Bitcoin and it effect to our local community

[Belarge]

I would love us to share this idea, I have it in mind to introduce Bitcoin to the people around me, but I wish to ask, how do I go about it,

Do you think it will be of advantage or disadvantage to my community?

Are people in your community interested in Bitcoin? Cause that is how bitcointalk would benefit them. If there is interest and they are looking for a reliable means of learning about it, then you can try various means of introducing them to it, word of mouth, fliers, online circular among local digital communities etc.

Such approach would not be very effective and I can guess that a lot of them would either not be interested or not last a few days here.

My honest two cents is that there is no need marketing the forum to others. The admin does not run any ad campaign on other social platforms to attract users. You can try getting those you know personally and feel they would like it here interested, but a much wider audience would not be as effective.

The forum is full of information so that should make someone informed just by reading conversations in the forum especially if he knows how to use the search box which for a newbie you need to also teach to them.

Everyone has certain traits though. There are some people, regardless of all the tuts you explain, they tend to find other places for resources of information. I told my sister to register in bitcointalk if she wanna learn something and ask anything in the forum, but all she did was go to youtube and reddit.

It really depends...
Some communities have started using solar power to mine bitcoin and now they get money off that.
Some communities use Bitcoin as a coin and they can make payments without the need for banks.
Some came to bitcointalk to read/learn/understand what's bitcoin about and maybe invested some money into it (or into its mining).
However, people can come to bitcointalk and get caught into hyip scams, compulsive gambling or even altcoins (the list of examples is actually much longer) and lose money.
So, as I said, it depends...

Why do you necessarily need to introduce Bitcointalk to your peers? You don't need to shove Bitcointalk or Bitcoin in general down their throats unless they're actually interested in the first place.

And I sure hope you don't introduce Bitcointalk as a moneymaking platform because it definitely isn't.

Just give them a brief description about Bitcoin and emphasize it’s main feature then leave the rest for them to research for themselves. Spoon feeding them with a lot of info that available on the internet will just gonna make them more reliable to you rather than understand the technology by themselves.

It depends on what kind of community you have. It’s an advantage if you have an open minded community that willing to learn and disadvantage if the community you’ve got is very toxic. You will just be subjected to criticism and blaming once they lose money through Bitcoin even though you gave them a disclaimer. Choice is yours since you can freely enjoy Bitcoin investment without the need to disturb your personal life.

Your idea is a good one. Telling them about this platform is very much appreciated because this will do them good and advance their knowledge about bitcoin technology and  blockchain industry in general. It would be nice knowing their state of mind I really they are interested in learning or not so as not to  waste your precious time with the wrong people. You can just take through the platform for them to see, telling them about the rules and regulations governing each board, how to make post, appropriate boards for the post for which they want to post. Atleast all I have stated above can guide them through. Allow them to do the rest of the others by engaging in Research so as gti gain more knowledge about the platform.

This is very good idea. many newbie started their journey as a newbie and because of their knowledge and quality posting and today they are considered an essential part of this forum. if you guide your community in proper way then you will really help community to introduce Bitcointalk.

You should told community about How Satoshi start Blockchain and btc journey. some users interested in trading so you can tell them about how you can learn different trading basics here and can share their own idea also. beside this you can tell them about mini bounty, bounty,services so every interested user start journey according to their interest.

Do you think it will be of advantage or disadvantage to my community?

you can ask yourself about it, if Bitcointalk using has made a good impression on you and you believe that using Bitcointalk proved useful for you and you have learned well here then it will also useful for your community.

There are no disadvantages that I can recognize when you bring Bitcointalk to your locality. Be careful not to introduce any greedy features that could later become problematic. Everyone is welcome to learn here and share their knowledge. This is a place for learning. Thus, how you introduce yourself is essential. This forum serves as the crypto academy in our view, thus the academy won't be a disadvantage in any way.

[Ever-young]

Before you think about the bringing more people into the community, I will like to ask you how knowledgeable are you regarding this forum?
This forum is large and it's a perfect place for Bitcoin lovers, they will learn more, how to start and how to prevent some certain mistakes that will lead to fund loss.

