Bitcoin Forum

Let's be honest here, Covid-19 has brought about a lot of changes which includes quarantine. And there's one thing I'm sure of; one of the people to make gain in this season are our service providers. I mean, everyone stays at home and there's probably an 80% probability that they would spend more time on the internet. Now, let's also think of this; don't you think that this is a good time to promote btc (online)? Imagine, most people presently are off their work desk and are surfing the net. I really think that this is a good time to promote btc online. If people hear more about it, it'll keep brightening the future of btc.
I have two questions for you. What have always hindered you from reaching out to people (online) and 2, would you agree with me and support the promotion of bitcoin in this season??

1. It's not like many people weren't online before, they were probably surfing the Internet from their offices and are now doing the same from home.
2. I am not sure about Bitcoin promotion right now, to be honest, because you're kind of bound to say at some point "Bitcoin is worth $6200 now but it was worth $6600 yesterday, and 3 weeks ago the price was $9k". Some might see a trading opportunity here, but for the majority volatility probably would not be what they want right now. The world is full of instability, so adopting something even more volatile than most things would not sound appealing.

I think that it's always good to promote Bitcoin.

However, I see a few problems in your logic.
1. People would buy Bitcoin mostly as investment or safety deposit, right? Well, since this virus madness has started people mostly withdrew money, didn't invest; and I don't expect this change much in the near future.
2. People are attracted to buy/invest into something when its price is rising. Of course, it's stupid since they may just buy into a new high and actually lose, but that's what people do. Now Bitcoin price is not looking good (on short term) so it may not be appealing to the masses.

All in all, if one manages to put in an ad that buying at such low price is a great deal (#BTFD, remember?) and also explain about the approaching halving too, it can worth a try. Else...


Then, unless one owns a business related to Bitcoin (exchange or whatever), he may not be interested to get money from his pocket to advertise/promote Bitcoin...

Now is a good time to buy lots of bitcoin however businesses that already accepted bitcoin might be in apocalypse right now. Imagine they have been accepting crypto since after the bull run in 2017 when the price is still at the sky and look at it right now they can't even spend a little of their profits because the lost will be doubled. The price looks so pretty to me although it is red, it is very good for today's buying price for a fact that there will be an occurring halving in the next few weeks.

On promoting bitcoin, you don't need to tell people that because the price is high and speculated to become higher the next time. What you should do is tell people how to efficiently utilize the internet trading with the use of bitcoin itself.

Now is a good time to invest in btc!
Yes, like all past times. Investing in bitcoin was and still the best decision in/without the period of crisis.

Now is a good time to promote btc!
That's a vague concept of how to promote it in a period of fear. Being in quarantine doesn't mean people will suddenly become genius looking to forget about physical, bank cards already used to avoid the direct contacts.

I think the reason that I haven't gotten to promoting Bitcoin well enough is that they are not interested in the first place. People know that I support Bitcoin, but they never asked how I do it or how I possibly earn it. They are just like meh.

The second reason is I don't need to. It's already out there, and people just need to read more information and do something about it. If they are not doing it themselves, then it's their loss.

I agree that most us are under lockdown or self quarantine but, that does not mean we are interested in investing now. People are dying everyday in thousands. They are more concerned in saving their lives and the loved ones. They will be more interested in saving their Fiat for using it in desperate situation. Considering the situation we are in now it can be easily called as desperate situation to survive. If we promote Bitcoin now it will give a negative image to it than positive.

Well the increase in people on the internet is immense, the way of searching for work on the net will also increase, and obviously Bitcoin searches have also increased, it is logical, people search and investigate, it is a good time for investment, It is known that under any fundamental, there are good opportunities to buy cheap. In these times of increase in services, especially the internet, its traffic is profitable for the market and bitcoin, the market may be recovering due to a small percentage of it.

yes it good time to invest when everyone fear to invest if you have some money.

but right now everyone is not interested to invest in bitcoin they hold cash for use in daily.


bitcoin can solve covid-19 some problem - use digital money,fast transfer money to help other people,donate to help hospital

can create project like ICO but i not see anyone do it or talk about bitcoin.


everyone self quarantine and watch netflix.

This is exactly what I'm talking about! People will spend more time on the internet and they will look for jobs which they can do to earn money from their various houses. Considering this, I really believe that this is a really good time to let people know. Once they see how they can earn (bounty or investment) they'll want to try it since they have more time now at home. I don't know who's getting my point clearly.

I'm done promoting it on my own.

It is not that I'm against on it or I don't want to do it but you will never know what's in the mind of the people these days. As long as you'll explain to them the essentials of bitcoin and what actually it is, they will never get wrong understanding it.

People are searching for additional income and could make it possible to find Bitcoin online. But I'm not really confident if they would like to take it knowing that we are still in the struggles and the risk inside. But if we are looking for an online investment where we can possibly double our money or more, it perfectly Bitcoin/crypto investment can provide but of course, we have to think also that it can't be an instant return, it needs time for it as well.

Bitcoin doesn't need any promotion..Remember what happened in 2017? That massive bull run to the moon? There was no promotion back then, there were no marketing strategies planned to attract the average joe or anything like that, but there was a lot of word-of-mouth and social media + important news outlets talking about btc because they wanted to capitalize on what was the it thing to the general public and the financial world.

You mean they'll help pump the price to new ath's  ;)

I'm sure majority of members here in the community have been promoting btc in their own way even prior to the corona virus outbreak, some successful, others haven't convinced any. Of course, I agree with you, but we can promote btc anytime we want. I know that you have been promoting btc in your country, so keep it up!.

You are right this is one of the best time to promote Bitcoin, the world is on lockdown and a lot of people spend time online which means that promoting Bitcoin now will get it seen by even more people.

The only thing hindering me is that i don't spend time on social medias (except WhatsApp) which i can use in promoting Bitcoin online.

