issues you have with educating friends/relatives. is that if they then invest, and then the price takes a dip. they will suddenly be blaming you for the investment advice.

do not proposition people in the form of investment advice. instead simply explain the details of how blockchains work, and why they work. and how such can prove to be a good currency tool, offering them a new choice away from fiat.
suggest its other features like setting up 'offshore' value storage, 'family trusts', or even inheritance plans without needing to speak to bank managers, accountants and lawyers(usually needed with fiat)

show them that its a real thing. by looking at which nearby retailers/merchants use bitcoin. so that you can show them that you can buy real world goods using it. it both shows that it works and that its actually accepted by businesses and that obviously for those businesses to be using it means your local government is not objecting to its usage

the easiest ways i have shown its utility is by ordering the group some pizza via bitcoin and within 40 minutes(10min confirm and 30minute pizza delivery) they were eating pizza bought with bitcoin
i used to do airdrops, but people still questioned its real world usage and why its valuable if im giving it away. so instead buying them pizza shows its real world useful and feels like it has value thats not just given away

[Despairo]

Only social media I think do have large impact for create an Bitcoin awareness to anyone, each person must have at least one social media, they might accidentally saw an account promote about Bitcoin. The other thing might create awareness is when popular brand accepting Bitcoin e.g. Subway, McDonald, KFC, etc.

2. Bitcointalk.org. In this forum one will be educated on all the aspect of crypto currencies Bitcoin

Even this forum has altcoins section, but Bitcointalk purposely only for Bitcoin's enthusiast not shitcoin's enthusiast. I don't see any good discussion on altcoins section, it's only flooded with spammer and scammer. If you want to discuss about shitcoin, better move to altcoinstalk or cryptotalk.

I think all of them great ways to promote the bitcoin and educate others for the same. Honestly, in today’s world we are already following all the above methodologies to promote it. Consider it direct or indirect it is already happening.

For example, When Ukraine Russia war broke the first thing we started to hear about crypto space is that there donations flooding throughout the whole world in the form of “Crypto Currency”.

News like, ABC exchanger donated $25 per individual in crypto currency’s.

This is nothing but the indirect promotion of crypto currency. More or less it is also educating everyone to rethink about the capabilities of crypto.

So Yup everything is going seamlessly. It’s the question of who comes in and who stays out.

[Darker45]

The opportunity to learn about Bitcoin is everywhere. I am honestly amazed at how even idle folks here in my place have already heard of it. They don't really keep themselves updated on current events and what's new in finance, economics, politics, world affairs, and everything. They don't go to school, either. Neither do they read news nor do they care about looking for a permanent job. And yet they heard of Bitcoin.

But the problem, which also applies to the list of agents mentioned, is that, what do they know about Bitcoin? Social media is pestered with wrong information about Bitcoin. Radio, the print media, and television as well. Those listed under informal education are oftentimes promoting certain products and services. On the other hand, I overheard peer groups discussing Bitcoin as if it is nothing but an investment opportunity.

In terms of fundamental awareness, nothing can probably beat serious individual research.

Few years back the sources available to learn about cryptocurrency is very minimal. With time we've got more access to learning about cryptocurrencies as well as the backing technology. Starting from school education it is possible to see education on blockchain and cryptocurrencies.

In the past it is quite rare to see news broadcast about bitcoin. Even if something gets broadcasted it would be something negative about bitcoin. Now international as well as local channels bring to us every news associated with bitcoin. With this people are well aware, but lacks the real knowledge about bitcoin. It is through our forum and other trusted platforms one can get the best.

As in the OP social media, and other forms of campaigning is good. But, in the long run most of such services were focused on money making than providing good knowledge about cryptocurrencies.

Agree. With the development of the internet today, most of us have at least one social network account to connect with people around and the outside world.
Nowadays,people are looking for what they need most of them will search on social network so social network is the best place to help people have fastest approach and awareness about cryptocurrency.

People on this forum are mainly focused on bitcoin and ETH. Most of the rest of altcoins are not warmly welcomed here, people prefer to be safe rather than looking for something new.

