Best way to introduce Bitcoin and blockchain to people

[Alucard1]

If a person wants to learn something then they will make ways to understand it, to help them understand the world of bitcoin, you may start teaching them about cryptocurrency.
1. What is cryptocurrency.
2. What can we do about it.
3. What is the purpose of cryptocurrency.
4. Inform them about the blockchain and decentralization.

You may also suggest them to join this forum, just like what I have done to gain more knowledge about cryptocurrency, I am not that familiar with cryptocurrency, and then one day my friend invited me to join his forum and it helps me understand the world of crypto.

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.

First what is the impression of your country towards crypto specially Bitcoin?because there are some places in where crypto sounds more negative so attracting them to believe is really a hard task that needs dedication and patience.

While some Place has a Good ambiance when talks about crypto and welcoming you open arms.

But before hand,the very important thing is "You are Literally Knowledgeable about Bitcoin and cryptos" because you will not encourage someone if you don't really understand what you wanted them to learn.

The best way you can get them to understand bitcoin is by first answering their questions and clearify them on why bitcoin is not a scam. You're so focused on convincing them to get into bitcoin without realizing they have worries. Why do they call bitcoin a scam, have they been affected in one way or the other from the countless ponzi scheme out there or bitcoin doublers that have ended up scamming them. If you can get this information from them then you'll be one set ahead of successfully convincing them to see the good in the technology.

Make them understand none of those platform offering then specific rewards daily or weekly depending on how their investment options specify aren't related to bitcoin or the blockchain technology entirely instead they're platform leveraging on the popularity of bitcoin to push for their scammy businesses.

Do understand that many individual have fallen victims to the countless crypto related scams out there so to avoid further regrets they decide to tagged the industry a scam. Others that haven't experienced this personally must have heard stories therefore when even you intend convincing anyone to see the importance of joining the industry make them understand first what the industry is trulys all about and not the get rich quick story circulating round.

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,

This is basically the way I describe it to people who are not IT or tech savvy.

What is bitcoin?
Imagine there's a coin that is currently worth thousands of US dollars, but it's not made of silver, gold, platinum or any other precious metal. In fact, it's not the kind of coin you can carry in your pocket or put in a piggy bank. It's a digital currency, which means that it exists only as an electronic record on a blockchain.^[1]

It is not affiliated to any country or government, and thus does not have a central issuing body or a regulatory body. As a consequence, bitcoin is a decentralized currency.

What is blockchain?

Imagine playing cards with a few strangers, but none of you have poker chips, and you've all left your money at home.
Since there's no money on the table, each of you takes out your notebooks, and all of you start writing who's betting how much, who's won, and who's lost. No one trusts anyone else at the table, so everyone keeps their notebooks to themselves.
At the end of each round, you all compare what you wrote down. That way, if someone makes a mistake or decides to cheat to add some extra money to themselves, that attempt is easily caught.

After a few rounds, the entire page of your notebook will be filled with notes on cash flow. You may call each page a "block of transactions".
Eventually, the notebook will have pages and pages of information, that is a chain of blocks.^[2] Thus: block + chain = blockchain

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.

I talk about blockchain, which you mentioned in your post, and now you talk about cryptocurrency. These are two very different things. Blockchain is a programming pattern, cryptocurrency is a system that uses this pattern. It's okay to talk to broad audience about Bitcoin, as it's the only cryptocurrency worth attention, but you shouldn't spend too much time talking about blockchain - this knowledge is only needed for programmers who want to be blockchain developers, and they will learn it somewhere else.

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.

It is really hard to teach someone who is not willing to learn or who is not interested about it.

Learning without willingness or focus is useless and nonsense especially that if you are willing to teach but the person you are talking to is not valuing all of the things that you're saying.

Bitcoin and blockchain technology is a complex thing to learn because it has a wide scope that you need to understand not only bitcoin itself. You need to study the market, the techniques, the strategies, making predictions, and etc., also on how you will make yourself disciplined, wise, and successful.

Once you achieve that, don't hesitate to teach other people who are willing to learn just you do before.

[plvbob0070]

It will surely be a complex situation, as rural communities are mostly consisting of non-technical people. Thus, try to explain the concept of bitcoin in a less complicated method. Perhaps, a visual representation may help for a better insight. Also, if you want to educate people about bitcoin, then you should focus on it first. It will be difficult for them to acknowledge the entire information with other things being linked to it. Better do it slowly for efficient learning.

[AniviaBtc]

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.

Ask first if what is his motive or reason why he wants to become familiarized with bitcoin and blockchain technology.

