Hello my good people in the house!
I want to understand something very crucial and important to me because it really borders me and I would love to get some guidelines on how or the best way I could Introduced some of friends to start understanding Bitcoin and blockchain. Though most times wen I made mention of blockchain and bitcoin with other currencies they seems not to understand how it's I have showed them more light but all they says is calling it scam etc, just confused. In my region most Local village don't have modern facilities and many more so whenever I speak it seems is something new to them so I m just seeking the very best way I could narrates to them.
Thanks for your kind feedback.

Why you need to explain it to people who doesn't like it and understand? Is there any benefit for you if you explain it to them , if not then forget about it .let them learn from them selves ,the day will come when bitcoin will also be known in your area and if they get to this point they themselves will be curious what it is and they themselves will search and there is no need for you to explain more.

I thought you want to "block" people as per the title you have. Well, change the title into blockchain. Ok now, if those people in that village don't show interest about bitcoin, then you don't have to act as a hero of introducing it to them while them, they don't care at all. Introduce it to the people who really are interested knowing about bitcoin and blockchain. And for your introduction, you can simply download pdf files online and download YouTube videos about introduction to bitcoin and blockchain that you can have them watch, there are many of those.

The best way to clarify something about new direction or project or whatever is a personal example. For example you are showing them on the monitor, how you buy some coin, or token, show them, where you can do this and how many people are ingaged there, and sfter some period of time you show again them how much you earned from that buying, for example - you may show how you cash your profit out, or how many profit bowadays you have got, what can you do with your profit. When they will see real movements, it will the best way to show what is it and how it works. Of course this example is too primitive, but I wanted to show the idea. As bloggers in YouTube do, but you will show them tet-a-tete. But in case they will be hesitating it is better to let them to make their own choice.

The best you can do is to look for people that are learned among them and introduce bitcoin to them like starting by telling them what cryptocurrencies are and how bitcoin has been the first and the strongest of all amount all cryptocurrencies. You do not need to explain much about blockchain first to them, just let them know that it is a ledger where bitcoin is safesed. Also you can then explain what bitcoin wallets are, that it is used to store the keys. The explain what private keys and public keys are and why they should keep their keys from attackers. Then you can tell them about bitcoin address and how it is similar to banks, you will tell them to be careful of malware and other means they can be affected. Make sure they are all learned and also computer literates, this will help them to easily know more about bitcoin and some of them will be willing to deal with bitcoin.

Oh shit! Thanks for the corrections as my device is on autocorrect so it doesn't recognize blockchain except I have to save it manually for it to be installed. Nevertheless, I got your points I will look towards it sir.

Now what actually happened is that, there are many individuals whom has not understand it or having little knowledge about and besides the world is getting digitalize which payment of any collectible would be available online. As early adopted members of BTT we have to help those out there to spread the word by so doing we tends to carry everyone along. Now this would give you a better chance to build a strong community whereby communication could be made easily probably you become a consultant may like earn some fractions of percentage from any transactions.

For me the best way is talking about your own first hand experience. It is important also to know who are you talking to, as most of the people just don't want to listen, or will use this information against you:
I can tell you what happened to me once a few years ago. I talked to a friend about Bitcoin, he is engineer so I thought it was the kind of person that would understand what I was talking about, and may have interest. I told him that I had invested a little money and that I was optimistic about the technology and the price. He looked at me as I was idiot, and a few months after, when I told him that the price went up dramatically, he said in very low voice, for him, and with face of anger, something like "this son of a bitch may be right after all". I asked "what?" and he answered "nothing".
That said, be very careful who you talk to about Bitcoin and blockchain, as it may not worth the effort.
Apart from that, another good way to introduce Bitcoin and blockchain to people is sending a few sats to someone's wallet. After all, everybody has a smartphone nowadays, and installing a wallet is something anyone can do. If they have the "skin in the game", even if it is very little money, they may feel more interested.

It's hard to introduce a different perspective of bitcoin to some other people new to it. Abruptly speaking some of them will not get the idea easily. They only knew is that its a form of investment that If you buy there is chance to gain some profits.
Introducing something about investment probably caught their attention however you must also explain the part how blockchain and bitcoin works or the fundamental use case of it and always use disclaimer since this is something risky too.

Why would people need to know about blockchain? Especially if they are from a rural area. Have you heard about someone going from village to village and talk about MySQL and MongoDB? Even if blockchain was useful, there's no need for regular people to understand it, just like people don't know how Internet works or how planes fly, but they still use them without problems. But blockchain actually isn't that useful, cryptocurrency is the only successful application, and maybe the last.

For many people this is something unknown, you will not explain it to them in any way until they themselves understand it.
In my country, the authorities are trying to restrict people from cryptocurrencies, which is sad and this also affects

Now with the way things are going, don't you think the earlier the better we start educating people about cryptocurrencies?? I was in opportune to speak with most of colleague in city where I m telling them about usefulness of bitcoin many other currencies today they are happy, I m also introduce them how to make use of binance to trade today I m being compensated with some Satoshi as an appreciation. Now, if I don't do that do you think I can be valued to that extent? So no effort are being wasted so many are eager to learn based on other's result.

You can teach them but you can't force them to learn it . There should be a reason for them to want it so you can easily explain it to them . If the person you want to pass your knowledge doesnt want it even you have a good intentions you will be tired explaining it to them . If you really want that the better thing you need to do is to have a seminar in your city or state and invite the people you want to teach about blockchain and crypto do it in a group.

What could be the peoblem and what is their reason to restrict people from using cryptocurrencies? Anyway nevertheless, the way you could show or introduce blockchain to those people who doesn't believe it is that living an examplary life style by which it's reflecting on you so if they find out that you are doing well probably you are living large and driving a very good car I think they will pay attention to you while talking to them because you are made from Crypto.

Some times it's very worrisome and stressful trying to impact someone who is not eager to learn and understand things as you do. But one thing for sure is that with time everyone would be used to cryptocurrencies as many suppler merkets and store has started accepting bitcoin as means of payment.

The socio-cultural and educational differences make it necessary to use a different approach. In addition, technological advances also have a great influence on the provision of education to get to know bitcoin. In addition, differences in the rules of each country are very influential. Therefore, in my opinion, the introduction of bitcoin should be from the basics such as: what is bitcoin, its advantages and disadvantages, its uses. After that you can expand the topic to develop the topics that interest him.

Why would people need to know about blockchain? For the same reason why someone want to understand what brakes on a car do. Then problems are averted and failures are quickly resolved. A taxi cab driver need not learn how brakes work. But becoming a better driver (especially in inclement weather) is faster and easier when he does. Not saying that a bitcoin storm is expected. But learning does have advantages. What is a best written primer on blockchains?

You should not obligate to introduce it to them unless they requested and wanted to know about it. In my case, I had been into that scenario but I never got the problem introducing the bitcoin and blockchain to him because of his interest to learn. This is why it is better to allow others to learn by themselves and just answer the questions they wanted to ask in you if they get confused on other things. This is how they should learn and should undergone a process.

I think it would be very challenging to explain bitcoin to them if their initial reaction is refuse the information you're giving them and if they are not showing even a bit of interest to what you want to share. I think, the good first step is to catch their interest. Tell them or show them that it's not a scam and it has lots of potential. Be the living proof that bitcoin and blockchain is actually beneficial. If you got their attention, slowly feed them the details. Just the basics first so that they won't be overwhelmed with all the information they're getting. If they have decided to continue on learning, then that's the time to go on the more technical and/or broader side of it.