The answer to your question: it will of advantage to the people you are about to introduce because they will learn from experience members and expertise in there respective Field.
It could also be a added advantage to the forum when they come in with full sincerity nd showcase there talents and specialty.
They can also be harmful to the forum if they come in with bad intension and flood the forum with cheap post, which they will probably not last long.

I'm a new bie too, I don't really know much about Bitcoin, but I think with Bitcoin,

 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,

But let's see the OP's posts. One might ask why newcomers who barely understand Bitcoin always feel that they have an obligation to tell the whole world about Bitcoin, that is, their society.
I have always assumed that the training should come from someone who can answer all my questions. O.P., are you ready for this? Maybe you still need to show an example of what you have achieved, and only after that can you start accepting the role of a coach. Sometimes our good intentions have unintended consequences. If you understand correctly, the phrase "cause good"

If you want to educate the people around you, sharing good ideas is what they need. In this way, we stop false information about Bitcoin and enlighten them from the doubts and too negative.
But expect opposing ideas and negative words from them. Because I will tell you that it was hard to convince people if they already have a bad experience like being scammed. You really need to be strong and extend your patience to handle them as this is not an easy task. And I suggest you having at least 1 person to accompany you to strengthen their trust in you.

Are you seeking answers on how to spread bitcoin in your local community? Since you do not know yet, I guess it also means that you are not ready.  Are you still new to bitcoin? If yes, just spend more time learning about bitcoin, its technology and features, how to keep bitcoins safe, and understand the basics of investing. Make yourself fully equipped with the knowledge and at the same time experience. You will feel it when you are ready to spread bitcoin knowledge in your community. Hopefully, you will do it for free. I hate it when some people are trying to exploit the innocents by telling them about the potential to earn big by investing in bitcoin but asking fees for their services on how to do it.

How did you get to know about Bitcoin? was it from your community or from somewhere else and now you want to take it to your community and how much do you really know about Bitcoin? Has any of your people spoken to you about it before? IMO I would say even if none of them know about Bitcoin, it wouldn't be a bad idea to talk to them about it but you must understand what it is all about and not just that this is the new way to quickly make money.

If do not ask, do not tell them. People often abuse free information and may take it for granted because it was given to them on a platter of gold. Just do you, develop yourself in the bitcoin space and mind your own business. If they approach you or show interest them by all means teach them.
While on the other hand, you do not need to introduce bitcoin to people around you if you notice they do not give a hoot about it.

I believe the purpose of the thread is to share Bitcoin knowledge to community to help Bitcoin exposure. I believe this is a good ideas specially if all of us will do same small act to help Bitcoin. This is a hard task but this can be easily by doing a powerpoint that contains summary and key feature of Bitcoin.

I experience sharing Bitcoin on my friend in workplace and I successfully convinced 5 of my friends that is now a Bitcoin holder because they became interested on the blockchain.

You can do it with the people who you are connected with mostly these days people are connected via social media so it can be more easy way to yell about Bitcoin but hey do you know everything about bitcoin before introducing it to others because if you don't really introduce it in the right way they might lose their money and it can taint you as scammer and bad soul forever.

Different peoples have different mindsets, so it depends on the people around your or your community. If your community peoples already know a bit about bitcoin, it would be easier for the people to believe in bitcoin.
Also, it depends on your status in the community, people won't believe a random person so first, you need to make yourself a strong personality in your community.

[JoyMarsha]

Including folks in this forum has no disadvantages. This forum is a tool for learning and understanding bitcoin. The people around you will benefit from your desire to introduce them to this forum.

Before you consider inviting members of your community to our forum, you should at the very least explain what bitcoin is and what they need to know about it. You can then introduce them to our forum for more information about bitcoin if they wish to learn more. Don't forget to explain the guidelines that apply here.

There's a plethora of choices to go for when you want to sell bitcoin's idea to the public. I find that the most effective way of letting people know about Bitcoin is through incentivized seminars. For instance, a guy from this forum set up a seminar about bitcoin and its benefits for his community's housewives, given the fact that these members are the ones responsible for managing money in the household. It was a success, and I only wished he gave those people a reason to come back by maybe giving them awesome trinkets that relate to bitcoin and have them follow up on him about their progress.

That being said, I think it will serve you well if you do the same. If you have a knack for speaking in public, or you know someone who does, this is the perfect and the most efficient way of letting people know about bitcoin.