[Crypto Library]

You have provided some important information, I agree with your words. But many countries have not yet legalized cryptocurrency. In that case, it is not possible for these media to broadcast this on the radio and television . Even then, considering all the aspects, this campaign will create some curiosity about cryptocurrency among us and will create interest to know about cryptocurrency.

[syedakhlaque]

It is very necessary to aware people of bitcoin, cryptocurrency and blockchain technology. This is the era of science and technology. Due to advanced technology new products, methods, techniques, and businesses are being introduced. Bitcoin is a unique business and new market of digital currency. People are eager to learn this business. This business has very good potential to earn and change the economy of the people. This business is popular among all classes of people and all ages of life.

issues you have with educating friends/relatives. is that if they then invest, and then the price takes a dip. they will suddenly be blaming you for the investment advice.

Well, first of all, I saw that he didn't say anything about investment. He talked about education. What I also thought we neededFor example, I have no knowledge of crypto or bitcoin, and I happened to see a video about bitcoin on YouTube. Because of some people, bitcoin was introduced to me. Then I learned lots of things in the Bitocintalk forum. What is he trying to say on this topic? Now though I know about bitcoin investment and its risk, that is why I don't blame anyone. Though I am at a 90% loss, why can't I blame anyone because I know about bitcoin and its investment risk? So if the other person is from my family or friends, we shouldn't teach him about investing first. We should educate him on bitcoin first. Then, if he knows about it, he will be able to make a decision on whether to invest or not. We shouldn't get involved in his investigative purpose. We can only speculate about his learning period. And, you know what, I'm teaching my younger brother about bitcoin and cryptocurrency.If we didn't teach him exactly what bitcoin and cryptography were, then it would be tough for him to learn anything. That's my opinion, and your opinion is slightly different from mine. By the way, thanks.

For the fact that educating forks about Bitcoin/cryptocurrency is very necessary to save them from making mistakes, another thing is, not everybody needs to be educated on cryptocurrency as some are purely anti-crypto-minded forks. So most time I just look away from cryptocurrency education I believe anyone with the motivation to learn cryptocurrency will search out themselves on the internet so they hold themselves responsible for any eventuality and risk.

show them that its a real thing. by looking at which nearby retailers/merchants use bitcoin. so that you can show them that you can buy real world goods using it. it both shows that it works and that its actually accepted by businesses and that obviously for those businesses to be using it means your local government is not objecting to its usage

the easiest ways i have shown its utility is by ordering the group some pizza via bitcoin and within 40 minutes(10min confirm and 30minute pizza delivery) they were eating pizza bought with bitcoin
i used to do airdrops, but people still questioned its real world usage and why its valuable if im giving it away. so instead buying them pizza shows its real world useful and feels like it has value thats not just given away

One of the adversaries bitcoin or cryptocurrency faces today is the issue of its real life usage. This is highly dependent on merchants whom are ready to accept but these too are hindered by the activities of government and scammers alike. I doubt the case of usage has been much of a problem lately in nations like El-Salvador  and I can almost say the same for Russia and Ukraine. By there accepting aids in bitcoin is a direct admittance of its use case and admittance. You can agree with me that, these too is sure to propel its use cases and awareness.

It's some of the things I like so much about bitcoin, how every negative energy to it is used to its propulsion, from government promoted FUD to the activities of scammers and its identification with the problems of the world through philanthropic users on the system. It takes the idle and traditional mind to not research and move to the system but you could be rest assured that people are getting educated otherwise and cryptocurrency is getting the awareness it needs gradually and steadily.

[robattfield]

Yes, it is easy to find dozens of articles related to this market, and those who are really serious about it always know how to find knowledge. But I believe many people still don't know what is a suitable choice for themselves. Sometimes money motivation makes us arise and want to do everything. Good results will come if the preparation process is good enough.

[hugeblack]

As the saying goes, "You can't teach your old dog a new trick," so don't try to convince people who don't see crypto as something important or unique or just an investment opportunity, but try to tell them that when crises occur.
In countries with a low inflation rate, no one will realize how terribly money loses its value, which is different from the citizens of other countries such as Venezuela.
Also, you should teach them the basics of dealing with Bitcoin, generating the private key, choosing wallets, etc. instead of investing quickly and making profits.

