Bitcoin Forum

According to the image you see above, these young people told me that they got interested because it was their parents who encouraged them to come for me to teach them about what I was doing with bitcoins and their parents said that even though I am not employed or unemployed, I can still pay my monthly billings, rental house, internet bill, electricity, and water bill within 6 years. And the rest of them are already 27yrs old, 22, 18, and 17 years old.

Well, first of all, I would like to thank you ;). I have heard an old proverb that says:
"Anyone who teaches me something, he's like my father, and I have to respect him."

I see that most of your friends are young and that's great. Young people always have newer and better ideas. Who knows, maybe one of these guys will be influential in the future.
But I have a suggestion for you. One of my teachers said:
The best way to learn is "learning through videos."

If you have meetings in the future, you can use many videos from YouTube. Anyway, I'm glad to see you've invited people into the crypto family.

Teaching people about bitcoin is great, but i will not let people into my home for that purpose, that is too risky for a bitcoin user like me, even if they are neighbors, i may just be exposing myself to attacks in the future, people think every bitcoin user is rich you know. ::) A change of venue may be necessary, a group on any social media app may be even better, anything to maintain your privacy and anonymity and to protect yourself. You get an idea of what i am saying from this snippet from your post

Now on that snippet, i do not know how you manage to do all that without a job, you probably get bitcoin for providing a service, there is something many do not understand, bitcoin is money, just like £ for example, you have to do something to get it, it can't help you pay your bills without working for it, it is not bitcoin of itself that pays your bills, it is your skill you give out. You'd have to work or give out a service and be paid in bitcoin, then use bitcoin to pay your bills, so as people understand bitcoin, they should also develop a skill they can give out and be paid in the coin, or they have to work, and use their salaries to buy it (note that buying that way is for speculation and not spending), it is a crucial information, so people avoid building castles in the air with the thought that knowing bitcoin without working will be a panacea to poverty.

One of my teachers said:
The best way to learn is "learning through videos."

It is not true. Depends on what you teach, what others want to learn.

With videos, if you want to find a point, you must know when it is in that video. If you don't remember, don't note it previously, you will have to spend more time than you are ready to spend, to watch most of the video in order to find the point you want to learn.

With books, power points, you can find what you want more quickly.

I prefer to read books than watch videos. Videos are helpful if you want to practice something. Watch a practical video after you already read books.

A tip is to get them to stop thinking of Bitcoin as a short-term investment or a quick way to get rich.

If you have any suggestions on how that's possible, feel free to share.  All of my friends that jumped on the gravy train for the 2021 run are already out of crypto now.  They all bought shitcoins trying to get rich, and now think crypto is a scam.  Some of the survivors from the 2017 bubble that I know have started coming around to a Bitcoin only theme.  I have found that no matter what I say though, no new entrants want to buy Bitcoin.  They struggle to find a use case for themselves and don't want to just buy and hope to sell for more later, because the greater fool theory isn't value...  I wish Bitcoin had the "killer app" instead of a promise the price will rise while telling you not to spend it.

Teaching people about bitcoin is great, but i will not let people into my home for that purpose, that is too risky for a bitcoin user like me, even if they are neighbors, i may just be exposing myself to attacks in the future, people think every bitcoin user is rich you know. ::) A change of venue may be necessary, a group on any social media app may be even better, anything to maintain your privacy and anonymity and to protect yourself.

It's a good thing you teach your neighbors about bitcoin, but I think that after you teach your neighbors about the technical part of bitcoin, which by the way is a part that they will need to dedicate themselves to learn, you will also have the hard task from teaching them the important rules about investing in bitcoin, I think things like: 'just buy and make Hoodl' can end up with your neighbors not liking you if they buy bitcoin and then the price drops a lot. when explaining about rules for investing in bitcoin you will have to talk to them about some technical analysis things, because your neighbors will need to be aware of market entry points (purchase points) even if it is to make hodl they will need to have this knowledge

there are so many programs to improve the community's economy, such as what you do, by giving lessons about bitcoin to those who don't know about bitcoin like your neighbors. I think what you are doing is a good activity. and I also always tell my brothers and neighbors who don't know about bitcoin. and my goal in telling them about bitcoin is to improve their economy for the better.

