unfortunately in my country the legality of bitcoin cannot be done for transactions, maybe for some people here might be able to take advantage of the ideas that I have. maybe I will better utilize the existing network and make a cashier application and put bitcoin as payment, for example a place to eat that has data management and also transactions with digital payments with bitcoin

I am trying to encourage my friends in a way that it can be an inspiration to them. I always tell them that bitcoin can increase the speed of economic growth because of the faster transaction that it provides. Also, the bitcoin price if volatile meaning the it is not stable which is good since you can abuse it by doing the buy low and sell high rule.

Promoting bitcoin to my friends and relatives is also what i'm doing but it really takes a longer time for them to fully understand about bitcoin. I can't simply encourage them to invest and use bitcoin as a payment system because they need more education first about bitcoin. It's also a good thing too so that they will be aware about the do's and dont's in bitcoin.

Promoting Bitcoin is a great idea. In this digital world people get all information in Google, YouTube etc along with that there should be an experinced person to guide in bitcoin because there are so many scam sites and projects which would be difficult to handle for Newbie.

Offering a service for average citizens or Senior citizens is a good idea.

How about we all take it up on ourselves to educating our closest family members about bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general. I don't expect to seeing bitcoin adopted as a global currency but i envision a future where digital payments would be used by several people and it would be cool to teach your your relatives about it so that they don't get phished or duped by scammers.

When bitcoin not available as digital payment currency but your country give allowed for bitcoin become legal assets for investing and trading with many exchange bitcoin support to trade and withdraw you assets to the bank, I think is most enough depend with many countries have banned bitcoin not only as payment currency but also as investment assets.

Every possible way to expand the adoption of bitcoin will do. Of course, it will start with our closest friends and family to share what we learned about cryptocurrency. Bitcoin is the main reason why we reach what we are today so keep sharing the good news. It's so seldom to people to see sharing their ideas about this innovative technology.

I always try to convince people that bitcoin is promising place to gain money. Because with just that way they will extracted to know more about so as they will find and learn about bitcoin. I think when they have known about bitcoin and how its function at least they will know and support that bitcoin can be used as payment system because it is very easy to use.

Such as payment system that use money fiat which is crowded being used by many people as of now. And I just thinking too when I give a learning about bitcoin that its function is as payment system then I will doubt they will extracted to know more about bitcoin because they just believe that payment system is money fiat only which was created by the goverment.

Giving people knowledge and awareness about Bitcoin, will make people aware of the fact that digital currency is also a method of payment that they can use. We can start giving this awareness starting from our family and friends. Give people the knowledge, your positive experiences, this will attract them toward this. We can also use social media which is the powerful tool for creating awareness among people.’

The idea is good, but such an approach will not always be effective, you need to act more cunningly.
It is necessary to represent Cryptocurrency and Bitcoin to your loved ones in such a way that they themselves have a desire to study this issue.
In this case, they will have much more new neural connections than in the case of a simple explanation from the outside.

be careful using social medias to promote bitcoin because social medias now were strict or now putting strict measure against bitcoin or on almost anything related to crypto . like what happen to me on the past were my twitter account got banned and post on facebook were deleted and my account was also restricted  . same thing happening on youtube lately were crypto videos are deleted for now clear reason  but eventually youtube release a statement about this matter and they said its thier fault   .

In connection of what you wanted to happen, since I love to really write programs. When I get into the stage that I can write real-life applications as I finish my studies, I'd love to write programs that would make Bitcoin be more accessible than ever. Apps like the one I use here in my own country becomes like a motivating factor for me to pursue my studies harder as well as studying Blockchain whenever I get the time to do so.

It's really unfortunate that some countries in the world didn't legalize bitcoin yet. I mean it's gonna be good if bitcoin will be used worldidly without any bad restrictions that can affect bitcoin. I mean your idea is really good to use bitcoin in a lot of places, like restaurants or groceries, but I think it should be better if we'll use a lightning network for that because we need like quick transactions.

