to all those writing that grabbing random people, to get them interested in buying bitcoin as the goal.. then you are all just looking for a bigger fiat price to exit bitcoin.
meaning you are failing yourself, failing bitcoin and failing the people you are introducing while secretly planning your own farewell.
you need to talk about/think about bitcoins UTILITY not the damn price rise.
lets put it another way your fiat greed and fiat retirement dream can understand.
invite 2 people spend weeks telling them about bitcoins as a fiat investment, trying to tempt them into buying in big. hoping other people around the world are doing the same to cumilatively push up the price.
or
invite two people and spend weeks telling them about the business opportunities and what they can do locally(naturally they buy bitcoin, but thats not the main/end discussion). helping each other get bitcoin accepted by popular shops/stores in your location. where each store displays a "bitcoin accepted here" logo in the window. people start coming naturally to the meetups in increasing amounts. naturally growing the local bitcoin utility far beyond just 2 small inverters..
now you dont need to return to fiat because you can buy your beers, meals and toilet paper and because you are involved in lots of projects locally you can have your own income stream coming in from different places.
wasting hundreds of thousands on mainstream advertising purely for the hopes of getting a few naive 'buyers' is short sighted.. compared to getting organised and making your location "bitcoin accepted" which is beneficial for all and more long term.
and all it costs is a couple cups of coffee/beers
This is the most important thing to do, if there are more people who use Bitcoin because of certain features it has, it automatically pushes the price up, as opposed to more people investing out of pure speculative interest.
What I'm saying is that by attracting more people who actually make use of Bitcoin has a more stable influence on the price and it's far better to promote use case scenarios as opposed to only talking about the value.
