I have shared about bitcoin on my class

[Swordsoffreedom]

<...>

lots of people assume it’s a kind of scam and nest for dangerous and criminal activities.
 

All things have some good and bad side. Yeah, there are some people who use bitcoin for various criminal activities. Again, many people lost their BTC for scams. But there are many good sides of BTC. We can sell bitcoin without divulging any sensitive financial information, bitcoin has no risk of inflation and the most useful and important things is, its transaction fee is lower than any other digital money or credit/debit card.

A nifty bitcoin fork would make an amazing college project. Bet most of them wouldn't understand it though.

I really like this, sharing a little about bitcoin will make many people curious about what bitcoin is how it works and how to get it
with curiosity it will create a small scale mass adoption

I hope they'll just stop being curious about Bitcoin but to have the interest to dig more and understand.  Teaching Bitcoin and any crypto-related topics in the class are really challenging in a part that some people have a negative approach and thinking about Bitcoin. But OP makes it and absolutely he has an influential skill that could able to change people's mindset and succeed in what he plans for.

In addition to this I believe its a good idea to dig into the practical aspect of using Bitcoin after being taught about it, practical aspect of opening a wallet, learning how to send the coin and how to receive it, this will go a long way in helping newbies to grasp the whole concept or benefit of using Bitcoin and practice makes perfect.
The OP had really imparted some knowledge to the class its now left for the student involved in the session to dig further by putting those lessons into reality by practicing it further and he should also try and erase the impression of some classmates who might have link bitcoin to scam or being used by some scrupulous individuals to perpetuate criminal activities.

Or just a Bitcoin clone from scratch, even from the exact same client that was first fired up (which had poker too, by the way!) and possibly reimagining the way it was first done, like the way Patoshi has been doing to unearth new evidence from the early blocks. Might not make everyone understand it but would certainly have piqued my interest in school!

Perhaps, it may and may not be deceptive at all, since it is a gambling site, there's really a possibility for it to happen. But let's not dig deeper into that, I would like to congratulate you to have the courage to talk about bitcoin in your class as it was really hard especially if they will ask you too many question about it. But what is important is that, you have opened up their curiosity to what bitcoin is, so anytime, they will search for it and might bought some.

There's limitless opportunites on how we can share bitcoin knowledge to everyone, even with our outfits, bitcoin logo could help allot.

A good place to start introducing bitcoin even though there are a few gimmicks but it can finally explain about bitcoin. I have had a lot of experience with bitcoin since several years ago and have also succeeded in sharing knowledge with my friends on social media and also to residents around my home. Now they have succeeded in making money from bitcoin and that is a pride for me.

That is great, but I think this wasn't a good idea. I mean, the media always spreads how crypto currencies and bitcoin are used for scamming people. Your professor, next time when he sees anything about scamming involving bitcoin or crypto currencies like scam exchange or shit coins, the first thing he is going to remember is you and the example that you gave about freebitco trying to bait people to click on their site. He is going to have a bad impression about bitcoin.
Nevertheless, you did a good job trying to make people aware about crypto currencies.

his prof wont take it seriously but it was only an example because its part of thier class project about deceptive marketing  . from the word deceptive means to fool people or something like that  . this is different from scamming because its only a kind of marketing to be able to attract people . people can still expect to get something in return upon  trying the offer like for example on freebitco , you can really won a 200 dollar from thier free faucet it you are verry lucky because the chance is only small .

Each person is different and will learn thing at their own rhythm, in my case as soon as I found out that bitcoin existed and I read more about it I convinced myself it was the future and I immediately got in and bought a little bit of bitcoin, but there are many people that need to think things through and be really convinced and there is nothing wrong with that, what we need to avoid is that people come to this market only for the money because most likely they will be scammed and then they will blame bitcoin for it even if they were the ones responsible of falling in that scam.

I'm having an MBA degree on Marketing. Due to COVID19, we are having classes online. However, we had a term paper submission and presentation on "Deceptive Advertising". I have selected the freebitco advertisement and had presented their Bait and Switch method to attract newbies to have click on their site.
The advertisement is- "Win $200 bitcoin per hour" which I think totally a deceptive advertising. Through this, I was able to give a little hints about bitcoin among my fellow mates and my teacher. I felt lucky when teacher asked me what bitcoin is actually after my presentation, I gave a short answer to them.
This was really great achievement of me, it may not be to you. I feel lucky if I get a chance to talk about bitcoin among my country men.

I dont have the patience on talking to someone on what bitcoin is specially when there are lots of people do ask about it and later on they do give out criticism but at least i have tried to tell someone
clearly and just telling the basics.

Yeah it does give that kind of achievement inside that you do able to widespread the awareness of bitcoins existence.This might be a small step but it does really matter.

So far i have told my classmate about it and following it up with some videos on youtube or even giving that Btc wp directly to understand that abstract line.

Though you did absolutely well to bring the good gospel of Bitcoin to your college mates. For the freebit gambling casino you just said, isn't a scam advertisement because they have been into the system for long and their records still intact. In the advertisement, they never said play to win $200 rather play "maybe you can stand a chance to win or not". Many gambling casinos with advertisement are found doing this all the time to ensure new members are lured into the gambling platform to win such huge reward.

I am like that as well, I could explain bitcoin to people but for the most part they believe you are trying to sell them something as if you are standing something to gain by promoting bitcoin to them and they do not listen, and since most people do not really have knowledge at all about how the economy works then you need to explain that too if you want them to understand why we need something like bitcoin, and even if you do that most people cannot believe the economy works in such a way as it seems completely unfair to them, and it is such an uphill battle that for the most part I gave up trying to talk about bitcoin to people unless they show an interest in it by themselves.

Thanks for sharing. People need to know!

[oilton16]

 now they probably so thankful too you

[syedakhlaque]

You have shared about bitcoin in your class. It is a good development. I am a teacher also & also have good experience of business presentation. I had also done some networking business in the past and remained a team leader. Now I am in the cryptocurrency business. I often brief and guide my followers about bitcoin and cryptocurrency. Bitcoin is a secure and trustable business than all those I had done before. It based on blockchain so I like this one very much.

[carrigan]

Good experience, indirectly you can attract the attention of people who don't know about crypto and give a belief or confidence so that they can also join in crypto because crypto is not as bad as people usually think. The way you share experiences about crypto seems to be conveyed in an interesting way so that they are curious, this is a good thing.

have this same feeling mate whenever there is people around me who try asking me about Bitcoin or at least cryptocurrencies , i felt like all my
effort in the past(Explaining  and encouraging them) and now when they ask me something in relation to crypto.

now there are few of my friends had selected Bitcoins , while some had chosen to invest in altcoins.

those things are making my feeling hyping as product of our effort is not here in our part.

Thanks for sharing. People need to know!

all the people need to know actually , this is what the crypto market need so the world will finally accept and adopt crypto .

This is a very good initiative and an interesting one too.

May i ask, when you told people you can earn $200 in bitcoin per hour, didn't they ask how can we earn this amount? Some maybe disappointed to know that they cant earn this much ?

I am very happy that your sharing is useful.
But if you explain to a person who always treats Bitcoin as a scam that Bitcoin is not a scam, you will find that no matter how you explain it, they will follow their ideas. Your explanation is useless. I once talked with a friend for half an hour, and he remained indifferent, just believing that Bitcoin is a scam. I can't do anything about it. He doesn't believe me to let him watch me operate the transaction.

If your friend has research on investment, you can let him try cryptocurrency, let him operate and feel himself. If your friend is not interested in investing, he will not believe it no matter how much you explain. We don’t have to make everyone like Bitcoin.
