I rarely go out of the house when there is nothing important for me to do, but in the past week I was idly out of the house just to watch a football game which is very close to where I live. Then I started to be surprised when I read that there was a sponsor that said Crypto and there was someone wearing a shirt that said Bitcoin. This actually made me very amazed besides I was a little surprised because what I know around where I live no one knows about Crypto and Bitcoin.

And even most people here don't want to know about Crypto and Bitcoin because they already consider it as something that is completely unimportant to them. But I'm actually very happy when I know this now because I'm trying to conclude that Crypto and Bitcoin have started to be liked by some people around me even though I don't know who they are, but this makes me happy to see it and also makes me even more excited to continue learning Crypto and Bitcoin and trying to tell everyone that Crypto and Bitcoin are good things to know and learn. Hopefully in the future there will be more people who want to learn Crypto and Bitcoin here because I never tell about Crypto and Bitcoin to people around me. How is the condition of Crypto and Bitcoin in your area guys?

Which country it is? I'd like to know since it's a local football league, usually crypto project or business usually sponsoring a big or international league only. I think the country already accept Bitcoin as legal and friendly with Bitcoin, so no one worried if he's wear a Bitcoin clothes.

AFAIK there's already few events that launch an esports or sports event where the prizepool are 100% crypto, I think they're smart since they didn't need to spent a lot money to pay the winners.

First, the picture you showed does not look rural to me, nonetheless, it is good to see someone wearing a Bitcoin shirt. The awareness about Bitcoin is on and I know that with time the remotest areas of the world would hear about it.

But more civilization is still needed in so many rural areas because the challenge they will have is the lack of internet facilities, while some don't even have electricity. It will take time, sponsors and several awarenesses for this to be achieved in full.

I am sure that people are more and more aware of the name 'Bitcoin' or crypto, but that dosen't mean they understand it or will use it. Especialy in rural areas where people might not have the needs to trade with it (general knowlage of it, personal infrastructure like computers or even public infrastructure like internet accessibility) or the means to invest in it. Until those issues are resolved steps towards their adoption of crypto can't be taken.

Things must happen naturally. Just like education, when you force someone to learn, pay course fee for them, most of them don't have interest to learn and even if they have to go to class, join online courses, they don't actually learn proactively. It's not effective, waste of money and time.

The awareness and adoption of Bitcoin increases with each halving and consequent bull run.

The increasing adoption occurs by proactively activities (education, social media seeding, etc.) and natural activities that you can not stop.

Crypto is a digital asset so it's difficult to know how many persons in your neighbourhood are crypto enthusiast. One way to get good data about how many persons are into cryptocurrency is to host an exciting event it can be a football tournament or even a conference just like what you have in your area  that will lure crypto friendly individuals. That way it will be easy to give a good estimate of how crypto friendly your environment could be

Based on my life experience, I can say many of the most ambitious people I ever met came from a rural background.  Many rural areas around the world are populated by poor people, and if they see an opportunity they will likely risk it.  So it is not surprising to see someone supporting and trying to promote Bitcoin, particularly when you think that poor people often do not have access to technology and Bitcoin may be to them what spaceships are to us.

Best part of all of this is, Bitcoin can grant them access to so many opportunities through free decentralized banking.  When you think Cryptocurrencies could be the way the poorest areas in the world could finally have access to banking and all of that, you can not not be amazed.

Very interesting that a company would support such a minor football game. If you want you can share what company it is, since if they want to advertise, but you censor the advertisement that does not make sense. Anyway it is a cool thing to see and I hope stuff like this will be more and more common.

In the area where I live , even though there's a Ban placed on cryptocurrency transaction but the rate at which people are embracing it Is becoming more interesting to me, expecially there's an increase adoption among the youths, and looking at the urge and rate of Bitcoin adoption around the world ,it will soon get to the stage where anybody that aren't involved with crypto will begin to think he/she is left behind.


And do you expect his own rural areas and your own rural areas to look the same before?, Exept if you're from his country side , even with Palm trees you could see from the photo it still do not seem rural area to you, I think this is not case here.

I guess as it was a local league so there is possibilities that the sponsor was a single person and not an organisation or business.
He just wanted to sponsor the league with Bitcoins that’s all.
And also as it was very local tournament, so there is no need to take any government’s permission to host the matches or neither BTC or Cryptos are required to be legalised there. I don’t know the exact thing that might have happened there, but yes feeling proud after listening to OP.
I live in quite urban city, so in case of my place, many of the people are aware of Cryptos.

