A friend of mine who is also a fashion designer like me has start accepting bitcoin payment yesterday, she is one of the very few that I thought about Bitcoin in 2021and she is also an investor in BTC and few other coins and after paying me a visit and saw that I have started accepting Bitcoin payment she decide to take the same route.. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FfIyp9C2.jpg&t=665&c=UNG4W9ANWG14vA) She did very well because she added her wallet QR code which I scanned myself and I work, way better than mine but yeah I've decided to upgrade mine this weekend. Some people are even showing more interest in Bitcoin in my City, I am thinking of hosting a seminar about Bitcoin but I want to make sure I invite the right people, have anyone hosted a BTC seminar before? Any good advice on this?

Any good advice on this?
- focus on tech and use-cases - don't focus too much on price, the investment side, and especially on the trading side - at the end of the "seminar", give them some reading materials - and best of all, make sure you're giving them accurate and legitimate information Some good education materials in my opinion: * If you like reading articles: https://coindesk.com/learn * If you like reading books: https://theinternetofmoney.info/ * If you like watching videos: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPQwGV1aLnTuN6kdNWlElfr2tzigB9Nnj

have anyone hosted a BTC seminar before? Any good advice on this?
First of all I would like to congratulate you and your friend for making this bold move and accept bitcoin as payment for the business and want to ask are there sufficient customers who are happy to pay with it? See I have not hosted any seminar before but you could find some threads on the forum and you can simply check out them like this one making google search which can help you to find some of the answers Bitcoin seminars bitcointalk But will say you should be having basic knowledge and technical part understanding also to explain it to the audience to make better understanding to them and target audience will be dependent on you and explaining the benefits of btc to them will help a lot.Rest host one and you will gain experience for the next one's.

You are a good ambassador of Bitcoin, you should keep it up but must do the follow-up as well which is more important to me than awarenesses like this. You have started the work, yet mentoring them on it is better since they would indeed be faced with some issues along the line, you need to learn more about the challenges and discouragement that people might have, particularly the business owners adopting it, and make sure you proffer possible solutions to them even before it arises.

before doing a full seminar(requires spending to rent space, and organising event) do a small "meet-up" such as a informal chat with locals at a cafe/bar EG put up posters/spread the word/gossip with people that you will be at X drink establishment(or your own business/shop) between [time suitable] each day a certain week for anyone to pop in and have a chat. where you can gauge the interest and discuss things they may want see, or may be of interest for them to hear if there was a bigger seminar. ask questions, answer questions. gauge the interest and the mood. find out what they want to know and then formulate something that will meet their expectations to want to attend hint at things informally about ticket prices (gauge the local economy acceptance of how much is acceptable) and figure out how many tickets to offer and thus what amount is needed to cover overall organisation costs.. find out who locally is "expert" in topics. or runs businesses and work out who is good enough to be spokes-people or who from your chats local people want to see as spoke-people in short meetups if popular, become seminars, which if popular become regional conferences, which if popular become national conferences

Thanks for the advice, this was why I opened a group chat on WhatsApp for us to discuss about Bitcoin and about any possible challenges they are facing, since ive been into Bitcoin since 2017 I have seen a lot and make some mistakes, I was able to stand on my feet and still keep supporting Bitcoin, not many people can do this that's why I stay in touch with everyone that I introduced to Bitcoin, so far it's fun and addictive, I can't wait to see what the future will bring.

- focus on tech and use-cases - don't focus too much on price, the investment side, and especially on the trading side Tech itself is sellable idea to show to the public because its use case is outstanding and they can use this on their daily transaction. Very wrong to introduce this as investment especially to those people who doesn't know about this since it will just create wrong impression and instead they get positive result they might get scam by multiple platforms or even get a wrong move upon buying on wrong position. Worse he can be called MLM scammer for introducing this especially to those people who's been skeptical about this program.

You must provide a comprehensive understanding of bitcoin and the technology and processes that underlie it, and you must have a good knowledge of the basics of bitcoin and provide explanations that your members can easily understand and absorb. and if they have interest, advise them not to invest more than they can afford to lose, and for starters, make small purchases gradually so they can learn it and understand it on their own once you give them good knowledge. and the most important thing for me for them is, instill patience and also faith in them about bitcoin because both are very important that will continue to be faced along the way. I wish you success and you have a good initiative and it is also important to introduce bitcoin to those who have their own interest, because what I mentioned above I did for my family and also some friends who have a passion for bitcoin, and succeeded. It depends on how we explain it properly and easily understood, and one more thing. Tell them about the profit you get, as well as what you get for the bitcoin yield while you are involved, it's all just to motivate them.

Agreed to @franky1.
I can speak from experience as both an artist and the administrator of our local art group when I say that organizing a full-fledged seminar is quite taxing as you have to consider the venue, find keynote speakers, the entrance fee as well as the bonding of the group itself.
The same is true when hosting a technical presentation on a topic like bitcoin. A base group of people who are genuinely interested in the technology, who get along well with one another, and who have the same goals is necessary for any seminar. You may easily find individuals who are incredibly knowledgeable about bitcoin, whether in the technical or financial aspect, after the group has grown to such a size through informal meetups where they can communicate with each other to grow as bitcoiners.
Additionally, you can estimate how much the event will be in demand.

Yeap, but the drawdowns should be clearly stated as well. Bitcoin is great and all that, but a lot of people can't financially handle all that volatility.

Now that a good friend of yours has adopted the acceptance of bitcoin for payment of her services it will be perfect if you go further in helping her understand the necessary steps needed to maintain this, she also need to understand the volatility in bitcoin, bitcoin wallets and how to secure her wallet keys from public, she also needed to ensure the confirmation of every transaction before acceptance of deal been made.