After all, more people are at home if possible work from home, move office work at home and connect with partners online. So they stay focused on work.
At any time, you can promote or provide education regarding BTC through social media, not having to wait for a situation like this. I think people will prefer alternatives to getting money in more effective ways that they have understood before. moreover, we know that BTC and the crypto world are quite complicated for ordinary people and need time to learn and adapt to it, right?

You have good thought but i don't think btc need any promote or advertising like your talking about. Cause btc is not a some shit ico/ieo project that need to promote cause it's already popular and part of financial world. And for the current situation i would love to say, promote those kinda thing which will aware people about COVID-19. Hole world is suffering and it'll be great if you try to make something about that.

In certain instant we can say that since unlike those shitcoins around they need to be notice by the people who used crypto but in the case of bitcoins it still need some marketing or any other things made it visible to the non user since if we can get the attention of those people then might we can get the new adoption which could lead a better place to all the user. And also I don't think those what so called promotion will work right now since people are worried for their health and welfare so i think this thing will not succeed in this situation.

I think like you, now while all the people are in their houses a lot of them will try to find a way to make money online and bitcoin is that opportunity they are searching for.

With people in their houses and halving one side of the corner, this should be a good moment to buy, we can feel the bump soon.

Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are already popular in the financial world. We even see market analysts including Bitcoin's prediction in their market graphs. Bitcoin introduction can be started for those who are in middle class especially for those whose jobs have been halted due to lockdown. If at least they can have an idea and do the education themselves, we can gather more people as well as support to prove that Bitcoin is not a scam but rather one of the helpful ways to earn and protect assets, as well as be more open to the government for acceptance.

I mean, aren't some people promoting Bitcoin online already regardless if we have the virus or not? Take a look at Twitter and Reddit. We can only do so much with promoting Bitcoin, as a lot of people are simply uninterested.

They have been hearing about bitcoin already. I mean those who are already surfing the internet before. But, the thing is they aren't aware what is it for and how it can be use. But then I somehow agree, this home quarantine will become an eye opener for those people who wanted to earn online since this crisis may be the reason for them to seek online services and online earnings.

There are a lot of promotions, ads about bitcoin and other cryptocurrency. I believe they are already seeing those but not yet that interested as well. If you can start off with your own relatives, promote it to them. It can be a help for adoption as well.

No matter how long people stay at home, remember that there are people who still will not have access to electricity supply l, talkless of the Internet. Countries in Africa and poor Asia still have challenges of electricity and other infrastructure problems. These ones are excluded from the gains of staying at home.

Your thoughts are negative for bitcoin as what you've stated bitcoin's volatility. People know that bitcoin is very volatile that's why it requires proper manipulation and prediction. Bitcoin really makes a lot of profit when it is in its peak through a certain time so that you need a proper timing for it. Don't say that people will not like how bitcoin works because many people are interested when we talk about money. Let's keep on supporting and promote the bitcoin to online because this is the right and perfect opportunity for us to help mass adoption. We will all benefit from this and just be optimistic always, not only in this crisis, but also in the globalization of cryptocurrency. Never underestimate the ability of crypto in online transaction and as a store of value, in this circumstances, bitcoin is useful as a digital currency as goods and payments are now in online transactions.

They are spending more time watching their Instagram/Facebook feeds or watching some Youtube videos.
If you really want to promote something,you have to get their attention.Internet marketing,and promotion in general,are the battle for getting people's attention.If you don't have a plan how to get their attention,your promotion won't work.Just saying "Hey,let's spam my social media followers with some boring info about Bitcoin and blockchain technology!" simply won't work.
People are usually interested by the same old BS-movies,TV shows,news(only about the coronavirus currently),games,gossips,even porn...
How can you pull their interest out of those BS topics into Bitcoin?

I tend to agree with this that this is the right time to promote Bitcoin online and might be the eye-opener to someone who will see the ads. More people now at home surfing most likely on social media like Facebook, YouTube, and TikTok. A short video clip that appears on these social media will really a great help to promote Bitcoin. At least as of now for awareness and might in the future, they will invest once the global economic crisis will be gone.

But when you say they will invest, I don't think so. Most people now badly need money due to this pandemic lockdown and I think they are starting surfing on the internet to find an alternative way to earn money.( Not just spending their money )

As at the moment, the entire world have been quarantine and everyone out there is or are bored due to this stay at home. This has been the very best time to seat up in order to study the meaning and details of this technology called Bitcoin alongside the Blockchain technology. This will be helpful in the expansion of knowledge, right now, am engaging myself with the study of this technology and want to develop more skills on this technology. Also, I will promote the technology to my friends out there and to bring it awareness to the neighborhood.

Regarding this, I am from Africa. I do know that we face challenges of electricity here but, there's an invention that can solve that. You can simply buy a power bank which will help you. My phone rarely goes off cause I have a power bank that is durable. Besides, the average African who faces this issue logs in at least 3-4 days in a week. So, our challenge is them knowing about bitcoin.

Well said mate, internet has been overused as of now because most of the people are at their home because of being afraid of getting the virus, so one of common things that people may do is to surf the web, spend time in the internet. So basically this is really good at promoting the bitcoin in the internet, especially the social media, like facebook because there are so many facebook user all over the world and the information posted on facebook are very spreadable.

Here are my answers to your questions:
1. My hindrance on interacting to people online is only being shy, I am not that approachable person so I considered this as one of my hindrance.
2. Yes, definitely, one of the great medium of promoting the benefits of using bitcoin is the internet(social media).

To be honest, it's really not time to promote Bitcoin online. Almost 90% people are confined in home in my country even this situation exists all over the world. Food for the confined people is now big challenges and also treatment of the corona affected people big challenges around the world. Hence crypto is not prime fact. The law enforcing agencies are more active than past. So it is time to come forward for the corona affected people and the confined people in home.

It's never a bad time for promotion, and I can agree that at this point, a large part of the human population (at least those who think rationally) are protecting their own and the health of others by isolating themselves in homes/apartments. Given that the internet is one of the main forms of entertainment, some people are likely to discover BTC and start exploring.

