurrency. If he is a tech savvy, that would be an advantage. You can teach him the technology of bitcoin and how the system works. Letting him read through this forum will also definitely be helpful as this is also the place where I personally started.

There are many news portals and articles that discuss about bitcoin. I think it's not hard to learn bitcoin and altcoin from google. But indeed the most effective and informative is to learn from this forum.
Basically, the main thing to do is to build a basic knowledge of cryptocurrency with a lot of reading.

First tell them about all advantage /disadvantage about bitcoin / crypto what you know . Then search a blog or youtube channel with your local language which provides good news ,idea , up to date news , about crypto. And show them your btc investment history , And tell them before invest in btc learn more about it, because if anybody who has no patient and is a emotional person , always will suffer a mental concern after investment. so it should tell them to invest in their own risk.

Diversify Effectively.Over the last several years, Bitcoin has produced some very impressive gains, and media outlets have developed a steady stream of stories about "Bitcoin millionaires."While these stories might tempt an investor to put all their money in Bitcoin, keep in mind that no investment professional would advise an individual to put all their eggs in one basket.When creating a diversified portfolio, investors could consider altcoins, more traditional assets such as stocks and bonds, or both.The basic idea behind diversification is creating a portfolio where a decline in one component will correspond with an equal gain in another.
For example, let's say an investor has a simple portfolio, consisting of equal amounts of Bitcoin, Ether, Litecoin, Ripple and Bitcoin Cash.If one digital currency falls 10%, then ideally, another digital asset will rise by the same amount.

If with the risk I really agree with you but if the world of crypto equated with gambling I do not agree.
Because investing, trading, not only requires luck but requires expertise to analyze as well.

I think you should surely focus on the utility part of it instead of focusing on the speculation part. Bitcoin is a part of wild cryptocurrency market and the movements on the price chart are almost impossible to predict. While focusing on the utility part, help him to understand the difference between traditional centralised system and innovative decentralized system. Do not force him to invest in Bitcoin but make sure that you are covering every aspect in easy to understand language.

First, you need to tell him everything about crypto, the meaning, what it is, how it works, and everything that can make him get the idea about crypto so he won't be clueless later.
After that, ask him to make an bitcointalk account and start browsing here. That way, he will learn many other things that you may not explain.
Having an account also can help him if he's going to earn bitcoin here, like joining the campaigns and such. So he can feel the benefit and doesn't regret joining this crypto world.

We should first explain the Aspects and Techniques of Bitcoin itself to people who want to join Bitcoin, then explain also that for beginners there is not much to do especially to get Bitcoin. What a novice should do is how to improve the account's ranking, by making a lot of constructive writing on the forum provided by Bitcoin's moderators. Good luck.

You should tell him the advantage and disadvantages of bitcoin then what are the ways to earn bitcoin and how to do it. Like trading, mining, joining signature campaigns and maybe gambling too if he is fond of playing gamble. Then you can starts to tell him the altcoins, ICO, airdrop, bounty campaigns, well it is different than bitcoin but you can just tell him what is altcoin.

There is no step one when someone is asking you about Bitcoin - you need to be knowledgeable to the point of being able to answer all newbie questions.
You can't prepare a plan of the conversation - what if someone asks you about random stuff you have no idea about?
I am not saying that you need to be master of blockchain or know all technical stuff  - just don't be a knob.
Forget about youtube - there is a lot of idiots or newbies there trying to force their opinions on others. Just learn the facts: bitcoin wiki, bitcoin.org, BIPs etc.

It all depends on their interest, from which side they assess bitcoin.

Crypto is nothing like gambling, a crypto is just a tool or medium you can buy or sell, whereas similar to gambling is an investment business, and in its scheme the investment business is very similar to a gambling called a roulette.

Helping a beginner is a very good thing. But first of all, people come to the crypto market without knowing this. First help or step 1 should be, give them the advice to learn something about crypto. At least what are the pros and cons of the crypto market, each and every newbie should understand that. After knowing about the crypto market if they decided to take part, then we can give them other advice.

First tell them about all advantage /disadvantage about bitcoin / crypto what you know . Then search a blog or youtube channel with your local language which provides good news ,idea , up to date news , about crypto. And show them your btc investment history , And tell them before invest in btc learn more about it, because if anybody who has no patient and is a emotional person , always surface a mental concern after investment. so it should tell them to invest in their own risk.

I agree. The best way to show people something is by example and actual facts. Show them bitcoin in action perhaps get them to sit next to you while you make a bitcoin transaction to purchase something so they can see the real world application. The graphs and things will just add to it.
THough some people are ignorant and you can't really get through to them so people like that I would just ignore.

