Title: Best ways of bringing Bitcoin to non-crypto users
Post by: Chain Clash on November 12, 2019, 12:59:24 PM
I just ordered the Wirex card and hope to get it soon. The idea is to receive crypto (Bitcoin) by doing stuff that I would be doing anyway.

What other ways do you know to receive / earn Bitcoin for everyday stuff outside of the crypto world that could bring Bitcoin and other crypto directly to users for them to spend?

I know I'll get a lot of backlash but I think that FaceBook's Libra Project is pegged to take mass adoption by storm. FaceBook and it's partners, Occulus Rift/ Instagram/ WhatsApp make Facebook the largest social media platform in the world. If congress were to give Mark Zuckerberg the green light to go ahead with the launch of Libra platform, the cryptocurrency sector as we know it could rapidly change.
   All of the sudden the world over would be educated about cryptocurrency thanks to the Libra platform. Eventual those Libra users will trickle down into other crypto related projects and communities, so on and so forth. The market would naturally get a boost in growth. Bitcointalk would be flooded with new users like never before. Everyone will want in as the forum experiences a booming surge in traffic. If you thought people were complaining about bounty standards and low ball pay as of now, wait until there aren't any left to complain about  ::), you'll be asking where did all the airdrops & Bounties go?

What I don't understand about how Facebook is proceeding with Libra:
Why don't they separate the currency Libra from the payment system Calibra, deploy Calibra into the Facebook apps and allow people to pay for all the things using other cryptocurrencies? This would dramatically foster adoption.

In a separate (and more complex step) they could create the Libra coin (which is what they're getting regulatory backlash for) and rule the world with their new monetary system or whatever...

In my case. I'm collecting physical crypto coin and display it in my room and some non-loaded token are on living room. I always post on my IG and facebook about my collection and some facts about crypto currency. Sometimes, my non-crypto got interested in to my collection and then I will discuss to them what is bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. Collection is a very cool entry point to preach some word to your friend.

Just do it how most people do it, the easy and straightforward way. Earn fiat through a job, a business, or a gig, then use a percentage of the earned fiat to buy bitcoin in a peer-to-peer exchange. Or better, you can try to ask your employer to pay you straight in bitcoin.

This is exactly what I didn't strive for. In order for people to spend their hard-earned fiat for crypto, they have to be very convinced that what they're buying is worth an investment. If they get some crypto for stuff they do anyway that's a much better way of introducing crypto / Bitcoin to average people.

what you are saying sounds more like one of those micropayment jobs you usually see advertised on the internet which are a complete waste of time and could even infect your computer if you follow their instructions including visiting random sites! they advertise it like "things you already do" then you see you have to do mundane tasks for long hours to make a cent!

Because the problem is mostly not getting bitcoin to people in my opinion. The problem mostly lies on the people actually thinking that bitcoin is actually important and could be worth a lot more in the future. If a certain person that doesn't care what bitcoin is gets a hold of some bitcoin through whatever manner, there's a good chance that he/she's going to immediately sell it for some dollars anyway. The solution is a lot more of in the educational/knowledge aspect in my opinion, rather than accessibility.

One of the examples is Wirex, where you get a cashback for all your purchases with the credit / debit card in Bitcoin. There are other credit cards with cashback systems, but also a lot of credit cards without.

Another example is Lolli, a cashback system for online purchases that pays in Bitcoin.

Microtasks could be a thing, but there you have to explicitly do something you probably wouldn't otherwise do.

But in general the fact that I can't come up with more examples is the precise reason why I'm posting this question ;-)

But don't you think that people get much more interested in something they actually own as opposed to something they could or couldn't buy?

I once gave a small amount of Bitcoin on a paper wallet to my family each as a Christmas gift, which actually triggered them to ask a lot of questions about how that works and what you can do with it. My brother then went to open a Coinbase account and buy some more.

Well, good point. In this sort of case, I couldn't think of anything on the top of my head besides Lolli. Probably earning BAT/BTC through casually browsing using the Brave Browser, but unfortunately you'd need to submit KYC/AML information(which I don't suggest you'd do) to collect the few dollars worth of BAT/BTC you earn each month hence why they have a bad reputation here on Bitcointalk.

^ There's nothing wrong with that and yet, that was good for them to let them know about Bitcoin if they receive small amount and begun to curious what Bitcoin is. Probably since you are giving a gift, I think much better if you include a video tutorial on how bitcoin secure and how to store it with it. But it depends on how much amount you are going to give, that they should appreciate on it and triggered them to buy a lot o Bitcoin.

Great for seeing the potentials that Facebook Libra is going to bring to the crypto hemisphere but the concern to most people really is the control. For me, I won't have any concern should it be maybe bitcoin or eth and other decentralised coin that the support is actually going towards and not about the indirect impact that Libra will have. Facebook and its products can conveniently boost of information about large percentage of the population that cuts across race, countries and continents adding crypto currency to add, would be too much power for one corporate organisation which if there is no proper oversight could be abused to the detriment of the larger society.

I believe that a good way to get started in Bitcoin is to just start as an investor in Bitcoin as a store of value. Then as that individual learns more about this asset, he/she can gradually branch out by using it to make a purchase or trade for another cryptocurrency.

