How to give away Bitcoin at a public event?

[RodeoX]

i once saw a topic here about a TV show giving away free bitcoins in form of a QR code which you had to scan in order to claim it, that idea sounded so cool to me maybe you can use a similar method also.

I think it was on a Turkish TV show or something but I may be wrong.

SIDE NOTE: You guys are reminding me of a funny thing that happened a few years back. A reporter on some morning show was doing a thing on bitcoin and she had been given a paper wallet for the story. She opened it up and proudly showed the QR code to the camera. Look, this is worth $100, she exclaimed! Of course she was showing the QR for the private key and some quick thinker scanned it and moved the BTC immediately. She seemed very confused about how someone just robed her.

Turkish version was 5 TRY (which was around 2$ back then)

LOL, I think that is actually a different one. I thought what I saw was in English.
Her neyse, Türkiye'de Bitcoin görmek güzel. Ben Galata'da bir daire tutmak için kullanılır.

Printed wallet with the amount that you want might be the answer to your problem

Hi all,

I'm running an event next month where one part will involve giving out small amounts of Bitcoin (we have 50e which we will be mostly using just to show people what Bitcoin looks like, how the blockchain works, etc.).

How should I go about this? I wanted to do it using the Bitcoin Core mobile app until someone pointed out not everyone will have a smartphone or, more importantly, not everyone likes to download apps they are not used to, i.e. it won't be like when Ver hands out Bitcoin to a room of people that are very tech-savvy.

So what are my options?

You can make some paper wallet which is already filled with bitcoin course, and you can print that paper wallet and give to your audience. I think this is the best way. hehe Thank you

my idea, you introduce people how to using bitcoin wallet, then after it, you send the small amount of bitcoin to each people who install bitcoin wallet on their smartphone, then introduce him how to use it by topup mobile phone.
