How to teach someone about Bitcoin

[davinchi]

Well for me first you should explain how bitcoin works and how to have it and where you can hold it.. and teach him how to convert bitcoin in to real money.. if they see that bitcoin is money i think it would be interested..

Agreed. and after all that refer him to this bitcointalk forum. here he/she can learn everything about bitcoin. he can contribute bitcoin by buying selling it. and even he can earn money also by joining a good signature campaign. so this forum is first place to learn about bitcoin for a newbie.

But convincing one person to join this forum would be a challenging task in my view. Because no one can start earning bitcoins from this forum immediately. I tried to refer my friends to join this forum, but they simply refused with the reason of not having enough time on spending reading and replying posts.

Firstly, Bitcoin no need to teach. because it is a currency and all currencies don't need a teacher.
Secondly, most of the ways are here to teach the bitcoin, just like YouTube,some videos are here, and some books are here about bitcoin, and the best is Bitcointalk, should join it and get information.

Not all people know the word bitcoin. You don't need to assume that they can learn it on their own. For sure, you came as a newbie too where you don't know all the parts of bitcoin. You need guidance and you are somehow look for people who knew bitcoin to teach you. It is the same for people who don't know it too and add the fact that there are people who are not interested in this type of currency, what OP's trying to imply is how can you teach people (people that are not aware, not-interested) to know bitcoin? Will you just give  them the youtube video? Will you just give them the books? That's just nonsense. If they are not curious to know it eventhough you give tons of youtube videos they won't bother to watch nor listen into it. What you need is to hit their curiousity first. Now how are you going to do that? That's what OP's trying to ask.

It depends on a person whether he likes to learn new things or not, if he likes and if he have hunger for money then  he will surely start getting into bitcoin.

Why not do the simplest method and get them involved with giving them so they can explore it's uniqueness for themselves?
That's how I would of liked to be introduced into the bitcoin world. With a small donation to get me on my way.

I think a lot of it comes down to convincing them it does have value and their investment (or work) isn't going to become worthless for some reason. They need to be interested in earning money with it, the technology, or just getting into something else outside of the current financial system. If they aren't interested in any of those things, you might as well not try to convince them and just show them the thing once and then tell them to get back to you if they like it.

Giving people bitcoin before fully teaching them how exactly bitcoin is different from FIAT, and why it is so important is not good idea imo.
You need to instill in people belief that Bitcoin is good asset to have,  and they are actually hurting their future if they don't own it.

Whenever I try to teach or recommend bitcoin to the people around me they start laughing and it really brings a sweet smile on my face hoping that  last laugh will be mine.

Well you could show them some links or websites which have already been there for that use or you could tell them in a couple of steps
1. Get a wallet to store bitcoins
2. Start getting bitcoins with stuff such as gambling, dice, posting, surveys and much more
3. Continue until you want to cash out

Yes most importantly make sure they advance.
Regardless of the way if they could be sure they are definitely interested in bitcoin.
If it had been interested would have been easier to teach.

You got the point. Teaching someone who is interested to learn will make it easy for you to teach. You can just teach them the basics, and for sure they will search for the advance. As long as they want to know more about BTC, they can learn by themselves as time goes by with minimal guide/supervision by you.

maybe you are doing it wrong that makes them laugh at you. whenever i talk about bitcoin with others i don't let them laugh because i stick to the facts and don't get into the hype and the dream that many have about bitcoin is going to make them rich by going to the moon.

you should talk about the benefits of bitcoin like fast , secure, cheap, anonymous transactions and stay away from speculating about the price. nobody dares to laugh then.

Yeah, it won't be hard if you are going to teach someone who is really interested. But you will get a problem for those who doesn't have the interest but you want to teach about bitcoins.
You much encourage them easily and the suggestions are really fit for it.

Then if they are not interested, why teach them, right? Because I think it's nonsense to teach someone who is not showing curiosity or concern about something. But if you insist, then tell them the advantages of BTC and why you love it. Maybe you can encourage them by doing that. And after, you can guide them step by step.

That's right don't waste your time if there aren't interested either, but I think it is a case to case basis. For example, you really want to teach friend about it and he can't find a real job either. And he isn't aware about cryptocurrency. You can share your knowledge to him about it, go back to the first statement, if you see he shows no interest, don't waste your time.

Yes. That's why I mentioned that if he insisted to teach someone, then he should make a move of encouragement. Tell how BTC help him, why he enjoyed it, share some tricks and techniques on how to earn. As long as the intention is good and just want to help a friend or someone, then it's alright.

yeah I think it's reasonable because people will start laughing because they do not believe and do not believe in your say therefore it would be better if you tell the people around you with evidence that you got

All the things that you know about bitcoin tell him/her. You don't need to hide everything and I think it will encourage him if he will hear that word "earn" . That with bitcoins you can earn crypto money that you can convert into real money.