However, given the current situation, the main interests currently lie in maintaining health, securing food and medicines, and procuring safety equipment (masks and protective gloves). I'm not sure is this moment a good time for introducing people with BTC, but it certainly depends on the situation of an individual or society. I am sure that all those who are infected and the families of the deceased currently have many more important concerns.

Bitcoin enthusiasts will promote bitcoin forever no matter what is the economical condition. 8)

Probably this is the good time but what are the ways to promote it, simply saying people won't work so contribute in the most effective ways like paying bitcoins on shopping sites and let others know and show the price chart of cryptos compared to stocks market and much more.

Today the market price of the bitcoin is rapidly increasing from the 6.8k dollars from the previous weeks it is now already 6.1k dollars and becomes stable and this is one of the good opportunity to make investment and get a lot of income and profit so there is a chance to get a more possible huge amount of profit for the next coming month also the halving is coming and there is a chance that the price of the coins are going back to normal or even getting more profit still if you have an extra saving this is the chance for investment but if you don't have for now just take care for a while and don't get too much greedy because the market is still volatile.

It isn't compulsory for them to invest. I do know that the world today really needs money for quarantine and treating the infected ones. But then, they could earn through some campaigns on this platform and sooner or later, they'll be strong enough for investments. Think of it, what sense does it make for the average Tom to stay at home in the name of quarantine and do nothing? Everyone really needs money right now and if they are told of the campaigns on here, that could be used as a bait to get them into the real deal. 🤷🏽‍♂

For those who have the interest of promoting bitcoin but don't know how, here are some helpful post I made in the past:

Kindly endeavour to read through some comments on the threads as they are also informative.

Have you ever had someone come to you telling you that they will invest if you promise them a set amount of ROI every random period of time? For some reason the majority of people that come to me come asking about something random they read online and ask me if I can beat whatever offer they found...

Fucking nonsense. Another person who thinks staying at home is somehow related to people wanting to buy and hold digital currency.. Look at the horrible news that came out today. Italy needs 100 Billion Euros just to save a complete collapse and exit from the EU.  This is just another propaganda post telling sheep to hold your shitcoins for what's about to come next week.

In my opinion, it's better to focus on an amount you aim to accumulate and buy a small amount every month rather than trying to time an entry. I've seen a lot of friends just stall on their decision because they are trying to time an entry only to find the price move up shortly after. A few percentages here and there doesn't matter in the long term.

Yes this is good time to educate people about about bitcoin and other necessary programs bout bitcoin. An hour from now, I will be having a class with some newbies about cryptocurrency investment, how they could turn their time to making good long term investment and learning something that will have a lifetime impact.

Most people are fond of reading to reply rather than reading to understand. I never asked anyone to hold (tho its a cool idea right now). If you read my post properly, you'd understand the point I was trying to make. This post is simply about creating awareness (let me tell you cause your likely not going to re-read).

That's wonderful!!
Tell them anything but don't tell them that
1. They'll make a heavy amount of cash
2. They'll get their profit in a specific number of days, weeks, months.

Don't forget to warn them regarding the volatile nature of BTCitcoin and other cryptocurrencies
Don't also forget to tell them that investment (especially the long term) requires a lot of patience.
Stay safe too

Who know when is good time , just few people know when is the right time to buy. I think we are in bullish and next years when covid19 will be be over it will also be a good time to buy crypto.

I don't really sure that people aren't hearing this one since in the past year because it probably they are but somehow they never appreciate this thing or they just ignore this one for the reason that they'll never understand it. I hope they would realize it by now and might capture their attention since online transactions meant a lot this time because of the global situation. It gonna be the best time to tell people and encourage them but not the like that we are pushing them to use either. Giving them knowledge about crypto may enlighten their minds and could possibly bring them a reason to get in and gives support to the crypto world.

It is true, in the current conditions, self-quarantine and work from home allow more people to get involved in the internet. In addition to doing work and getting entertainment, it is also possible for BTC to be seen by more people as an alternative to earning money. I also know this can be a good time for promotion, but looking at it from the other side, there are things that are more priority, namely maintaining basic needs, health, and welfare during this crisis, isn't it more important? There are also many people out there who need help, moral support and also financial. Everyone's condition is different. Let's do this wisely.

They have more time now to understand what's going on in crypto. If they are beginners, this is really tough to understand, they have so many questions just like when you were a beginner in crypto. It takes time to grasp even how to transact using crypto. But maybe, people will be more patient understanding and learning how to deal with crypto now that they have a lot of time. From a lot of people inquiring how to deal with crypto, only few of them will really make an actual move.

Currently, I do promotion for blockchain-based startups in social media.
But for BTCitcoin exclusively I have ideas to make infographics that explain how it works and how to use it.
Also, I can explain the products (wallets, platforms, etc.) that I use to manage Bitcoin and my other digital assets so that those newbies to crypto can learn how to use them safely and efficiently.

Well, there are a lot of people that knows when to buy. The fact that the price recovered from $4K to $6K in just days is the reason why we can say that people actually know when to buy. And as long as the price is still continuing to decline, you might consider reinvesting again. What people don't know is when to sell their bitcoins since there will be a lot of speculation about it and usually we based it on indicators.

Now almost all countries lockdown, which means that most of everyone's activities are in the house. And certainly if you are
at home people will choose to move online in the internet world. I see this as an opportunity to promote bitcoin, hopefully
more and more people are familiar with bitcoin and eventually more people can invest in bitcoin. This will make the price of
bitcoin go up, and I also as a supporter of bitcoin will try to help promote bitcoin now.

Due of covid19 outbreak all over the globe,most places are under quarantine.I think this is the right time to brought awareness of cryptocurrencies to many people.Most of people stsying home doing nothing and get boring.Why dont take this chance to lecture and provide them information about crypto.