Is there a particular reason why you don't suggest submitting KYC info to Brave / BAT / Uphold? I mean, apart from the hassle of doing so?

Well, there are still ways to earn bitcoin without doing trading and mining. Like what you said, earning outside crypto world is possible but you can't really detach your activity from crypto world since you are still aiming to earn bitcoin. No one in the crypto space starts ckean and good, they would need theuirr skills to leverage them in the decebtraluzed world so offering consultations and trainings could be a way to earn, since the demand for blockchain experties with traditional skills is on the rise, one could offer consulting and training servuces to newer blockchain projects.
        The list of people that could earn bitcoin just by doing what they are supposed to do anyway goes on and on, best examples are accountants consukting on fund managements, lawyers specializing in blockchain and crypto law, stock exchange brokers consulting crypto related stuff and such. They could earn whenever they are since its easy to get oaid with bitcoin rather that traditional  way of payment but time consuming.
       In terms of spreading bitcoin and getting non crypto users into using it, edicating the masses about it's advantage and how profitable bitcoin is could be a way or educate and persuade people to study crypto related things so they could offer services to businesses that needs blockchain and crypto expertise.

Ok, on the top of your head, name one investment where you got 800% profit in one year? Also, Bitcoin is a high risk investment and should only

form a small part of your larger portfolio. There is no guaranteed profits in Bitcoin investments, but there are a huge potential for large profits.

Look at the price history of Bitcoin and you will several opportunities where people could buy low and sell for a massive profit. I buy/sell old cars

and I use the proceeds to buy more bitcoins.  ;)

The whole point of creating and going out of your way to earn bitcoin is to promote cryptocurrency and the use of it, and if you are just doing normal things no one will care, things are the way they are because we need to show people the difference between crypto based things and normal fiat, and the ones that claim that they will pay for doing it are either a scam or just pay you a minuscule amount compared to what you do, so you are better of learning new thgings and new ways to earn because they make develop and learn new skills that you wouldn't learn if you do regular way.

Not sure whether this is going the right direction, but what I meant is that giving non-Bitcoin-educated people easy access to Bitcoin by "just giving" it to them is probably a better path to adopting Bitcoin than telling someone: "Hey, there's this great thing called Bitcoin which can make you money - go invest!"

That's why I was also giving examples like Lolli or Wirex - people can just shop without thinking about the price of Bitcoin (at first) or whether they're making a good investment, because they get it anyway.

If we want to reach mass adoption we cannot expect people to understand how crypto works. Most people don't even know how money works and where it comes from and why, and they don't want to.

This is actually a pretty good interview where Alex Adelman (CEO of Lolli) explains why this is beneficial for what many of us are trying to achieve: https://www.theblockcrypto.com/post/33099/alex-adelman-lolli

I all can think of right now is those reward programs that give you points or cash backs for using certain bitcoin based debit cards. Other than that, I don't think there are any ways to earn/receive bitcoin by doing regular stuffs outside the crypto world.
I wouldn't recommend getting those "free" bitcoins. First of all, those are not free. You have to perform some certain task to earn them. Secondly, you just get dust amount of coins that can barely cover your transaction fee.
The best way to bring non-crypto users is to make them understand the basic and the advantages of using crypto currencies.

Knowledge is the only and the best way to bring Bitcoin to non crypto users.  Knowledge presents the element of making people to know and understand what bitcoin is and its relevance to people and entire financial ecosystem. Knowledge prevents the spread of FUDs since people are aware of the true nature and purpose of Bitcoin. It is the essential tool for civilization.  Knowledge makes it easier for non crypto users to identify the similarities betwee Bitcoin and the traditional system of payment and the benefits Bitcoin has over the traditional system of payment...

In an individual level, what you're doing is quite a good start. It's quite difficult to introduce bitcoin on this level since the level of trust and persuasion is low. However, I'm seeing a lot more effect on public adoption through large conpanies initiating their move, like for instance, if Bakkt would make it possible for Starbucks to adopt even few cryptocurrencies, then it would make much larger impact on a widescale basis.

Basically, as much as possible I would like to not have my personal information out there unless completely necessary(PayPal, local banking, etc). The more centralized companies that have a hold of your personal information, the more likely that your personal information will be leaked online sometime in the future. Along with that, I'm not saying that Uphold is doing something shady, but we don't really know what they're doing with our information. We might not know, but they might be possibly selling it.

Then it will create a division that only people attending the conference or meeting will have the knowledge concerning cryptocurrency. We should trust ourselves as an individual, if we are to make a decision on how to influence others, it is quite better to influence personally as it provides deeper knowledge, not all in the conferences can ask questions, in person, they can. And if we succeed in each persuasion, they will also persuade others like a chain of reaction which is exponentially fast for great market adoption.

yes I agree with you the best way to get to know bitcoin is to enter into a bitcoin investment. we can benefit from bitcoin investments. and then if it's already profitable we can start learning to use bitcoin for payment.
of course before investing we must study bitcoin in earnest and study the risks we must face when investing in bitcoin.