Definitely focus on the use case. It's a first time seminar (I'd even try calling it an event where you can give away free satoshis to try if they are willing to use Lightning, let's say) just treat it like a show-and-tell. Send your friend the BTC. Show them how it's done.
And answer this question as much as possible: Why should I accept Bitcoin when my local digital payment is faster, free, and more widely accepted?
(A good way to start answering that is to say, accepting Bitcoin doesn't mean abandoning everything else, it just means opening more doors for a merchant)

oh and dont try confusing lightning with bitcoin they are 2 separate networks for separate niche/usages
bitcoin relies on a blockchain and bitcoins never leave the blockchain, bitcoin has no value limit bottleneck or middleman requirement to co-sign agree to operate as payment path(route)
lightning is a multi-currency token payment system(words with many currencies and works without any currency) with less security but is used for small amounts people dont care risking
silly people advertise lightning and people experience lightning . experience its multi channel locks needed to have multiple route to get most exposure to destinations. experience all the middle men possible bottlenecks. yes they experience payment event speeds of a few seconds for small amounts.. but then when it comes to using bitcoin they experience a whole different thing and then realise LN is not bitcoin and never was
be sure to define the differences

Applause to those who does but I don't see this as a requirement. At this point, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are still not on 'safe' state wherein new investors could fall at risks involved in this industry. Ofcourse seminars would help them to avoid unfortunate actions towarda this industry but risk will still be there regarding market price volatility. Given that not all people would be able to cope up with the downsides of this industry, I think inviting more people into this, is not yet advisable. Make them more knowledgeable indeed but it would be different to some people. Not all would cope up with the do's and don'ts therefore they'd still be at risk. The only time I'd advise this industry to non-crypto users is when price stabilizes.

Any good advice on this? If indeed you and some of your friends want to do a Bitcoin seminar it is a positive and good thing. Having a Bitcoin seminar can provide more insight and knowledge to someone who previously did not know what Bitcoin is and how to use it. We can also simultaneously provide knowledge of investing in crypto, especially in Bitcoin. It would be even better if the seminar was held in a place where there is very little knowledge about investing or cryptocurrencies.

Your friend has chosen the right part by following your footstep in accepting bitcoin as an alternative payment method in her business,this is quite encouraging. I hope you have enlightened your friend on how to secure her coin from hackers and not to use an exchange to store her bitcoin.
To have a successful bitcoin seminar you needs a lot of sacrifice from your side,you will need a good amount of funds for this and I hope you have put this into consideration, I was thinking of having a bitcoin seminar in my locality some time ago,but when I checked out expenses it takes to carry out this seminar, I saw that I don't have the resources to meet up.

It’s nice to see that you have been a good example to other people where you live. You must be doing well in your business if your colleague wants to join the bitcoin wagon. As for hosting a seminar, that’s a big thing. The cost of organizing a seminar is huge, you would have to cover the venue, sound equipment, snacks, drinks, other speakers (if you’re inviting any). I think you should plan on selling tickets, Africa is big on bitcoin and a bitcoin seminar would be packed pre-covid. That’s one way to do it or you could just do a webinar. Saves you the cost and all you need is a Wi-Fi.

More people believe in it, and are wanting to be the part of the change. It isn't an easy thing to understand and start accepting bitcoin into business when there is not much of people around using bitcoin. What is being done is the base and slowly this will make the vision of Satoshi come true.
The third party dependence will be reduced and educating the unbanked will create more space for the usage of cryptocurrencies. Looking the progress from the African people, it looks like Africa will turn to be a lead part in crypto development.

The steps that you and your friends are taking are good steps and should be appreciated. You have a passion to spread awareness about Bitcoin to the people around you. Making a seminar does look simple, but of course you have to have sufficient preparation. both in terms of material and in terms of delivery. Enticing people to attend your seminars is also an important step. More and more people attended the event. then believe me we will be more excited. but if only a few attendees sometimes it makes our spirits drop a little. But I hope you can keep your spirits up even if there aren't too many participants. I say this because that's the experience I've had.
Some tips that must be prepared so that the Seminar runs successfully are:
- Start making the concept and purpose of holding the seminar. And we have to focus on the concept and goals we have made.
- Prepare a relevant and interesting theme for the seminar later. Adjust to the needs and conditions of your environment. like the importance of knowing Bitcoin in this digital era.
- If you are the resource person, you must prepare the material carefully and completely. practice how to speak with interesting and not boring delivery. or you can bring in resource persons who are more expert in this field. But I think bringing in Special Resource Persons will require more money. So if you are confident with your insight. then there is nothing wrong if you and your friends become resource persons.
- Prepare seminar packages (kits) or seminar souvenirs. such as ballpoint pens, notebooks etc.
- the last step but also from the beginning is how to make a promotion to attract more people to the seminar that you will hold.
good luck guys.

It’s nice to see that you have been a good example to other people where you live. You must be doing well in your business if your colleague wants to join the bitcoin wagon. As for hosting a seminar, that’s a big thing. The cost of organizing a seminar is huge, you would have to cover the venue, sound equipment, snacks, drinks, other speakers (if you’re inviting any). I think you should plan on selling tickets, Africa is big on bitcoin and a bitcoin seminar would be packed pre-covid. That’s one way to do it or you could just do a webinar. Saves you the cost and all you need is a Wi-Fi.
Selling tickets? No, I don't plan on making it that big, I will start will max of 10 people for now, so there will be no need for sound equipment, snacks and drinks is affordable and yes my friend will be present on the day, I plan to use a very limited space for this so this shouldn't cost me a lot, thanks for your suggestion @CryptoPanda