For me, Indeed, it is the right time to promote bitcoin because everyone in their homes because of the community quarantine. And if someone in one’s home are have a deep knowledge about bitcoin it is the time also to teach them how to use it. Because many people now are using crypto currency instead of fiat currency, because fiat currency is also a cause of spreading coronavirus by just indulgence of money like in store. Unlike crypto currency is a digital money that can only pay through store that using digital money.

It is a good idea but I don't think that it will change their mindset about bitcoin,
We all know that even without this lockdown, people are still surfing the net, they know about it and as far as I know, bitcoin news is reaching them. It is just that, they don't have any confidence to put their trust in bitcoin.

Its Hard to promote bitcoin now because it is also dumping and its hard to go outside because of the risk of the virus. The only opportunity I see right now is a cheap cryptocurrency, this is a best time to accumulate and hold the good coins. We might see another dump this quarter so be ready for that and don’t lose the chance.

many people are concerned about their health, many people are afraid of dying and losing people they love, many people are lose jobs. do you think people are worried about buying bitcoin or making investments at a time like this? a question that you have to ask yourself: are you going to buy bitcoin today when you don't know if you are going to survive this pandemic?


many people are using Fiat right now, maybe in a few years it will be possible that more than 70% of countries in the world use bitcoin as a means of payment, but for now people are using FIAT

I don't feel hindered to promote anything I want on the internet because if I think that is good for me, it might be good for other people too. That is what I did offline too, and so far, I am still trying to promote cryptocurrency, not just bitcoin to other people, but yes, I will looks who is the person.

I agree to support the promotion of bitcoin during this pandemic because we can reach more people on the internet so they will know about bitcoin. Perhaps, after they know, they will have the interest to buy bitcoin and hold it or trade it to make money because many people or almost all of them stay at their home. Working from the internet can be another option for them to make money so they can use their time to search for a new source of income.

Holding is the best strategy now, as we can see markets are crashing because of the virus so a lot of people might consider investing in bitcoin and other cryptocurrency. Holding and buying is the best strategy for now, it's price is good ad I think it will not drop, there's a higher chance that it might pump on the following months. Let's just wait and see what's going to happen. Just HODL!!!

Exactly! People are losing their jobs already. And if they are told of a way to make money from home, they'll be eager to know more. Trust me, I know what I'm saying. It isn't compulsory to tell them to invest in bitcoin. Like me, I don't really tell people to invest in bitcoin, rather I tell them about bounty hunting which will help them earn and also help them realize HOW BITCOIN WORKS.

BTC is almost 40% down from the previous price which was before few weeks, holding is the best option right now because of its volatility. Also the situation is worsen after COVID-19, however we can promote Bitcoin with the help of social media and I think this is the best time to that. Because majority of the people are struggling from lockdown so they will get to know about Bitcoin. This will surely gain popularity across the globe.

I strongly agree with this. While promoting Bitcoin we should never mention its investment attractiveness, even if we think it's huge. Let people figure out that by themselves. Rather, we should concentrate on the fact that BTC is the money of the future, and that the sooner one learns how it works, the better for them.

This time would be indeed a strategical move to encourage and teach people about Bitcoin however, many people are still in solicitude about their safety and how would they sustain their lives while being refrained to go outside their homes and work. Although, there some that have seen and acknowledge the potential of Bitcoin at this moment there are also people who are discourage primarily because of its falling price, inaccessible internet connection, lack of technological tool and foremost, they do not give an optimum amount of interest nor prioritization about Bitcoin. But as for me, I try to be informative as much as possible and encourage them to look on the brighter side and how Bitcoin could be of great aid during this point in our lives especially that people are losing their usual routine and chance to work.

I don't think people are caring about bitcoin than the Covid-19! In this world, most people use the Internet, not because of the Quarantine time, rather every day in their life! Covid19 did not bring a bunch of new internet users! So, it's not that what you are thinking, mate! Therefore I don't think people will promote about Bitcoin money, who are did before, they will do now! That's it, it's not a great time to promote bitcoin widely, rather this is the time when we should spread awareness about Covid-19 so that people stay home and fight the Coronavirus!

Absolutely, at this point in time  while many people are working from home. It is obvious  they would make use of the internet in most of  their daily activities. In so doing, we can easily engage friends and family members on the use of cryptocurrencies especially bitcoin  and how beneficial to join blockchain based projects.

You are right, basically, the internet is widely used every day, its intensity increases when most people do work from home which requires that they are connected more often with the internet for communication. As with investment, I think some people will focus more on how to survive in this critical situation, share with others, and spread goodness. It's okay to spread education and information related to BTC as an alternative to getting additional income, but we know that the crypto world is not something that can be learned instantly, it takes time, right?

Nice time to be self quarantine, basically I have done some good thing since the "stay at home policies of the government" this policy have actually started yielding good fruits to my liken as I have already recorded one soul into the world of Bitcoin. Today I took my in-law into the word of cryptocurrency and he was amazed about the technology and said he never heard about the technology so far. If this can be done as the stay at home continues, many souls will be won and many potential investors and gamblers will be added to the community.

Although, my lectures where basically on getting to know the technology (Bitcoin and the Blockchain) and not how he can make some decent or quick money from the technology. This should be the preaching so that they can discover the ways of making money from the technology themselves.

bitcoin is an asset, and now people are confused about making money, and I don't think it's the time to promote BTC because many people who think they have to invest their money in a number of BTC and that's the weak point. unless we can give direction to them to trade and start mining to look for profit from BTC

nice to hear that people do something productive during the quarantine times   . upon reading your statement i thought that you started planting but reading further i see that your talking about fruits the other way lol ;)    . i get it . you succesfuly invited someone to join on here   .

people are at home and seem to be boring so they dont have a choice but to try other stuffs   .  this is the perfect way and we can use this moment to gather people on the crypto space   .

Watching video and reading blogs and reviews about cryptocurrency will definitely give them an idea what they need to know before engaging into investing.
All you need to do is give a brief idea on what to expect in crypto space and what opportunity would await if they want to earn good profit. If they turn out to be interested (which depends on how well you deliver the message about cryptocurrency) then they will definitely find and research how to invest.

