My Bitcoin Charity Work! FREE BITCOIN COLLEGE

[Wiwo]

The most challenging part of your 2nd charity work is how to keep them motivated.  It is quite easy to tackle courses, present stuff about Bitcoins, and feed them knowledge on Bitcoin.  But the more difficult part is how can you make them retain their interest in Bitcoin.  Probably you can insert some life-touching topics that will linger on their mind.  I believe you can make them hook up with Bitcoin if you can make them understand that Bitcoin can change their life especially if their family is struggling with finances.

So I guess you need not only define Bitcoin to them, but you should also teach them how to earn Bitcoin and how involving with the Bitcoin economy can change their lives.  Lucky we had compilations of these stuff in the beginner and help area. 

Motivation is a very vital aspect of teaching especially in a highly stereotyped industry such as Bitcoin, I have thought of that and that is the reason I will be teaching some of them how to invest and also trade Bitcoin with the necessary interest needed in various categories of the course and this will further lead me to introduce them to some online course and even to this forum since Bitcointalk is a place of vast resources with people of experiences and opportunities. I think that should keep them motivated.

OP, when you decide to teach bitcoin knowledge to everyone you know ^{[30 young men],} you are actually contributing to the early stages of spreading information about bitcoin to them, but are you ready to mentor them?

As a starting point for an introduction, I don't think you will be responsible for teaching them some technical knowledge of bitcoin because in reality you seem eager to guide them in the direction of investing and trading. Yes it's not wrong, but you also have to be smart enough not to take responsibility when they lose because bitcoin is a highly volatile asset.

I always appreciate people who get out of their usual way to be of help with the communities they are in and in so doing helping people who may have lost their hope of finding the necessary footing in our changing world. I am suggesting that you considered development type of programs where people can start to stand their own feet maybe involving some livelihood trainings either to add something new to what they are already doing or to enhance the things they are already into. You can even be partnering with people and organizations who are able to finance the projects of the people you are targetting. And involving cryptocurrency with the projects can be a good thing to see. Certainly, there are many ways we can be helping and uplifting people and I am glad that you are doing your part in here.

Great job, remote places really are hard to receive help from the government. I've seen rappers from the US giving help just as you with their water supply in some communities in Africa. That's a noble thing that you've done.
The second thing you've done, what tool you've given to the youth? I think basic education is already enough for them and give them an idea about trading but it is going to require them capital.

[Asiska02]

A very nice initiative you have here. Keeping the young youths educated about bitcoin and how it will be of help to them is the best thing that can happen to this generation and also make them free from lack of job opportunities from the government. If 30 young youths are well trained and convinced well about the benefits of bitcoin then the message is well passed and will be widespread. Imagine 30 youths telling and convincing at least 3 people each about bitcoin, then it will go a long way for more people to believe and learn about bitcoin.

It looks like you are working to get paid in bitcoins, did I understand it correctly? But at first, I thought you are helping someone else using your bitcoin because of the title of your thread but I like what you did on the second one because you are sharing your bitcoin knowledge to someone else for free and you started with 30 people already? dang that's a lot for just a beginner.

There are a few users in the forum that does that before but they only handle 3 to 5 people but later on that number grown a lot because it turns out to be a success, many people got interested then to learn bitcoin/cryptocurrency and the blockchain technology.

With the growth of bitcoin more people are interested with learning about bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. What he have done to the community is really appreciable. Teaching youth about bitcoin is a must, and when it comes to urban region people gets more opportunity. In rural regions our help is much needed and our member is doing it good.

I've taught few people, and that was in the past when the price isn't that high. They didn't show much interest, maybe now if they see the market they'll realise their fault.

My opinion and suggestions is that indeed, education is probably the most important of all. I have been trying to educate friends too but more at a personal level. But we need education at a more broad level. In my country, one of the political parties with representation in the parliament, allowed a few people to gather in a virtual meeting and discuss a little bit about cryptocurrencies. I was not one of them but the ones that participated did a good job showing that we need investment in mining (logistics mostly and incentives regarding energy prices) and also education to become part of the national education program somehow.

This was the first step I see towards education in my country. Other than that, me and some friends have been promoting and performing workshops on Bitcoin, economics, LN and other aspects we find important, depending on the public. We ave also been trying to speak to local smaller projects to educate them about Bitcoin as an alternative method of payments so that at least they know of them.

So, yes, education is probably the most important! Not only we get people to know about the technology as we also teach them the basics of the technology!

Keep up the god work and good luck!

Nice initiative OP, the second option is good and I will consider it to be better. Meanwhile, I have to reason the kind of environment you are leaving that will fetch you the attention of 30 persons willing to learn. Are you in anyway living in a tertiary school environment, because that is where you can get the attention of people.
In my neighbourhood, everyone is as busy as the bee. In the morning everyone goes to work and return in the evening. You do not know anything about your neighbours.

