is this the best time to teach about bitcoin?

[BeManga]

we are now in the time of crisis due to coronavirus pandemic
almost everyone is just staying at home because of community quarantine and many companies already announce their stop-work order
i think this is the best time to teach people about bitcoin and get some potential new investor or holder in the future
but the big question is HOW?

many people are looking for a way to earn online but afraid to touch bitcoin
because of the rapid change in price and it's not newbie friendly anymore
but it will not be the same if there is some way to try it first without spending at the start
im also one of those who have doubt about bitcoin at the start
but because there is some way to earn it i have some time to learn it little by little until i realized the potential of bitcoin

that's why im looking idea how i can make people get into bitcoin without spending a single cent at the start
because i think one of the reasons why bitcoin is not gaining interest unlike before because it's not newbie friendly anymore
if we will compare in the past there is not a lot of faucets available now
even the signature campaign is not newbie friendly
they can join is some bounty in altcoin section with a high risk to get scam


if you have some opinion just let me know
Keep Safe Everyone Thanks

In this crisis time (mostly because of coronavirus), this condition really gives big effects on life, especially the activities. You are right that now, work from home, a study from home, and self-quarantine is being encouraged. We should decrease activities that are done outside the house in order to press and decrease the coronavirus spreading. However, is this the right time to teach about Bitcoin and crypto in relation to this condition? The answer may be "yes or no" because of some reasons. It will depend on the condition of each country and especially each person.

The reasons may be:
1. We can encourage the use of digital money so as not to frequently come into contact with fiat which is one of the media to spread coronavirus. But the problem is, can all countries use Bitcoin as a transaction tool? Moreover, only a few countries have legalized BTC as a means of payment. And of course, it takes a long time to create new rules related to payment systems with cryptocurrency.

2. We can encourage them to enter into the world of crypto (especially the introduction of Bitcoin) so that more people know and are interested in investing in crypto (especially Bitcoin). However, in fact, many people who currently need fiat to transact in their country. Why? Because they need money to buy all basic necessities during self-quarantine.

3. We can teach new people about the advantages of using Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. But this is not easy, especially the way to teach them. Moreover, at present, the focus is on the Coronavirus. Besides that, teaching them about Bitcoin might indeed be interesting, however, is this not too risky? If they are interested and it turns out it is not in accordance with their expectations, it will only make them uncomfortable and disappointed. It's good if we really think about what kind of methods should be done when you want to introduce or teach them.

that's why im looking idea how i can make people get into bitcoin without spending a single cent at the start

For now, the easiest way for a newbie to get free crypto is by joining airdrop, but is it really worth it? Only a few percentage airdrops that will pay us worth. This is actually a dilemma because after all, it is difficult for newbies to easily get money from the crypto world for now.
Likewise with bounties, when they are newbies, they are more likely to become one of the victims of scams and illegitimate bounties.
If indeed they want to jump into the crypto world, it's good if:

1. The focus should be to learn about the characteristics of the crypto world, this is so that they do not misinterpret, hope, and also take steps. Sometimes a new person hopes too much that they can get a lot of money from crypto, and when the reality is the opposite, they are just wasting time and money, then they will be very disappointed.

2. If they want to get coins (coins), then it helps them be taught or directed to build an account first. This is so that they can rank up and participate in BTC paid bounties.

I would say if Bitcoin is properly taught like an article of youtube video explaining its merits, benefits and ways to earn, people will start to get onboard and will start wanting it. With the growing number of freelancers, i think they could easily understand how to use or buy and earn in BTC.
Especially with the virus people are in fear to go outside and interact with others, thus making cash useless.

[Darker45]

The best time to teach about Bitcoin is now, and always. The fundamental features of Bitcoin is always apt in relation to the financial status quo. There haven't been radical changes in the current system and so the time is always ripe to inject Bitcoin to the consciousness of men.

Perhaps this time of crisis in particular is a little bit more timely because you can easily notice how countries, rich and powerful ones especially, are injecting billions or even a trillion or more in their economies with the hope that it won't slide down the gutter. The US is said to be putting in 1 to 1.5 trillion USD, UK around 400 billion, Germany around 500 billion, and so on. This is going to pull down the value of fiat.

