My first sponsored Bitcoin seminar

[glendall]

congratulations on the success of your seminar,

View of your goal makes this seminar on point
To educate people about what Bitcoin really needs.
what is there you  tell to your community?

as we know most people only provide the side of the benefits without providing risk information that can occur at one point in the future, and I hope you don't give false hopes to your community even though we know bitcoin has proven its capabilities in the last 10 years


can you share your seminar material here so we can also learn more about bitcoin

Original Poster, a lot of users are already making emphasis on what Bitcoin materials was passed across, it will nice to share if you see this.

I hope you threw more light in the aspect of the usage of Bitcoin and the importance and what benefits it give's them that banks don't.

I appreciate you for the little you have done, but do well to share as there is nothing wrong with that you stand a good chance to be guided and given proper corrections on whatever you have haven't done well. The feedback and questions from the audience also can be shared just if you don't know the right answer to give.

Not sure where you got that, OP's screenshot even has a slide on "Bitcoin is not Blockchain" (and while I might not completely agree, or might agree more with "Bitcoin is Blockchain, but not only Blockchain", I think it's pretty clear the focus is anything but speculation/investment).
OP: who was the sponsor, and what was the context of this seminar, if the turnout was massive? Who, where? =)

He probably ellaborated that phrase on the seminar itself to avoid confusion. I had the same question on my mind. Well, I think OP made sure that his informations are correct. And that is why I've mentioned that a copy of the seminar would be a great thing to have; to correct misconceptions if there are any.

Trust me, it looks similar to a seminar that was held in my city. Pretend to explain about bitcoin and blockchain at first, then they tell you to invest. The room and presentation style are even more impressive in my town.

There is also the good side of such seminars, it is called awareness. Just because you are aware of btc and its benefits doesn't mean others are. I think the important part is impacting the right knowledge about btc to those who are interested, the investment aspect is by choice, if you havr no knowledge about it, you won't even consider to invest or know how yo go about it.

When I heard about Bitcoin for the first time, I didn't believe people who said it. After I tried to attend the Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency seminar, I decided that I would not believe the speaker. After I found various information about Bitcoin on the internet, I decided not to trust everyone I didn't know (in the real world) talking about bitcoin. You know what I'm sayin?

^{There are "expert" people to act like experts.}

yes, that may be true. speakers need to share their experiences with Bitcoin investment. including explaining how the risk is acceptable.
at least, some knowledge has been shared. they know Bitcoin and the development of Blockchain technology. it has been spread on social media and we can get it. but justification by experts is of course important. so that there is no distortion of information.
don't just invite people to buy Bitcoin. but teach them the risks as well. it will leave them to make their own choice to decide whether or not they want to enter.
those who attend the seminar, I think are those who have an interest in Bitcoin.

Usually, they are experts in business skills, and they are coming to get big referrals for big commissions, not to teach you about what Bitcoin really is. I've experienced it once, so I never liked it.

This is really a nice initiative. I hope this is free? and also I see a lot of people, I hope that they go in that seminar in their own will because if not we know that they will still not be continuing to learn bitcoin. Anyways thanks for doing this, and congratulations on that seminar I am sure it is a huge success, I hope that this will still continue or you'll be conducting part 2 on this as it would really spread awareness to those people who really want to get into bitcoin or they are just putting their money into banks.

[yazher]

Good job man, I hope they will be able to have a clear view of bitcoins and that's all thanks for your help because right now, we need people like you who explain it to them well and they will gonna understand it in a positive way since nothing like a Ponzi scam involves and surely, you already made clear to them about the important things of having bitcoins as your assets. There are lots of people out there who want to know about bitcoins from the right source and they cannot find some trusted individual to explain it to them because if they cannot really comprehend the English language then it would be hard for them to understand even though we have lots of videos on Youtube.

[Bushdark]

This is really a nice initiative. I hope this is free?