Promoting bitcoin is great, and kudos to you for wanting to promote it, but in all seriousness, you don't need to try so hard. In my opinion, it's just going to be very difficult to convince people on how important bitcoin is, and that people would realize on their own the importance of bitcoin when they need it in times of economic uncertainty à la Venezuelan hyperinflation(but let's not hope for economic crises). Most country's economies are really just currently doing fine that they'll see bitcoin as something unnecessary.

Moreover, if one's trying too hard, pushing the agenda about how cool Bitcoin is, people are more likely to get suspicious, recall ponzis and stand up against the pressure. I don't know what's been going on at the end of the century in developed countries, but in my post-Soviet one many people lost money on Ponzi schemes which told them that it was a revolutionary thing that was going to change the world and be important in the future, so many people tend to recall their own unfortunate experience when they hear something like that about Bitcoin. Perhaps, it actually better not to push it directly, but just have some brief mentions and stuff like that.

[Cimmy_revenger]

the action you take to teach your friends about bitcoin and blockchain is good, you also have to remember not to be tempted by definite material benefits.
most people see bitcoin because of its value and don't see the advantages it has in terms of technology.

Ideally the shop should have bitcoin payment integrated in its billing. Maybe the amount expressed in bitcoin and the shop's wallet address, then the customer broadcasts the transaction (by scanning the qrcode for the address and sending the written amount). Same way the likes if bitpay can tell when a broadcast is made and release even before 1 confirmation, it is definitely possible. You could have a waiting room for people to wait for 1 confirmation if you don't trust your customers (or perhaps for larger amounts).

I have also been trying to freelance, but have been unable to, especially in bitcoin. Where are you promoting your services?

I like the idea of integrating the bitcoin payment in the billing, rather than having to ask people to ask for it. But then, when a shop has about 10 different ways for you to pay, probably cheaper to only have just the 1 bill, and then people still say how they want to pay.

That determines which invoice is given to the customer. Bitpay is so not a good way to pay though, since you actually have no idea how much fees you have to pay (trust me, I'm a long suffering Bitpay user) to get it to confirm. Because if you don't pay enough, or if you somehow have the tenacity to use RBF, the invoice is automatically cancelled EVEN if the tx is already broadcast.

Lightning will solve that problem actually, as the Bitcoin Arnhem stats show, it's really picking up: https://www.arnhembitcoinstad.nl/#usergroup

They use BitKassa mainly there.

Oh, and I don't promote my freelance services. When you start, pick up jobs, show how good you are, and the same client will probably stop advertising and just return to you. Also, solicit jobs, but in a respectful way. e.g. I'm a writer. I see a bad article published, I reach out to the originator and offer them a free rework of the article, for example. They like it, they talk business.

I then later say I accept Bitcoin for 5% discount off my invoice. Who doesn't like discounts?

If I was told to look for ideas to spread crypto, then I would like to have a "Crypto Introduction apps". Especially applications for smartphone users. Maybe with the application, it will make it easier for people to learn and understand what crypto is.

[Asmonist]

Basically bitcoin is a form of investment for me. Its a digital currency with no physical financial instrument. It is accesible online and convertible into our local currency. Online transactions and advertisements are very common today. Through these bitcoin has emerge to serve as a form of online payments. As being online by nature promoting it through online is very easy today.

wow  .  you are one kind of person because you help btc and this btc comunity to grow in your little way  . you must be free or dont have other important things to do outside because i can see that you can dedicate quality time to promote bitcoin  . how i wish that other non working people can be like you . instead of wasting thier times on unimportant things like playing video games  and watching cat videos , why can they just use that time to help btc and the btc comunity grow more  ? i would be more thankful with them  .

Lol.... I have other things to do. In fact, I'm a student. However, I still find a way to create time for bitcoin; it's for "us"!🙂

I agree with your idea, most of the world already using smartphones, by making applications like that and placing advertisements on Playstore or Appstore, maybe people will be curious and try to download. because at this time in the playstore or appstore everything is an exchange and wallet application.

Thanks!!! I love this idea. I'm currently trying to learn programming. Once I'm good at it, I can do something like that. Even if it'll take my time I'll make it free. Thanks once more.

[Chris Barth]

I'm thankful to everyone for their contribution. I've seen your thoughts and your ideas. At least I'm sure I got more than one idea now. 😉
