How can we make Crypto go viral?

[mk4]

I think, crypto is already viral, and it's growing public interest very fast. But as the scammers and hackers are hyper active, they are using crypto to rob people with fake icos, pyramid schemes etc. We actually need to slow it down, circulate crypto as a currency, not keeping (Hodling) as investment. Also, we need more how to, what is etc. type short videos to help people know that crypto could assure them the financial freedom.

Viral as in a lot of people know it? Probably. But viral in terms of usage? Definitely not.

While I agree, that's why we need to educate people, how is spending bitcoin instead of hodling going to stop the scammers though?

Also, we need more how to, what is etc. type short videos to help people know that crypto could assure them the financial freedom.

We already have a good amount of this. A good percentage of the problem is on the hodlers themselves, as a good number of people actually buy bitcoin/crypto just for "investment" purposes, thinking that bitcoin is going to moon real soon or something.

Now, crypto is a currency people can choose to use. They don't have to. We need to build it as good as possible so that people who choose it, can. And those of us who want and have time and resources, focus on building good showcases, demonstrating that it works. Is rapid adoption that necessary? We need to be able to learn as we scale upwards. Right now, we're in the middle of the development after having learnt that "on-chain isn't the be-all end-all scaling solution". It was a fight getting here, and in the end the big-blockers went and created their own coin, which I think was good for all parties. Has it gone viral already, in a way?

I believe with the mass adoption, cryptocurrency can reach more people from all country especially for people who have a good internet connection and they realize that the technology is coming to them. But unfortunately, there is still many people don't know about the potential of the cryptocurrency, so they don't want to join in the crypto. They still think that the cryptocurrency will make them lose the money without making a profit because they heard from other people that they got scam from the cryptocurrency. So we need to spread about the good news of the cryptocurrency and attract more people to come and join with us, so they have to see by their own about the potential of the cryptocurrency.

being viral can happen, as long as there is something new and extraordinary, such as the return of prices as at the end of last year or the joining of millionaires or influential people in the crypto world, it will automatically become viral, but will viral affect the market? if only to popularize I think now that bitcoin is already popular, many people who already know, hear even use bitcoin, with social media all feels easy. What I expect from the public right now is not to make viral news but make a lot of positive news because of that what the market needs now, with positive news it is expected that old investors will survive and can attract new investors

The issue of making crypto go viral is a very key note to make it trend and am sure after the breaking record of btc price in 2017 really made it viral and called alot of people to this fraaternity however that does not give crypto the bragging right to stay back in comfort zone but as members we should make good publicity about crypto and give them the reality on the grounds to betterr the course of crypto very well.

[Coinraptor]

People need to use bitcoin more and more to make the transaction and for different types of payment which might be helpful for bitcoin go viral. Because if people can use bitcoin for exchange and payment for the various purpose then people come to know easily about bitcoin and we need to talk about BTC with our dear and near ones.

[walemil]

There is nowhere on earth that cryptocurrency is not known, though the level of familiarity may vary but this is to tell us that cryptocurrency has already gone viral. I think what we need next is mass adoption of bitcoin in particular by major merchants across the globe.

Nowadays, concerning viral can be through doing something crazy and yet funny at the same time informative. Hitting the wants and providing happiness to the viewers could result to instant viral crypto. Of course you do videos related to crypto.

[maxilopez]

I am sure that we can inspire those people who have not yet accepted a cryptocurrency that this is a very reasonable investment of your money and it can really make you richer

To the best of my knowledge, Bitcoin has already gone viral as millions of people across the world already know about it now compared to the sizeable numbers in 2008-2009. What matters most at the moment is mass adoption alongside the EFT-SEC situation

[samycoin]

To make bitcoin viral is to talk about the benefits we get in bitcoin if we use it. We know as bitcoin user what bitcoin give to us like in investment and take some task to earn money because of bitcoin and many more. To make it viral of course we talk about the good site that give to us of bitcoin even its risky.

I think everyone needs to start looking at usability and scalability. Those are the 2 big things to tackle for mass adoption.

Just heard of a project called MOAC the other day and they're making their multi layer blockchain waaaay faster by assigning tasks to different layers, therefore the result is like 100k TPS.

[Farahtenan]

Bitcoin is indeed viral and worldwide, what we do is develop it so that it has more benefits and can expand.
The crypto market has made bitcoin superior.

[Initscri]

We should encourage payment in cryptocurrencies like transferring the crypto-coin instead of the fiat currencies to family members and friends. Also, we can offer  cryptocurrencies gifts to loved ones and people  in festive times like birthday, wedding, or anniversary

This is going to be the true test of Bitcoin. IMO too much focus has been placed on the value of Bitcoin, when more focus should be placed on the inherent value of it being a method for payment processing / value transferring.

There are many use cases where the Bitcoin infrastructure exceeds benefit to things like credit cards, etc. I don't think these are being marketed nearly enough in contrast to the value of Bitcoin itself.

[BuyBuyBitcoin]

Bitcoin and Crypto sell themselves because people will adopt them when they need them.

There is no way to speed up the decline of economies that are adopting them as a store of value over national currencies.

Marketing isn't needed, might actually slow down adoption, because people come to bitcoin when centralized options have failed them.

[JPSelzer]

I think there is no need to demonstrate crypto everywhere to make it viral. We can say that it has already become quite popular and continues to attract new people. Our task is to show them that investing in crypto is not scary and very profitable.

[hadveach]

we don't need crypto adoption quickly, sometimes a simple process always lasts for a short time.

there are still many people who do not know crypto, even their perception of crypto is always wrong, so it only creates FOMO, and affects the market.

spreading crypto benefits to the public is our contribution to the crypto world. we must make events such as training, discussion, and others, with a special theme about crypto. and that will make crypto viral.

[Burogh]

I think bitcoin already became viral many times. From start created, when start having a value and when the price reach $20k. I am believe next step is adoption and i am believe we will use bitcoin for paying our goods in merchant oneday

[suprex333]

Seeing the price of bitcoin must be viral, and there are many ways to make it viral. Bitcoin has boomed and has a name so many communities appear and are strong. This development is very good for the future of bitcoin and the crypto world, many things have happened for this condition.

[Hexah]

It already began viral and if it will be just like airborne I guess a billion are already into it but as my guess crypto adoption is not a billion by now (just my guess).

To make it more viral all the big player just have to make a mainstream announcement and it should be as too good to be true. That's all!

[ice18]

No its not, cryptocurrency is not too popular enough to go viral why I can say this? Because only 1 of my 20 friends knew about bitcoin and altcoin thats why I cant say its already viral we have to educate many of our relatives and friends about using cryptocurrency for a better future, security in our money and transparency to every transactions to avoid fraud.
