Another successful Bitcoin seminar!

[Chris Barth]

Today, I and my friend successfully held another bitcoin seminar. I remember how local the last seminar was, however, we stepped up a bit by advancing into a different and more convenient place and also, some edibles! Today, we elaborated to a new set of youths (±5) about bitcoin (and some other currencies). I still remember how surprised one of them was when he heard the price of bitcoin. However, I didn't forget to tell him that it's not about the price nor the price history of bitcoin as it has a volatile nature. I and my friend who held the seminar told them how they can earn from cryptocurrencies like bitcoin and the rest. We took enough time to elaborate. They were all very zealous and I loved that! We clearly warned them of the disadvantages of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. I personally helped them sign up on the bitcointalk forum to help expand their knowledge. And also, they all have a bitcoin address. After everything, we reminded them that even though they didn't pay for the seminar (they only paid for the edibles), it wasn't the end of everything as we would follow them up. Phew! I feel relieved.

I hope I have the energy to continue doing this! For those asking who the OP is, I am the young guy wearing the bitcoin top. 😄😄

Congratulation, mate! You did a great job and contributed directly to the development of Bitcoin adoption. Well, seminar is one of the good ways to introduce Bitcoin to society. But commonly, the participants are quite limited, and only involved educated people (university, senior high school, junior high school, etc). However, they are more potential to join Bitcoin than random people on the street. It is because they may have more capability to understand and be interested in Bitcoin.

Good. Tell them the truth about Bitcoin. Even if it creates a chance to have big profits, but the volatility also means risks in Bitcoin investment/trading. So, suggest them to have sufficient knowledge first before planning to invest or trading.

OP, are you endorsing Pepsi as well? Just kidding.  Anyway, small or big contribution in terms of spreading what bitcoin is, is highly appreciated. Many people really have no idea where to start in understanding what is crypto, blockchain, bitcoin and other related to this concept. They don't know who to talk to or if they are talking to the right person. There are so many articles and references that you can read via net. But discussion with real person with crypto experience is still different. So what the OP doing is really nice for these people who really want to know bitcoin.

I've never been to.any Bitcoin seminar. Six or seven years ago when I first started to deal with Bitcoin there was no such things and in general it was much harder to get relevant information about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general than it is today.
Education in any form, online or off line is excelent and although the situation is much better than before, we don't have enough of it. Even spreading knowledge and information still depends only on enthusiasts and we all know there are never enough of them and learning is continuous process that never stops.

Nice shirt with the bitcoin logo on the first pix.

Just be careful though, there could be some bad actors around thinking that you have a lot of BTC stash because recently we have some case. Anyway, just continue to spread the word about BTC though, those small steps might be very helpful in the future as these new guys might spread the word as well with their families and friends, hence, we might be closer to the adoption that we all have been waiting for.

This was the second time right Chris?and another successful seminar again?but i hope this time there’s no Late comers that will ask for your time after the seminar like what happened in the first?

Anyway Congrats Man you are really a Bitcoin supporter and i hope you will never get tired of what you are doing to Help our crypo community to grow more faster by conducting seminars like this.

And how i also wish that we are in the same place so i may one of your attendees in each seminars you held 😂

Nice one! It's a good part tbh. No matter how big or small your audience is, delivering correct information is always a plus. I expect you to become quite a famous leader and provide more talks out there, with how even with a small audience you're obviously giving it your all. I also like how you actually invited people who DON'T know much about cryptocurrency. Seminars are meant to inform and educate, so obviously, inviting people to listen to you that already has abundant knowledge of Bitcoin defeats the purpose of it all. Still, Congrats mate!

Well, I've never been to any seminar too, not even one. But I'm sure that seminars does a lot of work than online conversations because the tend to believe you more as they can see you with their eyes. Besides, they came with their jotters to make sure they capture all that was said. So, I'm quite sure that seminars are really helpful.

I'm curious as to how long the seminar last? How was the response of the young? Did their eyes grew big when they heard the price of bitcoin?  . But it's good that you made them aware from the beginning that it is not all about the price, but the (economic) freedom they can get if they decided to involved themselves in bitcoin or crypto in general.

Talking about the audience, it was intentional. We don't want to have a hundred people come for it and later loose interest, so we selected those that showed the highest zeal for the seminar. And just like I said, they were very zealous. I just hope the zeal doesn't die off. Though we'll be backing them up to make sure they understand more and more.

