Sharing and helping others

[Cling18]

There is a saying - Japanese I think? -  it says "The teacher appears only when the pupil is ready". If you are looking for knowledge in the wrong places or you think that you already know everything that is to be known or if you are simply on a stage of your life in which you are either too happy or too troubled to keep looking for wisdom, there is nothing that anyone out there can do for you. Even if the wisest of all masters came your way, you would be blind to the light.

Now, that is a bit poetic, nevertheless true. Once you are open to new ideas, you are open to opportunities that you would never think possible including bitcoin.

Whenever people you know are ready, they will find their way here.

It simply means that those who are interested deserve help and teachings about crypto trading and investing. No matter how hard we try to help, if they aren't interested, then we're just wasting our effort. It's hard to please everyone and make them believe that it's a good investment so it would be better to see who's only interested and don't force those who aren't showing any interest.

I have a friend who works in the same profession as me, during a pandemic like this the workplace situation has changed drastically, we can't expect much from our income. and since I already have investments in crypto it's not a big problem for me i still can survive rely on some of my investments for emergency situations. but for my friend not as lucky as me, but I introduced him to crypto investing last year and he began to receive profits from his investment even though it was not much, he is currently enjoying investing in memes coin although it's a little dangerous but I think as long as it makes a profit for me it's fine.

I would not suggest my friends to buy memecoins, they are shitcoins in my mind even if you could make a profit today then you could make a bigger loss tomorrow so it is way too risky. I usually do not explain to my friends who are in financial trouble to go into bitcoin, I usually tell it to my friends who are rich enough to make an investment and still not be really bothered if they have a bit of a loss.

I always suggest them to go with spot trading and long term holding because I am not smart enough to make any other kind of suggestion. Last one was a friend who has a good salary and saved 3k+ dollars which is not a small amount where I live, and I told him to just buy bitcoin and hold it, he did it on recent drop and now we are higher again so he even made a bit of money. It's simply bitcoin, nothing weird, and he still managed to be happy with the profit he made.

As we already know about crypto, we can share our knowledge and help others to know and understand what crypto really is. How to use it? And How to start investing? Even we are not a teacher in profession but we can do what teachers did not just in school but also to our family, friends and neighbors.

I tried but it was hard at first because I have friends who didn’t believe in crypto and they thought bitcoin was just a scam. The pandemic has given difficulties to everyone especially in terms of financial. The government helps is not enough to meet the daily needs especially in food. I decided to try to help some of my neighbors who knew what I was doing to earn and to survive this pandemic despite losing a jobs. Fortunately, they are ready to learn and now they are making money in cryto like me.

I just want to say that we can help others, not only financially but by sharing what we know that can also help them. If there is a saying that "It's better to give than to receive", for me my saying is "It's better to share what you know in order to help than just to keep it to yourself".

This Christmas if you can't give a gift like money, bitcoin and other material things, let's just share our knowledge of crypto with others as a gift.

I think that it is great that you are wanting to teach others about bitcion/cryptocurrency but I think it's important to remember that bitcoin is more than just a way to make money.  Bitcoin is more about financial freedom than it is earning a money or even a living.  I think if you really want to help people out than you should focus on teaching them about the fundamentals of bitcoin, not just how you can make a few bucks on the side.  I personally would recommend to them that they log in to YouTube and watch Andreas Antonopoulos videos. In my opinion he's the greatest teacher out there and someone who truly was about teaching not for profit, but to educate..that's pretty noble in my book.

People who say that BTC is a scam are those classic examples of who do not research the entire thing. They primarily rely their sources through social media or influencers who attempt to destroy the reputation of BTC in the process.

I remember back in the last quarter of 2017 where the price of BTC reached an ATH of $19,000, people were screaming that BTC was legit. But when its price dropped on the following month of 2018, people who invested on its ATH shouted and spread word that it was a scam. Unfortunately, there are people who invest without even knowing what they are investing on and they are the ones who complain that such is a scam.

The problem is that those people who are screaming "scam" ..is the same people who are investing when the price is at a all-time-high ...and they are the ones that are burning their fingers. You can help these people by teaching them to buy at the right time, not to burn their fingers and then pointing fingers at the technology and blaming the technology for their mistakes.

They ride the hype cycle and get swept up by the hype train and buy at a very high price... so they have to wait a lot longer to Sell.. to be able to make a profit.

Bitcoin is not a scam, but scammers use it as a tool to make profit through various mean including ponzi investment and so on. If you ever hear someone say that bitcoin is a scam, tell him that he really doesn't know what bitcoin is.

I think it's just about a handful of people who basically suffer huge losses on investment that they don't really understand. If they really understood what investment risk was and what price fluctuation were, then they wouldn't scream like that when the price dropped. Volatility is a natural state for bitcoin because bitcoin is not controlled by anyone even though a small group of deep pockets are able to manipulate its price.

Most people in my area are also not aware of cryto and many that have heard about it used to be judged it as a scam making it very hard for them to invest in it.It is only during the pandemic era that some started to believe in it cause of the hard financial situation.I shared the little I could about it and now some of my friends are investors,others are even in crytocurrency trading making a living for themselves.

People need to educate themselves to know the real nature of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. But sadly, most are just basing their opinion on few negative articles published by media. You can't expect them to do their own digging and understand how this market really works. We also don't need to push them to understand this market. It is their own will when they want to know more about crypto. Because once they dedicate themselves understanding this market, they will realize that they are wrong all along. I guess, that's better - self realization rather than pushing them to learn this market.