I can hardly think of any everyday stuff through which one is going to spend or earn Bitcoin outside of the crypto world. Does gambling count, sports betting and casinos? I mean people who are not aware of crypto or Bitcoin but are often into betting and gambling online and they come across sites that are not only accepting Bitcoin and altcoins but are also giving them away freely through faucets and other promos for them to spend. They will probably get curious and would want to know more of it.

I am also currently using an app which is also offering Bitcoin and altcoins wallet and conversion. It is like a one-stop payment app where you can pay your water, electric, and card bills. You can also make use of this app to buy prepaid load and go online shopping. They are offering instant rebates which you can use immediately.

Best way for us to invite those non-crypto users, is to know make a survey what makes them interested, conducting seminars will be a good one, for example, having a seminar on how to earn part time thru cryptocurrency,this way we will catch up their attention and they will be interested in attending seminars.

We do have a lot of opportunity and it depends on the person how we wanted this to grab, but as a crypto user concern, we wanted the mass adoption, so we should help in a little way.

This may sound ridiculous, but this strategy works. I have some friends who are addicted to some online games, at the same time the way they can get their Game Credits is through the local exchange that we have (Coins.ph). I told them do you want to learn how to buy some game credits without spending something from your own funds? and I let them see my balance, Yeah! I got a lot of questions but at the end of the day, I let them watch some videos on youtube on what this all about. then there you go, that's my way to make them know how this industry works.

To see is to believe, that is the common thing comes to their mind.
Showing them on how it was done is a good thing but it is not enough, it is like you're spoonfeeding them, it is better to let them make research to know how it's done and how it works. Knowing the possible ROI will make them get into bitcoin and that would be a better way than just letting them enter without proper knowledge.

what you are saying sounds more like one of those micropayment jobs you usually see advertised on the internet which are a complete waste of time and could even infect your computer if you follow their instructions including visiting random sites! they advertise it like "things you already do" then you see you have to do mundane tasks for long hours to make a cent!

One of the examples is Wirex, where you get a cashback for all your purchases with the credit / debit card in Bitcoin. There are other credit cards with cashback systems, but also a lot of credit cards without.

Another example is Lolli, a cashback system for online purchases that pays in Bitcoin.

Microtasks could be a thing, but there you have to explicitly do something you probably wouldn't otherwise do.

But in general the fact that I can't come up with more examples is the precise reason why I'm posting this question ;-)

I am kinda sad that a decade after Bitcoin came into this world, people are still asking where they can get Bitcoin in exchange for the things they can do. The gigs economy that uses Bitcoin should have been big by now but unfortunately the whole thing failed to take off. Fiverr should have added cryptocurrency as one of the choices to pay and get paid but it has not. This big question is driving at the heart of the problem when it comes to the adoption in the grassroots for Bitcoin. We have to be honest in saying that there is a failure in here, and which I am hoping can soon be fixed.

Wirex may not be working globally and even if it does not all countries will have many merchants participating in the cash back program not unless Wirex is going to be establishing a real presence in each country. Microtasks sites that deal with Bitcoin failed to get critical number of clients and maybe they can be closing soon or shifting their focus from cryptocurrency back to the traditional way of payments. Microtasks should have been the best way for many people to acquire Bitcoin but I still have to see one that is really making a good volume of business.

Exactly the topic was going a bit off track. People will not be convinced by just saying bitcoin investment is something you must try because it gives you profit, they need to see something in order for them to believed like besides giving bitcoin to them, you can show them how you invest in bitcoin and how will you earn your profit in there, once they know how to do something they will surely be interested in it and will definitely ask you some more about bitcoin investment.
To see is to believe, that is the common thing comes to their mind.
Showing them on how it was done is a good thing but it is not enough, it is like you're spoonfeeding them, it is better to let them make research to know how it's done and how it works. Knowing the possible ROI will make them get into bitcoin and that would be a better way than just letting them enter without proper knowledge.

as you said to see is to believe. so once your friends or colleagues have done their homework and understand a lil bit about crypto, you can tell them to create an account for their online wallet or any of that sort, and will send them few satoshis to see how it works, and let them convert it to your fiat currency. so there you go, you just showed them that bitcoin can have actual value in your local currency. that action alone can show them that bitcoin can somehow be considered as real money already

I think it will only work if they understand how it can be used.
Well, it is for sure easy for them to understand since bitcoin is user-friendly and can be used by anyone.
By showing them how it was working, and by knowing that it can be used as an alternative option to pay through online, non-crypto users will continue using it.

Bitcoin is a digital currency which required you're time or resources to earn a bitcoin in the cryptocurrency industries, hence, for a non-crypto users, you have to bear in mind that bitcoin is an asset, which can not be free, but have to show working before earning bitcoin.

In an individual level, what you're doing is quite a good start. It's quite difficult to introduce bitcoin on this level since the level of trust and persuasion is low. However, I'm seeing a lot more effect on public adoption through large conpanies initiating their move, like for instance, if Bakkt would make it possible for Starbucks to adopt even few cryptocurrencies, then it would make much larger impact on a widescale basis.

Of course! I was asking about products which are out there already, though, but it seems that there isn't that much outside of Lolli (who just announced partnership with Alibaba) and the crypto credit / debit cards like Wirex or Crypto.com.

Exactly!

