341  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / I Made Some Bitcoin WhatsApp stickers on: February 04, 2020, 11:16:02 PM
Majority of us use WhatsApp as a means of communication. But then, if we want to promote bitcoin, we could do that with stickers.... Right? WhatsApp (android) is the platform for what I'm about to provide now. Stickers are actually a cool way of expressing ourselves but then, considering the fact that stickers can serve as a means of passing information to others, I decided to create some stickers which can create a huge impact. I'll tell you how by using a few of these stickers as an example.

See the stickers here

The 1st sticker as numbered in the image can be used in a case whereby some one wants to pay you for a service. Using this sticker will definitely make the person as you the question "what is bitcoin?" otherwise, he/she would definitely research it by himself/herself.

The 2nd sticker in the image can be used in a situation whereby you want to purchase something from someone. Even tho you have enough money to pay, you can use the sticker to make the person wonder what a bitcoin address is. The same questions for the 1st sticker or something similar should pop up too.

The 4th sticker in the image can be used in a case whereby someone asks you for you bank account number. But instead of giving it, you send the sticker. If he/she doesn't know about bitcoin, they question would pop up and then, the ball would fall on your court.

There are tons of cases in which you can use these stickers. I just felt like giving a few instances. To get the stickers, kindly download the pack here
Then  install this app so you can connect the downloaded pack to your WhatsApp. The app is only 45mb.
Open the download from your device file manager using the installed app. Once it's loaded, click on the "add to my library" option. Then finally click on "add to WhatsApp" and you've gotten them. If you have issues getting the stickers, you can still ask for my help; I will help you.

Use them in a smart way (not in a manner that'll be disturbing). If you have more stickers idea, you can either suggest or create them yourself (for WhatsApp or other platforms).
Please do not think that because one person doesn't have interest, the others won't have interest too. No! We are all different people with different minds. Give it a try to as much people as you can. Thank you.

Creating videos to promote bitcoin is not enough to spread awareness the best promotion is still the word of mouth for me. Even though it is a organic marketing approach, it still effective nowadays because there are people who always getting curious in many things. I also promote bitcoin specially in retailers, whenever there are small retailers in my community; I always telling the manager that they should accept and adopt bitcoin as mode of payment.

The word of mouth type of promotion isn't enough either. The point is that we should do all that we can. Videos, stickers, discussion, and even a mere statement all contribute in their various ways. If you believe it's better to talk to people, then do it.

You just trying to promote a video and not Bitcoin. And moreover, no one said seminars are the only way to promote Bitcoin, there are already lots of articles about Bitcoin that you can find online and I believe those are enough.

When I started making use of Bitcoin I didn’t watch a random video or article, I went to the direct source which is the Bitcoin organization website and I read everything about Bitcoin there. People already come across lots of contents that are related cryptocurrency and it’s a matter of interest, it’s likely that anyone that come across your video might already know about it and wouldn’t take interest in this type of video.

Now this is the kind of comments that make me back down. I can't imagine what you are actually thinking. I am promoting bitcoin through a video!

SHM..... I really don't get your point

it’s likely that anyone that come across your video "might" already know about it and wouldn’t take interest in this type of video.

Firstly, you should understand that you said "might". Secondly, this is no where close to a reason not to promote bitcoin through this means. I had to do some analyzing to know the target audience and what they know, don't know, and what they think. So, this video as I believe does not only motivate other to promote bitcoin through various means but also tells newbies a superficial facet of bitcoin.

I really like your video, If someone would definitely watch it they will surely have an idea and will have some little interest with Bitcoin, that is why I will share it to some of my classmates, and yes as the technology is now advance with just one click you can share it into group chats on Facebook although Facebook is not allowing any means of cryptocurrency advertisement I think this video from youtube will surely make its way to some audience, because of your efforts in making this video I will give you something in return.

