Educating people on Bitcoin for free

[sunsilk]

That will never be gone, that taboo on their minds about bitcoin will remain unless they start earning and owning bitcoin.

They don't have it and that's why they think that it's something negative and they shouldn't touch it by any means. But take it an example when they've become a holder of it.

For sure, they'll be one of those people that will defend it from the folks that have been the same as them before who are telling bad things about bitcoin.

Most people are afraid of what they don't understand and are also afraid of change, and it's human nature that we all blame at some point in our lives.
we all have missed amazing experiences or opportunities because we are not open to change or try something new, at the same time, this trait may have saved our lives too.
and the problem is not many people know the functions and advantages of bitcoin because bitcoin will be useful for those who believe in bitcoin, otherwise they will not care even if they do there will definitely be mistakes because it is not based on sufficient knowledge which ends up hating.
bitcoin will be just right for those who are self aware and aware of their amazing functions and benefits to them. Ignore those who don't care or hate because we will know that eventually they will realize as we know the popularity and growth of bitcoin continues to grow and develop.

And that's the right reaction for things that they don't know, they'll feel a need to get far away from it to set boundaries and since they don't have full knowledge about it. What they're willing to hear is all about the negativities that the others are spreading about it and that's making them more confident.

It's okay to not do new things because they've probably bad experiences in doing new things online.

I'm done ignoring those that have made fun of me when I've told them the opportunity that they can take for investing bitcoin earlier, yeah, that's before the bull run that happened last year.

I would not blame the newbies because they are misinformed.  I am aware how some people so hype some cryptocurrency new projects that it can make one to be rich,  it has much profits, with all this information newbies have in mind too that bitcoin can also make one to be rich , not getting to know that bitcoin is more about hodling.

That is why they are newbies because they don't take time to know more about Bitcoin and how it can help someone to improve in the areas of business or family in the community. Bitcoin is different from fiat money because government are the one that is controlling fiat money in a particular country. But Bitcoin is not control by any countries in the world, it can pump and dump at any season without taking any permission from the government before it can dump or pump.

I think the best free education on Bitcoin comes from having to use fiat for international transfers.  At least that's what I used to think when Bitcoin was being billed as a p2p payment network.  I have had plenty of experience waiting on international transfers for both work and personal reasons.  It's always a nightmare where you cross your fingers and close your eyes for a week and hope to have a happy ending that cost you a small fortune.  

Try ordering a product from Bitmain with a wire transfer at the same time as you pay with Bitcoin and you will never doubt Bitcoin's usefulness again.  

Exactly I try ordering a spare key to my car from Nissan and the key was to be shipped from abroad, even though I was charged high shopping fees for the order I still have to wait for 2 to 3 weeks for my wired transfer to get processed and it took another 4 weeks for my shipment to get to me and this experience led me to question a lot of things and how bitcoin could have provided a better faster option to the fiat currency. Most people who are aware of Bitcoin are no longer using the bank for international transfers anymore due to the delay and high fees Bitcoin can easily be used as a better alternative.

We know the benefits and utility but not always the case with fiat since wire transfers could neither be instantly processed but there are indeed cases which clearing out funds
does really take a lot of time which means that you would really be needing to wait a little bit further unlike when you do make use of crypto which it do really confirms out fast
which it could fasten up the transaction but the main question on here is that, not everywhere where merchants do accept crypto payments which make these things not to be
available most of the time.

We dont have any doubts about its utility since it could really do the job well but considering its decentralized then you could really expect that government
wouldnt just simply allow for this thing to flourish out.

I can remember back in the days when i used to mine ''Pi coin'' with the sole naive aim that it will someday have value, sell it and become a millionaire overnight, but never did i know it was a total waste of time, not until i met a friend who introduce me to bitcointalk forum where i must say has taught me everything i needed to know about cryptocurrencies. So in a north-shed, it is our duty as members of this forum to educate those around use that may have seen Bitcoin as an investment scheme where you could invest x capital today and get back 2x in few days, weeks or months, by telling them the risk involved and how bitcoin actually works. Because there are so much hype about Bitcoin on social media

Not totally an obligation because sometimes there are close minded person so if you teach those guys about this for sure they will give you a bad impression and maybe they will call you a scammer. For that I will just wait for people to come over me and ask about crypto then will teach them what I learn about it as well teach them the basic things on how to earn money from this.

[Rigon]

Of course, since I have learned Bitcoin, I will teach Bitcoin for free to everyone I have discussed Bitcoin with everyone in my circle of friends but I have not received any money from them yet.If I can educate a man on Bitcoin education, I can take his future one step further.There are many people who take a lot of money to teach people, but I personally don't like them at all.And especially I can't do it from anyone.If a person can be educated then that country can be changed.

I have heard about different types of seminars on Bitcoin in my area and they claim it is free of charge. But when one attend you would be told to pay for study material and a certificate to qualify you as a Bitcoiner. This has made many people avoid such learning platforms. Giving Bitcoin education for free is one of the best ways of inspiring and welcoming people to the Bitcoin space. The truth is not all your students or target would appreciate the message but some of them would see the opportunities Bitcoin offers and appreciate this priceless currency.   

