Introducing bitcoin to local communities/villagers

[JoyMarsha]

Before introducing your community members to bitcoin trading, you first launch an awareness campaign for them on the basis of bitcoin before trading. It can be challenging to promote trading to people who are unfamiliar with bitcoin (newbies).

The least you can do to assist your community members after lecturing them about bitcoin's fundamentals is to show them how to invest, hodl, and have enough patience with their bitcoin investments order than trading. Bitcoin investment, albeit risky and preferable to trading, is where they should start. You shouldn't attempt to teach them about trading right away.

We commence teaching with practical steps with those who have android phones, interpreting it in our dialect for everyone's understanding. From the pictures you can see mother's, father's, children and youths came there but our target is for the youths to understand digital trading system that requires no formal education and it's was greats. We want the parents to encourage them and support them with the little money them make from farm product sales.

Did you teach about trading?
Wow, they are beginners and you have been teaching about how to trade. I think that it is too early, dude. Moreover, trading is a high risk, do you also tell them about the risk? I actually appreciate your effort to introduce Bitcoin to your local community. but, you must also be careful on the explanation or information to tell to them because crypto is always involving high risk. From the explanation, we may not deny that finally there are some people who are willing to trade Bitcoin. But because they don't really know the ways, they will probably ask you more every time doing trading, and also trading without any understanding or knowledge. You know this is gambling, not trading. However, if they don't realize the risks they will probably spend.

It's good for you to spread bitcoin literacy, but if I think back that it's intended for areas that are too poor as you said, maybe you need to not only talk about bitcoin because basically it's possible for them to just eat hard let alone to buy bitcoin or invest, maybe you should also provide other stimulants in the field of science education and some skills application to earn more decent money in your area. we have to be really mature in guiding them in bitcoin trading literacy otherwise a bad possibility will happen because of their ignorance in doing it and getting profit, but in my opinion it's better for you to dig deeper before finding questions that you can't answer in the field and make shame on you.

I appreciate your teaching in your village about bitcoin it was difficult to teach them because of their situation, but I  don't think bitcoin is really what they need especially in times like this. I mean for someone who doesn't have or cannot afford smartphones I don't think they should learn bitcoin because we all know that bitcoin is a risky investment if you're going to start to teach them bitcoin at this point where they think that it is the thing that will rise them from poverty I don't think so. That just means that if they fail on bitcoin of their funds or money is gone as well since they depend on everything on bitcoin.

For me what these people need is a job or skills, bitcoin is an investment and they can't apply what they learn if they don't have funds to invest, also you should just invest a small percentage of your money because it's always a gamble.

[S A KHAIR]

Bitcoin cannot help people get out of poverty because investing in bitcoin requires money, and I doubt people who have to make a living every day can invest in bitcoin. Moreover, bitcoin can also lose us money, so there is no guarantee bitcoin will help your local villagers out of poverty.

Taking a Bitcoin class to educate others is a good thing to do out of having passion for others to have a means to learn about Bitcoin especially those in the rural setting but from what I can see on the pictures displayed by OP, am not convinced enough that this actually had to be a Bitcoin class because nothing here is showing or speaking about Bitcoin than the traditional dance held during on local community gathering, moreso much of this kind is getting too common from newbies these days.

I don't believe we should be stressing people in the rural areas, they have enough things to worry about like how they're to eat, get good drinking water and medical treatment etc. Teaching them about Bitcoin might be unnecessary since they might not even have an electronical device like a laptop or mobile phone to use in accessing the wallets.
I'm not even sure they have an internet connection in those areas. Looking at how they're dressed a d looking, we shoudn't be bothering them about how mess up the world is because to teach them Bitcoin, you have to make them understand how useless the traditional currency is. People I'm the rural areas should be left alone to enjoy nature.
Take your educational activities to the urban areas where people will be looking for an alternative to the system they're currently using since they're already seeing the system been broken and too centralized.

It's hard to see someone who has the burden of others and go as far as seeing that the burden is lifted off their shoulders, nice one op, you're a really good person, a force...

This is going to come with alot of challenges esp making them understand the whole process, I hope you're ready??

[RockBell]

Making awareness is good, but first, you should have thought about the understanding of the people you taking the awareness to not everyone will eventually go into bitcoin, the best thing would have been to select interested people that are capable both in finance... and knowledge, given the basics not a bad idea at all then you can also increase in gathering and learning more about bitcoin it will be of use to both you and your locality but starting from trading is too sudden not all will be able to handle especially emotionally.