As with every other network, there's always two sides: supply and demand. On the supply side, you want to keep entry barriers as low as possible. Microtasks might have been a good start, but they also just reach a very specific group of people; that's why I'm interested in things that are actually understandable and usable for everyone (like a debit card) and provide extra Bitcoin (or other crypto) as a "side-effect".

In addition to the education aspect, mass adoption of services like Wirex and Lolli would lead to an increased demand for Bitcoin as they need to buy BTC on the market with actual fiat that they are processing.

Knowledge is the only and the best way to bring Bitcoin to non crypto users.  Knowledge presents the element of making people to know and understand what bitcoin is and its relevance to people and entire financial ecosystem. Knowledge prevents the spread of FUDs since people are aware of the true nature and purpose of Bitcoin. It is the essential tool for civilization.  Knowledge makes it easier for non crypto users to identify the similarities betwee Bitcoin and the traditional system of payment and the benefits Bitcoin has over the traditional system of payment...
teach them so that they can understand what blockchain, bitcoin , altcoin and cryptocurrency is really all about, in that case you may bring them to this world , study trading with them together so that trading would be easy if there is someone eager like you to know more about crypto, telling them that they can be rich in this world could be the worst thing you will do to convinced them.

Another feasible way to bring in a mass adoption that is guaranteed to pass within congress would be for Federally backed (Fiat) banks and other institutions of that caliber to go right ahead and start initiating into their own journeys with blockchain tech. There are so many Blockchain based projects cropping up offering new consensus algorithms, and betters ways to scale, etc,. If the Banks want to play catch up with the latest innovations in fincnial tech, they'll need to work into and integrate their networks with their own modify versions of Blockchians and issue their own modified crypto-currencies.

IBM is claiming that the integration of Bank & Blockchain technology will happen within a frame of 5 years.

  I know this travelcard that accepts Visa payments. They are offering a seamless spending of fiat and cryptocurrency with their application. What I like about this one is that they don't ask for conversion fee whenever you are trying to pay in different currency like usd to ringgit, usd to hkd etc.


Another example is Lolli, a cashback system for online purchases that pays in Bitcoin.
Beware with cashback system they might not be the best deal you could have, like their partner shop is overpricing than the other and what you are getting as a cashback is just an illusion. Also try not to use a lot of these application, since it is an extension, cookie trail might confuse itself to the point that it can't track the online purchases.

There are actually lots of ways you can do for you to bring information or knowledge to a non-crypto users. First of all, you can use the social media platform in which there are bulks of people using social media, we all know that there are different kinds of social media sites that you can use for you to be able to spread the goodness of bitcoin. You can use facebook since facebook is now adopting the cryptocurrency and they are creating their own. It is good because maybe they can earn libra and in the meantime by using crypto like that they will know more about cryptocurrency especially bitcoin, which is the most used cryptocurrency of all.

Post by: coinfinger on November 14, 2019, 03:48:03 PM
I know I'll get a lot of backlash but I think that FaceBook's Libra Project is pegged to take mass adoption by storm. FaceBook and it's partners, Occulus Rift/ Instagram/ WhatsApp make Facebook the largest social media platform in the world. If congress were to give Mark Zuckerberg the green light to go ahead with the launch of Libra platform, the cryptocurrency sector as we know it could rapidly change.
   All of the sudden the world over would be educated about cryptocurrency thanks to the Libra platform. Eventual those Libra users will trickle down into other crypto related projects and communities, so on and so forth. The market would naturally get a boost in growth. Bitcointalk would be flooded with new users like never before. Everyone will want in as the forum experiences a booming surge in traffic. If you thought people were complaining about bounty standards and low ball pay as of now, wait until there aren't any left to complain about  ::)

What I don't understand about how Facebook is proceeding with Libra:
Why don't they separate the currency Libra from the payment system Calibra, deploy Calibra into the Facebook apps and allow people to pay for all the things using other cryptocurrencies? This would dramatically foster adoption.

In a separate (and more complex step) they could create the Libra coin (which is what they're getting regulatory backlash for) and rule the world with their new monetary system or whatever...
I can see where you're heading and that's quite a good idea. But Facebook wouldn't accept that because there is no way that is going to benefit them, lol. Just look at Libra: it's going to be a coin that is owned and controlled by Facebook and lots of companies will be buying into it and that means Facebook will be making a profit from it.

I don't think any company will have time for something that is not beneficial to them unless they are doing it for charity. If they should deploy just Calibra into Facebook then it's basically a wallet and they will just be promoting other cryptocurrencies that are not theirs and they wouldn't be benefiting from it in any way.

I just ordered the Wirex card and hope to get it soon. The idea is to receive crypto (Bitcoin) by doing stuff that I would be doing anyway.

What other ways do you know to receive / earn Bitcoin for everyday stuff outside of the crypto world that could bring Bitcoin and other crypto directly to users for them to spend?
First, adoption will play a very great role in this as people who has been willing to use cryptocurrency before and scared because of these government that are not friendly with it will definitely loosened up and be encourage to free partake in activities that has to do with cryptocurrency like this one you chose to use.