But I have a suggestion for you. One of my teachers said:

what I was doing with bitcoins and their parents said that even though I am not employed or unemployed, I can still pay my monthly billings, rental house, internet bill, electricity, and water bill within 6 years.

The beauty of it is that before the end of our bitcoin session, the five of them agreed that every twice a month there will be a small home party session here at my house.

So my only request to the other members here in this forum is to teach me what can be taught to them that I may not know at the moment, although I am not an expert here but only basic thing about bitcoin that I share with my acquaintances here in the community I'm in. So you are free to provide additional knowledge on this matter and I am willing to accept it because I am also one of those who are still learning about bitcoin.

I also recommended it to my college friends many years ago, saying that it would really be one of those things that people look for and treat as a profitable investment. But maybe many things are still too vague for many people. When they are not ready to get close to them, some newcomers show up at the bearish phase and they say it's not good :) . However, in one aspect that has been through so many different cycles, I don't want to share more because it's clear that if you can't see the good in them and they give an immediate investment, then it's hard to be attractive to new people.

And the funny thing here is that they are all young people, and currently studying, they showed interest in what I am doing with bitcoin, what it really is. These are just some of the pictures that I will show you that I myself was really happy with them that's why I didn't regret to give them time and even it was conducted in my house in this regard.

Thank you very much for taking the time to read this topic I made, and I will continue to give you updates on my next teaching to these young people. God bless you all :)

As far as I know, nothing. It's like attempting to create the world's shortest program that does a specific function - they are mind games for computer scientists, but that's about it.

Whether Bitcoin can be used to pay the bills depends on the country because it's certainly impossible in mine. Is it really possible in yours?

Also, have these people consented to the photos being published? If so, it's great, but otherwise it's a violation of their privacy and the faces, at least, should be blurred.

I think it depends on what you're planning to teach? If it was Bitcoin in general then simple history and use cases should be more than enough as a topic for discussion, maybe even some of the technical stuff if you know about them (or you can study them together with your neighbors).

Aside from teaching them about Bitcoin, maybe you can also let them know and register here in Bitcointalk in that way, they can read interested and goods topics about Bitcoin from history to future development of Bitcoin here in this forum. 😊

You should tell them how you earn with bitcoin and make them aware about what you've been doing for 6 years is not that simple. The only reason why those parents agreed to teach their kids is they think that you can easily earn from it since you are doing it at the comfort of your home. They should be aware that bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are not a get rich-quick scheme like how some of the investment schemes portray it.

I strongly agree to it because being involved in a crypto world needs a long time or run for experience and a year isn't enough to full understand. The market seems to be the very subject of it and it requires a lot of patience and understanding. If a person really wants to learn he or she will make extra time to get information.

That's very good to see people start teaching bitcoin and cryptocurrencies to other people in different places and situations, just a few weeks ago I saw another pson post a topic and said he began teaching about bitcoin and cryptocurrencies to high school students, and many people, the most crucial part whenever you are teaching bitcoin or any new technology other people is the demand by them to learn because if they are interested in learning new technologies you won't have a hard way ahead to teach them especially if they have some basic knowledge about it, that's my personal experience about teaching bitcoin to other people.

Whether Bitcoin can be used to pay the bills depends on the country because it's certainly impossible in mine. Is it really possible in yours?
Also, I think trading is a job, not a business (an exchange website is a business, managing funds of others is a business). Other things on the board seem right.
It's cool that parents are encouraging their young adults to learn about Bitcoin, I'm quite surprised about that.
I think it's important to teach these people about the safety of holding Bitcoins (importance of using a non-custodial wallet) and of keeping the keys safe but also somewhere one won't forget to look.
Also, have these people consented to the photos being published? If so, it's great, but otherwise it's a violation of their privacy and the faces, at least, should be blurred.