All of these things take time and quick lessons and episodes on TV/Radio/Friends won't make them learn quickly.
Economics is very boring, but it makes people's lives easier.

Most of the times people don't know or understand what cryptocurrency is. They simply think of it as "the funny money" of the Internet and stay away from it.

In order to make people aware of this cryptocurrency, there are many campaigns going on in the world to reach out to the people and to educate them about the use of the cryptocurrency. Bitcoin has been gaining popularity among the youngsters for quite some time now. Many of them are opting for bitcoin over other cash transfer options. Thus, to make more people aware about crypto currency, there are many bitcoin awareness drives and campaigns which are coming up. Since this trend is not going away anytime soon, marketers understand that cryptocurrencies can be a valuable tool in their marketing campaigns. I expect more brands to take advantage of the cryptocurrency hype, either by creating their own coins or by incorporating them into their campaigns.

[Rakeshten]

There are also many YouTube channels, Telegram Channels that educate People about cryptocurrencies, they teach to do Techinal Analysis, they teach how to get any token information, they teach every single information that anybody need for getting start with cryptocurrency.

Although there is nothing wrong about investing on Bitcoin as a newbie or beginner with zero to very little knowledge, it’s still important for us as role models or “evangelists” to always disclose to them about the risks and not having promises or astronomical guaranteed returns, DYOR, only invest what they can afford losing, etc., and also informing them that we have no benefit or receive any commission for shilling BTC, ETH, etc., so that they won’t blame us if their portfolio goes bloody later on.

yes donations show its real.. to another nation.. but not so much personally/locally to the person sitting infront of you

EG people know airmiles are real. but for people that dont travel they dont see any reason to try to collect airmiles if they have no reason/need/ability to then spend airmiles, as it is not a feature/benefit that fits their life style/experience

from my experiences of travelling the world and meeting people, many people have many questions.
EG 'yes its legal, but is it useful.. like is it 'money' where i can buy things from many places, or is it just like air miles/loyalty credits/shares that can only be used for limited things'

EG going to africa where by none of the villages accept bitcoin for products, there is no point talking about that bitcoin is used to buy products, as that just causes more questions with negative answers..

so before even going into lengthy speaches about how its an international and open currency, prepare to be asked about if its useful as a currency where you live by seeing if its even able to buy products near you

if its not useful as a 'money'(to buy stuff) near you, where you cant buy car fuel or food or goods near you, dont spend long trying to talk about it as if it is a open currency. instead tailor the usecase to some specific things local people can do with it

EG banking for the unbanked in africa or remittance or international trade

no one actually likes the utopian hope speaches of possible futures, they want to know what it can do for them now..
then once they are interested and see the real benefits NOW.... then talk about the possible extra's that could be possible

other things like .. well lets use the el-salvador thing
starting off by saying how bitcoin is a decentralised payment network that people own their own value and in full control... and the el salvadorians say, but bitcoin network fee's are high, so they use LN, and then they explain how LN is not full control as it is a different network involving locking up funds with someone else and using middle men to route payments and even after a payment is made its not settled that instant, and if you want to settle you need to ensure the partner your locked to does not abuse the contract.. suddenly people see LN is not bitcoin and bitcoin is not the payment system people promise when they are actually pushing them off bitcoin to use LN

I think all that you mentioned are very useful for that purpose, but based on my experience it's not that easy to learn about cryptocurrency in just a single session or encounter I've already tried it in my locality and only 20- 30 percent are interested to learn more about it. most of them are just ignore it and put it on hold because for them it's very hard to digest most of the information about cryptocurrency that's why they just ignore it.

To buttress the awareness campaign by each desiring individuals, one must have an evident proof to show forth in convincing people to believe and part of which is to have a specific location branded for your Bitcoin awareness campaign as people believe in result or something tangible they can hold unto before getting convinced, have your own website and do some proper documentation to validate your stance, have a good success record whereby you can make a reference with and lastly dont be a half baked bread because in making an awareness campaign, expect lots of critics, questions and challenges in which you must be in good disposition to providing accurate answers to.