You are probably able to do that because you live in a country that is really not bothered about the use of cryptocurrency by their merchants, but in my country, many of us that would have been accepting bitcoin as means of payment are very scared that the government could come for us as they are fully against the use of it for now. If there can be adoption of cryptocurrency, I am sure that there will be more merchants like you to do the same thing.

Best way for us to invite those non-crypto users, is to know make a survey what makes them interested, conducting seminars will be a good one, for example, having a seminar on how to earn part time thru cryptocurrency,this way we will catch up their attention and they will be interested in attending seminars.

We do have a lot of opportunity and it depends on the person how we wanted this to grab, but as a crypto user concern, we wanted the mass adoption, so we should help in a little way.
Its indeed a great idea and as far as I know, there are some seminars about cryptocurrency and blockchain in my country which is an amazing way to introduced bitcoin and give people some idea what is a digital currency and how does it work. I think it will work because I can see that bitcoin is getting adopted and accepted by a hospital and some stores and used it as a payment which means that the adoption is getting better. We can't force them and I agree that it's up to them if they are going to grab the chance to be enlighten about the possible benefits that they can get from it because cryptocurrency changed our life into a better one so I think they can also see it's capabilities and how it can be advantageous to them.

Honestly, I have never used Bitcoin or altcoin to do transactions directly related to the real world. Because in my country it is still taboo and not yet common, and in my opinion it is also more effective to use fiat, either directly or bank transfer. For me, cryptocurrency is more effectively used as a commodity trade and investment tool, so for payment I prefer fiat.

It is a reality that you cannot influence easily other people to use cryptocurrencies. At first my friends do not listen to what I said to them before but when I grow my capital in trading, they start to became interested to cryptocurrencies. Showing the proofs and evidences of your earnings can help you to influence other people to study and use cryptocurrencies. They will eager and encourage to learn if you will do that.

I can't bring bitcoin to be legal transaction because my country always think bad with bitcoin and not legal using bitcoin as currency digital payment, many people have been use bitcoin in my country for trading and investing, they have announce to public with bitcoin and make public discussion about advantage of bitcoin but still always reject by government to legal bitcoin transaction.

I see, this topic and questions fall into the scope of bitcoin market adoption. For me, if we want to cycle bitcoin for us to induce market adoption is to start and begin it with ourselves. Just make the most out of bitcoin and let people see some glimpse of the profit you have, in the human mind, they tend to believe what they see espeicially if they can see they can earn money from it. Make it slow, help them to engage in bitcoin by introducing it in ways it could help them in practical purposes such as buying prepaid load, paying bills and much more.

A reason why Bitcoin is still hard to use outside crypto world is because we still lack of adoption. Not everyone knew about it so it's so hard to find one that will accept Bitcoin in real world. In reality, fiat is still more convenient since it is being used by everyone. No struggle to look for others who will accept fiat because everyone does.

crypto adoption is indeed not much because it is done in stages and also sometimes hindered by regulations. so to this extent we may only be able to provide small amounts of knowledge, so that if crypto is widely adopted later they will understand it. at least we help to build crypto ecosystems

Through exchange or conversion we can bring bitcoin to non-crypto users. Definitely if you have obligations or bills to pay there are lots of sites and apps to do it. Exchange your btc to local fiat to pay to your friend who have no crypto currencies. Basically, its through money transfer from a conversion. You cannot give crypto to non-crypto users unless they want to have one.

Will add these on my ways to pay or in our receipt too. But the best option is to convince them by showing some proof for those who are close to us or some friends.

This is the best, because simply accepting bitcoin and making banners can help people raise awareness about bitcoin,

I think it is possible if you convert the bitcoin to other currency I thin non-crypto users don't trust bitcoin and don't have knowledge in bitcoin so I don't think they will going to understand we are going to send them bitcoin in a way, I think the best way is to convert it to a currency you could do it also in digital, in coins.ph you could easily convert your bitcoin in a currency that you could send in many ways like for example banks and other money transfer to send it to other users and even non-cryptousers.

Everyone should tell their near and dear ones about the benefits of crypto and bitcoins. if you say that you will give salaries in the form of bitcoins than that is too much early because most of the people do not know about the bitcoins.

This is not as easy as it might seem. Many people still don't have confidence in Bitcoin or think that is something that soon will be gone, some kind of trend that will disappear. To my experience a lot of efforts is needed to explain all benefits of Bitcoin and how it's functioning to someone that is not familiar with it.
That is why we need more formal education and information and Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies from sources that people trust and we also need to educate young people from the early age. It will take time before Bitcoin becomes something usual and fully accepted in the society.

I think there is  huge difference in cryptocurrency awareness lately, than it was previously. But unfortunately, some people chose not to pay attention.
It's not about telling people about cryptocurrency (most especially Bitcoin) , but making them to adopt it.
Most people know but they are reluctant to invest or own it because they believe it time has passed or it has failed because of price dump.
When the price pumps, watch how they will rush to invest. Humans wants short cut to everything.