You're brave to do this because not everyone could have the courage to do crypto lessons in his neighborhood because of the fear of rejection. Maybe it's also an advantage that the people in your location have a huge interest in Bitcoin. I've done the same thing to some of my relatives but they're afraid to take the risk. Bitcoin investment is only for those who are willing to take face the risks of its volatility. Those who can't deal with the possibility of loss due to Bitcoin's volatility can't make a profit in the future.

I have read here that some do not agree that the motivation for learning bitcoin from young people will be to make a profit. And what's wrong with that?

I also done something like that before but only few of them are really interested in crypto.
Some of them just like to listen or hang out some of them did invest and earn from it, and I am happy that somehow I manage to help them.

Many forum users have begun to educate the people around them about bitcoin in a passionate way. This is much-needed for the growth and for people to have proper understanding about bitcoin. People without proper knowledge used to fall for scams, now what they learn will let the understand what is bitcoin and how the value fluctuates. Good learning lets them go for right market decision than making random decisions.

I will like to throw more light on this your definition of Bitcoin because It lacks the crucial ingredients through which Bitcoin stand for.. Because I would have think instead of defining  "Bitcoin as a digital currency launched in 2009 used as a peer 2 peer to facilitate instant payment".. it would have been better you had defined it this way "Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency launched in the year 2009 by Satoshi Nakamoto, that is independent on its own, not control by either the central bank or government, and can be used to transfer money from one person to another in seconds"..

It took quite a few weeks before I was able to give you updates, and finally some of my neighbors who told me and showed interest in what Bitcoin is all about and how it can help them, they agreed to arrange their schedule so that I could teach them and here it is and it happened and it was held in my own little home.

That's fine but I think the basics are on YouTube and in some books like The Bitcoin Standard, Mastering Bitcoin, if these books and resources are available in your local language it will be easy for them to learn if they have some time.

If people will only see bitcoin as a get-rich-quick scheme, they will never come to understand bitcoin the right way. You should consider explain it to your neighbors OP as i believe their mothers have influenced them to approach you because they think bitcoin can get them rich quickly. And explain to them that bitcoin is only good to be used as a payment system as long as its not prohibited in your country. Otherwise, they should only consider bitcoin today as more of a long term investment.

Maybe you need to have a comfortable place to be used in teaching. Having a good ambient will have a huge impact and help absurd the discussion as this was not just an easy topic, but more on technical matters. But never mind, I know this was just the first day of your discussion and it can be changed once the number of your listeners will increase.

Well, what is very important is that we know there are some people who have an interest and are willing to spend their time to know more about Bitcoin. We never know if you become the reason why their lives had changed and lead them on the way to reach their goal.

That might be his way of defining. Whenever we talk about bitcoin, the ultimate thing that gets into discussion will be the money making. Maybe to make his neighbours get interested towards bitcoin, he might've started to define it in such a way followed by the payment features. Through this thread he'll get more suggestions which could help him improve the teaching method.

I agree with you. Many people prefer books and magazines, and it makes learning easier for them. But the human brain has a better understanding of images and video content.
That's why Metaverse creating an environment for medical students to see and repeat all surgeries in the Metaverse world.

Hello everyone here in this forum, If you remember I made a topic here about the plan to teach Bitcoin in my Subdivision area. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5404886.0

https://i.ibb.co/GcPzxTG/Screenshot-66.png (https://ibb.co/ZWTqLmv)

So my only request to the other members here in this forum is to teach me what can be taught to them that I may not know at the moment, although I am not an expert here but only basic thing about bitcoin that I share with my acquaintances here in the community I'm in. So you are free to provide additional knowledge on this matter and I am willing to accept it because I am also one of those who are still learning about bitcoin.

