Promote Bitcoin..... It is for "us"

[Kakmakr]

Laszlo paid 10,000 bitcoins for 2 Pizzas and he became a legend in the Bitcoin community and part of the Bitcoin history. When this hit the media, people suddenly realized that Bitcoin was actually a currency and not just some Monopoly/fake money and more people started to buy it and accept it as a payment on their websites. 

Laszlo promoted Bitcoin, not even knowing what massive impact his 10,000 bitcoins would have on this experiment in the future.  We can all have the same impact, by just dropping a small pebble in the pond and creating a ripple that would grow into a wave.

A few million pebbles will cause a massive Bitcoin Tsunami.

I think everybody has done it before when they found out about Bitcoin,
They would talk about it to their friends and family because they found out something new.
But most of the time we would only be ignored since they don't like it.

There is a risk in telling it to then, I did tell it to my family and friends and some did buy and apparently when BTC prize drops they blame me even I told them that price is volatile. Just explain them how risky it is and they will for sure not use it. People want easy money which is impossible in investing.

Also inform them that bitcoin is not certain and the market is volatile just before they invest in bitcoin. After telling them the advantages of bitcoin, also tell them the disadvantages for them to become ready when it's price goes down. Its price is always the problem of bitcoin and there's no specific season when it will increase its price again up to $10k. For now, just continue using it and sharing it to others, just let them react or do something, if they don't then it's okay because you have a lot of friends to tell it.

I dont think we still need to promote it. There are many services that you can use Bitcoin even paying your bills right now depends on the country  and they are many online store accepting bitcoin mode as payment . What kind of advertisment you still want to see?

We still need to promote Bitcoin though. It's not enough to stop promoting Bitcoin to the public. We can use Bitcoin when paying utility bills but not everyone can. Not every country can. It's not enough when there's only few merchants who knows Bitcoin and cryptocurrency are existing as a payment option.
I think every single one of us had promoted Bitcoin with your family and friends. And that's great! But we still need to aim more.

I feel that more people will have financial freedom when they are interested in Bitcoin. But I get a little sad when there are nations that prohibit their population from using it in their economic activities.
It has not been easy to introduce Bitcoin everywhere. it is required to educate the population and create business models that work for their use.

In my case, if my boss says to me: Now you will receive your payment in Bitcoin I would be glad the simple fact or I could see with great satisfaction commercial establishment that says: Here, We accept Bitcoin. And at best, that I can to verify that Bitcoin allowed solutions to a population that lacked economic well-being.
So I would agree on the promote Bitcoin!

Just on Sunday, my brother asked me about bitcoin. He said "if I invest 550$ in bitcoin, how much will I make in 6 months?" I told him that bitcoin isn't done that way and that there's every tendency that in a day, bitcoin price could increase 2x its price. And vice versa. But I surely told him that he can never lose in the sense that even if btc reduces and he thinks it's a loss, patience and time would refund his loss.

See, we just have to be more explanatory. I even used the inspiring story of how bitcoin rose from 0.008$ to what we can see today.

This is the generation of internet and bitcoin has already been promoted many times on social media.
I think bitcoin already has all the fame it needed but the thing is that it has got a lot of negative promotion as well.
This is the main reason why bitcoin is not globally accepted yet. Only when people's perspective towards bitcoin changes, it will start mass adoption all over the world.

Bitcoin has all the fame it needed? Where? Bitcoin hasn't gotten any fame. Maybe you're just overly surrounded with a lot of people into crypto.

Tell me, What happens to a bike when you stop throttling it? It will definitely stop moving!! The bike here represents bitcoin. We are on the bike, the throttle is our promotion. The more we throttle (promote) the faster the bike (bitcoin) moves. So, my point is that we should throttle more so as to take bitcoin to a more further distance.

this might be true, but don't we all dream to see bitcoin fully adopted by all?
 If yes, I think it's the best to promote bitcoin, because there are people who do not know about it, trust me

When I knew about bitcoin, it was about 10,000 USD. I started understanding how it emerged and how it works. I did (and still do) my best to promote bitcoin too (include my purchase of a branded bitcoin shirt). Though the increase of bitcoin between 2009 - 2019 is the biggest increase I've ever seen, nothing got me as weak as this (a thread Laszlo made on the 18th of may 2010)

I'll pay 10,000 bitcoins for a couple of pizzas.. like maybe 2 large ones so I have some left over for the next day.  I like having left over pizza to nibble on later.  You can make the pizza yourself and bring it to my house or order it for me from a delivery place, but what I'm aiming for is getting food delivered in exchange for bitcoins where I don't have to order or prepare it myself, kind of like ordering a 'breakfast platter' at a hotel or something, they just bring you something to eat and you're happy!

I like things like onions, peppers, sausage, mushrooms, tomatoes, pepperoni, etc.. just standard stuff no weird fish topping or anything like that.  I also like regular cheese pizzas which may be cheaper to prepare or otherwise acquire.

If you're interested please let me know and we can work out a deal.

