Giving out to promote Bitcoin

[Lida93]

Happy Easter everyone
Today I gave out $20 to 5 random high school students each in a WhatsApp group after of course enlightening them about Bitcoin and conducting a quiz for them I did this in hopes of trying to assist in developing the Bitcoin ecosystem although it's of small impact
I sent the Bitcoin to Thier noncustodial wallet and also enlightened them on how to manage Thier wallet
What do you think!?

This is what I describe as an expression of  practical love  as taught us by Christ our Savior and in the spirit of Easter commemoration is a good example. And it's very astute of you OP to choose this moment the spread the idea about bitcoin to the young generation of students. I hope you don't just stop here but still do some follow up with them to monitor their level of success in their quest to know more about bitcoin so they don't fall into scam schemes which may raise a wrong impression and  discourage their enthusiasm.
Good work mate.

Just want to ask were there more students also in that WhatsApp group or those 5 had taken any bitcoin course from your end? It is really good that you have sent them $20 in their non custodial wallet which will help them to keep funds safe but also tell them to have their seeds safe on offline backup to access funds.It is generous because you have given $100 to them but it would be valuable for them along with the knowledge they gain from Bitcoin understanding so well done.

Very nice plan you can do this and I think you must pay the rewards through Bitcoin.  And the quizzes will be bitcoin or crypto related. These small initiatives will help Bitcoin reach more people in this modern technological world. Your work is highly commendable.

It is a very good initiative to make students aware about Bitcoin. But since you give $20 to five random students, each student will get $4.  In this case, if you want to pay them via Bitcoin, you will be charged a $0.5-$1 transaction fee when you send that $4 to their Bitcoin address.  And when those students go to sell those bitcoins they will still be charged exactly the same fee.  So this fee may seem unfair as there are small amount transactions. But on the other hand if you pay it in fiat then they won't know much about bitcoin.  So you pay in Bitcoin it will help them to understand about Bitcoin practically.

op when he took this initiative to give bitcoins surely his intention is to inform students about bitcoins so he must inform students about bitcoins first and play various quizzes about bitcoins with them so in that case giving bitcoins to students will not be a problem. I think students will be happier with bitcoin than fiat because it is a new technology for them and they will be more interested in it.

If you really did so, that's really a nice idea, but you can't just come here to tell us you donated money to random people without providing providing proof, am sure just few percentage of people will really believe you.
After donating to the high school student, did you tell them what they should do with the bitcoin because am just must of them will sell the bitcoin immediately they received it or whenever they are financially down. You don't expect a student to be saving money when he is in need of money. But if you really donated the bitcoin, you have done well.

Donating bitcoin to students in highschool is amazing, but you need to enlightened them on the purpose of bitcoin and it's gigantic rewards if they could keep it for long-term because some of them will be panicked to sell their bitcoin when a financial problem arises. The fact is that you have done well for the students, it's a random appreciation for the Easter Sunday. However you making a point because very few will understand, this modern world, one needs proof because they've been blindfolded in the past. For me, I believe you, others will think you portrayed such a good frame-up story inother to collect accolades for your work.

[Oasisman]

What a nice way to celebrate the Easter Sunday by sharing your blessings. Hope your students will forever remember what you have done to them and hope it will be a good start for them to invest at a young age. If they learn how to save by putting their money in Bitcoin, they can probably raise a fund for themselves moving forward when they reach college level. That for sure every parents are wishing for their children.
Way to go sir! hope you can spread more knowledge and Btc to your students.

That's very nice of you, but I'm sure even if you receive a thousand compliments here in this thread they're still going to be doubt in the heart of those congratulating you or complimenting you for your doings because lately they have been threads out people achieving something or doing something with Bitcoin and at the end, it turns out that they are only fishing for merits, like in the case of this user Maxre.
I'm not asking for you to provide proof whatsoever but I think it's better to keep this to yourself, we have thousands of users here in the forum and a lot of them have been constantly contributing to the Bitcoin ecosystem and yet not a single thread has been created by them to announce their achievements.
But in the end, everyone does what he/she thinks is best.