Thank you very much for taking the time to read this topic I made, and I will continue to give you updates on my next teaching to these young people. God bless you all :)

you are very extraordinary, before did you provide an explanation of the risks that will be obtained when dealing with bitcoin?
if people are given a good one, they will definitely be interested in bitcoin, but if we give them a favorable explanation, proceed to the risk that your neighbors or relatives will think twice about this

because I've tried it, when the value of my assets dropped to the price like today

Were they able to jot things down? Regarding their sitting position. However, you are doing a great job, get them to create their first wallet then start putting Bitcoin into it bit by bit, since they are young people their parents can fund it. Are you teaching them free of charge? If so it's ok, but paying for the session with you in your little home will enable them take the whole process more serious. From time to time they will be able to understand how the blockchain network works.

OP, honestly I salute your courage to teach Bitcoin to your neighbours. I don't find it convenient a thing to do with those around me for privacy sake. I can teach people online or get a neutral place (I can go to their homes to teach it if invited and I've the urge to go) but I find it a big risk inviting people to my home for that. We are at a time in a world that calls for safety and precaution. I hope you've your safety antenna on, anyway.

the umpteenth time you and your other friends are so impressive. I think your concern for the environment to educate them about bitcoin is very impressive. Indeed, there is no recommendation and maybe your environmental pressure and branding on social media might make them interested.
you have to be patient when maybe money management and psychology they are not used to the price fluctuations. I think you know enough about it. Your kindness and dedication are very good. I hope you are consistent and always enthusiastic about the programs you start, the spirit of educating other cryptocurrencies that you know

You also should congratulate those neighbors because of their curiosity, OP had the courage and confidence to try and teach them about bitcoin, if I assume that they're from Philippines, I am pretty sure that it's difficult for someone to ask someone regarding money stuff especially if there's earning involved. To OP, more power to you and hopefully these students of yours will continue what you did and teach them to other people.

Having time to educate others in our own environment is a very good thing. Because not everyone has this ability at this time, especially educating people for the purpose of making money and work through cryptocurrency, it is clearly very good and cannot be denied. But as for the problem of consistency, I think it also really depends on the attitude and the person being educated, if for example their response can be very good, then the consistency of the educator will also exist.

That's fine but I think the basics are on YouTube and in some books like The Bitcoin Standard, Mastering Bitcoin, if these books and resources are available in your local language it will be easy for them to learn if they have some time.

Yes, social awareness or educating about the use of Bitcoin is very important. Those who have good knowledge about this subject can teach others. As we know Bitcoin is officially banned in almost all countries so no official educational support on it won't be available at the moment. Therefore, it is important to emphasize on increasing the social awareness for its development.

Yes it would have saved the OP’s time, if he could have used the YouTube videos to make them understand about the basics.
Also in YouTube through pictorial representation , they would have learned the basics more quickly.
Moreover I also saw the information that you have written on the whiteboard while teaching your neighbors. It seems that you have only taught the one side of the Bitcoins, which is how it’s used to do economical transactions. You forget the main ideology of Bitcoins, that to remain anonymous and use money with complete control over it.
Nevertheless it’s great to see that you are educating this young mind without any greed in return. Wish you best of luck for your future.

Thank you very much for taking the time to read this topic I made, and I will continue to give you updates on my next teaching to these young people. God bless you all :)

This is good, of course! But my hunch is that the primary motive why the parents are sending their children to you to learn about whatever it is you're doing is that they also want them to earn even if they're unemployed.

This is basically all about making money. And this is something every Bitcoin teacher needs to dispel from those who stumbled upon Bitcoin at some point and developed the impression that it is a way to earn quickly and easily. Because that isn't Bitcoin.

So I take exception to your 5^th point. I guess that's incorrect.

I have a neighbor who is a boy with a girl, they are both a couple and they ask me how the forum is going, lol, I tell them everything because I am an immigrant, in fact recently I had some problems in my local section, and They know all that, they wanted to enter the forum, but they tell me that it scares them because they think that since they don't know much they will treat them badly, but I already helped them get their accounts from Binance and they have already bought their first satoshis, and they see a lot about cointelegraph and the guy wants to trade, he says that makes a lot of money lol.

