Prize day

[Frankolala]

Hello mates, I am so grateful to be a member of this forum. Since I joined this forum, it is one year, I have benefited a lot in terms of increase in knowledge on various aspect of life and on bitcoin. Also my income has increased too,I got a signature campaign third week of October last year till date and my weekly pay has been regular. I have given the awareness of bitcoin to students in two schools, not only that I do visit once in a term to still impact more knowledge of bitcoin to these students.

I decided to give out little from what I have benefited from my campaign signature pay to the best students on bitcoin,based on what I have taught them so far. I came up with an idea of giving them a quiz,so that I will give out prizes to the best students. The quiz was successful conducted by the school authorities in my presence. It was very pleasing to see how wonderful this students performed in the quiz,but there must be a winner in every competition.

Today is the prize giving day,and the over all best was from this school, his name is Samson Appah. He got 18 marks out of 20 marks, I thought of what gift I will get for him because from his name,I knew that the winner is a male. I decided to buy him a bicycle as the gift,so that this will make him not forget about bitcoin and Frankolala. I also got little gifts for the 2nd ,3rd and fourth positions. The second position is from the other school but he is ill and his friends couldn't come down here  to cheer him up. I will send his gift to his Head Teacher on Monday. The second prize will get a wrist watch,since I find out that he is the school time keeper. The third  and fourth positions will get note books with a logo of bitcoin on them. I also put bitcoin stickers on the bicycle so that when Samson is ridding his bicycle,bitcoin awareness will be spreading to wherever he is going to from his starting point to his stopping point.

I did this to encourage the students to take whatever that they are taught in school very serious and to encourage them to tell their friends and family about bitcoin with the little that they understood. I took these pictures for remembrance because I have been transferred in my place of work to a different state very far from here,and I will be leaving this place on Tuesday next week. It was my pleasure to see the excitement on the faces of these students especially the best, as he thanked me over and over again. I encouraged him to give bitcoin awareness to people around him.

My appreciation goes to Hampuz the manager of Trust dice campaign and Trust dice team who found me worthy to make ads for them,and to all forum members who has contributed to help me grow in the forum directly or indirectly, for with out you guys,I wouldn't have achieved a great day like this.

Note : I was motivated by forum members who have used their income from signature campaign to assists people outside the forum.

My question is don't you think that I am using those students wrongly to help spread bitcoin awareness.
2. Will you encourage me to tell my new colleagues in my new place of work about bitcoin or just pipe low,until someone that is interested on bitcoin needs guide or assistance in the adoption of bitcoin.

1st prize : Bicycle

2nd prize : Wrist watch

3rd prize : 6 long note books

4th prize : 6 short note books

My question is don't you think that I am using those students wrongly to help spread bitcoin awareness.

I believe that’s a rhetorical question, I don’t think you’re using the students, what benefit would that be to you? I think what you’re doing is very noble, the gifts are not cheap and must have cost good sum of money. Your actions have imprinted a long lasting impression on the kids about bitcoin, the customized bitcoin books will be a good way to advertise bitcoin to new people.

2. Will you encourage me to tell my new colleagues in my new place of work about bitcoin or just pipe low,until someone that is interested on bitcoin needs guide or assistance in the adoption of bitcoin.

It depends on your workplace, I wouldn’t recommend talking about bitcoin in the office or during office hours maybe after office hours, you can share your experience with a colleague you are close with. Just because you’re doing something right, that doesn’t mean you have to shove it down everyone else’s throat. I think it’s best to let people find bitcoin organically.

First I have to say thank you for putting effort in spreading the max adoption of cryptocurrency and also for impacting on those youth teenage with your personal funds, I know it's very hard to do a freewill service without any benefit from it.

Then secondly about your colleague at work if you could devote time teaching those students what stops you from not sharing the idea with a colleague at place of work whom you think is more educated and reasonable to learn faster than those students. Teaching doesn't necessarily mean that he must involved in buy bitcoin or involving himself with investment, I think what he needs now is orientation on how the whole concept works before you could tell him anything about investment otherwise you may forget about the investment aspect and focused on him to gain the required knowledge before talking about investment. You know one thing about people is that whenever they hear or get the information about profit in a business they won't exercise patient to learn it thoroughly before including their money, is after it bounces back to them before they would realised they made a mistake after  they might have lost some serious funds.

[Stalker22]

Wow, it is amazing to see the impact that your campaign has had on these students and the efforts you are making to spread awareness about Bitcoin. To answer your first question, I do not think you are using the students wrongly to help spread bitcoin awareness. In fact, I think what you're doing is a great way to get young people interested in Bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general. The quiz and prize-giving event sounds like a fun and effective way to engage with your students. I love the idea. As for telling your new colleagues about bitcoin, go for it dude! It is always good to share knowledge and info with others. But don't be too pushy or aggressive about it. Not everyone is going to be interested in Bitcoin, and that is totally fine. Just be open and willing to answer any questions they may have, and let them come to their own conclusions.

[BitDane]

Great initiative ther @OP by spending part of your income to give Bitcoin proliferation a boost by teaching these students and have them quizzed so that the understand what you are teaching them.