Well, color me impresed! Witnessing individuals take initiative in advancing the Bitcoin landscape is downright delightful. Distributing $20 to high schoolers and enlightening them on noncustodial wallets not only fosters Bitcoin usage but also paves the way for a fairer, more inclusive financial structure.

But let's reach for the stars – Bitcoin's horizons are boundless! It's possible that one of those students might invent the next breakthrough Bitcoin app or conceive a novel platform. Alternatively, they could emerge as a Bitcoin trendsetter, introducing the concept to an even larger crowd. And hat off to the quiz – an ingenious way to gauge their grasp while fueling a desire for knowledge. By infusing interactive and alluring elements like this, you're rendering Bitcoin more user-friendly and delightful for all.

where did you find them? I mean, what group is in WhatsApp? Also, do you have proof by way of a photo of the transaction or any other kind of proof that you can show because people here want to see proofs?

Yes I think that's the first questions we should have asked the op, where and how did you find these kids? Did you meet them on what's up or you already know them before now. Cause I see no reason sending funds out to people whom you are not aquinted with. And you didn't even show any evidence or proof of any transactions you made. You did a good thing though but you should have at least educated them first, telling them more about Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies. Making sure they know fully what you are talking about. Moreover the kids will just have these funds in their wallets do they know how to use it? Or maybe convert it to fiat using p2p?

Also, if you are just making this up just to get some merit, let me just spit it out it won't work. Try been sincere and show proof of what you have done. Most people just want to post such topics so to get merits.
Once again happy easter and may the resurrection of Jesus bring a new beginning into our life's.

[lovesmayfamilis]

For sure, a lot of users here will be asking for proof, but before that, I would say that I hope there are a lot of people willing to do this just to give information to others, like giving knowledge to other people, as it is very useful for them, and for sure, one of them will be successful because of bitcoin. But again, I've just got a question: where did you find them? I mean, what group is in WhatsApp? Also, do you have proof by way of a photo of the transaction or any other kind of proof that you can show because people here want to see proofs?

What evidence?   We should be glad that the OP had the decency to lie about only 100 bucks, and not about giving each of the five people a yacht.
The most common fishing for merit. The OP is a newbie himself, I'm not sure if he himself understands correctly how to store Bitcoin. Such topics seem to be going viral, but the good news is that people who are ready to give merit have learned to distinguish lies from truth.

I recently purchased some Bitcoins butAccording to most posts and replies on this forum it seem the best way to hodl Bitcoin is to use a hardware wallet as long as you can keep it safe.
Well is the hard ware wallet better than a custodial wallet??

[jacktheking]

Was it 20 dollars in total? Or 120 bucks in total? Either way, it is very impressive of you to have done that. Pulling in five teens to join the crypto community and educating them on the right path. Hopefully, they will not be blinded by the gambling or casino side of cryptocurrency. And they will use Bitcoin and cryptocurrency as a normal method of payment. Respect mate!

[GiftedMAN]

What do you think!?

I think you did the right thing at the wrong time. It is right because $20 is enough to take care of a plate of rice and chicken depending on the country where the op is and the high cost of living over there, you will be appreciated if truly you did what you said here trust me your good work will never be forgotten. It becomes wrong if you come up here to talk about promotion of bitcoin without showing some sign of evidence it will be regarded as merit fishing even though it is not the intention of the op. Am not discouraging the op but you need to gather more information and knowledge about bitcoin before you can teach others and as a newbie unless you have the knowledge before coming here otherwise you need to focus more on learning.

[sunsilk]

That's nice by giving out $100 to random students. It won't matter whether it will give them huge or small impact knowing more about bitcoin. But that's a good heads up to them that they now own bitcoin and it's up to them how they'll take care of it.

Maybe the majority of them will spend all of it as soon as possible while a very few of them will think of saving more.

Nonetheless, there's the impact already and introduction to them of what bitcoin is and in short, it's money for them and for all of us.

