People must first know bitcoin and not just about its price but it should more on the fundamental technology of bitcoin. Its hard for a country to adopt if their people know nothing about it. Its not illegal but some places are prohibiting exchanges from making any transactions, we Already started the campaign 10years ago and we are still here fighting for the best financial system. Awareness != Knowledge I am sure that 95% of people are aware of the existence of Bitcoin right now, and less than half of that are probably the people that truly knows what Bitcoin is. I've seen some people making their own seminars towards making the awareness as well as knowledge to Bitcoin to people. Banning would be like an instant game end for them, unless people could use VPN or do personal tradings in their area. I am not that surprised if every countries that had cryptos banned would do this anyday.

Can't count signature campaigns "generally" as a way to earn Bitcoin since it is only happening solely in the forums and not outside, although it is one of the way to earn with it although not truly reliable for sustaining if people would look at it as a full-time job. Faucet were like golden back in the days, too bad that it isn't really that reliable earning anymore. It could be a way to start earning a bit of coins for the purpose of making it grow in investments in alts, however I advise that people should lean in trading instead.

Same boat as you, but I already read the thread about the server in MC last 2 weeks, iirc. I don't think it is a good startup for people to adopt Bitcoin though, considering that if I was like the 12 year old me and I encountered that server, I would think that criminals from the dark web had invaded my game already as those were my first thoughts in Bitcoin back in the days. It isn't that hard to learn about Java Programming in making mods in Minecraft, so putting up work in making a basic crypto modifications in-game shouldn't be that hard as well.

That's kinda nice for a gift. Although the Valentine's Day had passed already, this seems like a great idea to share a bit of money to people around you using paper wallets, ey? I guess if rich people would do the same, they would giveaway free Trezors. I kinda want to find a way to give people awareness of Bitcoin currently and it seems like it isn't going so well so far. People are just meh to these kinds of things when it comes to technicality.

.... deceitful advertising ....
....And people would still fall for these airdrops for sure. Especially if the project puts their price already in USD even if the project doesn't end up taking off yet. I've seen this as like a bait for people to not just sell their information to airdrops, but because to their greediness and foolishness into believing such claims in price that aren't even realistic just yet, they tend to even invest like putting everything in their pocket in it.

I would agree, it we all look at the dominance of bitcoin, it is still over 60%.Which indicates that investors/traders are into bitcoin no matter what cycles we have: bearish or bullish.
And we all know that all Altcoins is being paired with BTC, so that's another sign that everybody cares about BTC because it is the lifeblood of the market.
It could even higher than that. It isn't just about the price that many tend to lean at, consider how many payment systems are looking into it right now. It might not be able to "fully replace" every single payment system we got today like PayPal, but it will surely be over than that. I can't say that alts are really paired with BTC fully though, although most of the alts follows the increase in price of Bitcoin.

Recently? I wonder how hard it is to get your Youtube account hacked--I guess it depends on whatever your password is (the obvious answer) and how easy it is to recover it once it is hacked. I wasn't aware that this was becoming a problem, but maybe I've had the naive belief that it would be hard to pull off a hack/scam on Youtube. Makes me wonder if this is at least somewhat in response to Youtube's banning of crypto videos not too long ago. Google is connected with Youtube, right? I guess I should provide additional security to my email there. I am not sure if these hacks are true, but another theory could be the creation of dummy channels while using subscriber, comment, and like bots making it look like a legitimate and true channel of some platform.

I believe that some bounty hunters are just expecting too much from alts. Most altcoins I heard were never meant for a long-term hodling. They were mostly intended to be just for the sake of short-term trading. This is what I was trying to talk about when it comes to finding legitimate bounties. People think that when there is legitimate project means that they would earn plenty, but sometimes a project would be legitimate but in the end it would be just a "crappy" project.
"Legitimate" and "profitability" arent' synonymous words.

I am searching the keyword "btc to usd" quite a lot in Google every day now and then, since the breach of 9k so I think that I am not the only one that searches these kinds of things in it. I don't really care too much about the falls nor reasons for halving as I take every opportunity to invest every now and then. You would expect the same as what happened to the price during the end of 2017 when it reached almost 20k that time. I expect that sometime in the future that Google Search will also get a lot of searches like "Merchants that accepts Bitcoin".

