How to teach someone about Bitcoin

[nururochac]

For me you can just show them a video or something to teach them about it, I think that is a good method to really let them see how its working. And show to them where you get bitcoin

though the video might not be enough, for example when i first heard about bitcoins i needed more information about it to get me interested in bitcoins

i think the easiest way to teach someone about bitcoins might be just allowing them to understand that in the future everyone will use it and that bitcoin will become a big thing

Well sure, if they will not say that you're joking. You need a good proof and a valid details that will support your claim that the bitcoin will surely be used by everyone in the future because if not then even I who hear your words that's doesn't know this bitcoin thing will not take you seriously because they might just tell you that you're crazy.

What to do when you are laughed when first told about bitcoins ?
I was laughed earlier from friends when I told about bitcoins but when I told them that the price of bitcoins has doubled, they simply apologized to me and asked further. So, I believe when bitcoin reaches some peak levels, everyone will turn as bitcoiner by simply following us.

Show him your wallet and the its value in dollars, I am sure it will sparkba persons interest. Then, when he starts asking questions, that is the only time you have to explain what bitcoin is. Or even if he do not ask questions directly to you, if you got his interest, he will surely do a quick internet research.that saves you the trouble of explaining what bitcoin is.

Yes it was a nice way. By making someone interested in using bitcoin wallets to tell us for sure someone would find it curious how could collect as much as it was with bitcoin. I'm pretty sure they would ask a question and would like to try. The easiest way to tell them to active in this forum I'm sure they'll understand a lot about bitcoin and how to get it.

As the title say, what is the proper way to teach someone about what is Bitcoin?

For me. I will teach him to all my knowledge about bitcoin or what is bitcoin.. if they are ask me if how to earn. I should to explain all my knowledge about earning bitcoin. But before of them and most of them explain what is bitcoin before to proceed to the next step of earning. And then if he ask me about in bitcoin i will answer them. But not all the questions it is depending on my knowledge. Because me too i really don't know all about of bitcoin.

why are you wasting your time and energy. you no need to wate your time. just give him the website address or tell him to search for it in you tube. one can find any kind of information about bitcoin on internet.

Yeah that will make the task easier. Refer them on youtube for video tutorials or just told them to create account here because this site is what he's looking for because he can both learn and earn from this forum and this site is always updated on the different news about cryptocurrencies whether it's bitcoin or not. And we can also share our thoughts and ask about the things that we don't know about bitcoin and get very useful feedbacks or replies in just a few couple of hours or even minutes if there are many active members on that moment.

A person that is not interested will never do the thing you said, they will never browse nor search on the bitcoin if they don't want it or they aren't curious on it. They will just say to you "Oh, okay I will" but then after than they will not mind it and do the other things they want.

First thing is to ask whether they are actually and honestly interested in learning about what bitcoin is because the approach of "teaching" would depend on the level of interest of that certain person. There are people like me who'd like to only be taught of the basics then go in a deeper explanation when I've actually tried and tested it out myself.

Just don't. Forget about teaching people, they will all be forced to learn eventually, just make sure to be in before everyone else around you and you are on the right track already since you are posting here. You can't save everyone so save yourself.

Yup try to tell them once, and if they are interested they will take an initiative to learn, and if not let them go on their way and do not waste your valuable time behind them.

Yes that depends on the nature of person you are telling to about bitcoins. if he is a curious and open minded person will surely google it and check various guides that explain bitcoins.

explain that bitcoin is a payment as well as PayPal and credit cards. give-step explanations. make sure they do not bother when you are in and of itself.

Yes, if the price of bitcoin rise to a very high level, everyone will be attracted towards it and then every individual will try to get information of bitcoins on his own  from the media, google, internet and forums.

It is better if you are going to say that bitcoin is better than paypal. And it is a good alternative for paypal. Just explain brief and concise.
Like saying literally is a currency by itself.
And you can use it online for purchasing things to selected merchants.

The average person doesn't care about decentralization, they just want fast and cheap payments. Unfortunately the average person is too stupid to see the importance of Bitcoin, so I say forget about telling them about Bitcoin until Lightning is operative. Then when they see the speed and cheap payments they will all come.

Alone it is not enough as understanding bitcoin in the start is much harder and people who are completely new to this technology do not understand easily that what is this, so for that you will have to guide them for longer by explaining everything to them.

hahaha, that's truly decentralized does not become important thing for average people. with the chap and fast transaction give a different value for bitcoin.
a lot of people is a lack of knowledge about bitcoin. well, we only easy to receive something they can easy to understand. many people will be interested.

You are right they doesn't really care about it. Not just the cheap payments and fast transaction are the things that you are going to tell them.
But also that it is a real money.
And they can earn it buy doing some online task.

[elobizph]

it's depend to what kind of people you want teach. I mean if you want teach someone that jobless, it's more easier to teach him, just tell him that you can earn money from bitcoin and he will learn it for sure.

[Betwrong]

The best way to teach someone about Bitcoin is showing this chart:

http://bitcoincharts.com/charts/bitstampUSD#rg2920ztgSzm1g10zm2g25zv

They will learn from it that Bitcoin is a valued thing and not just "internet money" like many think of it. The rest they will find out by their own if they know how to use google.

True most people want a working product which is easy to use and have cheap fees. Bitcoin qualify party in this. The mechanism seems to work but it should get a enormous boots in terms of usability for the  average user.

That is really the fact that people are lack of knowledge about bitcoin and it is also hard to teach them about it.
At it really takes time before they will realize the advantage and convenience what they can get on bitcoin.
As indicated above.

I think you should go to some YouTube videos on bitcoin to show them how to set up a bitcoin wallet and explain it in general terms at first. I think explaining the overall concept and then setting up a wallet it a good start.

[ning_chang]

As the title say, what is the proper way to teach someone about what is Bitcoin?

First of all. I will explain what is bitcoin. And the second is what is used of bitcoin. And the third is. I teach all my knowledge about Bitcoin. To understand what is bitcoin. And then before we proceed to the next teaching. The next teaching is how to get and earn bitcoin from the other website and the faucet. And then if they ask me if how about BITCOIN or anything else i will answer but it is depending on my knowledge to answer that question.  😉

I think if explaining the material at the beginning of the tutorial is less effective, because I think people would quickly get bored and not interested in it. I think if we do a few videos on youtube by introducing the primacy of bitcoin, as rising prices could increase, bitcoin future bitcoin, or promising investments for the future