I also do the same thing as you I also teach others about bitcoin because in my environment many people who do not understand about bitcoin now the people I teach about bitcoin thank me because they have invested in bitcoin and they they have profited.

The good thing is that the person you teach is willing to listen and learn it well so he gives a very good response to you by thanking you for teaching him until he really understands Bitcoin. But will he also be grateful when he doesn't make a profit after investing in Bitcoin? I seem to doubt that he will be grateful when he has lost the little money he invested.

Invest in bitcoin and always make profit without loss, I certainly wouldn't teach bitcoin to anyone.

Don't you think it will be to fast for them to get a bitcoin if they haven't yet know the risk that is involve in bitcoin,  I mean volatility.  I think right now they already know the benefits of bitcoin, it is also important to teach them the volatility of bitcoin,  and how to have patience when bitcoin go dip so that if they experience it they won't feel feel much panic, buying Bitcoin should be the last  aspect and this should be done by their own decision. Their are other important things they need to know to like how to secure wallet from fraudsters.

That's good of you, you have contributed on one way towards the general adoption of bitcoin in your own capacity, trading is always a good thing to do in bitcoin, but I will advise he gather experience in learning about the trading and it's types and strategies befoee he started, he also need to create time in making research, paying attention the learning and instructions especially here on the forum since you've introduce him here and i think bitcoin discussion and wall observer in economics will be a good learning ground for him, then you should never forget to let him know the difference between CEX and Dex in other to remain safe.

Good to see op's work. I can remember, when I come into crypto, there was no one around to help me for better understand it. From this point, present peoples are lucky who are interested in learning about Bitcoin, Crypto. There are many people around them, who are ready to help.

I think this is the best way to provide understanding and introduce bitcoin to your neighbors, especially they look very young whose understanding is very easy to catch the discussion you have talked about Bitcoin. Continue to do so that they truly believe that Bitcoin is very important for the development and excellent insight about Bitcoin and crypto in the future, especially in this era of increasingly sophisticated technology so that they can help you convince everyone in your area to understand Bitcoin and how to use bitcoins.

@Mr. Magkaisa

You are doing a great job. I always like people who teach others about bitcoin and cryptocurrency as a whole.
Although you are doing a great job by initiating this step to teach your neighbors about bitcoin I would say you to go step by step so that they can get to learn it in detail.

For example:
You have to teach them everything session by session. These sessions can consist of different things involved in bitcoin and blockchain.
Your sessions may include the below.

Peer to Peer technology and the decentralized web
Cryptocurrency
Blockchain
Wallets
Making transactions
Block explorers
Different kinds of addresses
Lightning Network
Altcoins
Stable coins
Bitcoin core
Running a full node

These can be explained on a high level. Once all of these are completed you can go much deeper into the technology
Also, while teaching them make sure you include the practicals because showing how it works in practicality will make them understand better.

The idea you present looks good, but it will also take more time for the teacher to use. Because telling about Bitcoin to neighbors also has to prepare some material to be explained to them and also the explanation must be easier to understand so as not to take more time in teaching and introduction.
Because now very few people want to teach for free, especially if the thing being taught is about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency.

many responded that bitcoin was very instant, only selling, buying in one market and lack of info. home even though not everyone accepts and learns it. I'm sure crypto is not far from fomo which makes the crypto teaching and learning process grow even though it's not an official channel or school path. Unfortunately the media is also sometimes balanced by fud by people whose analysis is not yet mature so that beginners should be able to hear the news circulating. I positively agree with the referrals and volunteers who educate patiently.

This is the first step topic that I taught them first, it's really basic and I explained to them slowly and properly in our language, the funny thing is that they came to my house with a small notebook and a ballpen to jot down the important points I will make.