This could be used as a sort of a timely background to teach Bitcoin and how it is somehow designed to counter this inflationary economic initiatives.

[Oasisman]

Indeed, this is the perfect time to teach people how Bitcoin works, its history, and the future.
I might suggest and encourage crypto enthusiast who engaged into vlogging and some other form of social media blogging, to create contents that tackles about cryptocurrency and it's essential function specially during the time like this.
There's no other way to educate bored people to get into Cryptocurrency than to make videos online or write new blogs that relates cryptocurrency and the pandemic today. Since, social distancing is strictly encourage by the government and social gatherings are prohibited.

You are definitely right when you mentioned that due to the pandemic, people are trying to find ways to earn money because they can't from their individual works outside their home due to the quarantine and lockdown. Seeing from this side, this is definitely the best time to teach people the perks of having Bitcoin in their hands. When we explain its advantages and disadvantages, people will get to decide whether to start or not.

However, because of the pandemic also, with the decline of the economy's health, is the decline of the Bitcoin chart also. If we are to explain to them right now, they might have doubts. Also, the way you start registering to Bitcoin is actually different from before because you really need to take risks. I also pity those who belong in lower class who also wants to earn money for their family. The best way here is to edhcate themselves and strive more if they really want to have money.

i think this is the best time to teach people about bitcoin and get some potential new investor or holder in the futurebut the big question is HOW?

all the information is already out there in form of articles, websites or even books. if anybody wanted to learn about bitcoin they could easily do it. there is no need for new contents.

many people are looking for a way to earn online but afraid to touch bitcoin

that is a different question. bitcoin isn't some magical money-making thing. it is a currency like any other that people can earn by doing jobs like they do naturally. when you start thinking that way you can see that methods such as faucets and ICO scams no longer make any sense.

[yazher]

Absolutely true, Because most of the people who are staying at home, they are thinking some way on how to earn some cash during that time, what you need to tell them is, step by step about how bitcoin works and how will it help us to earn at home by trading or any other means of job with BTC payment. After that, don't forget to teach them about its volatility and let them decide on their self whether they want to start investing now or later.

[maydna]

It is the perfect time to teach people about bitcoin/crypto. As long as they can accept something that they don't know and they can open mind about the new thing, I am sure that they will accept crypto. But I guess that now, they can use the other digital money that available in each country so perhaps, they will use that way first before they use crypto. Let them decide for what they want to use to buy whatever they want, but we can still explain to them about bitcoin so they will have the other option to buy.

Bitcoin wasn't created to be a source of income, and its ecosystem isn't a good source of income either. There's simply not much opportunities and a lot of scams around. So it's not a good idea to introduce it as a solution to financial problems, especially with how volatile the market is. What you should do instead is teach about core values of Bitcoin - personal freedom, decentralization, controlling your own money.

You are right that a lot of people are staying at homes right now and might be bored, so learning about Bitcoin could be interesting to them, just don't tell them that it can somehow replace their (lost) jobs.

It's not a solution to unemployment, and dang I remember a lot of threads of that questions popping in BC Discussion board long time ago. Bitcoin isn't designed to solve that problem. It is entirely problem of the country itself, and not the currency.
It is still good idea to teach about the technical sides about Bitcoin though. We got Lightning Network, Blockchain and all that good stuffs that miners know, but it is quite difficult to do it right now due to the pandemic.

[davis196]

Nowadays,more people are staying at home using their computers and smartphones.A part of them wants to learn something new.
Online education is growing and the amount of people using online education platforms is going up.
Now it's the time for you to create an online course about Bitcoin/blockchain and give it away for free.
There are plenty of education/tutoring platforms like Udemy,Skillshare,Coursera,Lynda.com,etc.
However,I don't think that most of the Bitcoin newbies would want to invest into buying Bitcoins right away.