Yes, many youths in my area are very ready to know more about Bitcoin and crypto in the community despite the government has banned it some years ago which many crypto users are making a strong effort to ensure Bitcoin and crypto will be legalized again in the country 2023, so that many decentralized facilitators will come out openly to impact those who are willing to know Bitcoin and crypto in the rural community. Those that have ideas on Bitcoin in the rural community are doing well in every area of their lifes compared to those who don't have any knowledge about decentralized currency and how it works for humanity in the land are seriously experiencing  hardship, because they don't believe that people can use it to grow their economy and family in the societies.

Actually, that a person is seen wearing a Bitcoin t-shirt doesn't mean he or she knows about Bitcoin, because at times such people may be wearing the t-shirt for years but never noticed "Bitcoin" was written on it. Don't be surprise. Because Bitcoin goes beyond mere write-up on a t-shirt, and it's nice getting to know the football match was organize by a crypto lover, but I can't find any sign showing this match was meant to promote Bitcoin


So how were you able to conclude on such statement, because you just said you are the type who doesn't like going out, of which moreover, crypto is a digital stuff of which it will be hard to actually tell how many people are actually into it without organizing a get together or seminars for crypto lovers to determine how the turn up

actually bitcoin and crypto are already known everywhere so no need to be surprised to see that, if I'm not mistaken it looks like this is one of the countries in Asia but I don't know where but I believe it's in Asia and as we know bitcoin and crypto are very well known too in the asia region

It's in Indonesia (cmiiw).

As far as my experience goes, it's not a corporate ad. As is usually the case in my area, it is done by corporate affiliates (mostly local exchanges) when a prize event is held.
Sometimes exchanges offer high share of affiliate commissions that exceed normal offers, these affiliates dare to open offer stalls in shopping centers in big cities.

crypto is very known in my country thanks to facebook groups and scammers. it helped the word out. so far father in law bought my BTC lol that's how popular BTC is and there are banks already allowing its clients to invest in BTC.

did you talk to the kid wearing that BTC shirt? you could actually become friends with him if you approach. i have some kids staring at me while i was wearing BTC shirt, when i as why they stared at me they point my shirt and ask if i was a bitcoiner.  :D  and the kids brag about the millions of SHIB in their wallet.

bitcoin is not some AI. nor a robot with mechanical legs.

it cannot walk into your community and then teach people
it requires people to get involved.

i think everyone should do their little part. even as simple as set up a little location even if it is just at a locally known coffee shop. where by you announce in your local community via signage community message boards, or a local newspapers advertising column about a "bitcoin meetup" where people can come and talk/learn about it with other nice people.

see who turns up.
if enough turn up and they are already interested in it. you can all discuss what local retailers you all use regularly that you would like to see accept bitcoin. and try to find ways to make that happen(works best with independat stores not national chains)

simple things like if there is a regular btc buyer.. use that buyer as the gateway. where he will hand a retailer a QR code and will pay the retailer fiat for all BTC received .. that way the retailer gets fiat and the btc buyer gets btc.
then strengthen that if the retailer wants to be more interested in btc than just a random extra payment method.

This couldn't look better than being a rural settings, consider the sitting, the pitch and the natural grass, an urban football stadium couldn't have look like this, i think the community there are really football enthusiast to have decorated the match in this beauty, while the fan expressing thier interest on bitcoin.


Of no doubt, adoption is increasingly going higher everyday without a limit


This is happening already, a situation where no barrier can be made on bitcoin to be use as payment means, the mobile phone without internet is an example in one of the African countries.

I look at this and what I see is how branding and branded materials is having a positive effect regarding increasing the popularity of bitcoins. As you took note of the inscription on the shirt likewise others who have taken note of it as well. It is good thing that regardless of government policies they do not affect wearing branded materials. Noticing that there is need to play a part, I advice OP that if possibly you take it upon yourself to maybe give out more materials branded with bitcoins. It could go a long way regardless of any limitations the government in your place has set.

How many persons will be willing to pay for a ticket to a cryptocurrency conference or tournament even with discounted offers. tournaments brings people of like minds together and when its done without a price tag it attracts even more crowd. If you were to ask individuals, how many persons can you really ask? How much patience and tolerance can you endure to see this work.

Yes, it's hard to conclude if the man displayed on the picture is a bitcoin adopter without further evidence. There are people who simply think the logo design of bitcoin on the clothes is pretty and purchase it for themselves or to gift others. It's not hard to hear stories of people who use clothes or accessories displaying unknown symbols to them, and once they realize what they mean, people get really surprised sometimes.

Anyway, at least bitcoin is reaching to these people somehow, slowly and step by step on their subconscious.