To the best of my abilility I had been ensuring that I educate non-crypto users how to use and store their coins in a wallet yesterday I helped a colleague on setting up a blockchain wallet on his smartphone with the hope of buying some bitcoin for a start I believed  buying and hodling some coins  would encourage him to be able to learn how to transact and use bitcoin, by doing so he is going help to spread the good news about bitcoin to newcomers who might wnat to invest in it

Facebook can change many things. You might ask why. Now bitcoin owners want the price to go up. Then they turn their bitcoins into dollars. The need to turn it into dollars has to disappear. A new world may emerge after the Libra.

I think you must first look at your target Audience. Likely younger tech savvy crowd. Your efforts would b wasted at a nursing home.
Tweeting Cryptocurrency links might work.

Tweeting to countries  with unstable currencies could work. Look at Hong Kong and Iran, where people are burning banks to the ground. Some links may help people find the information they need to invest safely.

Nowadays, most have heard of bitcoin. Still many think it’s a scam and wouldn’t know how to get into it even if they wanted to.  One could sprinkle small leaflets at places like college campuses and nightlife hotspots where the young tech savvy reside.  Simply scan the code and the link would bring them to various crypto sites, where they could learn and invest safely.

When the price is down, new people don’t  want to buy in.   But they may be willing to learn -to mine crypto. Again This would likely be for younger tech savvy target audience.

There are so many crypto wallets from which you can also spend your crypto directly. There are also apps that are offering built in crypto wallets. They also give users the chance to convert or use their cryptocurrencies directly to pay bills and do shopping online. There are also several crypto cards that are tied up with payment companies which people use just like their other Visa and Mastercards.

Educating them is the best way to encourage other people to become interested to bitcoin. Actually, my classmates and my friends are now also using bitcoin in their daily lives because I taught them what it is and how to use it. I created a presentation to them about the functions of bitcoin in our economy and society. I also told them that having it is really worth it. They became interested to what I said so educating the others are really helpful to influence non crypto users.

I think not all people will be willing to be educated about crypto stuff, it's quite difficult topic demanding knowing many information and details. However nowadays, Bitcoin becomes more and more popular as a payment method, like in hotels, for food delivery or online shopping. So things, that all of us use and that might be a key when it comes to easier introduction someone to Bitcoin.

I just ordered the Wirex card and hope to get it soon. The idea is to receive crypto (Bitcoin) by doing stuff that I would be doing anyway.

What other ways do you know to receive / earn Bitcoin for everyday stuff outside of the crypto world that could bring Bitcoin and other crypto directly to users for them to spend?


In my case, the concept of Bitcoins was received by my friends using simple tutorial about its basics and after that their movement was based by their own knowledge on how this crypto currency behaves so as a new user I explore more and share all of my thoughts in non-crypto users to encourage them to try this new platform.

This was basically a domino effect. No one could learn crypto with just by their own, they need to ask somehow to someone and seek information to forum that could possibly enables them to learn various ways of utilizing cryptocurrency. In my case, the way I help other people and to help bitcoin gain market adoption is to incorporate some of my works and adding logo to it. In this case, the picture of bitcoin will enable other people who can see the project to be curious what that logo means, for times that they eventually saw bitcoin, they could remember it and will surely search information about it.

That's right we called it domino effect in which we are influenced by someone or some of our friends regarding to the bitcoin or cryptocurrency that your friend experience, and because of that you will br able amazed and eventually you will also follow the path or track that your friend is doing and by that if you will be able know everything about in this field you will share it again to your friends, relatives or any close people you have and that would be the domino effect of bringing ways to other people who are non crypto users, it is very hard to know something on the idea you don't have so there is always someone who will explain you the roots of the story and eventually you will be the one who know what is the body of it.

The best way to bring non crypto users to crypto is first tell negatives regarding crypto what are downsides what will happen
if, after you have given him / this, now its time to bring the goods
tell him / her the advantages, of crypto , what are the possibilities if you hold a lot of coins, what will happen in the future with crypto
why I use this approach? its because lots of people introduce the positive sides only and never warned them, doing this steps allow them to be prepared its not discouraging them but introducing them to the negatives to prepare them thats I think is the best way

by giving negative and positive impacts and giving input about using good crypto, new people who don't use crypto can be attracted. and if you have succeeded in attracting new people then you must be responsible for educating them so that they do not go wrong in investing or using crypto

I have a bitcoin banner at the front of my shop for who cares to learn about it, and if anyone wants to pay me with bitcoin, why not! I am doing best to make some of my customers see why they should start looking away from the fiat, but this will take time because of bitcoin's high volatility, but we shall eventually get to the promise land.

The idea that not many people think, that it is a very good idea to introduce bitcoin to everyone, might be very difficult for now, at least your idea of making banners for someone who wants to pay through bitcoin and of course everyone will be able to see it, and of course the person wants to find out the use of bitcoin ..

Adoption and advertisement are the principle keys on having more non crypto users (people) involved onto this cryptocurrency world.
Teaching them by offering some small sample on how to use it for something they mostly prefer and it's difficult to find will give meaning to them for introducing themselves into it.

If you think about something that for instance is at "dark web" like medicine which could fix some of your health problems for cheaper price it will make them wanting to use such technology ;)

I had managed to convince 2-3 colleagues of mine to invest in crypto projects in early 2018 but with drastic bear trend now most of the people are scared of investing into it. Truly speaking people all around are looking for growth in their investment by investing in crypto, nobody bothers to talk about its benefits over traditional payment methods.Current market situations are making it difficult to convince people about cryptocurrencies as there are many issues like legalization, high volatility, no centralize control etc. We need to talk about decentralize benefits, benefits of high volatility to make bring non crypto users to use cryptocurrencies.