It is just either they're still scared to invest into something that isn't visible at their hands or they're pretty much have given up to themselves to the centralization thinking that the government would give them the maximum protection as a consumer in the market. The question you made is quite a bit of persuading for them to think a bit for a minute and let it sink in.
My first Bitcoin thoughts ever was the same. A scam or an illegal entity specialized to criminals which is true but only happens in the dark web and not here in the surface web. There should be a chance to make them think that way, just how I changed my way of thinking to Bitcoin.

Well in our country, there are apps that would support these donations. In even the greatest disaster, it could also help. Here in our country, where even Taal Volcano erupted and I think they could've done the same as this but the thing is it is way too hard yet to implements such that the trust into it isn't well established as the current financing system we have today.

We got IEOs and it is still has a bit of hypes though so you should probably look into that. I can't say that the hype of it would be gone, but some are speculating that it might disappear soon. Bounties can still make you earn, but the question is how profitable projects are these days. Does an IEO project that would list their coins in a reputated exchange like Binance would guarantee you and other people a lot of profit?

You can see how most promotes their projects in the Bounty section, OP. I don't have any statistics of the effectiveness of bounties like signature campaign, because the scope of it would pretty much be only in this forum. Promotion in social medias like Facebook, Twitter and article/blogging sites like Steemit would give you more audiences and potential investors so focus on that. I am not sure if the ban of crypto-related posts in Facebook is still in effect, so I suggest you keep an eye out of that if you're planning to promote at that platform.

You can't blame the team, as they need the funds for the project to continue and they can't pay in BTC or even in BTC, because of the same said reason. This is why your job as a bounty hunters isn't just establishing yourselves to earn from different projects but also eliminating scams as well as finding the "most" profitable projects out there and not just something that would "surely" give you profits. Those are different things and it is becoming like a misconception to many BHs here.

Money for what? There is no starvation happening in China, but just a spreading of virus there and no money can help with that. It could help for research of vaccine but it is said that it might take within or more than a year before one would be created. I don't think that money could speed the progress of making a cure. (Reference: https://www.businessinsider.com/wuhan-coronavirus-vaccine-could-take-years-timeline-and-cost-2020-2) Important thing for now is to donate mask to the people there for protection, as what others mentioned here.

Always 50/50 depending on how Bitcoin is utilized by many in a specified country. It could cause governments to ban it, due to their people using it for money laundering, terrorism, etc. However it could also cause government to recognize it so that connections to electronic market will be pretty convenient to people, but of course people should be wary of taxes for that. In some cases at some countries, the government is just neutral to it.

It is practical actually. The security would be a bit of questionable though. I don't really use mobile crypto wallets that much but it would seem like I would use soon when this gets implemented. I kinda remembered a thread in an altcoin discussion about a device that could help people mine crypto by mining. That feature could also be an addition to these smartwatches, although it wouldn't be as powerful as desktop mining.

From the past that I was still day trading coins like ADA, I managed to stumble upon this USDT. I thought it was like any other altcoins you would see in the market that is specialized to be day traded. Turns out it is a stable currency after all. It has been existing and resisting for the past a year already, and I just trusted the coin way too late already because of fear. This is where most traders put their profits so that instability will not screw up their trades. Personally, I trust USDT.

Aside from price, I would like to add up about security. I remembered back in the days where my professor told me that there is no perfect security because someone totally made the security. It is just that the pay keeps them away from taking advantage of their control. I never felt safe in using credit cards from banks ever, after I heard this. Even though Bitcoin is still made by someone, it never failed me to satisfy transactions while in banks there are gonna be hidden charges.

Sometimes it kinda depends especially on the service they provided if it is worth the price, because it is gonna be a double-edged sword if they put the fees in a "wrong" amount. From the days that I was still day-trading in Binance, the withdrawal fees aren't that much of something that would give me a lot of losses. Another one exchange that I traded at was EtherDelta, and to be honest it was kinda slow to even deposit, so I must say that fees aren't worth that long of a wait.