What the OP is doing, in my opinion, actually has good intentions to improve the economy of the people around where OP lives, but in my opinion, the way she does it and his understanding of Bitcoin are still not quite right.
OP hopes that the people in his place can be successful and improve their economy by trading Bitcoins. I think this is a very inaccurate understanding. Bitcoin investment or trading will not quickly recover their economy.
In reality it will not be that easy to succeed in investing or trading Bitcoin.

It's good that you like your community to be knowledgeable in crypto,but it is too risky to start investing even trading if you don't have stable source of income or job. It is better to establish job first that can hire the people in the community and teach them the value of budgeting and saving.

What you say is absolutely true, in my opinion, the conditions experienced by the community where the OP lives are more important to focus on increasing their job or income before suggesting and introducing them to try investing or trading crypto.
Because it's true that if you introduce investment or crypto trading to the public, but those people don't have a stable income, of course that will make it more difficult for them or maybe even lead them in the wrong direction and add to their burdens of life.
I hope that OP can gradually improve the economy of the community and maybe have to focus more first on creating or initiating a business, for example maybe OP can create a business that also empowers the surrounding community such as making any innovation to be sold so that people who engaged have a better income.
Then after the community is a little more prosperous, then gradually introduce them to the concept of investing or saving, only then introducing cryptocurrency.

I hope that the OP will be more careful and wise in introducing Bitcoin so that his good intentions do not backfire against himself.

It is better to establish job first that can hire the people in the community and teach them the value of budgeting and saving. Once their earning it is the time for them to learn how to invest and to trade knowing that even if the market isn't in good contion they will still have money to spend for their needs since they have job and savings.

Trading and investing are good, but it will be more fulfilling for them if they look for a stable job first and then with spare money, they can decide whether to invest or trade. Though I appreciate your effort in making your community aware about bitcoin and the benefits people can get from it, but if they decide to invest or trade quickly because of greed, eventually they will regret their decision in the end and live at their loss. It’s important that they will gain sufficient knowledge and skills first before investing or trading, and they should have stable source of income first before they start engaging in bitcoin.

Just as stated earlier, our targets was for the youths to learn about BTC investment basically. The gathering you're seeing is not for professional teaching. That was our first time there, we only came to do introduction and briefly asked permission of parents to encouraged their children to learn about BTC investment. Since we came with visitors who know more about BTC, we ask both our parents to come and pay briefly attention on the preliminary aspects of what we will come to do next time. We are there for the youths but we needed the parents to give support to their children.

Because people misunderstood the whole concept from the beginning and start judging from there. No professional teaching was held only introduction of what we want to do. Thanks

what you are doing is a good thing OP, but my question is why didn't you choose a better and more conducive place to do introductions and ask permission from parents to encourage their children to invest in Bitcoin?.
you have already obtained permission from the elders there, you should be able to take more advantage of it by providing a more appropriate place to talk with the parents and youth there. Instead of asking them to gather in an open and unconducive place like that, you better gather them in a conducive place like in a room.
regardless of you saying it's an ordinary introduction and there is no professional teaching. but if you want parents to believe in and encourage their children to learn about Bitcoin you should be really serious about thinking about more detailed matters such as the comfort and conduciveness of the gathering place so that the goals you want to convey can be effectively conveyed and received by good by them.
you have received a lot of good suggestions and criticisms from members in this forum, if you are really serious then you have to fix your way in the future.
good luck for you.

Or those who have knowledge of management and programming may look for a career path that Bitcoin Industry offers.  This way they have more variation on how to take advantage of the opportunity Bitcoin industry brings.

Getting a stable job and do investment or trading is really the best move because it not only establish our source of fund, it also create a stable living for us and our family.  Remember Bitcoin Industry is not only trading, or investment, there are also vocational and professional careers included on its economy.

The crypto community appreciates your service hope you find the strength to keep going spreading the word , but just a few questions...
Bitcoin and all other altcoins are based online..have you considered engaging internet service providers,or probably a few people in that community that can provide gadgets to access the internet via hire purchase to them or something... because onboarding crypto users carries more weight if you are  practical about your objectives than just talking to them without having the real feel of how cryptos work.

