How can we help to Bitcoin education?

[MarjorieZimmermanGinger]

that's true. what's important right now is to spread awareness, not to force people to invest. right now, social medias and other platforms used to promote advertisements are already doing their jobs to spread awareness to people by introducing new exchanges, offering new products locally, and even slowly adding crypto into their locally provided e-wallets. now what we are tasked to do is to cater questions and answer them as best as possible in the most simple way without us looking like we are trying to seduce people into investing without us being so forceful. let's just wait for the moment since we are also aware that people are slowly being aware about bitcoin's existence.

Everyone must have an awareness of the level of risk posed by the investment they make, therefore there are many things that must be considered starting from awareness to read and learn something related to investment. Sources of news on social media and other platforms are not necessarily credible, so there is a need for separate analysis every time you read news anywhere so you don't get caught up in the flow of news that deceives the public.

If you intend to teach people about bitcoin then the basic things that must be conveyed are about price fluctuations, because bitcoin is not the same as other existing investment products, so they can learn this issue first. When they start learning basic things like this they are automatically better prepared for bitcoin market conditions.

but it is not a problem because you can buy literally only $1 dollar of it in seconds.

You can buy 1$ of Bitcoin in seconds? Technically yes, but how about the fees? You might encounter some times where you are spending more in transaction fees compare to the amount of Bitcoin that you are buying which is 1$.

Any ideas to spread the Bitcoin education to the world?

I will not help because there are many tools online already that can help a person to learn Bitcoin.
It's up to them already if they're willing to learn it or not.

I don't want to waste my time, making crash courses, or talking about Bitcoin to someone else especially if that person isn't interested at all. I will just redirect them to different websites, videos, and articles that will help them learn Bitcoin. When I first started to learn Bitcoin, nobody helped me, but the internet. I spent hours watching educational videos, reading articles that will give me knowledge on what really Bitcoin is, and I guess that will also be helpful for those newbies out there. I guess the only part where I can help them is if they will ask questions about me, but in terms of where do they need to start, I will let them watch or read themselves.

There are different resources and ways in which you can teach others about Bitcoin and help spread awareness among people but the thing is how many people are willing to learn around you or how much engagement you get if you plan to do so on social media platforms.There are some threads about giving knowledge to neighbours and students btc related and was appreciated by members so if you also want to do such it's good.But as others have suggested you must have complete knowledge or say basics should be clear to you so that right information is shared to them also.

Bitcoin is awesome, isn't it, and a lot of people still don't know about it and some strongly believe it's a fake, scam, or Ponzi scheme.
Bitcoin education is necessary, really necessary cause it's becoming one the most valuable thing to hold as an asset, and so many people should know about it so they won't be left behind. To spread the awareness of Bitcoin, one can start from even family members, free online Bitcoin trade and investments classes, inviting people to the Bitcoin talk forum, and many other ways available.

Internet. That's it. The majority of people, even in poor countries, have access to a smartphone and internet connection so if you want to learn something you can find all the info you need out there. At the same time let's not forget that some people have more problems than others so learning something on internet is not exactly your number one priority if you need to feed 4 kids...

Its laughable that you're preaching about credibility in this age of rampant fake news. Everyone thinks they've got the pulse on investment knowledge by reading a few articles here and there. Its a joke

You're touching on teaching about Bitcoin's price fluctuations? Seriously? Thats child's play. If you truly want to make a difference, drive into their heads the groundbreaking impact of Bitcoin on our global financial system! But then again, why should you? Its evident you're content on skimming the surface while the world moves on to bigger and better things.

Well you tried for using euphemism to illustrate the thread. But bitcoin can not be printed. Bitcoin is the new technology that has taken over the world of values. And the way bitcoin is growing every day. People are getting the awareness every second, though physical interaction with people is still needed because that can give the awareness more. If I will do that it should be in the classroom which has more youths.

[panganib999]

Metaphors and figures of speeches can only go so far especially if you're trying to set your point across people who are not even aware of what bitcoin is, or how the money that they have works. I find that seminars for people who are eager to know more about bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, packed with information about the monetary system, bitcoin, how it solves basic issues of money and banking, etc. to be one of the best ways you could use to spread the word about bitcoin. Perhaps you wanna try looking into that too?

Metaphors are great and all, but people will need to be informed about every nook and cranny, every cog and wheel, and everything that makes the whole bitcoin ecosystem tick. I doubt metaphors could do that lol.