Yes, but no, but...... There are many videos and articles about bitcoin out there. If they get their fingers on the wrong one, they are likely going to misunderstand bitcoin. Therefore, it is also in put duty to suggest videos and articles for people whonare interested. I still remember doing this to someone who was a complete newbie.

Bitcoin doesn't need to be promoted or advertised like most of the shitcoins. Those who would love to use a decentralized currency will find their way to the truth, just like you did  ;)
Besides most people are currently starting to feel the financial crisis due to the lock downs in most countries and i don't think most of them will welcome the idea of starting to buy more Bitcoins and holding at the moment.

Try to look at the market trend by now, it seems to be good and I don't there is a worry that gives us doubts and not to trust either.
We've been in the struggles until now and many people are still looking for other sources of income while staying at home. This Bitcoin investment could be suited for them. The price is still low and possible that we are able to see a huge increase once this pandemic will over. And we have to think also how halving could give a chance and hope this could clearly giving us an option to hold rather than to sell.

1.   Many people nowadays are using the internet to communicate with their love ones everywhere in the world. I think people are get hindered to communicate online when they get busy on their schools, or offices. But internet is the most need of many persons because there so much information that can find using internet and by communicating online.

2.   Yes, I will agred with you to support the promotion of bitcoin, because many people now are getting bored with their homes because of the community quarantine. I will promote them about bitcoin for not being bored in home, I use this moment to know them on what bitcoin is, what is the used of bitcoin in our daily lifestyle.

Uuhm, you're kind of right but this wouldn't be what people are looking for right now. There are lots of people who have lost their jobs and this is a difficult time. Imagine that someone invests in an asset as volatile as bitcoin, do you think that's a good idea? Yes it might be good for you, but it wouldn't be for others, unless someone that has enough money and they are ready to make an investment even at this time.

The truth is that most people wouldn't find it a good idea at this time. I also noticed that most newbies that join this community and invest in cryptocurrency do it because they are looking for a means of income and when they invest instead of the price to be going up it will be going down, these people start to complain, I see lots of their complaints here in this forum.

Hey man, What kind of promotion you are thinking?

I understand you clearly but you're thinking a little bit different.... Not bad tho ☺
They can invest their time in some projects on this platform rather than investing it in panic and fear and sadness.... 🤷🏽‍♂

in Past?it was their negative response from all of my effort,imagine that all i want is for them to benefits from crypto like what i am doing yet denial is what i received and some are bad comments that really made me feel bad.

Totally agreed on you here mate,and yeah after those bad reaction i get from the past?yet i am still concern about them and wanted to Join me in crypto journey  and let them thank me later after they found out that all i want is good things for them.

How to know right now is good time for investing with bitcoin, I always check last week bitcoin never break to higher price just keep going down always, where is strong reason have to buy and invest with bitcoin during price not stable on the top and bitcoin still get bad news with corona virus in many countries.

Now is a good time to defeat the damn coronavirus, and this should now be the main goal, to protect yourself, your loved ones and other people who surround you. And then, it will be possible to promote Bitcoin. First the crown, then Bitcoin, and nothing else.

Well, it might be of a good time but not to say it was a perfect time to invest crypto and encourage people to come in crypto and take the risk.
We are speculating the market price to either goes high or going deep, it is still unpredictable and so we can't tell anyone that we are sure that we have a huge market pump tomorrow, next week or next month. We have lived the market for many years and of its 10 years if existence, we can't hear that someone is perfectly predicting the market movement.

During this pandemic, I think it is a good time to advertise or promote Bitcoin to people because most of the governments in different countries imposed lockdown or quaratine which means that people at home have much time to listen. Most of the people now are surfing or using internet to keep the boredom away or they use it to find where they can get additional income or how to earn money online. Bitcoin is the way, if the person is willing they will listen to you and we all know when it comes to income everyone is head's up to this kind of thing so begin with it from the basics, benefits, merits, how to earn and of course don't forget to tell also the volatility of it and the risks because if they are really into it, they will accept the unpredictable state of bitcoin. So if you want to promote it do it, anytime and anywhere it is a great idea though.

I disagree. And to prove my point I suggest you to pick one thing that you think is great, be it a car, a phone, a drink, anything, and then google whether it is advertised or not. I bet any product you love is advertised one way or another. However good a thing is, additional publicity never hurts.


It depends on their income. Some people are used to going to fancy restaurants each day, and now, sitting on quarantine, they have lots of spare cash.

I think this is not a good time because people are in fear of their life. Daily thousands of people are going die so that how you could think that this is good time to spread BTC? Yes people may spending their time in internet but they are always watching news about death and attack of COVID-19. As it uses blockchain, i think people will automatically know about crypto currency when they will work for blockchain.

When you're confused because you can no longer make money from Bitcoin then you have a bigger problem and the only  solution to this is simply quitting the world of cryptocurrency and Bitcoin. I heard an old friend who never believed on the power of this technology but rather happily left this forum and later came back some few years back. We should never forget that, Bitcoin as today doesn't hive profits to weak humans who don't care about the technology but for those who have skills in it. Learning will enable you get more from Bitcoin, things have changed.

I think I get the part that it is a good time because someone has so much time during the lockdown. It includes me, this lockdown gave me additional hours in this forum. However, they are also correct that some are busy or worried and doesn't have the time to invest or learn anything about Bitcoin. Maybe because not all of us are comfortable in this pandemic, they may be doing something much more important.

Yes, some people will have the time to listen to you promote about bitcoin, but not all will be interested. And it's okay. We have to understand that we are in a difficult time.

it really depends on the current condition of the individual. if he has other things to attend to like how to supplement his family's daily food, or meds, or how to stay not to be infected, i guess it would be very hard for him to concentrate on looking at bitcoin or crypto. maybe for others that are self-sufficient and don't have to worry their basic necessities, they would appreciate to learn other options on how to earn money or how to use crypto as payment method so as to minimize the fiat money contact. you have to be more understandable on how you approach a friend, or a colleague. check his status first.