Yes, it was free because I personally decided to take up whatsoever it's going to cost me. I know this is a big opportunity for everyone that participated to enlightened them of what Bitcoin is all about and how it can help us to escape the vulnerabilities of holding and investing in local fiat currencies. The turnout was massive and many of them had to congratulate me for bringing Bitcoin to them in a simple and very comprehensive style. That was why I decided to make us of projector with so many materias they can read which I got from this forum.

I hope that this will still continue or you'll be conducting part 2 on this as it would really spread awareness to those people who really want to get into bitcoin or they are just putting their money into banks.

I have plans of conducting another seminar which will be an advance part of what I discussed about and where they can always ask questions to further their learning.

Might I ask, where they informed on the use of cold wallets? Because this would eliminate any fear of their coins being stolen once it has been purchased.

Although I couldn't emphasized on that as I was supposed due to many reasons but I talked about wallet and what is required to have a wallet and other things. We have seen so many complains about hacked wallet due to different vulnerabilities both from the recipients and the core project team. One of the things that guaranteed out safety is having a suitable wallet like the cold wallet, that will be more difficult for hackers to penetrate. Thanks 👍 for this and I will throw more light when I initiate something like this again.

Thank you for spreading knowledge, but random sources from the Internet may lead to incorrect information, why not ask us to help you prepare a presentation, we will give you better sources and discuss the information to simplify it and make sure it is accurate.

Wow I'm delighted to have a great support senior forum members always ready to help me out. Initially I thought of asking questions here on how to go about the seminar and the materials I could have used but I knew it will bring a lot of bone of contention that could discourage me from achieving this. If I had drop a post here for everyone perspectives, the ideas from ramdom bad posters could halt my interest but not withstanding I will give that a try in my next endeavours.

I did the research myself both with many random educational posts I encantered here and outside here to make it up. I also never bothered to disturbed anyone's dm for materials because I don't want to get tagged for unsolicited dm. Doing this alone took a lot of my time but still look strong with the help of your posts.

Hahaha, I am very happy to steal from your past ideas and posts that had given me the confidence to walk like a pro Bitcoin investor. Expect me in your dm anytime soon for ideas and materials that would make my future adventures quite easier 😊😊

Teaching people about Bitcoin is great, but teaching them badly or giving them incomplete information can create the wrong assumptions in their minds.

Hmm, you are right boss 👍
I read many materials here, even from Satoshi before choosing the actual words to use to complete the material.
To limit my writing, I will consider more scrupulous attempt from you in my next endeavour. I choose learning from you guys 😊

I initially didn't notice the words "random sources" when I read the discussion. But the quality of information will greatly depend on what materials have been used to make the presentation.  

I also considered your random posts before now. 👍

[livingfree]

Which I think that he's doing it but for on the otherhand, there probably be minimal mentions about it as investment and other finance stuff.

Obviously I have zero idea if OP did good or bad with his seminar, but you'd be surprised how much bad presentations there are concerning Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. I've seen some that focus too much on trading/investing.

I agree.

I've seen those bad presentations that they think they should share it without thinking it first of how vast the knowledge they've got. I think it's all about being excited for those people that I've seen and they have the thought to share it to the others.

Otherwise, they have that pure intentions, hopefully those and the same what OP has did.

[Asiska02]

OP You've done exceptionally well and contributed your fair share of bitcoin dissemination to the world. It is now up to those whom you have instilled knowledge in to take the appropriate action when they are fully prepared to enter the bitcoin world. Joining bitcoin requires a great deal of courage, patience, and understanding in order to flow with the market's volatility. They should take their time, join when they are ready, and conduct additional research to increase their understanding of it.

[kryptqnick]

It's always inspiring to read stories like this and see that this community has very proactive people who work on educating people about Bitcoin. I guess many felt conflicted about the word "sponsored" the op used, but from op's reply on this point it seems that it is sponsored in a sense that op sponsored the event (purchased the necessary materials and equipment for it). That's a great act, really.

