What are some interesting ways you've introduced bitcoin to your friends?

[taufik123]

introducing bitcoin to people around is not easy especially to some of the close friends I know. Some of my friends even don't know about bitcoin and think bitcoin is just a game that won't make any money. But when they found out I'm a Bitcoin user and have a few Bitcoins and have a big income they got interested and started asking how to make money from Bitcoin.

I started to introduce bitcoin by giving a glimpse of what bitcoin is and how to get it. I opened several Exchanges to tell you how to buy and sell Bitcoins.

There are some people who think Bitcoin is gambling and such. Negative views began to emerge, but some people also understood what I was doing.

There are many interesting ways that can be done to introduce Bitcoin.

They are the one who approached me and then they started to talk about BTC. It's funny cause while they are discussing I'm sharing what I already knew. They are astonished to what I knew, then I started adding ideas on how to use it wisely. Then they got interested deeper and today they are investing to different alt coin beside BTC. Many of them also started investing in crypto games and other nfts.

The bulk of them were aware of the term but mistook it for a cryptocurrency that could be created through internet mining and then invested for a rapid profit. When we shop or consume, the financial system keeps track of our transactions and charges us a fee. We put money in the bank, and only the bank is aware of what happens to it. Bitcoin, on the other hand, is open and transparent. Also you can see exactly where your money is and how it is being spent.

One of the best points but for sure there would be contradictory out of those positive thoughts that you had mentioned.What if they do ask out about money laundering? Scams and frauds?

For sure one of your friends would really be having these kind of questions and this is where knowledge about bitcoin or crypto as a whole would really be important so that you could able

to counter and make out proper explanation which might result on poking up other peoples interest towards bitcoin or crypto.

I haven’t really done much in terms of giving out Bitcoin, when I want to give out Bitcoin I just do it the normal way by sending it to my friends through wallet. But I first of all know whether they are into it, and if not, then I talk to them about it and help them set up a new wallet that they can use to be making use of Bitcoin.

When I have done that I would then send them some free bitcoins that they can use to start up, it usually makes them very happy and when they have used it for the first time and seen how interesting Bitcoin can be to use, they grow interest and then they start buying it and making use of it. Most of them have told me that Bitcoin is really cool and everything about it is so nice because of how techy and new it is.

It was a bit difficult for me at first trying to introduce Bitcoin to my friends and family, much was said and then we took a bet.

Well, everything works perfectly with proves, if there's going to be trust, you have to earn it.
I had to show them proves of how much Bitcoin has risen and how much impact it has made and then.....

Today most of them are doing well as they've not just relied on my information but had gone into research and now the own different coins aswell.

Yes I feel you. At first it is really hard to make them believe about this thing until they'll see that you're really earning something good here. I knew because I also tried to introduce this to my cousins and only of them believe in me. That one person who believe in is not supported by her husband but she proved that it is really worth it. After that her husband did not go against her from doing it.
They always needed proof first before believing.

Its easy to convince them if you explain to them a real world scenario. Like once I demonstrated to my friend how I received payment from one of my client living abroad via BTC. I then converted those BTC to fiat. All that happen instantly and with minimum cut. He was impressed and very recently he also started using crypto.
It useless if you just keep on telling them the theory behind BTC, tell them how it practically works.

I think everyone is familiar with bitcoin, because they easily find bitcoin on the internet, social media and so on which makes them curious and finally they look for information in their own way.
if those who know nothing about bitcoin, they probably don't have at least a smartphone and a television, and I don't think there's any need to file or tell them about bitcoin unless they ask, and have to explain it in detail.
because it will be easier and will be well received every what we explain to them because they started it.

I had to self-educate and trade a lot of things to get into the cryptocurrency field.
I just remember that student time when everyone was busy with their school assignments and part-time jobs, I started making money with this market. But when I shared that story with everyone, they only told me that it was a scam , and until now, I no longer meet them, and not many people understand this area around my life.

Friends those who were trading stocks with local fiats, noticed me trading in cryptos. Inquired me how much I earn from it and how often i make profits. I practically showed them the proof of how much I earned. They literally analyzed how much they were able to earn from stocks and now much they can earn from crypto currencies with the same investment amount. They purchased few crypto coins and yes, I was able to make them a reasonable profits from crypto. Now they have invested more than $2000 into few best crypto currencies.

Sent them 0.05 btc back in 2015 worth $15 to give it a try, i sent to over 10 friends that time.

some of them spent it all at once and the rest keeping it in their wallet ... 5 years later exactly before the covid outbreak hit us , some of my friends find it worth $200 , withdraw it all and smiling at me then say ... 'now that is interesting' , guess what? 2 of my friends still digging the wallet that i sent them 0.05 btc now as it worth $3,000! they forgot where it is now and feel in deep regret when i was offering that opportunity to become a pioneer.