I think everyone who have access to internet already know what bitcoin is. People talk about bitcoin and cryptocurrency everyday as an investment option and i think the hype is well saturated around the globe. Promotion isn't the problem of cryptocurrency, price fluctuation is. The outside world sees the entire cryptocurrency market as an investment option where people take off profits from the up and down of it's market structure.

However, what we need to promote is the potentials of the blockchain as a technology to provide tampered proof private network for virtually every sector so that people will know there is more to it than just cryptocurrency and when the blockchain technology got adopted, cryptocurrency will follow suit

This is the point that if there is an advertisement for bitcoin, people who are not interested in trading cryptocurrencies will not pay attention to it. At the same time, those who want to buy bitcoins without any advertising will find all the information he needs. And in the current state of affairs, few people will be interested in this, because the main attention is focused on COVID-19.

What prevents me is my fear that they will not listened and say I'm scammers, Many times this has happened to me so I don't teach or try to promote bitcoin again because I know very few will listen. And many scammers also use the name of bitcoin here in our country to victimize other newbies in bitcoin so that the blame always in bitcoin.
I agree to you but to promote bitcoin i think this is very hard to do.

For now I do not see how promoting bitcoin online is going to somehow bring more people to this market, people are being very careful with their money now and are only using it for stuff they need and are reducing the luxuries they buy to the minimum, even if I believe in bitcoin it is difficult for people to accept an asset that can lose and gain value in such a fast fashion, also many of those that have the means to invest in bitcoin have lost money on the stock market and most likely do not want to take the risk with something like bitcoin at the moment.

That is the difficulty that I also face, the stigma of the community and my closest friends about bitcoin is already bad. So I stopped inviting and focusing on my personal goals. A few years later, when I managed to realize some of my dreams, working independently, some friends started coming and wanted to learn about cryptocurrency. Well, from here I learned, one effective way to provide education is to show the results we get, so people will realize that cryptocurrency does not only contain fraud.

Well, regarding the provision of education and information about bitcoin in the middle of this pandemic, I think it is effective but not a priority. Most people will focus on the latest information updates about the development of this pandemic, focusing more on how to survive during the crisis in the most effective way, while we know that the crypto world is quite complicated.

Now it is a very bad time for the whole world, many people are already dead for the covid-19 virus that number is close to about 37 thousand. Many people are infected with covid-19. Till now we do not know any antidote to prevent this virus. It is very hazardous moment for us, most of we are trying to liquid our crypto to buy our daily necessities because we are locked down for a long time and totally jobless, I don't know how promoting btc is actually work at this crucial moment when our lives are in danger.

So, following your logic, those who want to drink Coca-Cola will find a way to buy it. Then why does Coca-Cola spend around $4 billion each year on advertising? Surely these guys are not so stupid to just throw such big money away. Rather, they know full well that there are many other things on people's minds than buying the sweet drink, such as COVID-19, you've mentioned, and many, many others. And if you ask me, I don't think we can be smarter than Coca-Cola management in this regard.

Today one of the good things to do is to promote the use of the bitcoin because today, while there is a virus rapidly spreading all over the world the use of fiat currency as a payment to buy a lot of things we need, is not recommended because the virus can be attached on the paper money still the bitcoin and online transaction is the best for payment because it is more secured and faster than the traditional way of payment also we can follow the social distancing rule and we can now avoid the spreading of the virus. Also, it is good to promote the use of the bitcoin while the market price of the coin is low and we can make a lot of profit on it right now.

Yes, this maybe the good and perfect time to promote bitcoin or cryptocurrency because just like what you have been said almost a of the people are in their oen house stayong because of the lockdown quarantine so there is a huge chance that the people are spending a lot of time to the internet world so it would be more productive if we will use this to promote bitcoin and cryptocurrency online.

If we want to promote bitcoin using the internet, you can try to use social media because I see that social media have so many people who can get information about bitcoin. You can create a page telling about the bitcoin, or you can invite your friends to read your story so they might have an interest in bitcoin. This time will be a good time for people to learn about bitcoin because many people stay at their homes, and many of them use the internet to communicate with their time, and mostly, they still connected with social media. So if you can get in touch with them, that will help bitcoin to be spread among them, and you can invite more people to learn about bitcoin.

Chances are that anyone in this century who uses the Internet at least twice a week must've heard about Bitcoin. The greater work should be done offline to sensitise people about Bitcoin. I first heard about it on the radio a few years ago. It wasn't online. So, if I had being online at that time I would've heard about it long before I finally did in 2017.

Now, it looks very promising that more people will get to learn about Bitcoin with this compulsory stay at home (and access to the Internet) occasioned by Coronavirus pandemic. However, whether people will invest into it at a time like this that we are all struggling to stay alive remains another speculation. I think people will want to be alive first. Only the living make investments.

A few weeks this I always thought that the present condition is indeed a good time to promote BTC. Almost all countries are now wary of the spread of the COVID-19 virus. They do anticipate by providing clues that every citizen works at home. There are even some areas that have done Lockdown.

First that I have introduced Crypto to my friend. They previously worked in the office and now they have to work at home. And they use a lot of internet media when at home. There are some of my friends who are interested in trading. And they immediately make a deposit and try to trade.

Second is my difficulty when promoting Bitcoin. Some of my friends don't believe in the advantages of Bitcoin trading. They already knew that the Bitcoin movement was very fast. And if this disadvantage is certainly very large and trade is not friendly to beginners.

But I always add an optimistic sense towards those who are already trying to trade. In addition, they also need additional income.

You do have a really good point here about network providers lol; they are the ones who are going to make lots of profit at this time since a lot of people will need their phone to keep busy and avoid being bored.

But, what I'm happy about is that the network providers in my country has refused to cut the rate we pay for data. It's seriously annoying, and at this point of time everyone should be doing what they possibly can to help others. Most people have no jobs doing now and there isn't enough and everyone is trying to manage the little they have. I expect these companies to do the same and assist people so they will have a reason not to be bored and stay at home.

