How we can introduce bitcoin to local people

[Wysi]

For me, consistently talking and organizing free public lecturers about Bitcoin has helped me greatly in introducing cryptocurrency to local people. But, I'll advice that while you're at it, be sure to let them know about the volatility and uncertainties that comes with investing in bitcoins. That way no one blames you when price goes south.

I am not sure if organizing free public lectures will be possible for everyone because there are still so many countries which are hostile towards bitcoin I rather prefer introducing it to my friends and families gradually they would do the same. As you said I clearly advise them about both the positive and negative side of it to them.

I am not interested with talking about bitcoin to local people excatly to my friend, bitcoin risk for investing when price down you will fault with your friend because ask him for investing with bitcoin, I only giving free way to earn altcoin or bitcoin because if not risk when not get payment, bitcoin is an investment project and have big risk for investor if not ready to lost their money.

Introducing Bitcoin to new people is not a big deal to introduce we can simply say that it's a kind of digital currency but explaining its structure could be complex to understand for new people so we should pick some simple and easy to understand examples to explain its structure to new people so it will be very useful way to introduce Bitcoin to new people.

There are a lot of ways to introduce bitcoin with other people. But it actually starts with people around you. How can you share bitcoin with others when you cannot even share it with your friends? Another thing is it's much easier to create seminars and activities that are bitcoin-related if local governments support it. For example in your city, it's good to have meet-ups and seminars to meet with other people that share the same interest. Even with no government involvement, we can conduct such activities, it just needs to be promoted for people to be aware.

Actually I've tried to tell people around me about bitcoin. But the results are not what I imagined. Almost everyone thinks
negatively about bitcoin, people around me consider investing in bitcoin as playing money games. Maybe in my country
bitcoin has not been much discussed in the mass media, so ordinary people have not been able to accept bitcoin with an
open mind. In the end I gave up on introducing bitcoin to people around me. Indeed effective way introducing bitcoin to
local people must have a role from the government. For example, like China where the president supports the blockchain.
Many Chinese investors are investing in bitcoin. And make the price of bitcoin go up.

Well we can't stop them thinking that way because they don't have enough knowledge about bitcoin, actually my friends also think that way before and I can't blame them since I also experience being like that but now I was able to make them understand by not forcing them. I wear a shirt with bitcoin logo that make them curious about it, they are trying to ask where do I get it and what is the real meaning of that. I take that opportunity to enlighten them and give them basic knowledge about bitcoin, of course some of them thinks that i'm just fooling around but I suggested to try do their own research. It makes them think negatively because of what they have heard or watch that talks about bitcoin but don't let them think that it was a sort of scam, try to make them understand on a friendly way and if they don't believe you then stop it because you can't just force them, also we have to accept that some of them will never change their minds.

when every country uses blockchain technology every level of society will recognize bitcoin, just a matter of time.

If you are on their shoes and you are open to adopting new technologies I'm pretty sure you'll ask for peoples help as well. Especially if you want to figure out things faster, asking questions is the best tool you have.

I don't think we need to be bothered telling people about bitcoin, because bitcoin will be recognized by itself,

I'm a bit confused about this. Bitcoin will not be recognized by itself. People will recognize it because, without us, bitcoin will be nothing. We are the best recipe on the greatness of bitcoin and what its future will be.

I advise for us to be active, especially when one person is interested to knowledge concerning crypto. We should be the medium to bridge their gap to cryptocurrency.

One day, I think to myself about how to spreads bitcoin to other people. After I create threads https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5191717.0, I see many of us don't try or don't have time to come into a gathering or make a meetup. So how we can introduce bitcoin to local people in our country if we are not trying to tells them about bitcoin? I know that will related to the regulations in every countries but we can introduce to our close friend so they will spread it into their closest friends too.

And if this is succeed, I think cryptocurrency will grow step by step. I know we can spread bitcoin online, but that doesn't mean all people in your country are aware of bitcoin. How they can know bitcoin if they never use the internet to search the news while we can tell them about bitcoin and another coin by offline.

I know many people talk about helpings the community and all but really no one here wants to popularize Bitcoin at no return. Actually the problem is that even if these are political rallies all of them are paid. Most of the people don't like to do charity when it comes to anything except religion. So we must find out ways which require people doing less efforts and advertise bitcoin both at the same time.

We don't need to advertise but a mass adoption for bitcoin. Although BTC is not the fastest blockchain anymore but still its easy to start in BTC because it is already created name in the world. BTC already get enough publicity during its all time high. The problem is the government doesn't support the used of it that's why people are discourage to used bitcoin even though they knew its existence.

There are many ways to introduce bitcoin, And the easiest way is social media because you can simply teach it to them.

But on offline and not via the internet is also possible because the conversation is better and the listeners can easily ask. There are also many ways to introduce it and with a simple effort you can provide what people need to know.

If you are a shop owner why don't you accept bitcoin for buyers? I know you will not accept it because the value of bitcoin is volitile. But there are ways you can accept Bitcoin. Convert it to currency immediately, There are bitcoin wallets you can use that have this feature like coins.ph,

You can also send bitcoin to your friends who are not yet familiar with crypto curenncy. This way you can give him money but it has a huge impact on him because he will have time to figure out how to use it.