This COVID-19 virus is still spreading around the world to the point that there are so many people who are being afraid to get outside because of the virus, this virus can easily transfer to anyone especially when they meet an infected people around them, so to prevent going outside just to do some transactions, it is really better to learn about the use of bitcoin, so we may do some transactions online without going outside.

[Wexnident]

There's never a best time for anything. As long as one wants to learn about something, then that moment would always be the best time to start after all. It doesn't take a disaster for one to learn first aid, it doesn't take a job hiring for one to learn the process of it right? Also, BTC was never a business, and I doubt it would ever be. It isn't some sort of magic word where once you got some, you'd magically become a winner in life, nope it isn't one.

Sides, BTC was never beginner-friendly. I doubt it would ever be. It's pretty much like how accounting works, a lot of terminologies and such are required for you to actually learn what it is, how it works and the like. But if you only want to use it, then use it. People are probably afraid to touch it because of the keys that are used, which is filled with numbers and letters, and let's be honest, anyone with no prior knowledge about tech would probably be scared as well if they were to be shown something like that which is required for every transaction.

I think these were the things to be talked about since the day these events started to emerge. Dozens, perhaps hundreds, of topics related to Corona virus have been created. But most of them have nothing to do with our subject. For this reason, we should discuss the issues related to corona virus in the off-topic section. However, we can examine the issue between this virus and cryptocurrencies here.

Contactless payment has become a very important issue for today. Therefore, let's not forget that paying with crypto assets can be a very good contactless method. Let's raise our environment in this regard. Let's raise awareness in this direction. We can do this not only for the appreciation of cryptocurrencies but for the future benefit of human beings.

And please stay home as much as possible.

[minairia3]

The best start is to study online. There are plenty of resources that can be used which in the direct hit of Google. Also in the time of crisis, Its not appropriate to introduced something about investment about bitcoin, hence people only concern is to keep safe from harm and potential spread of the virus. Many people are now looking for jobs that can be done at home. But I will not suggest to them go here and join airdrops and bounty. Earning bitcoin or any cryptocurrency isnt the only forte of forum but just a bonus spree.

Bitcoin is volatile, and even they wanted to enter or not, this will not change even after how many years. I guess practicing first would do for them and not just jumo inti earning while they dont have knowledge to it yet.

COVID-19 is still spreading around the world to the point that there are so many business that failed and many people who get affected by the virus, there are also a lot of people who afraid of going outside because of the virus, so they cannot purchase something outside or they can complete some transactions in real life because of being afraid of going out.

This bitcoin can do all that things also, so I think this is the best time for bitcoin or any different cryptocurrency to use or to learn, it is really a good alternative for the fiat currency. I hope that our country also accepts the use of bitcoin so I can now use it on anything I want.

[fiulpro]

Well I think when people are sitting at home and have nothing to do and all the earning methods are closed , since even the online working situations requires a office setup and unfortunately due to the pandemic nothing is working at an efficient scale.
Therefore I do think that one should tell people about how they can sell their services through Bitcoins online using this forum and how they can earn though the signature Campaigns.
This is an amazing opportunity for them to go through this situation , maybe it won't help them a lot but even if it helps 10% it counts.

[GreatArkansas]

I think the best way to start is not to think that they can earn money or profits in Bitcoin but they should think that they can use Bitcoin just like what they using fiat on their daily lives. Just treat the Bitcoin-like fiat in their wallets. Just like what pooya87 said that there are different on them.
I think what you thinking is like having a Bitcoin is something like easy money, we should not think that. Even there is something like that, we should also think that we are buying Bitcoin just to get easy money, we should also think it's good purpose and innovation.

[Reid]

It is not about earning much anymore.
More like buying bitcoin. You know the reasons.

My wife had been doing faucets for a long time and even playing some games that pays thru bitcoin.
Trust me, it doesn't pay much. But it became a hobby of her to do it and I am not stopping that.
Somehow if the bitcoin price grows she will definitely sell it for her leisure.  

How to introduce it is the first difficult part.
People will evade you once they hear you talking about nonsense.
So how can you get them to pay attention.
Games could help. That is if you have a good capital to pay for the prizes.
Somehow you will also need to earn it back, better put some advertisements on those games.