Many reasons, work, time, distance and cost. Everyone is different. Not all have internet. See data 2019.
The following summary / resume of digital data and internet users in 2019 in the world in the second quarter:
Total Population (total population) 7.697 billion in the world look that
Unique Mobile Users: 5.110 billion
Internet users: 4.437 billion
Active Social Media Users: 3.499 billion
Mobile Social Media Users: 3.429 billion

Of the many active users, Google is the most frequently opened web page, followed by YouTube and Facebook look that.

For the most active social media users, Facebook, YouTube and WatShapp are the most widely used. This is the number of users of social media platforms based on active users.

From these data, yo  know which one you should choose if you are promoting online. I always support if there are people who promote BTC with good intentions. Sorry I got the data in 2019, for 2020 I think it has improved very much.

There are some things that hindering me from promoting/telling something about Bitcoin to other people.

1. People around me aren't interested on it. They don't have any financial background or anything related to investment. If I will just share it to just random people, it will make a funny shit because I'm sharing something that they don't even understand and probably not interested of. I'm not against your agenda to share and promote Bitcoin to other people and I actually like it but the problem with some here are they don't have the mindset like us. They aren't investors at all and they aren't interested on learning on it.

2. I know that most of the places right now have internet already but in our country, there are still many people who doesn't have any access to internet because of financial problems. How can these people invest into Bitcoin if they don't have access to internet.

Yes everything can happen. But if you make the BTC cycle from the lowest price it will break your a little belief . Two times halving BTC always goes up. Many social media users and know the benefits. Even though the corona virus is ongoing and the economy is weak I think BTC will continue to rise even slowly. The influence of media becomes dominant, because all the good and bad fundamentals can be seen quickly through the internet media. Look at yesterday's news media made many people panic and BTC dump.

I definitely agree with you as we can use this opportunity to grab more users and investors in crypto industry but the problem will be, who will be the one to market the bitcoin? If we will do it free then we can use some of the platforms like FB,Twitter and etc. but for those paid advertisement there should be someone who will shoulder it in order to reach a wider audience.

What I am talking about are those big whales who keep on holding the bitcoin so they can increase the price easily especially if the demand will grow significantly. Enough knowledge on how to market bitcoin is the main hindrance for me to reach out more people because I am not yet prepared to answer all of their questions if I am going to market bitcoin right now.

I don't think it will happen.

If something would happen in this pandemic regarding Bitcoin, I think it would be those people having no choice but to sell their Bitcoin will happen and I think it is already happening since not all of us can support ourselves without salaries. Those people having hard times will obviously not be going into Bitcoin since they have to prioritize their essentials rather than investing.

I would loved to support to the promotion of bitcoin. Many people didn't know what to do during the lockdown because of the pandemic. If there are many advertisement about bitcoin right now, people have time to search for the use of bitcoin or any other things they want to know. Though there are still people who have no interest in bitcoin but atlest we do our part to make the digital currency community to grow bigger.

China is a country that has been taking advantage of the moment, not only to invest in Bitcoin, China has been buying shares on Wall Street very cheaply, apart from that they want and maintain the launch of their own stablecoin, obviously there are always opportunities from different points of view or according to the angle from which the situation is focused.

People might get no interest this time because they are prioritizing their daily combat against the pandemic and couldn't think about acquiring business anymore nor they adopt the system. I know and I believe that this won't last forever, the crisis may over soon and people come to investment again. If I have enough money by now, I should have to take the opportunity...

Yes,maybe now is the good time  to use bitcoin because of covid19 but nowadays has no assurance that it will boast the value of bitcoin because many people at this time is much concern with their daily needs to survive and to fight corona virus. Many people would not think about investment nowadays although it is good to use bitcoin now to send money because many remittance center are closed.

Unless your friends already know how to trade and have a long history of doing so and obtaining profits most likely they are going to get burned in this market and they will lose money they may use for something they really need, I understand their enthusiasm but trying to trade immediately without any knowledge is just asking for trouble, as we know this market can move incredibly fast and if your friends do not use a stop loss and they use a lot of leverage they could lose all their money as soon as the market moves in a way they cannot predict.

I do think one needs to have a small amount of freedom so as when they choose the invest in Bitcoins , that is their own decision , people won't always appreciate you going upto them and telling them about Bitcoins.
Most of the millennials doesn't seem to like Bitcoins at all , for them stability is the key.
What we can do is to make sure we can periodically put stuff about Bitcoins online on our social media and discuss about this to our friends who really wanna engage in it , let's be honest , no one wants a person who never wanted to be engaged in the first place.
One should be interested about the Bitcoins , the cryptocurrencies.

I think the most problem with the virus is not the virus itself but rather the effect of the economy. The economy was doing very badly before and now more so then ever. I think though that this lockdown might
bring with it some new opportunity. One thing is for sure the planet is loving it and for the first time birds can be heard in China which is so sad.

Sorry to ask but where are you from? Depending on the zone there are services that allow for blockchain transactions to happen via text messages! I know that Dash was doing something akin to that in latin america. About people not having a investment background, everyone at some point has thought that investing in something is a good idea, be it their own business, a car, whatever. Bitcoin is just like this, and despite how poor a country is bitcoin can always be a good investment idea.

I think Bitcoin now is nothing but a chinese scam and a push to trade what they're invested in.. I don't see BTC being legitimiate going forward and especially useless to the west. I f anything I find that more and more people realize its a controlled scam to push towards a digital world.  Look at the people speaking positively about BTC, its almost 100% asians.  There is no use for a global currency going forward, this was just a giant myth and a psyop to continue pushing for cashless system and a one world currency, sadly only the people in freedomless countries and pushing it.   

Just look at the reason people cite for buying bitcoin. They're clearly coming from kids and young people who have not yet learned the structure of things.

it is dropping now and there are some threads that discussed about the incoming downfall again before the Bull comes.
so basically some are planning to sell now as this is considerable as High and buying at low soon and this is something to expect.
but this is just my another assumption so it is your decision to buy but for now?i have enough Holdings so maybe considering to buy is not my first option now.