With this people of your location could've come to know about the term cryptocurrency. Slowly people start to explore. Even you can help them know about it. A person sponsoring football match and making displays around the ground mentioning cryptocurrencies is the right plan of him to make people know about it. Simple if the sponsor person say that he turned rich out of it, now onwards everyone starts learning.

With some plotting of our government for making rules about the regulation of crypto, it's starting to be known. Actually, it was already known. And I have started to see that the mindset and belief for bitcoin was totally changed. Before, it's just almost negative when they talk about bitcoin. That it's just only used for dark market transactions and not for mainstream use but this time, it seems to be okay to own and hold it or even you use it for payments. The outlook of bitcoin and the whole crypto market has became positive and that's good for everyone and to the enthusiasts like me that never changed our minds even for a single inch.

^ That was expected by us that cryptocurrencies will become a global alternative to currency or fiat.
I did not see the same as yours that someone wearing a BTC logo t-shirt but I saw last month a BTC logo on a car in my city, I am also amazed that I am not the only one who knows BTC in my place. In the games where I played, I usually see a name of cryptocurrencies like BTC and ETH. I know the owner of those account have an awareness of the cryptocurrencies and I think this is a good start of a global adoption.

I believe bitcoin and crypto awareness will be easily spread even in rural areas too as some of them have installed internet already and that they can see everything about bitcoin and crypto being talked in the internet. So it’s not true at all that people living in rural areas are still deprived from learning new technologies as they can learn all they want if they wish too. Besides, bitcoin and crypto nowadays have already been the talk everywhere, so how much more if it’s global adoption will become successful in the end. Expect that all rural areas will be aware about it.

I thought it was only printed in the shirts until I looked into the posters outside. I am pretty sure that most of the people there already knew about Bitcoin since you mentioned it as a sponsor. Not familiar from the logo shown in the photos so I am pretty sure it is not here in my country which is kind of bummer. I would be so shocked in a good way when someone wears a Bitcoin shirt here in my area since people here around my area does not know what crypto truly is let alone Bitcoin.

I guess I also answered already your question on the condition of crypto and Bitcoin here in my area. I am still hoping that people around here in my area considers using it at least if not investing to it. I am not going to put too much effort letting people know about crypto in here since here in my block, people are close minded anyways. :D

I totally agree with you. For example, I read some days how bitcoins donated during one of its conferences was used to build a borehole to provide potable drinking water for a rural community in Nigeria. Those folks who live the this community just like you have mentioned may have heard about bitcoin but have no knowledge of how it is used. In the OP's case, I think that there may be one or two curious folks in the crowd who actually own some satoshis. Besides, Bitcoin is more popular than we know.

I am also very surprised when seeing a sponshorship with Crypto.
https://i.imgur.com/ZIzZpPr.png

Well, this is very unpredictable that actually many people around us may exactly know and live with crypto. But none will exactly rise it up to the society because we know how our society and also crypto news in the country. I think that we live in a similar country after seeing the photo.
Yes exactly, we commonly will not tell other people clearly that we are working or earning with crypto, but in fact, I also ever saw several times people holding their mobile phones and watching for the charts of exchanges. It seems that crypto is now not very strange in our society. But make it as a sponsorship, it's really amazing.

If not mistaken, this is in Indonesia. Here, crypto is legal as a commodity asset, but not legal as a currency.

I agree that the demographics and audience that crypto aims to attract may be difficult to reach right now. In order for this to proceed, Bitcoin businesses might need to focus on more low-income countries and arrange partnerships with internet service providers and cell phone companies. The goal is to present information about a way for people without access to banks or currency exchange (2/3rds of people in Africa live below $2 per day) gain access to digital currency. To accomplish this goal, it must be made available at an affordable rate in places where these people live, work, and receive an education. Regardless of age bracket or level of financial resources available, there are steps that can be taken toward making cryptocurrencies more accessible.

Where I came from, gone are the days they see bitcoin as ponzi or scam, the stage they are now is that if they understand that you are into bitcoin genuinely, they will see you as an enlightened person who may be very rich in secret and they will like to associate with you. Since I notice the development I am happy.
If I travel in this Christmas period I will be able to organise any crypto awareness programme and try to educate some few persons I could educate. That will be with 24th of December, 2022  to 4th of January 2023.

Even in my region we used to organise small tournaments in which teams surrounding our region used to participate. The spreading is taking fast phase from the bottom. Maybe the same can be done around to create awareness, even now very small percentage of the population know about cryptocurrencies. As small percentage is aware of it, there are people working full-time to make money out of them with false promises.