My question is don't you think that I am using those students wrongly to help spread bitcoin awareness.

No you are not wrongly using these students to spread Bitcoin awareness,  Instead you are giving them an option to help themselves by giving them understanding of the benefits they can get if they choose to participate in Bitcoin economy.

Will you encourage me to tell my new colleagues in my new place of work about bitcoin or just pipe low,until someone that is interested on bitcoin needs guide or assistance in the adoption of bitcoin.

I won't encourage you to push your colleagues into learning about Bitcoin but you can always share your experience to them in a more natural means of conversation.  Whether they get interested and ask for more information is up to them.

[SamReomo]

I really appreciate your way of promoting Bitcoin and helping the students at the same time by giving them gifts. Your way of spending really makes sense as it is always a better choice to help the needy ones. The students will always remember the gift and they will also find the ways to adopt Bitcoin in future. You have inserted the seed of Bitcoin into their minds and that will grow into trees very soon.

After this step you should try to educate them about Bitcoin and you should also suggest them to join this forum. Help them with the education and they will be your friends, and companions in the race. They will share the education to others and that way the community will see new and valuable members. Such simple steps are the most important steps for the growth of the community.

Well, what you are earning by advertising a gambling service will buy you fire in life and there after, you shouldn't give them fire either. But you know, maybe some day you realize you are worth more than a few cents earned this way.

[Don Pedro Dinero]

I see a lot of stories like this one from forum members populating bitcoin in African countries, and in this case they are credible, unlike some of the others you see here, which seem like a crude attempt to get merit.

Note : I was motivated by forum members who have used their income from signature campaign to assists people outside the forum.

My question is don't you think that I am using those students wrongly to help spread bitcoin awareness.

Well, no, I don't think anyone on the forum thinks so. You are popularising bitcoin and giving prizes to some students. What's wrong with that? Nothing.

2. Will you encourage me to tell my new colleagues in my new place of work about bitcoin or just pipe low,until someone that is interested on bitcoin needs guide or assistance in the adoption of bitcoin.

I don't know to what extent. You should know your environment and assess whether it is worth telling your colleagues. The case of students seems different to me, in the case of colleagues they may have more prejudices about it, so without knowing more I can't give you a reasoned opinion.

The only concern I have when it comes to introducing bitcoin to others is when bitcoin is introduced as an investment to make profit. Otherwise when it is introduced as it really is, which is the only decentralized currency, that is fine.
Although I don't know how you do it but from your other topics and the points on the blackboard it seems like it is the later which is fine.

[Merit.s]

OP, I am overwhelmed with joy at the style in which you have used to impact bitcoin awareness and knowledge permanently on these students with the lovely gifts which you have given to them. You sacrificed part of your campaign money to buy those gifts,this shows how kind and generous you are,because some people are selling their bikes and properties to buy more bitcoin but instead you sold some fractions of yours.

My question is don't you think that I am using those students wrongly to help spread bitcoin awareness.

As for the questions that you asked above, you are doing the right thing to tell these students help spread bitcoin awareness because they are the future bitcoin users and bitcoin is mainly adopted by the youths since we are in a new era.

2. Will you encourage me to tell my new colleagues in my new place of work about bitcoin or just pipe low,until someone that is interested on bitcoin needs guide or assistance in the adoption of bitcoin.

Teaching your colleagues at your place of work isn't a bad idea but you should be careful let your new Boss don't get mad at you and you should tell only your department people during break time or closing hours. We should keep on spreading bitcoin awareness wherever you find yourself to help bring in more people into the bitcoin community.
Kudos

[SOKO-DEKE]

My question is don't you think that I am using those students wrongly to help spread bitcoin awareness.

If I had read every words of your post carefully, I should have easily concluded that you were not intentionally using any students to increase awareness; rather than, I would argue that you were assisting them by educating them about Bitcoin, which I believe will be of tremendous use to them in the future.Alternatively, do you advise any of them to raise awareness? If not, there is nothing wrong with making the gifts with Bitcoin logos, and also tell them to teach their friends and family about Bitcoin

2. Will you encourage me to tell my new colleagues in my new place of work about bitcoin or just pipe low,until someone that is interested on bitcoin needs guide or assistance in the adoption of bitcoin.

There is nothing wrong with introducing new colleagues to Bitcoin technology, but before you try to do anything like that, I would like you to thoroughly study their characters.Therefore, let their character speak for them  because people these days are not reliable they may do some stupid later.It will be wonderful to watch you keep up the excellent work you've been doing to raise awareness.

