What is your Bitcoin pitch?

Curve ball ..     

Triff ..

I'm just introduce bitcoin to my classmate, and i get 3 friends who interested with bitcoin, especially if i show bitcoin price to them, tell to them how easy to transaction(no need verify) and low fee!

Simple & pretty awesome design ! I like the idea also and found it very helpful , good luck on the project mate
you may wanna change the .ca domain to something more professional tho

Like the idea. Best of luck!

Good initiative! It is like Bitcoin reference website, specially it is useful for new comers.

Nice one. Might like to include a cloud mining category.

We didn't decrease any prices so far and not in future too. you can see the date of this thread.

as i said before anyone can sell our domains in their own prices. our resellers can sell this domain for their own prices (NOT LIMITED)

we are conducting direct sale here with our price.

This auction in closed now and will open new thread with new increased price.

TO you and all on this forum happy holidays enjoy the time with family and friends. May the holidays bring everyone good stuff with good food and good drinks   posting this now as i know alot of people in areas where almost xmas

I try to convince the open-minded people I know, but it's really not easy at all. As someone said before, lead by example. The thing is, BTC is still growing, apart from all the good qualities you can tell people about BTC, in reality there aren't many benefits to using them, you just gotta believe in it.

A few of my friends thought this was a good idea because of the technology behind it and came to this forum. Most people I talk to about BTC get tired of BTC because the process is "too hard" or it's "too much trouble"  it's understandable. It takes time for people to get convinced and jump into BTC. Most news about BTC are discouraging and make people think it's a bad investment or a bad currency.

Hooking someone on one single aspect they might actually use first is a good way of getting them started imho. They can be bombarded with all of the other aspects some time later:p

I tend to tell people about the fast & cheap 'transmission' aspects more than the other sides of BTC: if they want to send someone money rather than buying something from a company.

This is one of the uses that is less impacted by the day to day price volatility i think: buying something with BTC from a retailer does imply that a person has to care about the day to day value as theyre more likely to not spend every penny of their BTC at once (eg. shipping costs altering 'round total' amounts or they might want to buy from a couple of places and take some time to shop around etc - eg. if I want to buy stuff I might put in $15 in my BTC wallet and only spend 12.95 in one place then $2 in the next place a few days later).

When people send money to someone they know its usually to send every penny they put into the system - so they just do a single purpose transaction (ie if I want to send my buddy $10 Im not going to buy $15 of BTC or put $15 in my paypal/WUnion etc). So theres less concern about day to day value of BTC.
Once they get used to using it for that purpose, they are more inclined to start using it for purchases and tips/donations and 'topping up' their BTC accounts for increasing number of uses.

Anyway, the way I do it is to figure out which aspect of BTC appeals to the person Im talking to at the time and just mention that side only to them first. One bread crumb at a time to lead them along.

another vote for circle - took much less BS than most exchanges

This is unfortunately how most people react to Bitcoin, otherwise they don't care.
People in general are too dumb to care and they will not start using it unless it becomes a trendy thing among the celebs or something. If no celebs used twitter no one would use twitter.

Off topic? Sorry I do believe notifying potential customers that within 48 hours there has been over a 60% price decrease is hardly off topic of the final sale price. It's the exact same thing, and purchasers should be aware of the price gouging that is happening..  Thanks for being polite, but I will call out bullshit as I see it.

Thanks for notifying us.

we are working with many domain markets / brokers, so they can sell whatever their prices, so far we are asking 1BTC to start this auction. our prices will be increase soon.

anyone can re-sell our domains at more than our price. Skillful marketers using this opportunity to earn without any investment ( 0% ).

Feel free to PM me for further discussion and please do not post off-topic in sales thread. if you want to share your opinion / ideas, feel free to open new thread in off-topic section.

 

I've only successfully taught three friends (out of dozens I've talked to) how to set up the client, wait for it to sync and actually receive / send btc to an address. Of those three only one has used it beyond the training session and I don't think he uses it anymore because he told me he thought it was too much trouble. I was able to "pitch" it to them and have them try it because they were trying to be nice and it cost them nothing. I sent them some coin to play with.

I don't think Bitcoin is one of those things you can promote like a new car or great vacation you went on. It's something people will be interested in and use or completely disregard without wanting to know more. Bitcoin just needs time and a chance to grow organically.

"Don't overdo it" is a good advise. tell them a little piece week by week or month by month. and it must be easy. dont talk about the blockchain, the "public ledger"   or Cryptography because nobody will listen to that at first time.

"Bitcoin is money for the internet", "when you hate banks, use friendly Bitcoin", "save money by using BTC"


and whats best: sent them some bits (1 Dollar or so)

I don't pitch it to anyone, in fact I don't talk about Bitcoin in my day to day life at all, just like other people don't talk to me about their fiat currency...

circle is still a very new company. Although they are backed by VC (and have a reason to operate in a trustworthy manner) they have still not proven themselves within the community, at least IMO

I believe anybody with time can be that.