Teaching them, please don't give them the mindset that bitcoin is a get rich quick finance. Please remove their mind from earning so that they can learn.

Your advice suggestions are welcome on the second charity which is the training of young youths on blockchain Bitcoin education.

what advise are you seeking? when you are doing a charity training only and this does not need funds instead time and effort is what you only need.

What i can advise you is to try seeking other crypto person near your community to help you extend the charity works since this only for Internet knowledge and easily to spread on those target Youth.,

but also best to seek youth that really interested in this area and not just those youth that will  spare your time without any interest at all.

University students are very inquisitive and are at that stage in life where they are hungry for knowledge. When I was in the university, I told myself I have to learn other skills that can help me outside the things I was taught in school. I learnt baking, graphics and after service I learnt interior design. There were seminars back then in school by other young people where they taught students about digital markets, networking e.t.c. Those seminars were always packed.

Educating others is something that we should appreciate, even though the development of information technology is now rapid but still we need the right person to provide guidance to us, I have known crypto for a long time and at that time I was quite difficult to understand crypto because indeed only a few people know what crypto is, especially at the time when I knew crypto there was very little information that could be accessed because of the limited internet, I think what the OP is doing is quite a positive thing by educating other people about crypto, besides being able to providing a way to make money for them now, of course, their busyness in learning crypto will make them possible to stay away from negative things such as crime, gambling or drugs.

I’ve been doing free training and education about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies since 2018. Been roaming around the country using my own money for accommodation, travel expense and venue (thanks to the glory days of airdrops and bounties) to educate the uninformed and misinformed community. I even do private workshops for free as I don’t want to charge a single dime like the gurus out there. But of course, there are random blessings from the organizers and community as well such as voluntary donations, treating me for food, etc., without even expecting it.

You’re doing great work in your Bitcoin charity activities. Keep it up, spread the word, love what you do, etc.

When you work for the community without any monetary benefit, usually people are kind enough to help you. It is not very easy to devote your time to the knowledge and betterment of your society.
By the way, did you later get feedback from those people whom you teach, on how this knowledge has helped them succeed in life?

[Zanab247]

Good impact, it will eliminate the youths from poverty in the country . Those people that received the bitcoin training will never forget what you have done to them because anybody that has cryptocurrency knowledge has the opportunity to do well in the country than those that doesn't have the knowledge. This bitcoin training will also help the government to reduce unemployment from the county because it will help the youths to make more money from bitcoin investment.

Good stuff, remember, always document!

To add: hate being the guy pouring water on the blanket but you'd probably need to really identify who you want to train, not just 30 youths. Might benefit some people more to learn coding (I wish I knew it better) or even fundamentals of economics before getting into Bitcoin (the why is probably as important as the how).

Not that any kind of effort will go to waste! Just thinking back about past big projects that seem to have lost steam (training girls in Afghanistan, etc.) and perhaps they might have been a bit more sustainable with better targetting.

[Imran232]

First, before I start I want to seek your indulgence

<........................>

Second Charity Work

I have also decided to make a free Bitcoin training <........>

I really liked your work, and it is really appreciated. Well, it is not because of using bitcoin for payment, it is because you are working for good. What is really inspiring is As a bitcoin lover, when we use bitcoin someplace as a payment method or when we see someone using bitcoin for their work, it really feels great how bitcoin is spreading and how people like to adopt bitcoin. Though it is really tough to do in those countries where bitcoin is illegal or to someone who doesn't know about bitcoin and you are likely asking him to take payment in bitcoin, it is obvious we will be rejected for sure. That is why we should make people aware of Bitcoin by spreading and teaching others, and you are making a very good decision by teaching others for free. Then when they teach others, and then they teach more and more, that is the way it will spread. I really liked both jobs.

[Oluwa-btc]

Great Great idea OP, it's good too see this from you, a whole lot believes in paid information and this  information who want to encode is being paid for in some areas, a big applause coz a whole lot are hoarding information about this.
Hope you get everything in other and get this knowledge across to the kid's, I'm.down for this, I wish I can help in this but it's cool.
Still look for ways too do same over my ends.

Maybe yet perhaps not! Locating the right audience for this project has been the major challenge for me right now, as most of the youths that have shown interest I discovered are not motivated to learn and gain the knowledge but rather want a quick way out of the financial brouhaha. My most interest is in the sustainability of the program to give a long term solutions to the knowledge bankruptcy in the youth on cryptography.

Nobody will be against your desire, maintaining of community social amenities is fine. And you got the money from bitcoin fine. And if your government does not permit for exchange of bitcoin and trading of bitcoin what will be your point to defend yourself if government come for interrogation? The one i picked most is teaching people blockchain, because every one can see that as knowledge exchange to the young once. But rehabilitating the government project with bitcoin when bitcoin is not signed to your locality as legal tender i can't support that and it will bring problem