If you refer to printed as being created, I would say Bitcoin can be created but it is limited.  We are at the printing phase of BTC (creating BTC through mining).  And I am confused when you say that Bitcoin has taken over the world of values...  . Like in what sense Bitcoin had taken over the world of values...

Though I agree that in order to propagate awareness about Bitcoin it should be included in school curriculums because from there it will be tackled with care and kids have ample time to learn deeply about Bitcoin.  Advertising on social media is a quick catch but it cannot be compared when the learning is brought in schools.  Because if it is tackled in school, kids will have a deeper understanding of what Bitcoin is.

"Printing phase"? I thought printing has to do with producing hardcopy of the coin while creating is the process of producing new ones to the system, so I don't know why you said, printing is creating bitcoin from mining. Yes, I said it because presently, bitcoin has value more than Gold, Fiat Currencies, and any other higher valuable things and bitcoin is the king of them all. And that was why I said so.

Students should be taught financial literacy first before jumping off to bitcoin knowledge. Financial literacy is like a taboo in grade schools, or even in high schools to some, i don't know why it's not taught there ^{(at least in my country)}. It should be the very first thing people should be aware of. Because learning bitcoin ^{(finance part, not on technology part)} will be useless or confusing to those students who will hear it first, it will be like a magic to them.

I understand what you say, because financial literacy isn't present in my country's schools as well. The basic knowledge people have comes from the internet, family members who are merchants and personal experience.

Financial education should be a must in every schools, and Bitcoin plus crypto in general could be part of the lessons, so young people would have access to reliable informations and knowledge from teachers and not from crypto gurus from youtube who are trying to sell courses,  pump shitcoins or promote referral links from scammy platforms.

Spread the real word about bitcoin which is the real way of helping with the Bitcoin education. Not many were able to understand the reality, but they all believe in the market. When they understand what is happening, the users will be more confident as well as there won't be panic and other formats of trades take place.

All depends on the educational level. If it is Secondary School level then they should be taught financial education through economics but if it is a university level then a choice is always made by the students to select the course they would like to specialize at the end of his educational programme. More so, financial education can be acquire through the course in the university level and I believe all universities have economics in their curriculum. And I don't know why you said your country does not support financial education, I thought every country does that except financial accounting.

Each age will have knowledge that needs to be educated accordingly, financial education too early will not bring any effect. How can a child who can't even add, subtract, multiply and divide learn about finance? For children who are still being raised by their parents, what they need to be educated on is morality and basic knowledge of life. Finances are important to any adult, but for a child in the care of their parents, they don't need it yet.

Furthermore, finance and investing are not the only paths to success and not everyone is passionate about them. That's why investing and finance courses are always introduced when you enter college, not in elementary school, high school...many people also get rich by becoming actors, football players, artists...bitcoin is not the only way to get rich.

Elementary school is not a suitable place to teach financial literacy in my opinion. I don't know, but I think every country must have lessons about the economy, right? Doesn't that include the basis of financial literacy as well.
Knowledge of Bitcoin does not have to be included in an educational curriculum in a country because in my opinion it is not a matter of basic urgency that children or students must know and master.
In my opinion, if someone really has to apply or teach literacy, especially about Bitcoin it might be more suitable to be taught at universities because universities are more likely to aim for students to hone a more critical mindset, one of which is towards technological developments such as Bitcoin.
But this goes back to a country, whether there is education about Bitcoin or not it all depends on the rules and regulations of each country.

There are already countries doing that,  you don't  need to teach the whole kids just learn the basics, most first world countries do that like Denmark, Australia, Canada, Germany and US, and what its more its effective. And economy subjects is teach in secondary school or specifically college already

The people I can influence I give them a whitepaper of the coin.
Only decentralized coins are recommandable anyway.
No CEO for any coin

I agree, just the basic for them to start learning. Also, kids nowadays are smart and it is easy for them to learn. They also have all the access they needed to learn (youtube and other social media platform). As long as they are interested in learning, there will be no issue and they will learn as much as they want.

I believe that you're already doing the best you could in educating people about Bitcoin. By creating good videos for YouTube, and answering specific questions that people might have Bitcoin, you're already doing well. Twitter thread is also plus. Then you can also speak to your friends about Bitcoin, and help guide them through it to understand fully what it's all about. Another way can be by writing blogs.