Helping a friends/beginners is good. Just let them know the meaning of bitcoin and how risky in it if they invest there money. Just give them 50% of your information but tell them to reaserach very well because google is going to help them just like us when we're newbies.

Firt, I would tell him that playing with Cryptos is a bit like gambling and that he should be aware of the risks. He should only invest what he can afford to lose. And before spending a dime, he should really investigate which coins are worth to buy. Also, I would mention that hodling is at least as profitable as trading but it is much easier to handle. All you need for hodl is patience.  ;)

Also, I think he should become a member of this forum and read as much as possible to become a "feeling" for the cryto sphere.
Even though Bitcoins is one way to get rich,I think we should make sure that we tell those who are interested in investing in it that there are indeed some risks involved it t as well so that at the long run, no one is going to blame you for their losses because you convinced them to invest in the first place.


Title: Re: Helping a Beginner

I think the best way is to tell them first how crypto begin and what's its purpose of making it. Next, tell him/her that the thing that makes bitcoin possible is because of blockchain technology then try to explain what is blockchain. Then tell him that bitcoin is not a loner and it has more but different cryptos out there in the blockchain. And I think what last to tell him/her is on how to earn some bitcoin and what are the needed things to have to get it.

Yes, I agree on you. They must read more more first about bitcoin. They must need gather many information or data for them to know more about this. They must need to know what is really the purpose having bitcoin and how do this begin and it is really my pleasure to help them to know this. Begginers must need to read more and must know what is the blockchain. After they already know this, must tell them on how to earn using a bitcoin.

I think that the best way to introduce a newcomer to bitcoin will be to tell him what are the advantages of bitcoin against other fiat currencies, and to give him a small amount of bitcoin so he can buy something/ use it.
There is no better way of learning the system then actually using the system.

Let him send some coins, and then explain him that if he was doing the same transactions through his regular bank account it would be arrive in 2-3 days instead of few minutes, and it would have cost him much more then he paid for the bitcoin transaction.

If I will help the begginers, I will them first read more about bitcoin. They must need to gather more information or data for them to know bitcoin more. They must need to know what is really the purpose on having bitcoin and how did this begin. And it is really my pleasure to help beginners. I really do love to help them if ever they want to learn.

as a beginner the first thing you need is a little research about the bitcoin, what does it do?, what is it all about?, how the you maintain your wallet. and second by joining this forum will enhance your intellectual ability on how to post, the way to compose your post.  thirdly before going to Bounty you need to read and understand their rules to know if you meet to their requirement.

because the crypto world has great risks, so I think you should explain to him about the basic theory of the crypto and bitcoin worlds, because a beginner needs a theory before they trade, invest, or join bitcointalk, and this will help him to move slowly .
after you explain the theory to him, I think you can directly practice.

I would recommend showing some sites like bitcoin.org or similar, shoe them these fourms because any problem can be solved and every question can be answered here. You should explain how to set up the wallet and explain how the price works. Then after the explanation, show some good sites for buying Bitcoin and show some methods for earning Bitcoins.

When you first start investing in the cryptocurrency and bitcoin markets, the first thing I would recommend is to invest yourself some time to research and capture the basics of the market for you. Get the most out of it. Once you have a basic knowledge, you should only invest a small amount of capital to gain experience, after you have truly grasp the dynamics of bitcoin and cryptocurrency, then think of investing a lot than. Do not be greedy and invest all that you have.

Try to be more specific. If you are going to introduce BTC and crypto, then say facts about it like it is decentralized and extremely volatile.
There are many ways to have cryptos especially BTC because it's more mainstream than other coins.
How to get him in ? Suggest ways to buy, exchange or earn.
If you will be introducing websites or forums remind him or her that there rules to be followed and it becomes stricter time to time.

A good initiative here. Well, I did taught some people a while ago and it has been nice too. But I started with getting details of what they knew before I started teaching what I knew.. I did say it will be nice if they can start schooling on this platform too.

I agree with this! Because certain youtubers, “I will not go to mention names” Are just trying to say good things and good stuff about a certain Altcoins and not the possible negative about it, If your friend doesn't have any idea with Cryptocurrency yet then focus only in bitcoin for now, Well in the recent Bitconnect incident certain youtubers promote it so others would invest to it and yes it turns out

For me the should have a knowledge about the Bitcoin and Crypto because if they don't have knowledge on btc or crypto, they will not know what they are doing they are not good for buying and selling in btc or crypto. They should read some articles about the two and they should read some threads here for them to find how to buy and sell and invest in the two. Me when I started in this industry I first asked someone who is already in the BTCand Crypto I also read some articles and info on how to earn, how to sell, how to invest, how to trade so I can choose what will I do with my BTC and crpto.

