I gave all my friends some Bitcoin to buy games on g2a and they were all very surprised at how easy it was to use. Unfortunately none of them liked it enough to start only using Bitcoin when shopping online.

Same case here. They were at first wowed by how BTCBTCBTC works, and how it can be used. But after that they wouldn't bother. One said 'Paypal is good enough for him.'  Smiley

i don't think i can help that much to the "mass adoption" as an individual.

but i can only help spread the word about bitcoin to my friends and family and colelgues, and i have already done that by introducing them to bitcoin and also giving some of them some BTC and also introducing them to purse.io

Buying the dip...

In my case it was exactly the same thing, I told my friends about btc, at first laughed and even called, but months later came because they wanted to pay server ... my friends had not  verified account on PayPal and Payza because their documents had not It has been issued in my country. So they came to me to find out how they could  pay using btc.

I showed them how to create Wallet in blockchain.info and gave them some satoshis. But they and as I wanted to use bitcoin to shop here in my country and heard about bitcoin card debit, but when we asked Card told us that no card works in my country, my friends gave up bitcoins and were open account in Payza and so are waiting for documents to verify their account in Payza.

My role currently is mostly focused on informing friends and family about bitcoin and how it works. Sometimes i sent them some free bitcoin if they opened up a wallet and sign a message.
But most of them find that too hard.

The same I do here with my friends. Initially I explain my friends regarding the existence of digital currency and used to indicate this to be the best among it which provides profit as well has several methods to earn.

Exactly the most important thing is that we should recommend it to our friends and family first and ask them to continue the chain and that will help in mass adoption in future for sure.

have you shown them how you had stuff from g2a for nearly half price because you bought btc a while ago ?
Good example, but I just say I've been eating pizza and takeout basically for free because I bought Bitcoin cheap.
Through pizza.be I can order anything with Bitcoin.

To answer the poll:
I think that merchant adoption of Bitcoin is the key to Bitcoin growth. And if there was a way to buy btc without having to pay any fees, people would use it even more.
It's good that Btc transaction cost very little, but exchanging fiat to Bitcoin still costs quite a bit, especially the instant methods.

I chose these 3 options: give people some Bitcoin, show business owners how to accept Bitcoin and take people somewhere I can pay the bill in Bitcoin. I think the best way to teach someone about something new is to give them a prime example like a Bitcoin paper wallet so the learners can get their hands on it and learn from experience. Also to promote Bitcoin adoption we have to get the merchants on board to accept Bitcoin so we need to explain to them why they should be interested in Bitcoin. And for the doubters and unbelievers out there we can just invite them to dinner at a nice restaurant and pay the tab with Bitcoin much to their surprise  Cheesy

Well that's a good thing that you help to promote bitcoin by sharing it to your friends, that's good to help them also for the mass adoption.
Since it is on the trend, and going to be more popular. And the price of it, in on its way to increase higher.

The way which is pretty good, but it is possible that your friend is still less trusted or less interested in bitcoin, can you provide some way to get the bitcoin with ease. Maybe it could make your friends liked the bitcoin

and does it have any positive results? do they actually buy some bitcoins or start using it? i have never had any good impact on them because they just dont listen to me and they think im dumb

im not helping the adoption a lot to be honest, though if i had a chance to do that i would definitely try it because in my opinion it would possibly help us to make some money

We all are trying our best to promote bitcoins in the best possible ways, but we are not getting enough positive response from the people around us and that is a fact.

Do all what you can in promoting bitcoins for those people who don't know it and yet for sure they will realize it step by step if you will
not give up on telling them that it is really convenient to use.

a good thing in my opinion is show business owners how to accept Bitcoin as indirectly invite people to recognize bitcoin ,
and helping bitcoiner to spend their bitcoin, give people some bitcoin is also good choice, people will be interested in something new, just tell them what bitcoin is? and how bitcoin works

If they don't understand then you need to give up after certain period of time, as you cannot afford to waste your precious time for foolish people.

I chose these three Options:
  • Give them some bitcoin (and then what?)
  • Take them somewhere you can pay the bill in BTC
  • Explain the history of BTC and what halving is



But I will change the order of all these actions.

First I'll explain the history of BTC and halving. and explain them how do these works,
Second, I'll take them somewhere I can pay the bill in BTC and show them how easy is using BTC.
Third: I'll Give them some bitcoin and then suggest them to start a profitable work, like investing or trading,

Talking about it is a way to spread the adoption of bitcoin. I understand that sometimes it can be tough but you gotta try if you believe in bitcoin.
I know some people who are aware of bitcoin but don't do anything with what they know. Because they don't believe in it or find it hard to understand how a digital currency works.

Everybody here should help to spread the world of Bitcoin and crypto currencies.
I do it whenever I can. I help to set up a wallet for people who interested and let them experience Bitcoin by sending a few transactions back and forth.
Furthermore I speak about Bitcoin's past in a nutshell and give an overview about the actual status quo and in what direction this could lead us in the future. Especially now in times where Bitcoin rises in value people are way more interested. Smiley