Maybe this has spread to even the smallest places because it's also the same in my area now that things like this have started to spread.
A few days ago my country celebrated independence and usually there are several celebrations and competitions held and I saw at a competition that was held to celebrate the independence there were several t-shirts worn by participants wearing crypto-related sponsors even though it said "Bounty and Airdrop" but this is still relevant I think and they know that this is part of Crypto but it's a shame I didn't take a picture at that time.

For my side, Bitcoin is no longer a new word , when you mention the word there is the possibility that the average person around you must have heard of it. It’s quite popular these days , but the only thing is that I don’t see people using it; it seems like they only want to talk about it and not actually put it to use. Though I can find people accepting it online, but it is not the same offline. But I do hope with time we will get to see more usage of Bitcoin  offline, and not just only online.

Crypto and bitcoin are already known by rural communities but no one has dared to promote bitcoin to all the people where they live, because most of the people where I live most of them want instant results, even though we know investing in bitcoin takes time. it takes a long time, sometimes even the money we invest can stop in bitcoin, because of the price problem that sometimes drops which makes us have to be patient, but in the countryside where I live there are already several people who have adopted bitcoin, including myself, it took me a very long time to learn bitcoin, good luck he never got tired of teaching me about bitcoin, I hope that one day people who live where I live want to learn about bitcoin.

Bitcoin always started like that, just like us before, a lot of people knew about bitcoin from the early years but a lot of people didn't care about it but after many other encounters we just started to study it, we were intrigued by its volatility or its technology.

People in the countryside may not pay attention to bitcoin when they first encounter it, but when they have heard a lot about bitcoin, they will surely be very curious and want to learn about them.

There is no one who does not want to earn money or be financially free, so I believe that in the near future rural people will also invest in bitcoin or will use bitcoin as a means of payment for convenience benefits it brings.

Sometimes there's this kind of feeling that Bitcoin is being treated as a taboo in discussions here. There are probably two reasons. First, Bitcoin is still not thoroughly understood by many. And it has yet to be fully disassociated from scams and other suspicious investment opportunities. Second, whoever claims that he/she has Bitcoin could be wrongly presumed rich. This is only my personal observation, though.

The development of crypto and bitcoin is really amazing now, it solves the problem of people saying bitcoin is not real, interestingly you say people there don't care and don't want to know what Bitcoin or Crypto is, but indirectly they watch the game and receive sponsors.
I think public awareness of this problem has started to open, and we can be sure that one year in the future, bitcoin will be increasingly enjoyed by people around you.

Play-to-earn games became a trend last year and many of the citizens here on our country got hyped to it thinking that they can be rich in short amount of time. Many people invested on games such as axie and pegaxy that they are aren't bothered taking a loan for a $1000 nft because the potential profit during those time is very high. They didn't consider the risk of investing on those crypto related projects which we know that are very volatile. Now that we are in bear season and all cryptos are down, it ruined many people's live that many of them were not able to recover their investment and there are some that got into debt. Many people now here sees bitcoin and other crypto a scam and only the early investors will benefit from them. Many here are still not properly educated that cryptocurrencies are not a get-rich-quick scheme.

OP, reading your post made me smile. May I ask how did you find out about Bitcoin? You rarely leave the house, therefore you do not communicate with many people, which you confirm. But why such confidence that no one except you should know about cryptocurrencies and bitcoin?
Does the Internet work in your village? And there are young guys who I'm sure are very good at it, which means they can just as well hang out next to you on the forum, but just as well without telling everyone about it.
But in conclusion, I am very glad that you meet such people, and if you are a little open, even more people in your region can get knowledge about bitcoins. :)

We can not tell if all the people there will like bitcoin and will invest on bitcoin by the time they see it there because there are also people who will stick on fiat currencies. The price of btc and the adoption that is happening globally can still be a sign that many people likes and invest in bitcoin.

Bitcoin is not a secret anymore. No wonder my people who didn't know and use bitcoin before and are now also involved in here and we will only figure that out once we met them. Not all that invest in bitcoin are all successful but many have also lost their wealth and they are now cursing it if they are still alive because there are also who end their lives, unfortunately.

Just because you saw a guy with a Bitcoin shirt doesn't mean that Bitcoin is getting popular in your local community.
I have the feeling that Crypto/Bitcoin is getting more popular in the underdeveloped countries, rather than the developed countries.
Probably because the fiat currencies of those underdeveloped countries are weak and cannot be easily converted into a global fiat currency like USD. There's nothing wrong for crypto to gain adoption inside rural communities. The problem is that many crypto scams are the first thing that is getting spread among people, who don't have enough knowledge about blockchain technology and the crypto industry in general.
This might create a negative experience, which might scare away many people from Bitcoin.