I'm glad you find it as interesting as I do! About sharing on facebook, I think it should be possible because I sent the link to the video to my cousin who I want to teach about bitcoin (sent it through facebook). In fact, I've been seeing people who do facebook bounty for projects share cryptocurrency related posts (severally).
Thanks!

Awesome animation, Epic Chris! Not bad. I'm not familiar with how much effort it took to create that 5-minute video, I know it took quite some time for that, just like you mentioned. Let me comment on your video, if it's okay, I hope you take these comments of mine as constructive.

  • The seminar looks like an AA meeting or something. I usually see it as a classroom-type when you talk about a seminar.
  • The reactions of newbies into Bitcoin are real, like the shock that it showed in the video, it's cool.
  • The basics of Bitcoin were tackled and easy to underestand
  • The subtitles are changing with Bitcoin and bit-coin and it caught my attention
  • Overall, it's a creative way to understand Bitcoin.

I'm just not sure if someone would easily be invited when you just met that person, or maybe it's different in different cultures?

I know that I share the knowledge about Bitcoin when someone asks me to and somehow it gets into the conversation about currencies or money in general. That's my take in sharing or promoting it. Some people are aware and just like the girl in your video, they took it as scams, which is not correct.

I'm glad you liked it! About the bitcoin and bit-coin issue, I did it on purpose because at some instances, they tend to mispronounce bitcoin as something else so I had to spilt the bit and coin in order to get a more smooth pronunciation..... After all, the person watching will still get the message at the end of the day. 😉

Your youtube video has 11 views,0 likes and 0 comments.I assume that all the views came from the link you posted in your Bitcointalk thread.Try to SEO optimize your video title,description and tags.You can use tools like VidIQ and Tubebuddy,they are free Chrome and Firefox extentions that will help you with search engine optimization.Bitcoin promotion will work if you do it the right way and if you promote BTC to people who don't know much about it.Posting Youtube video links on Bitcointalk doesn't work. Grin

Posting the link here wasn't because I want to forum members to learn about bitcoin. I brought it here to prove a point which I believe you didn't see that in the post subject and the the first few lines of the post. Please understand.

    Indeed, promoting bitcoin through seminars and meet ups do really work, but the fact that it is not the only way to promote bitcoin as not all people that is inclined with cryptocurrency has the power of words to convince others, through that, we could enter various means of promoting bitcoin. By the way, I really appreciate the video animation you've created, that is one of the ways we could induce market adoption to people.

    I just want to share some of the ideas I've learned from others and some ideas that I have regarding bitcoin promotion.

    Here are some:

    • Bitcoin could be promoted if we ask - It is not always that people should take the initiative to be concerned about bitcoin, most of the time, they need a mediator that will open up their mind to the concept of bitcoin. I've tried one thing which is to sell prepaid mobile load and offer discount when they pay me in bitcoins. In addition, if we are on the shoes of the customer, we could take initiative to ask if the particular store where we buy things offers bitcoin as payment method (Thanks to the creator of that topic)



    • Wear something that shows bitcoin - Even text, or logo of bitcoin as long as people could see it everywhere, they will surely be curious of what that is whenever there comes a time that they encounter it. Thus, making them research information about bitcoin and probably use it.



    • Keep Sharing it - I use social media platforms and even if I am not personally talking to a person about bitcoin and cryptocurrency, I usually post contents about market graphs (Most of the time, when bitcoin is bullish and I show them I am happy). In this way, they might be fascinated when they could see up trend bitcoin projection and think about if I am earning allot, the tendency is they will ask, that is the time I take advantage to share some insights about trading and investment.



    • Help someone in need through Bitcoin - We have encountered that some of our friends are in need so they tend to borrow money, I am not saying we should take advantage of that, but to consider lending money will help them, and it might be better if we lend them through bitcoin regardless if they convert it to fiat, telling them that, bitcoin is the only thing that you have, so there's no choice for them to decline, plus, if that person will repay their debt, ask them to pay it in bitcoin as well.