Common reaction on where people do make out those findings or seek of those things when its already having some value but well no one had really expected that we would really be coming far on this one.
People doesnt really make out some actions or typically doesnt really believe at all and for those who had consider it out then they had able to make money even though it isnt big but at least
they are showing off some interest towards it and to those who had just ignored and carelessly lost up their coins then it serves them right but im not really surprised
with human beings behavior.

Bitcoin have really helped me in my higher institution, which I was really doing good so there was one of my friend which he was not financially buoyant and he was about to drop out from so so I told him if he can get some certain amount of money am going to teach him how to trade which after getting the money I thought him how to trade and he was getting little money and he was able to pay his tuition fees and he was alright which later he was having huge amount he was using to trade and we end up graduating together. So bitcoin really helped him and I also help him.

I took a group of friends out to a local bitcoin event. Before that, they didn't know anything about cryptocurrencies. The results were phenomenal!

We had a band playing, a ton of food, drinks and all the bitcoin enthusiasts were there. Everyone was chatting and laughing, telling stories about what it's like. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive.

There is nothing that happens when we keep on doubting Bitcoin. Actually, I was overwhelmed by what happened to you and your friends but for me, it was found to be discouraging since many of my friends still don't believe me and keep asking what is your proof of its existence. And sometimes they accuse me of scams and they think I just wanted to trick them.
That is a big challenge for us on how to change the mindset of the people when they don't even have the guts to try and listens to us. Maybe that is life and not all have the same opportunity due to the mentality of the person.

Note to those of you who struggle with reading comprehension: I'm asking how HAVE you done this. Not how DO/CAN you do it. Stick to your personal experience, we're not giving advice, we're telling stories 

I like giving out OpenDime bearer instruments like pic related:


My technical friends love it, I tell them the funds are theirs if they can move the sats from the stick to their phone, although some of them prefer to keep it on the USB because it gives off a cyberpunk vibe.

I've also brought friends to bitcoin ATMs around my city to show them how easy it is to exchange fiat for BTC, they tend to like that too because it attracts attention to the fact that we're doing something that might seem technically challenging and unusual.

Looking forward to reading about what you guys have done 

Unfortunately, the majority of my friends are not really interested in crypto. They just were wondering how I make money, but they didn't ask me what Bitcoin was and how they also could make money on it. I think that it is a mistake of snubbing such a good opportunity to have passive income. But actually, I found some friends who are crypto enthusiasts, they don't need to have Bitcoin introduced, so I can discuss all crypto news with them.

We can introduce bitcoin to our team of friends by managing business presentations.
In this way, we can show our friends all ups and downs of the business. We can learn them every them using a whiteboard, digital screen, laptop or projector, etc.
   We can show them our investment, our account, our income, maps, graphs, etc. This is a good way to guide friends showing everything in detail. But this all depends upon our advanced study and knowledge.

For quite some time I have been hearing about Bitcoin trading and how a lot of people have gained from Bitcoin trading but I started trading myself recently. I had tried earlier but mostly failed to gain from crypto trading due to a lack of experience and skill. A few months ago one of my friends introduced me to a platform called Trend Surfers Signals.

This website has loads of information about crypto trading, crypto signals, and how one can start trading. The best thing I liked about them was their free guide for Bitcoin trading, which helped me to understand the whole process. I had read a lot about crypto trading earlier but this provided me an overview of the whole process and a comprehensive strategy for Bitcoin trading. I have been implementing the strategy for some time now and have joined their Telegram group for crypto trading signals. This has allowed me to gain from crypto trading, so anyone interested can read this article for more information.

Mine is a little unorthodox, but I think it could be a really good way to get more people interested in cryptocurrencies.

I managed to find myself meeting alot of people through friends who loved to play ARGs and LARP games.
This gave me an idea.
I devised and ARG in which the goal was to discover the lost crypto wallet through basic detective gameplay.
The prize was whoever found the lost crypto wallet got to keep it's contents.
Almost like a treasure hunt.
The wallet of course was not a real crypto wallet.
I found that this use of basic game structure that most people could easily pick up if they were not already familiar with created a fun and sociable environment where the concepts of cryptocurrency could be introduced to people unfamiliar with them in steps within the game. They would be learning alongside other people also unfamiliar with cryptocurrency helped which break down reluctance they may have otherwise have as they no longer feared being seen as inadequate for what they didn't know. They also became genuinely interested in learning more about cryptocurrency and bitcoin as they had now associated the subjects with the fun and social experiences they had had playing the game and no longer with any preconceptions that may have acted as barriers stopping them taking an interest.

It is a dream of mine to one day do this on a mass scale as I was blown away by how effective this was as a means of introducing people to bitcoin.

I would love to create a mass scale ARG using cryptocurrency.

I have this link below (broken up) showing some rules I have devised in a basic concept design of how such and ARG may work.

Check it out and let me know if you would also play such an ARG and if you know anyone who would also play please pass the link around