Just because a guy wears a shirt with a bitcoin logo isn't enough to prove that people there care about bitcoin, but it does prove that bitcoin is spreading and popular and has reached rural areas.
Most of the developed countries know about bitcoin but they don't mind because they have a stable life, stable economy, so they don't need to innovate right away.


The fact is that we cannot stop everyone who uses bitcoin's reputation and rural people's ignorance to commit fraud in order to profit. But with the development of the internet today and the popularity of smartphones, I think there is no need to worry, scam stories are spread a lot on social networks nowadays, people will not hard to find. As I see where I live, people are very wary of anything new.
Once people start to be curious about bitcoin, they will search for it everywhere on the internet and they will also somewhat avoid scams.

That's what I thought. I would expect more to say that bitcoin is starting to be known in rural communities than a guy wearing a T-shirt. Anything that makes bitcoin part of everyday life is welcome, at least from my side, but sometimes on this forum people overestimate events that are not so important.

This is called progress and it is starting to grow even though it is slow. That's why we have seen the big companies racing towards reaching their hands to have it as well because they already know the potentials it could bring in the future. Remember we were just a few backs then who were trusting the money revolution and yet we push forward until we grow and the future will be more prosperous with the help of the people who continue to support bitcoins no matter how much the price is.

It seems you misunderstood the words and the image he meant, because what I saw and what he said he saw someone wearing a black t-shirt that said Bitcoin, not a football match sponsored by the company. So do some research in reading to understand what the OP is talking about and pay attention to the thread titles created.

Actually, without realizing it in the countryside, many people know about crypto and Bitcoin but don't publish it to the environment like your example, because according to them it will be very difficult to explain one by one in the countryside, let alone explain it to people who are old.

I was happy when there was one banner among other banners that sponsored a small-scale football tournament held in one of the villages.
My guess is that this soccer tournament is located in Indonesia. Is it true?

From the two photos you shared, Bitcoin has started to enter villages and that is a good thing because Indonesia crypto is prohibited as a means of payment but is not a problem as a commodity asset because Indonesia has started to apply taxes for every crypto transaction.
If those who are on the spot and directly involved in these activities are able to provide a clear explanation to those who ask what the intent and purpose behind the sponsor's banner is, I'm sure they will start to explore further so that slowly the interest in Bitcoin will increase.

I'm sure many people who see the banner and the clothes worn by one of the viewers will wonder why there are still people wearing clothes that say Bitcoin and why there are crypto groups that provide sponsorship even though both are banned in Indonesia and even the Organization issued a kind of rule that is prohibited in Muslims.

It's quite strange if it's banned, but there's still an exchange market. By rule Indonesia already has a regulatory body and they have declared that crypto is legal as a commodity asset. So there is indeed still a debate on the issue of crypto. What is prohibited is as a medium of exchange for buying and selling. Because the legal currency there is rupiah.
For Indonesia, I am also from Indonesia and live in a village. I also have a T-shirt that says Bitcoin. But indeed I rarely wear it. It seems that quite a lot of indonesians already understand but they don't really show that. My friend is just one area trading and he doesn't really show himself to others.

I agree, that progress is getting to a great level. I just got my door fixed, a small thing, my rooms door was broken a bit and someone who repairs doors came in, was like 20 bucks or something nothing big deal and he spent about an hour and left. I can say that as soon as he heard that I work in crypto, he started to talk about it and we talked an hour about it and he learned so much about crypto.

This is why I really think that we should be happy about people who fix doors are getting there. I am not saying people who fix doors or work in door business can't be interested in crypto, but let's be honest and realize that only computer related job people like me got interested at first, now EVERYONE is equally in it, and not just computer people.

If it’s in the Asian region, then bitcoin and cryptocurrency is already known and popular even in provinces as people are still updated on it because there are now internet connections everywhere. But it’s my first time really to see bitcoin supporting local event like this as it’s always international events that it’s mostly covering. And since it’s happening already, then expect that there will be a lot more that will soon to happen which will be supported by bitcoin or other cryptocurrency.

  We will never see the good thing about bitcoin if we always stick on being negative about it and believing all the government lies about it. Unless if we start opening our own minds and learn to explore what’s there in crypto that made it more the center of attention. I’m just thankful that our government here is also not strict when it comes to bitcoin, although it’s not adopted yet but I know the people will make it possible in the years to come.

How do you know that they don't want to know crypto or are not interested in crypto?
I think you are wrong about this. They may be interested in crypto but they are still afraid because there are too many FUDs or negative issues about crypto. I am sure they never think it is unimportant, they will refuse everything related to crypto if they think it is unimportant or bad things.