As some sort of demonstration on how its done which it is really true on what you had said that it is really that hard to hook up people to believe about it if they werent been able to experience for themselves.

considering that this is a community where everybody almost doesnt really have a mobile nor have the access on net then its understandable that it wont really be that much effective on what you are trying out to pursue on what you do have in mind.
These kind of acts are really that commendable but its not something that we could assure that it would be effective or it does works.

True. I suggest you educate the people first before you convince them to invest or trade. And never let them invest or trade for greed, they will surely regret later on. Also, if they don’t have stable jobs that can provide their main source of income, how are they going to invest or trade? It’s a very risky decision to convince people about taking advantage on bitcoin when they have no knowledge at all, and they have no stable source of income that will finance in their bitcoin investing or trading.

Folks, my village is too poor and local, no beauty, no good living. Each time I remember them, I shed tears because nothing enticing about us. Our father's need help, our mother's sold leafs and fruits for survival, children are unhealthy, youths are uneducated and jobless, there is no good communication network in my communities, government never cares about us, is been ages of living like the bushmen and massacre.

I've being thinking about what to do, am not a politician, I don't access to money and power to change anything. So we came up with an ideas about a year now, me and some old graduates doing nothing. That before we vote any politician into power again, there must be a network communication system in our communities, by God we achieved that last year on our effortlessly ideas. One particular network was initiated.

But since we have network, the standard of living is still the same. Though villagers start buying cell phones, android and all. I thought it wise to go and introduce bitcoin trading system to them, we were given the permission by village elders, we pay town cryer to go round the village and beats bell drum and passed the message for everyone to gather at the village square and the turn up was amazing, unexpected crowd because we invited some city friends who into crypto as gurus and villagers love to see people from city how they look like.

We commence teaching with practical steps with those who have android phones, interpreting it in our dialect for everyone's understanding. From the pictures you can see mother's, father's, children and youths came there but our target is for the youths to understand digital trading system that requires no formal education and it's was greats. We want the parents to encourage them and support them with the little money them make from farm product sales.

I promised the communities to do this with them as many times as we can to enabled everyone learns something outside education. Believe me folks, anybody can touch lives with your gifts, skills and talents. Everybody was following and celebrating as a new light of the village.

God is awesome.

I know your intention is good and it is to help them earn,
But have you think of the effect?
What would happen if their investment or trading didn't work?
Instead of gaining they could lose those money that they worked hard just to trade?
It is better to let them learn and show them the risk it doesn't always end well in trading, not all of us are meant for it.

Don't see a bitcoin banner or any video which can point out that the agenda of the meeting is all about bitcoin. Maybe this is another village meeting for another village need and you just randomly add bitcoin at the topic which is still good to introduce, but make sure you introduce it to them very well and they not create any false hope on their mind that they can easily get rich easily with it since it might cost them huge financial lose if they commit a mistake on their investments.

Exactly my first take of this topic when I saw it, I can't actually trace any proof or anything that actually points out, if truly you are actually lecturing bitcoin here to these people but nonetheless is still a wonderful idea but I think you should go extra with More details so as to tell the forum users or community that you are truly teaching bitcoin. I have come across many folks do great work similar to this in their locality and its good to see the rapid spread of bitcoin. I myself is cooking some big plans to massively create awareness of bitcoin in my hometown and since am fully aware of the advantages is only good and proper for me to share with everyone the knowledge or guide them to way to financial freedom.

I think, truly admirable that you and your friends have taken the initiative to bring positive change to your community. It's not easy to make a difference, especially when you don't have access to resources or power.

However, I do have some concerns about Bitcoin trading in general. While it can be a lucrative investment opportunity, it's also quite risky and volatile.

I mean, introducing a bitcoin trading system is a really innovative idea. It's great that you're helping to educate the youths in your community about this digital trading system. It's a skill that can help them earn money and build a better future for themselves.

I hope that you and your team are providing the villagers with a thorough education about the risks involved and the importance of responsible investing.

Introducing Bitcoin to local communities and villages can have its own set of benefits and challenges. On the one hand, this can provide opportunities for financial inclusion and empowerment, especially for those who may not have access to the traditional banking system. It can also facilitate cross-border transactions and potentially increase economic activity in the area.

It is important to note that Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies can be volatile and risky investments. It is very important to educate individuals about the potential risks and benefits of using Bitcoin for transactions.

And the work you do with introducing a Bitcoin trading system may require significant infrastructure and technology support, which may not be available in some communities in the form of introducing a mobile banking system or other digital payment platform that is more accessible and easier to use for those with access to technology. limited.