Because there are some people who are only attracted when they see money, investment, and huge profits in the market even if they are not willing to work hard.

Besides lack of knowledge, beginners do have lack of patience when it comes to that and they want an instant and immediate profit.

When you will teach them how these two works, tell them to practice self-discipline and patience first.

[Christabel247]

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.

okay i have got a lot from you all, thank for the feedback
i will try my best to be innovative, creative and make it easier for them to understand how it works.

[Christabel247]

one day my friend invited me to join his forum and it helps me understand the world of crypto.

that is good dear,
this is also how i started too and it is really helping me to gain vast knowledge and with the same method i m trying to impact more people.
now what i do think is that; if someone do not introduce me how would i been able to enjoy the features of bitcoin and altcoin so this came into me and i decided to show others same way i was introduced too to keep the world spreading about digitalization of cryptocurrency blockchain.

though lastly i over heard most of the people i went to brief about the innovation saying it was  the same bitcoin my friend fell into so i shouldn't tell them anything about this that enough is enough, well all i did was that "i said you were scam because they used it as a means of payment or otherwise you bitcoin can be use to purchase or order goods anywhere everywhere" so that you used it to make payment to people who are really there to scam you so why don't you listen let me educate the more that you won't be scammed the second time.

All i saw was a great smile on his face

he said carry on sir.

so that was how i used.

@Christabel247 Posting multiple replies in a row is against the rules of this forum. You should merge your comments into one post so that the moderator doesn't have to correct your mistakes.

There is no particular way to understand bitcoin to my understanding because you don’t expect who don’t believe in bitcoin technology and always have bad impression of the currency to invest or trade using bitcoin. It’s going to be s lot of work for you because you will continue to explain to them about bitcoin and continue been frustrated, I’m sure because they will never see reasons with you.

You don’t force it on them, they will learn and appreciate the technology by themselves because I believe as information and technology keep spreading there will get to a point when they will be looking for you to educate them about bitcoin without stress. Unless you have some rewards for educating people about bitcoin, then good luck.

[akirasendo17]

Blockchain is vast, they have lots of usages, at the same time people these days when they heard bitcoin, will take a step back because of the news
The best way to introduce them I think the best way is, for example, they want to send money to their love once mostly if you deposit money in the bank it takes 3 days to reach or to claim, with bitcoin or crypto, only takes like minutes, which if they have an emergency it will reach in time, now if they want to invest, show them how to earn, but always tell them the consequences or how bitcoin price changes every time so they won't be shocked,
you have to make it simple because when you say blockchain, I think they will just pass on it because it's very hard to explain in one day, I hope I give you an idea.

[westom1]

So what is a good written primer on blockchains.  How it works technically (ie mathematically).

You can show them the stuff you get from using Bitcoin if you had one or show them brief of your earnings, by then perhaps that could be a way for them to reconsider of learning about Bitcoin and stuff. If happens that they don't believe then stop wasting your time explaining these to them coz no matter how you present it to them, if they are not interested than it's useless. And based on what you have mentioned it would be a lot difficult to lay out about Bitcoin if you have problems on modern facilities.

If your friends are not into cryptocurrencies because they think it is a scam. It would be better for you to avoid pursuing and convincing them to use and buy crypto because you are just wasting your precious time. But if you really wanted to convince your friends to understand bitcoin and blockchain technology, you should be starting to focus and put most of your time into engaging with cryptocurrencies for you to show them the good results of using cryptocurrencies in your daily life.

[bittraffic]

Sometimes the only reason for them to be interested to BTC is to give some BTC to them and let them wait for the price to the moon. When they see the $20 you gave turned $40, they might just seek ways to spend it and goes back to you to ask a question. 

I have tried this before, one of them came back to ask if he can now buy from me. You will have to be generous for this to work though but yes It could be a way to introduce BTC to someone.

[Xinarae*]

This cryptocurrency is employed for transactions through blockchain and bitcoin is rising so high in blockchain technology blockchain is that the process of storing data by encrypting, the encrypted information of all the financial or asset transactions that are happening round the world during a fairly specific period of your time. there's no guarantee of hacking or stealing from here. People have known about the utilization of Bitcoin for an extended time but blockchain technology has made it faster introduce a system to finish each task quickly.

[JHORN]

Put generosity first, explain how crypto works and also let them know how risky crypto investment is by not scaring them off, you can tell them to engage in airdrop hunts just to have ideas about how wallets work, what I've learned so far is everyone won't have interest, those who have interest will surely keep asking you questions after questions