I am sure it is Indonesia. We can easy to guess it from the gesture of the people in the picture.  :D
And I think the football game is a part of the events on the anniversary of Indonesia independence day.

Correct me if I'm wrong  ;D

It's almost the same as where I live, even though they have had higher education and have studied for several years but it's still difficult to find work, especially for people who are not highly educated like me, it's definitely very difficult. looking for work, even into manual labor. it was very difficult for that I learned to understand bitcoin and entered the crypto world to improve my finances, when I watched a football match between villages I was very surprised because many young people were wearing bitcoin jerseys, there was even a soccer club sponsored directly by crypto, I hope that crypto and bitcoin can bring change to all circles, including people living in rural areas.

Bitcoin's popularity is actually growing. even where I work, bitcoin-related talk has started to become commonplace nowadays. even though a few months ago when I was new to bitcoin, there were still many who didn't know bitcoin. but now the conversation is always heard at work breaks. some talk about their investment experience, others ask for trading advice. so do not be surprised if even in rural areas have started to recognize bitcoin.

Recently, i visited my village. I saw young diploma holders have not really joined any jobs. They have taken 2 ventures, firstly they have taken up scientific organic farming and secondly they have invested in Bitcoin. These days a lot of young lot is getting into Bitcoin. This in a way is a big thing for us.

It is a village that is close to settlements and not so far from the city so that everyone who lives there is always easier to do activities and access to the city.

I'm not talking about remote villages that are in the interior with a lack of internet, electricity and other infrastructure facilities. But the village I mean is a village that is not so far from the city so that internet, electricity and other infrastructure facilities are quite adequate.


INDONESIA


It could be so, because what you say is still possible to be true. But logically, he who wears a shirt that says Bitcoin will also not make a screen printing on his shirt if he doesn't know what Bitcoin is because here there are no shops selling clothes that say Bitcoin.
Unless he ordered it through an online shop on his smartphone.

I don't like to leave the house, that doesn't mean I never leave the house at all, because I will only leave the house when there are necessities that I need to spend for my life. And I was just a little surprised when I saw this happening around me where there had never been anything like that here, so I concluded that now there are people who like and know Bitcoin and crypto around me.

---

I know about Bitcoin through people who are not near me, but I can still contact them when I have a question about Bitcoin. And I also don't know if they know about this forum because they just invited me to play on some crypto exchanges for trading and they told me to look at Bitcoin more.

I rarely leave the house if I don't have anything to do outside the house. But my belief in what I saw was because there were already people wearing Bitcoin clothes in the community who had never been seen before.

Very functional. Even some rich people's homes and YouTube platform activists have installed the internet in their respective homes to make it easier to work on the content they want. Because here there are so many people who like to work with the youtube platform so not too many people like Bitcoin and Crypto.


I conclude that because in the past I have offered some people who live near me to give education about crypto for free, but they turned it down and instead said Bitcoin was bullshit. So I decided to distance myself from them and never told them about crypto again until now.

Where there is internet, people have come to know about Cryptos by any source.
I think only old people might not have any knowledge on cryptos, else everyone who has access to internet irrespective of where he live in a rural or village area, is acquainted with cryptos.
Yes there might be some people who might not no but it’s really very rare to happen.
Nevertheless more people knowing about Bitcoins, is really affecting the price for which the demand of the coin is increasing and hence the price also increasing.

Honestly rural was not the part of the problem against adoption to begin with, rural is taking even more advantage of crypto right now because they do not have as much possibility of making money as someone who lives in a big city with millions of other people.

It meant that you would end up with a good profit if you were in a rural place and worked hard in the crypto world and you would become one of the richest in that place, instead of being unemployed or just a farmer. This of course is not an easy step to take, you should be working hard towards understanding crypto and not having anyone to talk to in person means you have to do it all online to learn.

Maybe you need to zoom the image, mate.
Or look at this quote:
It is not only about a person wearing the t-shirt but also the banner with Crypto that is considered as one of the sponsors of the match.
So, I am sure that crypto may be popular in the area. Or even it is not popular yet, with the banner, many more people will know about crypto and may be be curious about crypto.

Indeed, crypto in Indonesia is legal as a commodity asset but still illegal as a currency. But there is still debate about whether it is "haram" or not. That is why many of us that work in the crypto industry will commonly not tell people around us directly or clearly. I am also in this situation, people in my area may not know that I am working in the crypto industry and I also don't know if there are other people who are the same or not with me in my area. This is because of the different opinions about crypto here and still so many people having debates about this. So, it is better to avoid any debate.
But sometimes, I feel smiley and happy when going somewhere and finding other people in several times holding their phones and watching them with crypto exchanges and graphs. This means that actually, crypto has been very popular among us, but most of us will not show it clearly to the public.  ;D

It indicates that Investing or trading in Bitcoin/Altcoins is starting to be accepted by our society very well. Sure, it should begin with educated people or people who are familiar with the internet first since they have the highest chance to know Bitcoin/Altcoins. Those young diploma holders are just the example of educated people who know Bitcoin. And it becomes more interesting when they focus on independent business and invest/trade Bitcoin. This means they know well how to gain money from Bitcoin and from that independent business as well. If more young diploma holders do these, it will minimize the number of jobless people.