[lovesmayfamilis]

It looks like giveaways and charity efforts from subscription companies are going viral. This is a good example, and I look forward to the next stories. OP, I express my gratitude to you for such actions. Young people from your country should learn about Bitcoin. Seeing your situation in the country, knowledge will help them become more successful and at least slightly change their standard of living.
Did you tell them about the forum, at least the winners? Maybe your motivation for education will push others, and soon you will be proud of your students. Do not stop.

and to encourage them to tell their friends and family about bitcoin with the little that they understood

Well, in my opinion, the best way to tell if you are using them wrongly or not is based on the education you have given them about Bitcoin. Just as you have mentioned that you told them to go and spread the news about Bitcoin to their friends and family with what they understood, if perhaps you give them a very concrete education about Bitcoin, they may definitely inform others  but it might be in a misleading manner. (I don't know if you get my point.) For example, if you have taught them all about Bitcoin and most of them only understand 20% of what you have taught them, they may be giving out incomplete education to their friends and family as well. Other than that, I don't think you are using them wrongly.

Teaching your colleague about Bitcoin should be based on the time you have to educate them about it. If, for sure, you want them to know about Bitcoin and enjoy the decentralized means of handling their finances through Bitcoin, then you can introduce it to them, and most of them might pick up more interest, so from there, you can only teach those that seem to have more interest. Just my opinion

[Dunamisx]

You've done so well mate in giving back to the community and this time the school students to have an avenue of hearing and knowing about bitcoin if for the first time, you make an impressive move by giving them gifts that will also serve as a motivation they will always remember about bitcoin, such avenue can be utilized to publicy bitcoin,teach others about bitcoin and also improve lives through this initiative, maybe this could also serve as the only opportunity they may have in knowing about bitcoin and start something right from here to increase their knowledge and interest on bitcoin.

[Frankolala]

I appreciate all your contributions and encouragement to go on with Bitcoin awareness is my new place of work. I will continue to do the little that I can do from my side to spread bitcoin knowledge and awareness to the society.

Did you tell them about the forum, at least the winners?

Yes, I told them about the forum that everything that I gave to them was on behalf of bitcointalk.org forum members. I have all their contacts on my WhatsApp so that I can follow them up and bring them into this forum.

[Hatchy]

An act of goodwilI I will say, but I don't know why you are doubting your own self. Students these days are one of the fastest ways of spreading idea of Bitcoin. They learn faster and are eager to learn more. Compared to your college at work, who would just give little attention to what you are talking about because in Africa people consider Bitcoin as a means of loosing money. These students would give you all attention because they would want to be able to also teach others about Bitcoin.

Yes, I told them about the forum that everything that I gave to them was on behalf of bitcointalk.org forum members. I have all their contacts on my WhatsApp so that I can follow them up and bring them into this forum.

Telling them about Bitcointalk isn't a bad Idea but telling them that you actually earn money from campaign would be wrong as they will all rush to come here and break many rules,just to get enough ranks so as to get paid. But if you tell them that they could learn more on Bitcoin from here it would help them alot more.

Nice job by they way.

[Fivestar4everMVP]

Amazing 😍, a big congratulations to you bud, for this great achievement, and also, congratulations to the students who won those amazing prices, most especially, the boy who won the bicycle, I can only imagine how happy he and his parents must be..

Every act of kindness to student is a seed sowed, and one day, every good seed will grow to bear good fruits.

My advice is, keep it going, seize every opportunity to tell someone about bitcoin, even in your new place of work, if you find the opportunity, do some seminars, you never know who you are giving a new idea of how to come out from financial struggles..
In all just keep doing what you know how to do best.

[Sexylizzy2813]

Yes, I told them about the forum that everything that I gave to them was on behalf of bitcointalk.org forum members. I have all their contacts on my WhatsApp so that I can follow them up and bring them into this forum.

First of all lemme congratulate you, is not easy to do all you have done. Taking your time to convince them (the students) about Bitcoin and how best to go about it despite how some people would say ill things about it especially they scammy ones and you made sure that this forum is a good example to use to secure their minds, before you know it 85% of them would be here to make this wonderful forum grow in a bigger way.
I wish you all the best of luck to continue what you've started, the sky is your limit. Your hustle will continue to grow and I wish to do something such as this some day.

Congrats bro...

With high inflation, everybody is seeking avenues to make more money. But you have decided to give from the little you earn. This is an act of selflessness and a show of brotherly love. Thank you for telling people about Bitcoin and showing that Bitcoiners care about the welfare of the people in society. I also went you to follow up with Samson Appah because he might be interested in Bitcoin. If he is interested in Bitcoin, an Android phone or a fairly used laptop would have been an ideal gift. These are just my suggestions, maybe he needs the bicycle more.

My question is don't you think that I am using those students wrongly to help spread bitcoin awareness.

I see myself as a Bitcoin promoter. Mass adoption of Bitcoin will be beneficial to the community. So I utilize every opportunity to create Bitcoin awareness. I am encouraging you to tell as many people as you can.

[DaNNy001]

Well-done to your good deeds, firstly you have done well by creating an awareness massively in the mind of these children and hopefully one day they knowledge you gave them will act as an extra edge to them using this wonderful initative which is bitcoin and secondly the idea of sharing prices is a wonderful idea and its not easy in a time of inflation like this to actually spend from your pocket to complete this wonderful project of yours. Well your community is now one step ahead of bitcoin adoption prior to the good work you did in sharing this knowledge around, its good we help spread its awareness because this is what is needed for more adoption by the masses in the society at large.