According to the image you see above, these young people told me that they got interested because it was their parents who encouraged them to come for me to teach them about what I was doing with bitcoins and their parents said that even though I am not employed or unemployed, I can still pay my monthly billings, rental house, internet bill, electricity, and water bill within 6 years. And the rest of them are already 27yrs old, 22, 18, and 17 years old. And they are all inspired by what I do. after the first session, they had questions about what I taught them about bitcoin, and they were completely satisfied with the answer they like to hear from me.

The beauty of it is that before the end of our bitcoin session, the five of them agreed that every twice a month there will be a small home party session here at my house. I said no problem and I will give it to them for free. One of the young people even said that he gradually understood bitcoin and plans to make it a secondary payment option in their small sari-sari store here in our subdivision. But for now, he will study for now. That's why the basic usages and benefits was the one I tackled in the first place.

So my only request to the other members here in this forum is to teach me what can be taught to them that I may not know at the moment, although I am not an expert here but only basic thing about bitcoin that I share with my acquaintances here in the community I'm in. So you are free to provide additional knowledge on this matter and I am willing to accept it because I am also one of those who are still learning about bitcoin.

Thank you very much for taking the time to read this topic I made, and I will continue to give you updates on my next teaching to these young people. God bless you all :)

Cryptocurrency is introduced as new currency. It is necessary to know about it because it helps in future. In future we can pay bills through Cryptocurrency and this feature started from last year. Many companies, hotels, shops Accept Cryptocurrency as a cash payment. I have shared BTC information with my neighbors and they are interested in Cryptocurrency. I only gave them hint now they auto search on google and youtube and they are learning about it.

But what about illiterate people who have no trust on digital currency? It is so tough to teach about digital currency. Besides, we have to teach them about the risk of investment also. If we able to teach them both pros and cons of Bitcoin, I think they will be able to adopt with it easily.

Very good job indeed! I never did something so semi-professional but whenever a neighbour or relative asked me about Bitcoin and its price I always try to explain them what blockchain technology is, what are benefits of that technology, how to send or receive money etc. In overall it helps people to change their lives. Many people started asking me how to trade stable coins when there are issues with banking etc. Most people her learned about Binance and Bitcoin through young people like us.

But what about illiterate people who have no trust on digital currency? It is so tough to teach about digital currency. Besides, we have to teach them about the risk of investment also. If we able to teach them both pros and cons of Bitcoin, I think they will be able to adopt with it easily.

Are there still people who haven't heard of bitcoin today? Yes, of course, there may be people who have not heard of it, but it doesn't make much sense to me that people who are interested in trading or investing are not aware of bitcoin. In the country I live in, I can say that everyone knows bitcoin, except for children and the elderly.

Hello everyone here in this forum, If you remember I made a topic here about the plan to teach Bitcoin in my Subdivision area. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5404886.0

It took quite a few weeks before I was able to give you updates, and finally some of my neighbors who told me and showed interest in what Bitcoin is all about and how it can help them, they agreed to arrange their schedule so that I could teach them and here it is and it happened and it was held in my own little home. And the funny thing here is that they are all young people, and currently studying, they showed interest in what I am doing with bitcoin, what it really is. These are just some of the pictures that I will show you that I myself was really happy with them that's why I didn't regret to give them time and even it was conducted in my house in this regard.

This is the first step topic that I taught them first, it's really basic and I explained to them slowly and properly in our language, the funny thing is that they came to my house with a small notebook and a ballpen to jot down the important points I will make.

According to the image you see above, these young people told me that they got interested because it was their parents who encouraged them to come for me to teach them about what I was doing with bitcoins and their parents said that even though I am not employed or unemployed, I can still pay my monthly billings, rental house, internet bill, electricity, and water bill within 6 years. And the rest of them are already 27yrs old, 22, 18, and 17 years old. And they are all inspired by what I do. after the first session, they had questions about what I taught them about bitcoin, and they were completely satisfied with the answer they like to hear from me.