I am happy to know that more people become more creative and have great ideas for utilizing Bitcoin besides developing their business in real life.  :)

That’s certainly a fact as even in my own city where I lived, lots of negative thoughts about bitcoin are more spread than what it can be beneficial to the people. So how much more in rural areas where the people are less modernized so they easily believe on what is the news trend as they thought it’s already facts. The reason why complete adoption for bitcoin is so hard to achieved.

Bitcoin have been spreading rapidly in every part of the world both the rural areas and the urban areas, don't be suprise when you see people talking about bitcoin even when you don't think they will know about bitcoin, I stay in urban area am I think I really love the way people are talking about bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general most especially the youths.

You are funny, what do you mean it those not look rural? Is it because they are having football pitch or what's your reason? From the look that's not a standard football pitch and if you are not from the same country you can't conclude. You can't compare the rural area in Nigeria with another country their will definitely be difference.

I agree that people are a lot more aware about crypto currencies and especially Bitcoin due to the popularity it gained through the internet. But I am not sure if they actually know well about its functionality and the crypto market in general. Still, it is good to see that Bitcoin is becoming a familiar word even in rural or semi-urban areas.

Thanks to my work, I have a lot of interaction with people on farms, and in rural areas, but what is most difficult for them is internet services, there are farms where there is no electricity, they do not have transformers, for those people It is very difficult to work, nor does he have a computer.

I cannot deny when I talk about bitcoin, they do not express their opinion because it is something new and they do not know, sometimes it is difficult because they do not know or interact with computers, only children and young people who go to high school to study, they if they handle more things about technology and because some of them have smartphones, through them it is easier.

There is no way bitcoin will be successfully introduced to people that doesn't have internet access. It won't work. Bitcoin is something that is done with internet and it is not a theory thing. Wherever there is internet and the people use smart phones there is no how they will not hear or read about Bitcoin. So internet is the greatest medium to knowing about Bitcoin.
My fear for new people knowing about Bitcoin is that they may come in with the get rich quick mindset which doesn't work but it is difficult for btc to do x10 again.

I have yet to print a new Bitcoin shirt since my old one is already too big for me to wear because I have lost a lot of weight. Now I am wearing medium to large sized shirts instead of XL or double XL in average. Maybe this week I’ll print one, probably a black dri-fit shirt with the Bitcoin logo.

It’s good to see someone advocating Bitcoin by just simply wearing that shirt in such non-crypto events. Keep it coming!

Bitcoin not only belongs to people in urban areas who are very modern with all their technology, but Bitcoin belongs to everyone even those who are far from urban living in rural areas like the example the OP shows,
so Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies now don't only belong to certain people, and this will be good for the future of Bitcoin, cryptocurrency and of course Blockchain technology

That's true, I often visit several areas and even banners that are quite large I've seen about Ghazali who are viral and successful because their NFTs are sold on the NFT market.HERE  (https://images.app.goo.gl/L5VL7sK1jUt4vazm9)
indeed cryptocurrencies including bitcoin are new, spread and known. good interest makes in my country every time there are new people who know and are interested. the emergence of local exchanges and events with local wisdom makes crypto easy to recognize on the pretext of referrals for get sponsorship.
and it is possible that banking services will collaborate with bitcoin to reach rural areas. there is internet there there is a chance for bitcoin to grow wherever it is

As time goes on, the popularity of Bitcoin and its positive impact will make more people more aware of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, and people's awareness of Bitcoin will continue to increase. The future prospects of Bitcoin and the entire cryptocurrency market will become optimistic and promising.

I know young people are quick to accept new things. Before I thought that people around me hadn't heard of cryptocurrencies. I have never talked about cryptocurrency with people around me. But by chance I overheard them talking about cryptocurrencies and making money through cryptocurrencies. I feel incredible. Because the other party is very old, I thought they were not interested in these.

It's great to hear that Crypto and Bitcoin are gaining some recognition in your local community. Knowledge and awareness are essential steps towards wider adoption. https://coinremitter.com/?utm_source=com&utm_medium=bitcointalks (https://coinremitter.com/?utm_source=com&utm_medium=bitcointalks) believes in the power of cryptocurrency education, and we're glad to see your enthusiasm for learning more about this exciting technology.