That's a generous action you made. I hope it's not just a made up story since the thought of giving out something and also feeding them with knowledge would absolutely help those high school students in understanding and knowing cryptocurrency deeper. Spreading the knowledge and teaching them is generous enough but giving them a portion of bitcoin is just very rewarding for them and I believe will inspire them to collect more of it become a single unit of bitcoin.

Of course members here will expect for proofs especially you mentioned that you have sent on their non-custodial wallets. I believe that you can earn merit for posting those TX here  thus helping your account level up.

[The Cryptovator]

I'm uncertain whether you're being truthful, but if you are, you've done an excellent job. The sum of money involved isn't really the point; what matters is the effort you've put into embracing Bitcoin. By doing so, you've piqued the interest of newcomers who may be inspired to conduct further research. As these individuals are rewarded, they may in turn invite others and help spread the word about Bitcoin, thereby promoting its adoption. So keep up the good work and continue promoting the use of Bitcoin; you don't always have to give something away to do so.

[tjtonmoy]

You should have let the knowledge sink in a bit first. And anything that is hard-earned, is more precious than free ones. I am sure that some of them will get so panicked when the price will drop.
It is better to let them get the concept by themselves. That way, if they get interested in Bitcoin, they will come to you to acquire some. And this would've been the best time to give them some free BTC. I have seen this many times with some people whom I have introduced to Bitcoin and cryptocurrency. Those who have less interest in them will sell it in no time and use the money for useless shit.
You can make a strong HODLer/Bitcoiner if only they have the right mind to understand the full concept.
What you did was a good thing, not gonna lie. But I think this would have been better if you would do it this way. I respect your choice but it's very hard to know who will do what with their HODLing. In the end, it's their money and their decision. I am just saying what could have been a better approach.

Nice job sir, by giving them a bounty as a lure to pique their interest in bitcoin, it is the most effective move anywhere we are in terms of marketing. But you need to guide them further and also supervise them as a form of their follow up in understanding bitcoin and how it works in getting its utility or profit from bitcoin itself.
I want to ask do you advise them to invest and profit from bitcoin or do you teach them how to treat itcoin like a currency or transaction tool with your students?
I would like to know how you explain bitcoin to your students as my additional reference in introducing bitcoin to my environment.

OP your standing is great and personally I appreciate the efforts, Young generation needs to know how tricky and distorted this economic system is so that they can raise their voice for freedom and better alternatives because the next generation should be the victim of this rough economic system, and that is our responsibility. Education is the only way, which was followed by our ancestors to brighten the future generation, and it's our way too.

Intention for the action matters a lot as the amount is low but the intention behind the small amount is revolutionary may in the future the inspired students follow the Bitcoin way to achieve their goals. Small Motivations creates a successful personality you motivated them about bitcoin may be sooner or later some them prasie you for guiding them.

Very good idea OP, I think you are doing a good teaching strategy because in my opinion what you are doing is not only teaching and introducing the students in theory about Bitcoin but you invite them to immediately practice even you also stimulate them to be more enthusiastic by giving a number of your Bitcoins.
I think something that will have a big impact sometimes comes from small things. It seems small, but I'm sure it will have a big impact if they manage to understand it well and teach some of their friends.
What's more, they are the next generation of all of us and of course it will more or less influence the development of Bitcoin in the future.
I hope that what you do will be sustainable and that you can always accompany and teach them. Because the steps you take are very effective in my opinion.

i believe, he also gave explanation on btc. he may not elaborated how he got these students, but if he gave a lil bit of lecture to these people, they will also do their own research now that they have a lil bit of satoshis. it will encourage them to learn on their own. also, if i may suggest to the OP, now that he found also this forum, if he can give this forum site to these students so they can study on their own also. there's a ton of knowledge found in this forum, so it is worthwhile giving the link to these people.
remember, if you have a lil bit of something that you consider an asset, you will also do your homework on learning more about it. so that's a good initiative from the OP. some of these students may eventually be a crypto user.