Thanks,
Laszlo

Reading thought this, I felt somehow. First is because he was doing that just to promote the bitcoin. Second is that he offered 10,000 bitcoins for it. 😕
Since I went through that post, I've been feeling weird though I learnt something but....... That is touching 😔

I know that many people are focused on the 10,000 bitcoins (wishing they could get it) but then, let us ALWAYS PROMOTE BITCOIN.
Laszlo served as a very good example here by trying to use bitcoin (22/5/2010) to purchase pizza (and obviously, his goal was achieved as bitcoin is now used for purchase).  Let us all find a way to promote bitcoin! It is for "us"!

It's not a matter of how we are going to promote Bitcoin it's a matter of when we are going to start the promotion because we can always promote Bitcoin in a unique way that we know. Even if you have small audience, your contribution is already a steeping forward for Bitcoin to known widely.

I love promoting Bitcoin to my friends, families and relatives because in other way I also help them to find some extra income by letting them know the advantages of Bitcoin.

I personally think that is more important to offer btc payment solutions to the merchants and business owners.
You can promote bitcoin but people read about great ideas and projects every day.
We have to show and prove to the people that btc can help them in everyday life or make life more easy.
Good example is from my country.
Some apartment owners became interesting in btc because their young clients often asked about possibility to pay in btc.
One local company heard about it and sew opportunity.
They developed simple app so that clients can pay bill in btc but owners receive payment in local currency.
In such ways btc will become more popular and more people will use it ,  not just because of promotion.

This is a great way of explaining what happened when Laszlo bought the pizza and what will happen when we promote bitcoin (in a way we think isn't really effective).
Laszio couldn't tell that his small pebble could cause such great ripple. So, one can never tell what his/her little promotion can do. 🤷‍♂

Let's just strive hard and promote bitcoin more!

[maydna]

We know that promotion is everything if we want to introduce something to the public. The more promotion that we do in out there can help bitcoin grow, and whether it is growing fast or slow, it still trying to reach new people every day. And now, with the help of the internet connection, the job of the promotion will not be difficult because people now can easily access the internet, and they can access the internet using their mobile phone.

Laszlo did a great thing in the past, he introduces a way to buy pizza using bitcoin, and he did that. Now, we see that bitcoin can be a way to buy something, especially to buy a product on the internet. Soon, we will see a transformation from fiat into crypto in real life, or we already saw that in our real-life because some countries have already allowed their people to use bitcoin to buy something in the local store.

[bitcampaign]

this story should inspire a lot of people so that bitcoin is big now, because everyone from the beginning has been promoting bitcoin so that many adoptions are done out there, to be honest this also inspires me to continue to promote bitcoin in my own way, because there is no promotion then there will be no adoption

What we need to introduce bitcoin and the other cryptocurrencies to more people is a mass promotion because how can we achieve the goal of adopting crypto  world by the people if we are only few who promotes it? We need help most especially the help of an artist, famous personality or celebrity because they can easily encourage people through the use of their famousness and also their titles.

[chip1994]

Now that we don't need to do that, people around the world now seem to know about bitcoin and its effects over the years. But most people look at it negatively because there are many organizations that manipulate bitcoin because it is unregulated. anyway, due to the manipulation and freedom of trading it becomes increasingly valuable, we should be part of this decentralized market that has made a lot of money from it.

you have already contradict your words,you said there is no need to promote bitcoin yet it depend on what countries?so meaning on those other countries there is a must to help promotions?

and they are many online store accepting bitcoin mode as payment

lol if you don't know what are you saying here,bitcoin can be used not only in Online store,because there are other offline stores and service that can be paid by Bitcoins and other altcoins so i think you need to learn more first before posting  here.

. What kind of advertisment you still want to see?

are you serious asking this?if every single cryptonians or bitcoiners will spend 10-20 minutes of their time reaching people surrounds them,to tell some good things about crypto in months i am sure there will be another one that will invest and trust crypto,so the more time we spend the more the market will grow.

Who would be the one that wont think or would see that 10k bitcoins? Knowing into its current price is really high for a pizza.
I do somehow get your point yet no one actually knows on whats ahead or the future that's why its somewhat frustrating or regretful thing
to see on how much those bitcoins worth if it wasn't spent.Today, adoption is on the move but majority is surely looking to hold up their
coin rather than on spending it yet almost everybody do knows on that it might possibly give out some fortune on upcoming years to come.

Laszlo dropped the first pebble in terms of spending Bitcoin. And the ripples that that experiment had caused has reached the farthest corners of the world and made people drop their own pebbles as well. And together we are now making waves. Waves large enough to have caused such great change around the world. Not to mention disruption to the current system.

that exactly what we need now,to try reaching those people that has negative impression about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency mate because they are the one who must change mind and divert to trusting this crypto thing and realized thatb they will win in future if they Invest even a little amount from now and so on.Bitcoin is Future and will be for our next generation ,maybe we dont see it now but soon for sure.

Those people that have a negative impression? I don't really think so. I believe that if we can teach those who haven't know well about bitcoin, together with them, it won't be a big deal reaching those with negative impressions.

[MarioV]

A disclosure is useless if the listener does not want to listen or is unable to understand. We approached out of curiosity to understand and saw a submerged world that keeps the masses in ignorance and illusion. Only people who have a critical and analytical spirit can understand bitcoin.
But the best promotion will be given, over time, by the crises and the cancellation of our purchasing power.