For me the First step would be introducing him the Rewards and Profits you can get by investing on bitcoin that will help get his attention fast and be all ears on it. Add some experiences next that can help him get a hold of what he is going to face, like how you did your first time at Cryptocurrency or your ups and downs on it. Bring out the things you've bought from it, like houses, cars, gadgets and etc. Then lastly, warn him the things that he can encounter that can cause problems for him, so that he can be aware of it from the future.

 What is Bitcoin?
What is the purpose of Bitcoin?
What is blockchain?
How does Blockchain work?
Why people have to need crypto?

If you are new to investing in bitcoin and the cryptocurrency market I advise you not to rush, read and read as much about bitcoin as you can to truly understand the technology and its applications. Once you have mastered the basic knowledge of the mayor's cryptocurrency then invest, but you should only invest a small amount of money first, invest and get yourself a lot of experience then invest. more. Financial market is not as simple as people think, always analyze thoroughly before deciding to invest.

Step 2: Spend a week doing their own research. Its very important to be confused before than after ;)
Step 3: Buy their first bit of bitcoins by themselves.
Step 4: Come back & tell you how it works & have a discussion.
Step 5: Enjoy the journey of constant learning.

First would be to tell them the history of bitcoin and how it works. Just a basic rundown, like when was it invented, the blockchain, etc. Then show him/her around this forum to get acquainted with the world of cryptos and exchanges. If he has any questions, let them list it down first before asking them to you. It saves time and effort to answer batch of questions at a time instead of going back and forth evverytime. Then go on to trading and how the markets fluctuate. How bitcoin price is determined. Then from there, it's up to him/her.

To help beginners in bitcoin, the first thing you should explain is how to work bitcoin, do not say that the job in bitcoin is easy, tell the risks and some possibilities that could hurt him, so he works carefully. After you explain the risks to be faced, you should explain the benefits to be gained if working in bitcoin so that he or she succeeds, then give some articles that can help him understand more about bitcoin.

You may find it really difficult to explain bitcoin to someone who does not have any idea about it. I think the best thing you can do is to ask him to read articles and research about it first on the internet. In that way he can explain how bitcoin works to himself. Then if he find something a bit confusing, entertain his question so you can clarify those. But still the best way to learn about bitcoin is to invest on bitcoin and learn from your experiences about it.

Tell him to join bitcointalk forum! There's definitely more Q&A about bitcoin and cryptos, than he can imagine. But before that, maybe you should tell him about benefits and implications of bitcoin, help him to download a wallet and to buy some BTC, so it will be easier to get into it.

For sure because bitcoin has both the advantages and the disadvantages so if they will face some kind of problem and a new user can get tensed about it so if they will know about advantages and disadvantages of bitcoin form start then they will not get any kind of lose in future. Bitcoin is good right now so people are investing but we should guide then and tell them that in bitcoin price use to increase and decrease so they should not be worry about it and best forum for it is the bitcoin talk.org forum.

You have to explain and teach as much detail to them about bitcoin, if you need to show us evidence or something we've bought for them to really believe us that it's the real thing.

Someone I know wants to meet with me to talk about BTC and crypto.
want to get into it.
What would you recommend be the step 1? for them to approach?

spend some time looking for a lot of knowledge about crypto by reading. if i become you, that's what i would recommend. because basically, the level of trust is one part of the crypto world. basic knowledge is very important for beginners to have a picture and perception about crypto.

The first step to explain if anyone comes to me and wants to get into the crypto world is I will introduce first what is blockchain and what is krypto.
After that new understanding I will explain about Btc, from its inception until now and then I will explain about how to work and how to get results here.
my final step will show the results I myself have gained from Btc, this is to make him more excited.

My recommendation is to become an active user of this Forum: here many experienced traders share their experience with the other guys. You can also go to YouTube and subscribe to one of channels devoted to crypto, for instance, this one:

You may explain to a beginner that to start investing in bitcoin he needs to have patience, will to learn, money he can afford to lose and he should be coachable. If he understands these requirements I think he will be ready for this exciting  investment.

I think that the best way to introduce a newcomer to bitcoin will be to tell him what are the advantages of bitcoin against other fiat currencies, and to give him a small amount of bitcoin so he can buy something/ use it.
There is no better way of learning the system then actually using the system.

