As Satoshi envisioned it to be the biggest transfer of wealth, from the haves 1% to the have nots 99%

What are some best ways to educate and bring BTC to the masses.

To explain them that centrally issued fiats are an illusion to enslave them.

Not as an investment, but as insurance - against govts, banks, and corporations. When the shit really starts hitting the fan.

What is the best way to explain a farmer in Africa, or a housewife in India about good and sound money, in a way they understand.

Satoshi is a common name, so yeah Satoshis have envisioned lots of different things.
but Satoshi, the creator of bitcoin, was never thinking about "transfer of wealth".

that sounds like an investment to me!
where you store your money some place safe that gains value and also protects you from when "shit hits the fan"!

you say, "not as an investment", then use the word "money" for bitcoin then say "before it is too late"?!! late for what? late for price being high? that is contradictory to being a currency! because it is never too late to use bitcoin as a currency even if price is $1 million per coin.
it is too late however if you consider it as an investment instead. so make up your mind, do you want to introduce bitcoin as an investment that will make them rich (fiat rich) or as a currency that is decentralized?

Weak hands have been complaining about missing out ever since bitcoin was $1 and never buy the dip.
Whales are those who keep buying the dip.

Okay ?

What are some best ways to educate and bring BTC to the masses.
Just give them a way to double their money and next day you'd see they start using bitcoin [exchanges].Harsh truth,this is what it has come to lately.

To explain them that centrally issued fiats are an illusion to enslave them.

You can't.Media has made up all the bullshit about bitcoin as a scheme to get rich soon and no one cares about decentralisation anyway.

They need to understand Internet,cryptography before they understand bitcoin.

Bitcoin is already "bringed to the masses".There is so much info about bitcoin online,people just have to read and learn.If they don`t want to read and don`t want to get involved,then just don`t bother about them.
Bitcoin is created to liberate the people from the banks,but what if the banks start to buy large amounts of bitcoin and start to adopt the blockchain?Will this change your point of view?

Whenever the price goes above a major threshold, news reports push people towards bitcoin anyway. People around me who previously had no idea what bitcoin is started talking about it once the price went above $10K and $15K. We don't have much to do at the moment, the masses are finding out about bitcoin when they see the price is rising all the time.