Whenever I see some success seminars like this, I always admire the lecturer and the organizer. I remembered last year December when we (together with my brother) presented some slides and explanation about bitcoin within the family. It is a great feeling to show how Bitcoin really works, how can we earn from it, etc. And mostly, younger generations are really interested about this.

I just do hope, we can also conduct seminar to the other audiences like you did. Spreading such knowledge about bitcoin and the technology behind it will give us fulfilling feeling. Nice to see the seminar you held was a success one. They only pay for the edibles? How about the venue?

Thanks amazing!! I'm pleased to hear this. I hope they listened attentively and understood perfectly.

Conducting a seminar is a good idea. If you could speak to your family about bitcoin then you can conduct a seminar too.

You asked about the venue. Regarding that, they only paid for the drinks and pies seen in the photo. So, that was a sort of an eatery and buying those things gave us the ticket to use the place for our purpose. You can use the idea too.... It'll save the cost.

I think education for bitcoin is not most important because just one way to get much money in bitcoin is have much money, without have money we can earn and start investing with bitcoin and altcoin, we not available for investing in bitcoin and altcoin.

If that's your opinion then I will respect it but on the same case I will disagree with you because I believe that education or knowledge on the cryptocurrency is the best thing or the main thing that we need to have because this knowledge and education will lead us from the proper decisions here in the cryptocurrency.
Without this knowledge and education we will not have good and proper decisions and maybe we will just suffer losses whenever we are accessing on cryptocurrency.

Explaining about Bitcoin to 4-5 persons is not bad because you can teach them very well. I thought you have been conducted a seminar in a conference room with teens to hundreds of people listening to you.

That is great mate, I know it's hard to explain about Bitcoin and probably it will take more time to explain from basic to crucial steps of storing your Bitcoin in a safe wallet. I hope you explain this very well not just because of the profit they will earn, they should understand how Bitcoin works and the blockchain system behind it. The most important is the consequences that may happen in the future.

It's a great job, I hope there are more people know about Bitcoin through your help. It will help to have massive adoption.

This is gonna have a huge impact to the bitcoin community. Having an in dept knowledge about cryptocurrency will for surely gonna help our community to grow even more. They will now be able to understand what is the positive and negative impact of bitcoin to our country and how does bitcoin really works. Good job!

[rodskee]

I did followed your first post about conducting seminar and i know thats also a successful right?and now another one was done and again successful.
So i believe that you are making way to the mainstream mate?by helping Bitcoin community for popular and letting people to be aware of what is this can provide us in future.
I hope that the next time you made a seminar will be attended by multiple people compared to this recents because your  hardwork deserves fortune.

[pawanjain]

Great job out there mate! You did a really good thing by organizing a seminar which actually tells both advantages as well the disadvantages because many of them never mention about the disadvantages. Also, making them join bitcointalk is another thing I liked about the seminar because now they can do their own research and grow immense knowledge and god knows where they will land. I hope you mentioned them some of the golden rules like never borrow to invest, don't put all your eggs in one basket, always hold your private keys in safe place, never keep your money on exchanges for a long time etc..
If not then may be you can send them an email by listing these golden rules.

Thanks a lot for your kind words. I actually prefer talking to a group of people who are serious and zealous than talking to hundreds of teens who I'm not sure would be interested or not. Besides, holding a seminar with much people won't bring me fortune because I do not charge people. I do this for free. Why? Well, I do know that asking for some fees might be cool but can make the participants to think that you were all about the money. So since I don't charge then money, I also tell them that I don't have any direct gain from telling them because if they sign up on bitcointalk, make a bitcoin transaction,  or do some bounty tasks here, I won't be given referral bonus / bonuses.

Obviously having a enough knowledge about the cryptocurrency and bitcoin through the help of the bitcoin seminar will truly help us to have an in depth knowledge that will be able to use a different circumstance especially what is happening on the market right now if we have enough knowledge and we are aware on what is happening on the market situation then probably will be able to not panic on every situation that is coming to the market and to the cryptocurrency world.

Congrats on educating more people about Bitcoin Core.You should tell them more about the  Bitcoin forks and all the altcoins that have the name "Bitcoin" but aren't actual bitcoins,like BCH and BSV.Some newbies,who aren't aware about this,might end up in the "Bitcoin Cash" trap and turn into enemies of Bitcoin Core.
You say that you helped some people to create accounts in this forum.That's nice.Maybe they should visit this thread and introduce themselves.