Let him send some coins, and then explain him that if he was doing the same transactions through his regular bank account it would be arrive in 2-3 days instead of few minutes, and it would have cost him much more then he paid for the bitcoin transaction.

For the beginner we should explain all the important information about in bitcoin. And when the beginner want to invest in bitcoin we should tell that he or she need extra patience because he or she will wait for a long period of time to make her or his money grow and have a much profit. And when the beginner want to earn bitcoin without releasing money he or she will join in signature campaign but he or she need extra effort, patience and focus because join in signature campaign or bounty campaign is very difficult .

She told me as well that I need to increase my rank inorder to join for campaigns. Try this maybe it could help.

First of all it needs to be checked the level of the  knowledge the beginner is having about crypto coins.   In case he knows nothing; first of all it needs to be defined clearly that it is digital currency different  from the physical coins we are using in our routine life;  also then he needs to be narrated about the usage of internet and need of a computer or mobile set to install and use a wallate through which all the transactions of crypto currency will be made once he enters in the market. 

Then as a second and most important step he needs to be informed about the risk involved in the trading in this market.  Tell him not to just follow blindly what the people are saying him; but personally investigate and gain knowledge by reading white paper and other materials available about it. 

Risk of burning hands by investing entire assets in it may be clearly informed.  Ask not to put all the eggs in one basket.  Initially only that part of money should be invested  loss of which can be tolerated without much pains.

Bitcoin talk discussion is the best platform where he may gain maximum knowledge by reading comments.  I have seen very much precious and important clues given by senior intelligent members of the forum.  So it will be best for him to spend few hours a day reading comments for 15-20 days and now he will be at the stage where he will have gained sufficient knowledge to decide the  advantageous acts in his favour.

First of all they shell realize that it contains risk, and benefit is not guaranteed. But you should also explain pros of crypto, advantages and ways to get profit.

First thing I would tell a beginner is patience.  I’m a newbie as well and I try to read and research as much as I can about crypto.  Many beginners jump right in and start buying coins or invest in these shady cloud mining sites without a clue.  They hear news reports and fear of missing out on striking it rich.  They should join forums like this and learn as much as they can.  This site and YouTube are a wealth of solid information.

I suggest teach them to understand what is cyrptocurrency and what is bitcoin. Also teach them to b patient on this, this is not easy to do so and it is risky. teach them the basic step by step. First teach them to join bitcointalk forum. Read the forum understand ang learn it. On that furom may help them to understand what is bitcoin. All they want to learn is on that forum. Encourage them to learn on it. Its because not all the time their is a good samaritan who willing to teach them all the time step by step. When i begin bitcoin may friend tol me to go for a airdrop just apply. But there is a lot off apps need to be in order to apply.

We should rather encourage beginners to learn about bitcoin and all it's technological advancements rather than have them learn about means of earning bitcoins for free in bounty campaigns as that has been the reason why many are not delving deep into learning about the technology and how it can help our lives in the future.

I agree and if they ask about the freeway, then we can explain about bounty campaign or another way so they could start to earn like other people's too. and if can explain about how the technology will help our lives, then I guess they will exciting and will be interested to learn more about bitcoin because I have seen this happen with some of my friends which is new in cryptocurrency especially in the bitcoin world. we should always open-minded if someone wants to learn about bitcoin and help that person so they could know that bitcoin is something that will bring something new to their life.

At the very beginning, I would warn him that bitcoin may be unstable and that it requires in-depth analysis to make profits. Furthermore, maybe you can show him some honest articles written in non-specialist language so he can fully understand them. It is important that he has some knowledge on this subject and then you can persuade him to invest or mine, not in reverse order.

That's a good question. I would say that you must first introduce the newbie to this forum for him or her to understand what is going on in the world of cryptocurrency. It is equally important that you hand hold the beginner initially to teach and explain the blockchain process etc. When you operate and work on it, the clarity of the subject deepens for the person.

ICOs and airdrops need to be discussed. Or you can ask him to see videos or read about the ways to earn bitcoins (for example by clicking on to my signature and reading the free report). This way he gets a better idea of what is it that is ahead of him.

Slowly it is important that you show him the trading aspects of altcoins and bitcoin. Then the picture becomes very clear. He will then be able to appreciate better, bitcoin value, wallet, earning and of course trading.

It is important that one appreciates the presence, prospects and uses of cryptocurrency and its potential to become the most accepted form of transaction all through the world.