We share the proofs but we cannot guarantee that they will earn as much as we earn.
Keep in mind that they are newcomers to crypto, it's best to point out the risks they may face here so that they are prepared to lose in case. Because eventually you will also blame them when they do not earn as much as we earn, who have long been in crypto and know the strategies to earn.

If they get some crypto for stuff they do anyway that's a much better way of introducing crypto / Bitcoin to average people.

and who is going to pay you for things you already do? and what is he benefit in it for them to pay you?!
what you are saying sounds more like one of those micropayment jobs you usually see advertised on the internet which are a complete waste of time and could even infect your computer if you follow their instructions including visiting random sites! they advertise it like "things you already do" then you see you have to do mundane tasks for long hours to make a cent!

One of the examples is Wirex, where you get a cashback for all your purchases with the credit / debit card in Bitcoin. There are other credit cards with cashback systems, but also a lot of credit cards without.

Another example is Lolli, a cashback system for online purchases that pays in Bitcoin.

Microtasks could be a thing, but there you have to explicitly do something you probably wouldn't otherwise do.

But in general the fact that I can't come up with more examples is the precise reason why I'm posting this question ;-)
I don't think it would really help a lot to get a non-crypto user if it is jusy a cashback,
I think the best is introduce it to them and tell them it's potential and or find a wallet that they could easily use for daily transaction if there is available in your location.
People don't need crypto if it is just for cashback because there are so many mobile application that offer it.

Freelancing is the best way of getting crypto by doing the stuff in your free time and getting some investment money.

I suggest that also a good way to bring crypto to more people is by starting to target people who most likely to engage in this kind of activities. For example, in a university, bringing knowledge to those who can relate to it like computer-related courses like IT. Providing them talks, or seminar that can encourage them to discover more about crypto. Another example is to target people who only stays at home who wants to work through online. That's one thing to spread Bitcoin and cryptocurrency to non-user easily. Start with people who may find it interesting.

Most of the engagement involving nowadays has contact to crypto. There are plenty of ways on how you can recieve or earn crypto. You can actually start by getting attached or involved here in the forum. Find the ways by going to beginners and help so that your questions may be answered. You can also try joining bounty campaigns here but make sure first that you have enough knowledge before getting involved on one. Be mindful always to scammers because the newbies are the most prone and vulnerable to them.

How exactly do you know if a certain person want to learn how to use the crypto? You might be wasting your time if you teach the wrong person. But to me if you want to ask me, i would rather ask them first if they want to learn or are they familiar with the bitcoin. It all depends on how they would react to me specially if i show them how i generate my income.

There are lots of ways you can spend your cryptocurrency, you can spend them through gift cards, that's if you want to use them to buy the stuff you need like on Amazon. There are also stores where you can buy what you want direct with Bitcoin as payment without switching to gift cards, like overstock.com.

If you want you can make use of debit cards as well, but I have not used the Wirex card you mentioned, I heard you will have to verify your identity to be able to make use of their services. Though that's not a problem for me, I already make use of BitPay and it works for me. Just like Wirex, Bitpay offers their users a Visa debit card that they can use to withdraw cash from the ATM, or pay for services online.

There is a mobile bitcoin wallet that only applicable in my country because of the feautures like buying load, buying points in games and paying bills. I demonstrated to them how the transaction occuring and they becone interested because they saw the potential of the bitcoin. I also show my earnings and it encouraged them to adopt bitcoin.

Showing people that you can use bitcoin for something useful to them is maybe on of the best ways to show how bitcoin works.
Using bitcoin for sports betting, poker or gambling in general can show people in a quick way how bitcoin is used for digital cash. When you withdraw from the sportsbook the bitcoin goes directly to your wallet, no bank needed. I think this is the most straight forward way to show and explain how bitcoin works, while learning the basics about addresses and blockchain explorers while in the process.

Yeah i think the media plays an important role in the growth of cryptocurrency, when it was 2017 almost every media talk about cryptocurrency and bitcoin that's why the price pumped because it hooked many investors from non-crypto users or even the investors who never heard bitcoin or crypto before.
If the medias want to those thing comeback i think they can make good news to pump the price but they don't do it, i'm sure there are whales strategies behind these crash, and we'll wait for the next pump.

but it is better to let bitcoin uses for other areas than pure gambling mate,yeah there are big market in gambling but it wasnt useful for long term.what can be consider is the use for Payments in important situation like Foods,services and medicine in which i think will provide good progress for long term effect and not just gambling that short time happiness .