We don't know on what aspect he did the seminar, but it shows the active involvement of our forum users into spreading the word of bitcoin. For what reason the participants joined the seminar, we don't know. Somehow through the seminar they would've got some awareness and the need of bitcoin. Good that OP done everything himself for the event which is being misunderstood by some members.

Do not expect. I'm pretty sure it's the same as many other seminars. Yes, I underestimate this kind of seminar. Very few photos of the subject matter are published, is one sign. Another sign? Check this out:

I see it as a burden to me when people keep investing and holding fiat even when inflation keep rising without having a better alternative to invest their funds. Fiat keeps losing value with more threts to employees. We all know that Bitcoin is very volatile and this had been keeping the price to fluctuating creating the overbought and oversold gap. I see a great fortune investing in Bitcoin which was one of the reasons that complelled me to keep advocating about Bitcoin so that people could see the light.

Bitcoin investment, investing, investor, invest. And again:

Get paid with Bitcoin and pay with Bitcoin. Focus into that and you will be fine. If you instead go for "get rich quick" rhetoric, it won't do. Unfortunately it is the latter that attracts more.

The fact that you can actually preserve wealth with it should be seen as a bonus, but its not the main purpose.

Yes, it’s the notion that you could get rich overnight that mostly attracts people to the cryptocurrency space and sadly, some folks with nefarious and criminal intent are just waiting to eat all those ignorant and mostly greedy folks up. Get paid and pay with bitcoin sounds more better and is a more better approach to teaching newbies about bitcoin.
It’s not possible to get rich overnight with bitcoin and I dislike the fact that some folks see bitcoin as a get rich scheme and not as an alternative and somewhat better means of payment.

Bringing people together is not an easy task especially passing information from one person to another about your thought. This was something I had been planning for more than three weeks to make sure that all necessary things is out in place for positive. I worked hard for this and I was much happy that it turned out successful.

Currently I had been receiving invitations from few persons to help them through there journey of getting full acquainted to the Bitcoin world. This is my passion to get the news across large number of audiences around my region. This is just my first attempt, looking like I was not good enough based on random views from here and I'm still strong to make it more bigger and better.

[Bazzu]

what you did was very good, but did you tell the risks when investing in bitcoin, ( namely the risk of profit and loss).?.
 but what you do is extraordinary, because it has explained the benefits and uses of bitcoin. indeed we need to carry out these activities, namely with the aim of helping everyone's economy. and actually I can also get to know bitcoin because there are people who teach bitcoin to me. and for beginners in bitcoin, of course, it requires detailed lessons about bitcoin, so that you don't experience losses, because everything without knowledge will surely be destroyed.

[bitterguy28]

congratulations for your first Bitcoin Seminar mate , most of us dreaming to become one but lucky that you come first , we bitcoin supporters are looking for this opportunity to be part of the spreading market , and with these kind of act we are adding people to believe and invest in bitcoin , added that they may continue the spread and will let their family and friend to do the same as they are. thank you for this initiative mate , really helps market a lot.

I love the threads here that show local stories of how Bitcoin is becoming more known and accepted as payment by people. These stories are often from Nigeria (I don't know if this one is from there or from a different country), and that formed a very positive impression of the people of this country for me. I believe people are right that you shouldn't focus on the price side, and I'd also recommend browsing the forum for threads of previous similar events hosted by forum members (here is just one example). Some even had screenshots or lengthy descriptions of what they were talking about.

This proves that bitcoin has got a lot of interested users and investors, but it only takes awareness and promotion so that the people around will start acknowledging it and appreciate it just like fiat’s value. While this could be very helpful to combat inflation, then it’s more of a reason that people should save and invest into bitcoin and prepare for the huge profits in the future.

Congratulations on your first seminar, I really see this as an encouragement to me, because this is really something I love, I love teaching and sharing positive knowledge, seeing this from you now has really inspire me,
And I will say this,
 when I have gotten more knowledge on Bitcointalk (Bitcoin) I will sure try host a seminar and share my knowledge too, because have been wanting to do it ever since,