Government suggest the comunity  for work from home, so probably many people will interested in btc or other cryptocurrency investment. But promote btc in this situation is not as easy as we think because as long as the covid19 still spreading then the price of btc and other assets will keep drop. People have a great fear of all kinds of investment. Maybe the best that we can do for those who still new in btc investment is by convince them that this is good time to buy but not a good time to sell, don't expect immediate return and hold btc for longer time.

It won't work as you have imagined. Even if there is no quarantine, people tend to surf the internet every single day. I am sure that they also know about bitcoin but they just disregard it due to their own reason. Even if we promote bitcoin through social media and elsewhere, they will just disregard it because of the covid-19 issue. Every individual is saving their money and storing enough food for their needs, I doubt that they will give their time listening because people needs to do what they need to do right now.

You better save the talk for yourself man, nothing is much as good as investing with cryptocurrencies now, not even in stocks. Maybe you need to post some of your stuffs in your social media accounts for the people in touched with you must know what you are up to and think that they should do investing too. You don't need to promote bitcoin in times like this, people are needs money right now not profit, but there are people who wants to take advantage of the scene to prepare for a better future and those people are the ones that we wanted to come in here. Don't explain too much of bitcoin, let them be curious about it.

I am afraid that they can just easily reject me even without saying all I know about it. Base on my experience, they are not interested in bitcoin, since then, I stopped promoting it to anyone unless they show their interest in front of me.

No, every people in the whole world is in need of money. They might reject this bitcoin promotion since what they prioritize is their need and not to make a profit, especially if they don't know until when they need to wait to have their return of investment.

You actually got some point though and i agree that most people now globally are more focused online which it isnt really bad to spread out bitcoins existence or the entire crypto market
but the thing here is that we cant be sure if it would gain that much traction yet we know that majority of people now are on panic or even trying hard to seek out for online jobs
to sustain their lives specially now we are on a very difficult situation.So it would be still on 50-50 when it comes to exposure or they would be attracted or just simply still be ignored.

Yes, same like you i think this is a fit time to promote about Bitcoin and other Future assets

1. No one can hinder me, but people have different interest so we will hard to make bitcoin promotion, except we meet the very curious people
2. Yes, fully agreed :)

Use for what? You said that it is a good time to use it but you also said that people are more concerned about the things they needed and also these money remittances being closed so you are also countering what you are saying. For me, not the best time to use it, but as you also said about investment, I think it is the best time to invest because of the incoming halving.

It is true that now is a good time to promote bitcoin to be known to many people, because most people will be online in such situations.
Like now in corona virus crisis. But it is not easy to reach people to want to invest in bitcoin, because most people will find safe by
choosing investments in gold rather than investments in bitcoin whose risk is very high. This is our challenge to promote and convince
people to invest in bitcoin by explaining the benefits gained when investing in bitcoin.

Maybe he is trying to say about a good time to use as a currency. But it seems to be out of chance because not all stores/establishments are open for this type of transaction, in fact, they are converting it into fiat money for the sake that they can make use of it.

And you are right, a good time to start crypto-investment not only in the anticipating for the upcoming halving but the price is much acceptable and affordable to the people. Yet, halving has come near but we can't expect how it can push the market at high since we are still in low market support.

if you see from the many people who are quarantined at home and honestly the same as you might be the most appropriate to introduce more about bitcoin. because it is clear that while at home they will be preoccupied with many who use the internet, but whether at this exact moment they themselves are filled with uncertainty and haunted by fears of infection that continues to grow. certainty. so they may not be able to listen well but instead they want to relax and do not want to mess around with what will be learned again. it all depends back to what is currently being quarantined at home, whether they can calm themselves from fear and so on.

promote bitcoin when COVID-19 is the best choice for a healthy blockchain ecosystem, tell them what bitcoin is, how to invest bitcoin and how to protect bitcoin from hackers, it is likely that many people will be interested in buying bitcoin and investing with bitcoin,
but don't overdo it in promoting bitcoin and spam on social networks, because you will be labeled negative as a person who is crazy about wealth. rather than saving people from corona outbreaks

I only promoting it to those people who are interested to what will I say, I do not force someone to learn something because it is not appropriate. It is better if they will reach us first because it only indicates that they are interested to learn from us. Like right now, there are many opportunities  in the market but I do not say it to the people who do not have care. I only saying to the people who are interested to my opinions about stocks and cryptocurrencies.

I have an assessment to you that you don't see the price of bitcoin and most altcoin prices at this time (when the pandemic came) you are right bitcoin price had gone down when the pandemic came but if you really see its price movement you will agree if I say bitcoin price is still in bull market. At that time bitcoin was going up for more then $1000 in 24 hours and now or a few days ago bitcoin had tried as well to reach $8000, meaning bitcoin is good asset when this pandemic is still spreading. And I guess I still consider that now is a good time to buy bitcoin or even altcoin.

I guess not a good time to invest for someone that really need a help when it comes to financial but if you have money to invest it would be great to invest it.

At this moment we are experiencing a pandemic that is why we are under the enhanced community quarantine. Our situation right now is not that easy, there is a crisis in our economy. With this situation the stock market is subsiding, the value of the coins become cheap. So this is the time that we may buy many coins and them wait until such time that thr value becomes higher. From that we can gain so much money and have so much return on investment. We can sell the coins that we buy these days when the value becomes higher.

I’d say that network providers should do their part at this time by offering free services or at least reducing the rate for most of their services. We are all in this together, so they should try to support the people and not make things more difficult.

There isn’t really anything that one can do at this time to have fun if not social media, so they should try to consider. Network providers where I live has not been doing much, all they did was just a very little decrease to what we pay for data, and to me the cut off they did is completely useless, they are better off leaving it the way it was. That’s what happens when you’re living in countries where nobody cares.