There are many ways we can introduce Bitcoin and cryptocurrency to the local scene. However, all activities are commanding for some budget so since we never have some sources of revenues, we are doing things on a volunteer basis and therefore our reach can be limited. Unlike what multinationals with millions of money at their disposal. Being a decentralized network it means that Bitcoin is mostly spread from the word of mouth, mention in the mainstream media and of course our usual social media posts. I am suggesting some ways below we can be of help in the mission of spreading awareness and hopefully adoption of Bitcoin.

1 - We can organize a local talk event (similar to TED) all for introducing the advantages and benefits of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency where the details of the technology and the kind of impact that it can have especially in the future are going to be discussed. This can be called as "The Bitcoin In Focus: Why This is Your Future" for marketing purposes.

2 - We can sponsor local sports and entertainment events where Bitcoin should be at the limelight as the primary sponsor, among others. This can be attracting many people and one must be given a space to talk about Bitcoin and the kind of value it is presenting to the people.

3 - Whenever there is a gathering of our families, friends and neighborhood, we can invite ourselves so we can also be presenting to them close to us why there is that need for them to be a part of the Bitcoin bandwagon and platform.

4 - Youth people who have an inclination towards technology and business can be organized as "Bitcoin Youth Club" where they can talk regularly on cryptocurrency, entrepreneurship and the many new developments in the marketplace.

5 - The many "young once" can also be a good target for Bitcoin since they now have the money and the influence that can help spread the energy and enthusiasm to other people. Seniors will always have a good place in the cryptocurrency movement.

Looking at these suggestions, I myself realized that it must not be really easy promoting something like Bitcoin. And one of the many reasons why up to now we still lack the level of adoption that we need is because we are not actually actively campaigning for Bitcoin and there is no group with some money who can do the thing for us.

=============
Yeah, man. Agree with you.
There are a lot of sites wich explain or talk about Crypto, Bitcoin...
But, recently, discouvered one, https://sleekarena.com/, wich looks like very good to start.
There, you can Spin, Buy, Sell, Store, Send and Receive crypto, sounds security (Military security brow lol
Take a look there!!

I personally in Q3 2017 - Q2 2018 have tried to introduce Bitcoin & Altcoins to friends, relatives and even formed a local community to educate about Bitcoin and Altcoin, but in Q3 2018 when the price of Bitcoin fell, they attacked me and said that Bitcoin is a scam.. my energy, time and money are wasted... right now I am thinking, let it be until the time makes them need Bitcoin & Altcoins.

There's no problem with introducing Bitcoin to local people but the hardest part is to convince them. Honestly, it isn't easy to convince some people to invest or choose Bitcoin as a mode of payment because they're afraid to take the risks and always looking for proof. You can choose open-minded people but I'm sure that people who really want to know about it would be eager to do their own research. There are already lots of resources online including this forum so it wouldn't be too hard for them to learn.

The easiest way to invite people is to live by example, when I was starting out here when I try to tell them about Bitcoin and Blockchain they thought that I was inviting them to a Ponzi scheme, but after they saw that I am making progress in my life materially and they see through the many media news and Videos I've sent them, they finally realized how this technology can help them, you don't have to tell them they will eventually catch up because it's now becoming everywhere.

I totally agree, it is easy to convince people who can see what are the benefits that bitcoin made to your life. In our place it is very hard to convince or educate people about bitcoin because they will think it is a scam so what I did was I introduced it to a close friend of mine and let them see me change my lifestyle because of bitcoin and they are the ones who asked how did I do it and that's the time I explained it in a deeper level and now they are one happy investors like me.

Agree, let's just be true to those people who are willing and interested to listen to us about cryptocurrency, I mean, let's give them the advantage as well as the disadvantage, there are people despite the fact that it is already in the internet, but if they can't understand English well then there's no way they can learn more about it, so better to explain at least on our local language, in this way, we are helping them as well as the crypto world.

i ever introduce bitcoin to close people like family, friend. younger more responsive than older. older just know, like it is some new experience for them, not to apply for real life, just story. but younger more responsible because they know if this can be salary for them, the older know but they are realize that they cant reach it. younger more spirit to learn about bitcoin and its fun when explain to them.
local people have different though that can bring bitcoin more famous in that place. some of them can keep learn and apply.

[Hamphser]

The best way to introduce bitcoin to local people is through news papers and media outlets. Even the social media is the best place to introduce it to people although i don't think if it is still available since facebook banned any crypto advertisement on their platform. If there are famous social media platforms you can put it there but afaik facebook is the only social media platforms that's being used mostly by those local people.

[Capt00]

There are a lot of ways to introduced bitcoin to other people, you can use social media, you can also introduce is to your group, co-workers, friends and relatives but educating them maybe difficult most especially if they never really heard of it. Also, most importantly if you will introduce crypto/bitcoin to someone make sure you will disclose everything even the disadvantages so that they will understand completely what they are dealing with and will be investing into.

This logic might be not useful, following you with your statement that how to reach people who don't have knowledge or not using internet? even you educate them offline interest will be slim. Knowing those people, they are not interested with new system and they will continue using what they've already knew. If we are concern with reaching people, we should also consider their status in life, if they are open to this new technology then we can approach them and provide necessary information to attract them to use the system.

The point is what is your goal when you are introducing BTC to other people. Some might be interested in hearing about a risky, but usually a very profitable method of investing. Other - that you can send money much cheaper and faster than with banks, basically anywhere you want. Another group of people might dislike the idea of the state having control over the financial system. Last but not least - there might be people who want their money to be stored in a totally safe and unnoticed way.

Gathering such different people in one place may not be a good idea. Maybe it would be better to target a specific group having defined goals and views separately?