The beauty of it is that before the end of our bitcoin session, the five of them agreed that every twice a month there will be a small home party session here at my house. I said no problem and I will give it to them for free. One of the young people even said that he gradually understood bitcoin and plans to make it a secondary payment option in their small sari-sari store here in our subdivision. But for now, he will study for now. That's why the basic usages and benefits was the one I tackled in the first place.

So my only request to the other members here in this forum is to teach me what can be taught to them that I may not know at the moment, although I am not an expert here but only basic thing about bitcoin that I share with my acquaintances here in the community I'm in. So you are free to provide additional knowledge on this matter and I am willing to accept it because I am also one of those who are still learning about bitcoin.

Thank you very much for taking the time to read this topic I made, and I will continue to give you updates on my next teaching to these young people. God bless you all :)

For illiterate people, they must have a specific study to be free from illiteracy first. When they already deal with the illiteracy problem, then they can learn about Bitcoin investment or trading. While for people who don't believe in digital currency, you don't need to teach them if they have no intention to know Bitcoin or crypto. We only waste time teaching people who don't have the intention to invest or trade in Bitcoin or crypto. Better to teach people who have a desire to know Bitcoin/crypto.

what you are doing is very good teaching the people closest to you, especially if they are unemployed and my heart is also moved to start inviting my friends who are unemployed to invite them to start learning to invest in the crypto world, especially bitcoin, but you also don't forget teach them about crypto (bitcoin) investment risk management so they don't panic when a loss hits them. and don't forget to tell them it's a good and safe platform to invest in.

As much as I think it will be a tough job, I don't think very many people will take on this task if they are not making any profit at all.
That right! For the illiterate people, I don't think we should rush to teach them bitcoin but encourage them to go to school is the most necessary thing. For those who do not believe in cryptocurrencies, it is best not to waste time with them, better to spend that time with people who have a need for bitcoin. We all have a need to increase income, and earn a lot of money, so as long as bitcoin grows, people who invest in bitcoin will give a decent income, and people who do not believe in bitcoin will soon come to us to say that we teach them bitcoin. It's not necessary to rush and waste time. People will eventually need bitcoin.

The neighbour whom OP have taught about bitcoin will share with few more people. This is how things will get widespread and the real value of bitcoin is understood than just advertising on televisions. Not all will be interested in learning, but when we brief them with a proper understanding surely it'll reach their minds with ease, because there is a common mentality among people that bitcoin is something more complex.

I have seen series of threads of this nature where a forum member tries to teach his locals sme basics to cryptocurrency and its very encouraging even though, I might find it to come with some risk of exposure especially within crypto banned territories and that happens to be 90-95% of nations in the world.
It's a noble course yiu guys have taken up, to discern the fud that is been passed around and the notion that cryptos are ponzies or some scam innovation that is used to fraud people. In teaching these forks, you make an ambassador of them all and you'll be sure that one of your student(s) would be a student teacher some day.

I think it would be exciting to share knowledge like this with the people around us. I've also tried to share this with the people around me. however, there are still quite a few who do not really understand or do not accept this development. well, it's great to have some people around us who are as interested in crypto as we are. that way I think it can be easier to teach other people and gather people who have the same goal.

This is also the way I teach my friends but in my case, I was being careful and I was also being serious and honest to them regarding the volatility of the market so that I am not to be blamed when they messed up with their investment. So far so good and the thing is, they are earning more than me right now because they went through some more research than I did. Nevertheless, I'm glad they benefit from what I teach them about bitcoins and I am happier than just leaving them without knowledge of this opportunity.

I think the OP will give them all material related to crypto especially Bitcoin and will also tell them about how to deal with risks when panic comes suddenly when bad changes in the market occur. However, it will be more specific if the teaching uses the internet and several models of devices that can be connected to the internet so that they can more easily receive knowledge from the people who teach them at this time.