Cryptocurrency and Bitcoin can offer various benefits, such as security, transparency, and financial inclusion. They can be used for various purposes, including online and cross-border payments. Coinremitter supports these advancements by providing an easy-to-use crypto payment gateway, helping businesses and individuals seamlessly transact in digital currencies. It's heartening to know that more people are exploring these possibilities.

If you ever have questions or want to know more about utilizing cryptocurrencies for your everyday transactions, please feel free to ask.

It's possible that the assumptions you have about the people around you could be wrong. Because as we know, people who own bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies tend to be anonymous and keep their ownership of these assets (bitcoin & crypto) secret. So you might think that the people around you don't know about Bitcoin or cryptocurrency, even though it could be that many of them already know about it but it's kept secret by each of them. And maybe because of that, there are people in your area who wear clothes and sponsors that say bitcoin/crypto at football matches.

As a cryptocurrency investor, especially bitcoin. We will definitely be very happy to see the people around us when someone joins or invests in bitcoin/crypto. Because at least we have friends to share about bitcoin or crypto investment. Apart from that, bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are currently experiencing very high growth in interest from year to year. So it is not surprising that in remote or rural areas people are starting to get to know bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. Intentionally or not, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin continue to spread to many people in various countries. So basically bitcoin/crypto is spreading throughout the world because it is a very good and potential investment asset or means of payment, especially bitcoin.

I'm not sure of the details, but my guess is there is progress in terms of bitcoin and cryptocurrency users in the city where I live. Because I see data on the increase in the number of cryptocurrency users in my country.

There are several factors that make crypto or Bitcoin known and used by the majority of rural residents.
1. Bitcoin/Crypto is advertised on private TV operating in that country.
2. Bitcoin/Crypto is the main advertisement that appears on YouTube and it is easy to get information from Google and YouTube.
3. Local newspapers often talk about Bitcoin and so on.

So Bitcoin and Crypto are known to rural communities, perhaps this has happened almost all over the world, including my country, I have also visited one of the remote villages, I once saw in a coffee shop two or three young men opening a local exchange site, but I didn't ask them anything, I just looked.
On the other hand, I feel happy and proud to see this, in my mind I think Bitcoin is not only used by city people, remote villages also know it well, so what OP sees is not much different from what I see about Bitcoin /Crypto, rural alreadyknow well.

What's more, today is the age of technology and the internet, everything is easily accessible, plus the internet signal shows full strength in rural areas and on high connecting tower facilities.

But there is something worrying about those people, because they are quite simple farmers, their knowledge is not as complete as people in urban areas or other developed areas. Therefore, it is inevitable that they will be easily enticed to participate in fraudulent projects labeled bitcoin. In my country, many such cases happened, and then most of the elders as well as farmers had a negative view of bitcoin. The growing popularity of Bitcoin is a good thing, but with the spread but lack of education, knowledge becomes a concern rather than a positive.

Well I think it's not unusual to see crypto recognition and acceptance online since it's easier to spread news and info nowadays, thanks to the internet. I wouldn't be surprised to see my online friends started getting into crypto but seeing things in real life is more unusual and would be more fascinating. Compare to seeing bitcoin adoption online and in real life, you would feel the growth more if you see random people having Bitcoin or crypto merch unexpectedly, or seeing events that involves some crypto projects. In your place op, it seems that Bitcoin is getting more recognition so that's a great news.
Here in my country, I am aware that crypto and bitcoin is growing and more people are getting interested in it. But it's more fascinating seeing people irl who's also interested in Bitcoin like me.

Cryptocurrency with its growth in the short time period have spread all around the world. Even the spreading haven't happened through any sort of promotion or through television advertisement, everything had taken place through word of mouth spreading. In such a situation it had overcome various hurdles and now the acceptance level also increased. Countries that were against the usage of bitcoin were slowly getting into regulated use of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. With time the gradual growth is happening around. In my locality none were aware of it, and many scammers have started to promote self made tokens and make money. I need to give some education and stop people from getting scammed.

TV, YouTube channels or other social media platforms and newspapers are the factors that make the majority of people aware of bitcoin and various cryptocurrencies.
These three types of media are what make the majority of people familiar with bitcoin and various cryptocurrencies. I think the media that spreads information the fastest is not TV, but YouTube channels and social media platforms such as Tiktok and Facebook.

Nearly 90% of internet access can be reached in every area, including remote areas.
Of course, this is good progress because slowly people are getting to know bitcoin and can assess the usefulness of bitcoin.