For example, in a university, bringing knowledge to those who can relate to it like computer-related courses like IT. Providing them talks, or seminar that can encourage them to discover more about crypto. Another example is to target people who only stays at home who wants to work through online. That's one thing to spread Bitcoin and cryptocurrency to non-user easily. Start with people who may find it interesting.
Very good idea, I started teaching my classmates when I was in middle school, I teach them how to invest in a legit way, also I teach them what is cryptocurrency ,how can we earn bitcoin and whatsoever. Now they already have a plan to try investing in cryptocurrency together with me.
Good for them for listening and entrusting you to have their own journey towards cryptocurrency. It's the best time to work with their knowledge and take all the time learning the principles and  how to take advantages from this venue of investment. All they have to do is to continue learning and if possible to learn alongside with you while you are still active taking your own journey.

but it is better to let bitcoin uses for other areas than pure gambling mate,yeah there are big market in gambling but it wasnt useful for long term.what can be consider is the use for Payments in important situation like Foods,services and medicine in which i think will provide good progress for long term effect and not just gambling that short time happiness .
But for me this will not affect the operation of bitcoin, as long as people are still utilizing it for their own purpose, and decentralization is always met, then bitcoin can still be considered useful.

Though, with practical purpose that could replace the function of fiat, I think what we can get here is more, in which other people could be involved in a sense that they could be convinced to use bitcoin as well. Meaning to say that we aren't just using it, at the same time promoting cryptocurrency to be widely accepted by the people.

First it comes the hype, then people start to dig and learn about it. Educating should be the way.

Teechat lets you get crypto based on things you would already buy and you also get a discount sometimes. It depends very much on where you live though. Easyfeedtoken will reward you for leaving ratings and reviews like you do on google but you earn crypto for it. There are some file-sharing websites too.

its hard if you are living in some country that dont know bitcoin. and its depend on company policy, if they apply maybe your payment can be cryptocurrent. or the easy is, you get fiat than buy crypto on exchanger.
simple way to bring crypto to non user is about money. its the best way to pull them. no one refuse money, so tell them about it first and then you must tell about what is the main

It is just by letting them be aware of the freedom it over, no central control, payments are instant in most cases and letting them know that it is secure and transparent.

I think the best way to bring bitcoin to non-crypto users is to directly explain what cryptocurrency, bitcoin and altcoin are. We all explain the weaknesses and strengths and risks that we have to face. then if he gets interested, then we immediately teach about how to send, buy and sell cryptocurrency. unfortunately my country has not legalized bitcoin as a means of payment. so I haven't been able to use bitcion to shop.

I've recently had a debate conversation from my friend about bitcoin and cryptocurrency. We talked issues regarding how ready the country to adopt bitcoin and we come up to the topic regarding putting tax to cryptocurrency. I do think the government could still survive and regulate the country even if bitcoin will not be taxable. But later on it keeps me to think that what would probably happen if many people will adopt to crypo and might forget their fiats totally. Then I realize we don't need to impart knowledge regarding cryptocurrency to replace fiats but to use it hand in hand in transactions with that, government will still have money to regulate the country and we still have fiats to back cryptocurrency.

i believe that you have stable income the way you post here,so i think there is a capacity to purchase Bitcoin using fiat?not unless you are looking for free or airdrop bitcoin?i will tell you that only scamming is what you will get here.

or try to find some skills that you can offer here for you to gather more bitcoin without spending your money

It is just by letting them be aware of the freedom it over, no central control, payments are instant in most cases and letting them know that it is secure and transparent.
well security is not wiser in crypto because hackers and scammers are there always.but indeed freedom is what we love here most.

I just ordered the Wirex card and hope to get it soon. The idea is to receive crypto (Bitcoin) by doing stuff that I would be doing anyway.

What other ways do you know to receive / earn Bitcoin for everyday stuff outside of the crypto world that could bring Bitcoin and other crypto directly to users for them to spend?
In my case. I'm collecting physical crypto coin and display it in my room and some non-loaded token are on living room. I always post on my IG and facebook about my collection and some facts about crypto currency. Sometimes, my non-crypto got interested in to my collection and then I will discuss to them what is bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. Collection is a very cool entry point to preach some word to your friend.

I think this idea is good. A friend gave me a Bitcoin memorabilia as her Christmas gift last year so I guess it is time to have it displayed in my work station or something. I don't have much visitors at home but I think it is a good thing to remind you where your money went most of the time  ;D

therefore we must provide complete information if we have successfully invited new people. so when we can make someone interested in crypto, we must still teach them to have deeper knowledge. because of the people we have successfully brought, we must be responsible for their survival until they are able to stand on their own to walk in the crypto world

Bringing Bitcoin to real life and daily operations is a question of adoption first of all.. and volatitlyty of course. In fact it is two general aspects affecting on Bitcoin (or cryptocurrency at all if you want) usage for a daily operations.

Wider usage = wider loyalty by merchants. Wider loyalty by merchants = wider usage. There is no authoriry who will make a regulation and impose adoption of Bitcoin, so it will difinetely go step by step and slow at some points.

I believe to achieve this, we need to show them the unlimited benefits of bitcoin.
  With the evidence, they would want to enjoy the benefits too

this works to some but not still not enough to convince other people  . all the time i encourage my friend to try bitcoin because i said to them that bitcoin have some good benefits but too bad they seem to be not interested on what i propose  .

what did i lack ? i knew to my self that i explain them the right way but i guess they are the one's that lack of something . either they are lacking of budget to invest and try btc or they are lack of resources to run and recieve btc
