How have you helped spread the adoption of Bitcoin?

[Enzyme]

It's not very easy to do if most ordinary folks find it hard to understand.

[LuckyYOU]

I think starting a conversation with someone around would do a lot. You may never know if they are interested in it. I've met people around me who were looking for a way to make money without much hassle. They have found out about bitcoin and that's what they do now.

I've done this as well, sometimes it works out to just talk about it but sometimes people are just not interested or they don't understand the concept of what bitcoin is or what it stands for.

Well my brother told me about bitcoin so I was looking in the internet and I tough bitcoin was a awesome method to earn money.
So I told also to my friends and they were also interested only my mom doesn't like it so I just stop telling about it.

Well I've told my mom about it once and she didn't really care for it. Up until she heard something about bitcoin on the news.
That's when she became interested and asked me for more information on what it is exactly.

ive helped business start ups,
ive helped established businesses get involved
ive introduced alot of people to bitcoin
ive helped people get jobs in the bitcoin economy
ive helped people avoid cons/scams involving bitcoin
ive helped people understand bitcoin
ive handed out lots of bitcoin to people(litecoin too)

but now i think i/we all need to concentrate on bitcoins usefulness before really pushing random people to get involved.
helping businesses BEFORE helping 'average joe' will make the later 'average joe' helping alot easier when the time is right

I would like to think that I have helped in many different ways. For starters, I have used my bitcoins for purchases. This of course spreads the adoption as the stores see that it is worth taking bitcoin payments in. I have discussed with and educated multiple people about bitcoin in real life. Lastly, I have created website in my own language which explains bitcoin and helps newcomers all the way from choosing wallet and earning their first coins.

[Amph]

only merchant can really spread and increase the adoption, average joe or bitcoin savy random guy can not do really anithing, besides spreading the info to his friends, which is not really helping adoption on global scale too much

merchants should be encourage in some way to accept bitcoin, maybe if they see the price increase they will add bitcoin, or they are simply waiting for more regulation

[Raimonn]

I'm trying to do it. Talking with friends about what is, how you can buy it, and how to spend bitcoins. And now talking with a collectionist about bitcoin, he like the physical coins that i have, and asked me what is bitcoin. He didn't know anything about, and now he is interested about bitcoins and could be that in some weeks he join onto this world.

I've helped by advertising it i guess. I've spread the word about bitcoin to a lot of people. i did a presentation for my class last year about bitcoin.

Just tell them bitcoin is money and 1 bitcoin is worth $500 dollars...

Indeed , it's really not that easy to do  . I tried hard but it wasn't successful what I did is that I spoke about it to some of my family members  and frinendn but well .. they found bitcoin interesting but they never tried to know more about it and try it .
Other then that  I didn't do anything , I mean what could a teenager actually do to help something big as bitcoin to spread more ? probably nothing .

Then you sell them 1 BTC, then buy back at Bitstamp for 430+.  Good plan.

• I educate myself.
• If after explaining it some they show enough interest to get a wallet on their smart phone then I give them a Bitcoin penny 0.01BTC or dime 0.10BTC to get them started.
• I tip some service providers, e.g. barber, instructor, etc.
• I give gifts, e.g. high school graduations, etc.
• I offer and buy back gifts with US Dollars.
• I participate/contribute to this forum and the Facebook page for Michigan Bitcoiners.
• I run a full node 0.11.2 (without mining).
• I provide funding indirectly through speculating both with retirement (Roth IRA) and non-retirement accounts.

Proof that you can make money by doing bitcoin earning method is a must.

If no output it will be hard to realized to them that bitcoin really exist.

yes i've been try to help spread bitcoin,every people ask to me what is bitcoin,i always explain to them,and make them understand,but unfortunately,they not easy to understand and accept bitcoin,maybe i must try harder.

[Blind Legs Parker]

Well like I said before I've only discovered about bitcoin last month during the last peak but I always try to talk about it whenever I get an occasion. Most people are sceptical though.

[xmax]

I have been spreading the word to friend's and family.  I have also asked all my friends and family to pay me through BTC, this way I can get them to get a wallet and all in order to get me money.  I am away from home a lot and when they pay me through BTC, it makes it easier for me to collect.  Better than Walmart's 30 minute wait and 100 forms of ID in order to get your money through money gram or such.

[The Sceptical Chymist]

I wrote someone I know a snail mail letter about the mechanics of signature campaigns. Though they have draw backs, it is a novel idea and one that has intrigue me for quite a while.  I've also brought up Bitcoin in conversation with some coworkers, but none of them seem interested in the least.

I will tell you a best way to explain what is Bitcoin, for this the other person should be very interested in learning for which he should see value in it hence start like this first of all start using Bitcoin and bitcointalk forum in front of them and make them curious and make them ask you about Bitcoin then start explaining it will be easier when the other person has a willingness to learn, I can understand it will be a big challenge to explain about Bitcoin to someone who don't have much knowledge about Internet and technologies.
