Indeed, promoting bitcoin through seminars and meet ups do really work, but the fact that it is not the only way to promote bitcoin as not all people that is inclined with cryptocurrency has the power of words to convince others, through that, we could enter various means of promoting bitcoin. By the way, I really appreciate the video animation you've created, that is one of the ways we could induce market adoption to people.

I just want to share some of the ideas I've learned from others and some ideas that I have regarding bitcoin promotion.

Here are some:

• Bitcoin could be promoted if we ask - It is not always that people should take the initiative to be concerned about bitcoin, most of the time, they need a mediator that will open up their mind to the concept of bitcoin. I've tried one thing which is to sell prepaid mobile load and offer discount when they pay me in bitcoins. In addition, if we are on the shoes of the customer, we could take initiative to ask if the particular store where we buy things offers bitcoin as payment method (Thanks to the creator of that topic)

• Wear something that shows bitcoin - Even text, or logo of bitcoin as long as people could see it everywhere, they will surely be curious of what that is whenever there comes a time that they encounter it. Thus, making them research information about bitcoin and probably use it.

• Keep Sharing it - I use social media platforms and even if I am not personally talking to a person about bitcoin and cryptocurrency, I usually post contents about market graphs (Most of the time, when bitcoin is bullish and I show them I am happy). In this way, they might be fascinated when they could see up trend bitcoin projection and think about if I am earning allot, the tendency is they will ask, that is the time I take advantage to share some insights about trading and investment.

• Help someone in need through Bitcoin - We have encountered that some of our friends are in need so they tend to borrow money, I am not saying we should take advantage of that, but to consider lending money will help them, and it might be better if we lend them through bitcoin regardless if they convert it to fiat, telling them that, bitcoin is the only thing that you have, so there's no choice for them to decline, plus, if that person will repay their debt, ask them to pay it in bitcoin as well.

That are just some of the ways how I help bitcoin to be promoted, thus, with simple means and daily transactions, there are endless possible options that we could take. It doesn't really necessary that we conduct seminars or meetings, but by just living our day with bitcoin will then make it more valuable.[/list]

Your youtube video has 11 views,0 likes and 0 comments.I assume that all the views came from the link you posted in your Bitcointalk thread.Try to SEO optimize your video title,description and tags.You can use tools like VidIQ and Tubebuddy,they are free Chrome and Firefox extentions that will help you with search engine optimization.Bitcoin promotion will work if you do it the right way and if you promote BTC to people who don't know much about it.Posting Youtube video links on Bitcointalk doesn't work.

I usually don't like to click others' videos or share them because too many just try to get a few extra cents by asking us click / see useless things on youtube.
But this one, although not perfect, is a nice surprise: pretty informative and easy to follow. Well done, I've also shared it.

Awesome animation, Epic Chris! Not bad. I'm not familiar with how much effort it took to create that 5-minute video, I know it took quite some time for that, just like you mentioned. Let me comment on your video, if it's okay, I hope you take these comments of mine as constructive.

• The seminar looks like an AA meeting or something. I usually see it as a classroom-type when you talk about a seminar.
• The reactions of newbies into Bitcoin are real, like the shock that it showed in the video, it's cool.
• The basics of Bitcoin were tackled and easy to underestand
• The subtitles are changing with Bitcoin and bit-coin and it caught my attention
• Overall, it's a creative way to understand Bitcoin.

I'm just not sure if someone would easily be invited when you just met that person, or maybe it's different in different cultures?

I know that I share the knowledge about Bitcoin when someone asks me to and somehow it gets into the conversation about currencies or money in general. That's my take in sharing or promoting it. Some people are aware and just like the girl in your video, they took it as scams, which is not correct.

Posting the link here wasn't because I want to forum members to learn about bitcoin. I brought it here to prove a point which I believe you didn't see that in the post subject and the the first few lines of the post. Please understand.

I like the idea of making memes. I think I should also start sharing those memes that I used to see on social medias. They're really fun but sometimes out of humor that's why I'm a bit off to share it.

I might also share videos like the one you have made.

Same thoughts about wearing something like this. Especially, when you are in a crowded place and you are the only one that wears something like this, people might think that you are wealthy enough to rob becase you are wearing it on purpose. I'm not against with this idea but I think, I can't do this for now.

I'm glad you find it as interesting as I do! About sharing on facebook, I think it should be possible because I sent the link to the video to my cousin who I want to teach about bitcoin (sent it through facebook). In fact, I've been seeing people who do facebook bounty for projects share cryptocurrency related posts (severally).
Thanks!

Wow! That's pretty awesome animation video, how many hours did you able to finish that?
Additionally, as I experienced promoting Bitcoin; I become like a suspected scammer or gambler or bad guy.
As what I remember before when I told some guy I met that I have a Bitcoin, and he was like:
"You gambler? Omg, that's risky!" Like WTF? Hahaha.
And another experience was when you like to talk about Bitcoin, they think it's a scam or you inviting them to some Ponzi or referral links, something like that.
Keep up the good work everyone, as we do right and know right, no one can stop us from spreading the good news/use about Bitcoin.

Agree with OP, we just should not look for any special way to promote bitcoin. Wherever you are from there you can promote bitcoin, it doesn't necessary to arrange any special meetup. We need just spread the word about bitcoin, it should be reach more people. Creating art, video and article more effective to promote bitcoin. Especially who are using internet we may reach to them by this way.

You can spread word around you like friends & colleagues. To be honest, where I work there is almost 300 people right now and most of them know I am related with bitcoin. But they don't dare to hold it due to volatility and likely thats why they are not entering on bitcoin. But somehow they meet with it and may be watched some video about it. Because if they are from other nationality then I suggest to watch video from YouTube so they might know with their native language.

Any means of promotion will surely help as long as we can reach the audience even if our audience is not that many, still our message were able to reach them.

Any type of promotion either it is signage, stickers,videos,advertisements and etc. this will bring customer little by little and this little will surely increase the number of users/investors of bitcoin if it will continue until bitcoin will become the most famous currency around the globe.
