I'm an English teacher in Germany so I get to talk with people about a diversity of topics, often what I suggest
. I've been educating my students on "What is money?" using videos and discussion. I've also been introducing
BTC to them, which seems to complete the money education picture. I'm getting amazed at how much people are catching on. I mean most people have no idea about money, much less bitcoin. The girl I taught today works in accounting and was sort of pissed off at banking after we watched the first 20 mins of the first video below. Hopefully the Butterfly Effect has been started.
I feel like I'm doing my part to help mankind, not so much to get others educated on
BTC, which happens anyway.
I've used the following two videos (both animated), which I recommend to educate people on money. (Then get into Bitcoin). I prefer the first as it is more about money, though the second is more entertaining. I'm curious if any of you are familiar with them, some feedback and perhaps other videos you may recommend. These videos might be a bit on the long side for some. Also, if you have other recommendations for educating others, I'm all ears. Eventually I hope some of my students start watching videos from The Bitcoin Education Project (which are being updated I just heard).

BTC into the class as well.
I also carry around this in my wallet, makes for interesting conversation and is a great intro into "What is money?":