    That are just some of the ways how I help bitcoin to be promoted, thus, with simple means and daily transactions, there are endless possible options that we could take. It doesn't really necessary that we conduct seminars or meetings, but by just living our day with bitcoin will then make it more valuable.[/list]

    Thanks a lot for this contribution. I've done all you've mentioned except the 4th. One of them which I love doing is wearing a bitcoin shirt. In fact, I'll be wearing my branded BTCitcoin polo today!

    Many of us here think that promoting bitcoin must involve holding seminars, meet ups, or conversing to people. However, that's not true. In most cases, we should understand that we can promote bitcoin in many ways. It could be by creating memes, stickers (I've seen some cool WhatsApp stickers), etc. You just don't know who would come across it!

    Lately, I made an animated video in which the character talked about bitcoin, it's uses, advantages and disadvantages. Tho it wasn't easy making it (it took days), I believe it's worth it.
    Here's a link to the video: https://youtu.be/LwwOVcFPWKI


    If you share the video, it'll get to more people and that's a form of spreading the right info about bitcoin.
    So it could get to other people and bring a lot to understand bitcoin better.

    In my country bitcoin name has been damage by this Ponzi scam website, ICO's scam, and a lot of other scams and they use bitcoin as a payment method. That is why if they heard of bitcoin some say it is a scam but they didn't get it as you say it is just like a dollar a digital money, a digital currency. Ignorance is dangerous. As an individual, I encourage my friends to watch some videos about bitcoins. For sure a time will come that everyone will be aware of cryptocurrency I am waiting for china and japan tokenizing their own national currency I think they are already planning and developing it.

    There is only three important timezone here to consider if you want to catch the majority of user online. Check the night time of EU, US and Asia. There is no exact time here that 2/3 of user here is online unless there is an event going on so better to target the 3 key time for that time zones.


    Thanks a lot! This is very helpful.
    351  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: A clue on how to make them see that bitcoin isn't a scam on: February 02, 2020, 01:23:32 PM


    Majority of the common people don't see bitcoin as a scam. I am saying this from my personal experience because I have spoken to a number of people regarding bitcoin. Definitely the outlook varies from places to places, but I have seen people consider it as illegal in my country, rather than a scam. This situation is very difficult to change because of its legal status in many countries!

    In majority of the countries, bitcoin doesn't have a legal status! It is either banned from government or banned from banking channel. Which certainly creates a misconception about bitcoin in the minds of the people. We all need to fight against that misconception firstly to make people understand about bitcoin.

    Honestly, I haven't heard someone around me say it's a scam. I keep hearing it from forum members so I had to find a way such mindset can be changed.

    Regarding bitcoin being legal, I understand this and I know this is one of the big things to be tackled but then, in some countries where Christianity isn't accepted, there are still Christians there, and they do their prayers (even tho in secret). Or, we could just focus on those who's country doesn't label it scam. Before we're done with them, the other countries must have bent down and reconsider their decision.
    352  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: A clue on how to make them see that bitcoin isn't a scam on: February 02, 2020, 01:17:35 PM
    That is, if they will give you that enough time.
    Most of them will ignore you from the start.
    How are you going to start the conversation? What if they asked, "Where is this going?" at the very start of it.
    It is easy to be polite to people and explain it with patience. But do they have the same kind of patience?
    After the explanation of everything, if it goes smoothly. What is the next step?

    These are thoughful questions and thanks for asking them.
    I believe that people give more listening ears when what they are hearing isn't something common. And if he/she asks where the conversation is going to, you can simply tell the person that it's for their own good. About a week ago or so, I held a bitcoin meeting and before they could speak, I clearly told them that we have absolutely nothing to gain. With this, they knew that we came to help them.