Doesnt really matter because sooner or later they would change of minds or hearts when they do saw that Bitcoin is really flying out with colors on which you would definitely be changing  up impressions which you would really revert back those words that you had said in the past. Majority wont believe until its proven and this is the hardest part on which people wont be easily get convinced or showing
up some interest once you do told them if they wont be seeing any proofs.

I think the learning for crypto will be much easier if there is someone who can influence them to know more  about crypto. We can't expect the government to do that since they are the first to be against on crypto. Maybe if there is a public education that is free for all that will highlight on the benefits of crypto, that will be a good tool for people to shift their interest into crypto. But eventually, when majority do believe in crypto, others will definitely ride with them.

I don't know how I will be able to share what I know but I feel like most of my knowledge in crypto came from this forum and from my friends and most of them came from this one too so there's really nothing left for me to share with others in terms of knowledge of crypto. I did the other form of gift though, donating some cash to the victims of the recent typhoon in my country.

Do not be too pessimistic to share with others, even though all the knowledge you have comes from this forum. It doesn't mean you are not needed
in this forum to share, because every day there will be newbies who join or visit this forum. So you will be very helpful if you want to share with others
the knowledge you have, or maybe you have experience that you can share with others about the crypto world. So others can learn a lot from
the experiences you have had while in the crypto world. There are so many ways for us to share with others, so keep the spirit to share and help others.
Moreover, to be able to share and help others does not have to be in this forum, there are many platforms that you can use to share and help others
about cryptocurrencies.

OP your post reminded me of cryptocurrency games similar to pokemon go.

Where players can earn crypto by walking and collecting in a game based format.

There is Coin Hunt World:  https://twitter.com/CoinHuntWorld

And there is reportedly a similar AR (augmented reality) game otw coming soon.

Niantic and a crypto debit card company made an AR game where you earn Bitcoin

Have you ever played Pokémon Go and thought “I wish this game let you earn small amounts of Bitcoin by engaging with internet finance memes and a cryptocurrency debit card system”? If so, I don’t believe you, but I have good news.

Fold AR is a new augmented reality game from Pokémon Go developer Niantic and the financial company Fold. The game — which a press release dubs part of the metaverse — is very loosely modeled on Pokémon Go but themed around cryptocurrency. As explained by Fold CEO Will Reeves, it runs with the metaphor of “mining” Bitcoin. So instead of capturing cute monsters, the central mechanic involves finding cubes of binary code and tapping them like Minecraft blocks until they reveal a prize.

....


This could be a good and fun way to introduce people to crypto IMO.

 

And speaking of AR-blockchain based P2E game, there’s also another one called SafeHamsters and is using the Binance Smart Chain. The early access version is already available on the Google Play Store. I played it myself using Nokia 6.1 (which supports AR-based games) and so far it was good.

Yes I agree that this is one of the fun ways to introduce people in crypto. When I have shared this to my Facebook story, a few have responded asking me what game is that lol.

Here in the Philippines, I believe the one that made crypto go mainstream is play-to-earn games like Axie Infinity. Years ago, only a handful of us are adopting or taking it seriously. Even airdrops won’t really convinced a lot of non-believers until the play to earn and NFT scenes are in play. It did helped a lot of Filipinos during the pandemic until now and the rest is history.

No man is an island of knowledge, the more knowledge is shared the more even you who's sending out this knowledge acquires more.
When you disseminate knowledge, you also gain from it because majority at times, it is at critical thinking we tend to discover certain things.

Above all, let's be nice to each and everyone this season, spread the love and enjoy yourself, spend only what you can afford.

I couldn’t agree more with you. Especially that many people are really inclined and enticed to playing games, and so what more if they could earn by playing. Indeed, this has been and still is a good strategy in introducing crypto to the public, encourage them to adopt it, all while also giving them the simplicity and fun side of it. Through such, learning crypto has been also made fun.

If you intend to share there many venues that you go and provide that knowledge, it's good since personal experienced is the best guide towards this business, not a guarantee but in good faith it will bring guidance before any newcomers to explore around this business, unlike with those who don't have the idea they will keep experiencing losses.

Share if you believe that you have that good position, if you think that you have references that can be used to lessen losses around this business.

[Padiko]

Sharing that knowledge will be better, with that knowledge it will benefit him.

[nakamura12]

I didn't directly help many newbies as the threads or links I shared is not mine. I also share my knowledge about something that I know or based on my experience. It's not bad to help but helping too much makes that person dependent on the knowledge you are going to share and he/she will be too lazy to do his/her own research of knowledge. I have known a person personally who didn't do much research and depends what I will share when I know something new like security measures and tips and more.

[HUSTLER]

This is indeed a great say, because there is love in sharing ideas especially if they are very important. The knowledge that is been shared to other people is the real knowledge the entire world knows, because if you have knowledge and keep it to yourself its useless to others. COVID-19 pandemic has really made people crippled in their businesses and made some loose their jobs and sources of income, but crypto trading and other related works related to cryptocurrency can help, so pls if we have someone we can share the knowledge we have and introduce them to cryptocurrency

Share up if this one is basing on willingness and not having those bad intent on where some people had been doing on where they do take advantage with those newbies and scam them.

Sharing up this opportunity is always a good thing to add up more awareness which we do really need for us to progress out of this overall adoption and recognition.
There's no point on no sharing up this beneficial thing to other people since the more people do recognize then the more demand and the
higher value it would be.

Help out if you do find or see it fits.