[ChiBitCTy]

You’re right the biggest problem around bitcoin is people being lazy and not truly learning about it. There’s still a large majority or people who are “in to crypto” simply because they want to make money, but aren’t educating themselves like they would be and learning what bitcoin really is all about. I think a big issue is even those who are looking to educate themselves, may not know where to really look. I got lucky and found the right people who taught me properly where to go for education, but many will learn from random YouTubers and twitter “personalities” who really don’t understand any of this but command attention anyhow. I think this is an issue that really over looked personally.

indeed many seminars are held especially when bitcoin is a trending topic. but indeed in the end we were asked to make payments under any pretext. and I actually talked to a tutor who was actually not a cryptocurrency investor, but he held paid seminars, things like this that sometimes become a dilemma. I learned bitcoin from the beginning only from this forum and read news and shared with friends, and from that I think it is more effective because there is no tendency like what a tutor does. it's the same even though on youtube we can learn for free, but they also get income from the content

And that's the right reaction for things that they don't know, they'll feel a need to get far away from it to set boundaries and since they don't have full knowledge about it. What they're willing to hear is all about the negativities that the others are spreading about it and that's making them more confident.

Sometimes people believe too easily and this becomes a problem. They don't find out and read too much. So they only know at a glance and come to decide good or bad. That's what often happens around us. This matter is also what makes the crowd deceived and makes them desperate. Because they lost money. So it makes the image of everything related to the internet or online very dangerous and they try to avoid it.

Surface knowledge is a bad attribute in any society and most people who have kicked against Bitcoin and what Bitcoin stand for are all doing that because they lack knowledge, even though just a few percent of members of the society have basic knowledge about Bitcoin. But that narrative is changing now and people are becoming more aware of Bitcoin, in some countries where Bitcoin is already a legal tender such as El 🇸🇻 Salvador there are already Bitcoin institutions and academies, this is to educate citizens on the uses of Bitcoin and how to tap into the many advances of Bitcoin as an alternative currency.

those who are aware of what bitcoin is are those who understand how the bitcoin system works. Not just a digital asset but as a legal payment like in El Salvador as you said. Some people who really don't understand bitcoin and have bad experiences about bitcoin will find it difficult to wake them up, because in their minds bitcoin is a scam method that will harm them, even though they don't know what is happening to them. Bitcoin is like a double-edged sword that will give you advantages and disadvantages depending on how you use it.

In a thread very similar to this one, I spoke to people so that they take Bitcoin into account, it should be said that it is money, that it is money that can be worth much more as time goes by, but that it is necessary to invest, which is much more valuable than putting money in the bank, if you talk to people like that it's easier, I've seen it in Ecuador, when people are told that bitcoin is money that right now is worth 22,000 dollars but that in a few years or in a short time it will be worth 100,000 dollars, it changes their face and they become interested, that is where you should start, and the rest, the research is done by them, the important thing is to put the main idea into it.

[nullama]

You could encourage them to buy a real product using Bitcoin.

This is a store that sells socks and it only accepts Bitcoin:



In order to make the transaction they will need to learn how to deal with Bitcoin at a basic level, and it's also fun.

Bitcoin is the fastest growing currency that people ate getting to know . The first step of educating people about Bitcoin is not telling them to invest, teaching them how valuable is bitcoin.  Educating people about securing bitcoin wallet password pr seed phrase,  not sharing it will strangers .

I think differently, the first step before you educate someone about Bitcoin is when they're interested, coz no matter how much you explain how Bitcoin works, and all the basics if the person is not interested, he will most probably going to forget everything.
Now, the question is how do you make him to get interested in Bitcoin?
Well, show him a good result (your profit for example) or show him how convenient it is especially overseas transactions.
When you get his interest, that's the time you educate.

[coupable]

This idea was the slogan that I and a group of friends raised in 2017, to spread awareness about Bitcoin and Bitcoin technology. What hinders us the most is the Blockchain platform, which causes a lot of confusion for beginners to differentiate between Blockchain as a technology and the platform that uses the word Blockchain as its name.
Today, the matter has become more complicated, especially with the quality of service provided by a giant platform such as Binance, which includes many networks that are difficult for beginners to differentiate between them, in addition to the difficulty of defining the concept of a wallet. Imagine that you can withdraw and deposit bitcoins to and from the platform using several networks, including the Ethereum network. It is not possible to teach people to distinguish between all these complications, especially if this is for free.

decentralized global digital currency

This is exactly what bitcoin has come to offer and only the few who are ready to take the risk and enjoy the benefit thereof, I've seen some educatiing others about bitcoin only for them to gain traffic on their website, the only way to stay and remain secured in bitcoin and not on altcoins, using of decentralized exchange, now you can see how important is the words in quote, whereby on communicate and make transactions without any third party getting involved.

In my locality, this also occurs, and it is unfortunate that such groups offer free seminars but then charge the attendees for the materials.
Nowadays, with the development of the internet and social network, I think it will be better and more convenient when we can direct people to learn bitcoin from pre-compiled and free materials on social networking platforms like youtube.