    Know, if it goes smoothly, the next step shouldn't be installing a bitcoin wallet for them. Nah! After they've heard the advantages and all, proceed on telling them how bitcoin works. There's a huge difference between the advantages of a plane and how a plane works. So, until they have understood how it works, then they could either open a wallet (by themselves out of the knowledge they've gotten both from you and their researches) or you could help them with that.
    353  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: A clue on how to make them see that bitcoin isn't a scam on: February 02, 2020, 01:05:00 PM
    I do not think this is the case for some people to get scared about bitcoin. For them money means to have a central authority, a bank to issue and anything that does not have this authority and institution then it's not money.
    If that is what they think, then tell them that they themselves are authorities. They should have more power over their money than the bank. After all, it's theirs!

    Quote
    They are just brain washed and soon they will realized that they have been tricked by people in the power and move to crypto which is decentralized.
    Waiting for them to realise delays the adoption of bitcoin. I believe it's best to tell them otherwise, they may not stop transactions with the bank because the bank has always been their normal way.

    I wanted to make a post here on the bitcoin forum, but then, I'm confused about when the best time is. I mean, how can one know the time at which users of the bitcointalk forum login most. I don't know if it's possible in any way but it's important tho.

    I am not sure why is this so important. I can guess that it would be important for the ones who want to sell something or influence (FUD?).
    But this is a discussions forum. So if you ask or say something and it's not answered /discussed quick, you'll bump it or even improve the question / topic.

    Thanks for you contribution. I don't have anything to sell. But I want to know the time at which users of the forum login most. Also, even tho there's a bump button for topics, I think that the bump option isn't available for all topics.

    I did some analysis and have come to understand that majority of us are afraid to tell people about bitcoin because people see it as a scam and maybe, it could implicate us. But then, I think I know a good way you can convince them that bitcoin isn't scam.

    You could simply bring out a dollar (or any fiat you have in your pocket) then ask him/her what that is. For sure, 'money' will be the answer. Then ask him this simple question; "if someone happens to scam you and take all your dollars, does it mean that dollar is a scam?"
    Or, you could rephrase the last line to; "does it mean that dollar was made for scamming people?"

    Try to be very polite when asking such questions. Try to make them understand that everything that has a use has a misuse too. Be descriptive!
    They need to understand that bitcoin is simply a currency like Dollar, Euro, Cedis, etc. (except for the fact it is a digital currency).

    I believe that was helpful.

    I am very impressed with the GOLD.Storage project, I am still faithfully following the Gold signature from the first Gold storage there until now.
    But I have a question that you need to answer.
    This is about the Roadmap owned by GOLD.Storage, is the development of the project in accordance with the Roadmap created?
    At present Gold.Storage has entered the Q1 2020 Roadmap which has 3 objectives to be achieved.
    I am happy to ask this, so I know the latest developments about Gold.Stoarge. Thank you


    Regards:
    taufik123


    Dear taufik123,

    Thanks for the question. The picture of the roadmap is uploaded on hundreds of different resources now and we cannot change it. Digital Gold is actively developing. As in any IT project, the attention of the team is shifting to new tasks, which may be more important for rapid development. The fast growth of GOLD tokens trading volume and the service indicates that everything is done correctly.


    Regards,
    Support Team @ Digital Gold

    Good day! Kindly see and reply PM.
    359  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is it wrong to monetize a bitcoin/cryptocurrency seminar/meeting? on: January 30, 2020, 08:23:26 PM

    I think that it's fine to monetize any meeting, Bitcoin included. If you are wealthy, and you're doing it like volunteering, surely you would not collect money. But if you are a person who wants to do something good but also kind of needs money, it's fine. In that case, you have various options:
    1. Set a fixed entrance fee.
    2. Set a 'pay what you wish' fee.
    3. Find a sponsor of the event, so that you get paid but participants don't need to pay.

    I am not wealthy 😕. I'm just a youth who is struggling. Hence, it should at least earn me some cents (lol).

    3. Find a sponsor of the event, so that you get paid but participants don't need to pay.
    This isn't any easy. I wish there was a sponsor (so those attending don't have to pay).

    I even intend to hold another meeting but if I can't find a way afford it, I'll have to back off.