Because without the internet or devices that can connect to the internet, it will be difficult for them to understand even though there is a little explanation in writing, but they can only listen and pay attention to whatever the OP explains, but can't run it directly because it is hampered by the absence device in front of them.

As far as he shows us, he is just teaching the most basic things about bitcoin like the concept, benefits and some outstanding features of bitcoin. In this case, it is not necessary to use the internet and the good thing is that they have carefully recorded everything, it is quite manual but in my opinion this will help them remember longer.

Bitcoin is a method that requires internet to use and it will be very difficult if they cannot access or use bitcoin once, it is difficult for them to fully understand bitcoin. Hope OP has prepared those for later lessons.

Majority of the youth knows about bitcoin even if some don't have better knowledge about bitcoin. Where people may not even know any thing about bitcoin may be in a rural area, where people don't fully have access to Internet, they may be hearing about but don't really know  it purposes.

I think by basing it on your name, I assume that you are Filipino? I would like to give my congratulations for you for taking the next step in introducing BTC to your fellow kabayans! I have a question, so how was their reaction? Was the teaching method gave some enlightenment to your students? Were they also attentive and willing to listen on this innovative feature?

I seriously hope that they join this forum as they will also learn at least almost every thing under the sun about cryptocurrencies. While it may be confusing at first, at least they got a head start from your discussion. Congratulations, kabayan!

This is really wholesome! Well done for fighting the good fight and teaching those eager to learn!

Well, first of all, I would like to thank you ;). I have heard an old proverb that says:
"Anyone who teaches me something, he's like my father, and I have to respect him."

I see that most of your friends are young and that's great. Young people always have newer and better ideas. Who knows, maybe one of these guys will be influential in the future.
But I have a suggestion for you. One of my teachers said:
The best way to learn is "learning through videos."

If you have meetings in the future, you can use many videos from YouTube. Anyway, I'm glad to see you've invited people into the crypto family.

I don't think the author is a technical person or a code writer, and most of the teaching is theory and logic. Because what I usually introduce to my friends the most is how to buy? How to store your own digital assets in the wallet? How to store your own assets more securely? How to use a centralized exchange? How to maintain a good attitude, and so on.

If the other party is interested, you can teach them. Don’t teach others about cryptocurrencies if they are not interested. Although your starting point is very good, you can let more people understand Bitcoin and understand the cryptocurrency market. The cryptocurrency market can make you money and it can make you lose money. Be sure to clarify this issue before they enter the cryptocurrency market. Otherwise they will blame you after losing money.

I'm glad that so many friends have joined the crypto world because of your introduction.
But I want to tell them that bitcoin is not going to help them get rich quick, and I hope they won't be disappointed.

What you say is very true, because I have seen a teacher of something who was ultimately blamed when there was a sudden disaster in what he had taught others. And for examples of cryptocurrencies that have been widely circulating in the market, I think it is very suitable to be given an understanding in as much detail as possible so that those who teach them are not blamed in the future.

Because those who want to learn to make money through the cryptocurrency market must be able to take a wise attitude and make the right decisions before they enter the market. Because it's all based on his own heart's desire, not on the basis of coercion from others.

It should be one of the lectures or advice that he will tell to his neighbours as we all know that when we say bitcoin, it is we get rich immediately because of its price, so they should be aware of it, or the lecturer will say about it, I am sure they will know it over the time when they continue their bitcoin journey. I am hoping they will continue learning as that is the stepping stone to start learning bitcoin, and eventually, they can earn profit soon. It could help them financially and also gain some knowledge of it that they can use in the future.

This is why I think it would be better to disclose the risk first before you fill them with the advantages of something. It would be much better for them to be exposed of the danger than to be eaten by the good things on their early stage, because it might make them greedy or create an impression to them that it would be easy earning profit in this industry. We've came across investors who regret engaging to this industry simply because they are not fully aware of the risk. If you are interested into something you should see both good and bad sides before deciding whether to continue or not. To be one sided means you are endagering your wealth as well.
