Teaching Bitcoin is not do or die

[Merit.s]

I don't know about you but no knowledge that is forced upon anyone who is not interest hardly stick instead it turns out to be a whole waste of energy, before ever I was introduced to bitcoin it was because I showed certain curiosity towards the trend and that curiosity was properly put in check by a friend of mine which properly enlightenment me on the do's and  don'ts that is involved with crypto and also properly guided me here through which wish I have a lot more about bitcoin and become more interested in it. All these things happen because at first I was already having the interest for bitcoin and that drive led me to want to know more which made it easy for my teacher to guide me.

Learning needs interest and you can't forcefully pass information or knowledge on someone is is not willing or eager to know. Bitcoin teaching should be done with ease so that it will make the person have freedom to decide for himself if he will buy the idea of not. Bitcoin is volatile in nature,and can make whoever that invest in it without understanding bitcoin movement to panic and sell when the price goes dip. That is why when you are introducing it to someone you should let him know all these. Forcing someone on it will bring more harm to the person that is why you shouldn't force anyone or tell anyone that doesn't show interest on bitcoin.

If you don't know about bitcoin enough to be able to teach others to their understandings, you can't expect a newbie trying to invite a novice to Bitcoin, there may be a lot of misconception going on because he's not sure of what he's saying and also knows nothing but little, just as you've mentioned, let them decides for themselves, you could also introduce them to the forum to learn more about bitcoin from its official bitcoin discussion platform.

Having adequate knowledge on your own before teaching another person is the best way to spread the knowledge and pass good information, and just like you mention, a newbie trying to teach another newbie may end both in disaster, and at that o urge anyone willing to educate a newbie into bitcoin should first have a provable method in bitcoin this is already working and result is available to show as an example during the teaching period.
There have been a lot of threads around the forum about Bitcoin education, and all have pointed to a successful ending which is evidence that those from this forum have a good education and are also passing that education to those around them.

My experience of telling Bitcoin use case is that it is able to send money instantly. Specifically in my country, if we want to send money abroad, it's expensive and outrageously very slow. A tedious amount of time are required for the receiver to use/get the money. I did not tell Bitcoin in-depth or thoroughly, but in one case, they told the story in regard to it that Bitcoin does work well for them.

The problem among some users is that they kind of preach instead of advocating and telling handy and practical use cases of cryptocurrency, especially Bitcoin. Simply the method of finding a problem and seeking a solution offered by Bitcoin should make any person has enough interest to dig deeper into Bitcoin. Unfortunately, that is not the case mostly, as what have you been said.

Far back 2010 and 2011 are the time the news of Bitcoin was not been spread across, i know vividly that Bitcoin have dominate everywhere, because I believe that internet has made it to be easy to people to get aware of bitcoins, because the way I'm seeing bitcoin theirs no need of teaching people bitcoin because internet will done it to them without any oral teaching of Bitcoin

[imamusma]

There are many suggested ways to support bitcoin including building one's interest to learn about it. We can write in various places about bitcoin regardless of whether it's just about its uses and so on. Teaching bitcoin does not have to force, but teach it to anyone who is interested in it. The best support for bitcoin is to use it, yes that includes using it as a means of payment or trading it.

Someone wearing a t-shirt with the bitcoin logo without saying anything is also considered a bitcoin supporter, in fact it can be considered a great way to make people aware of bitcoin without preaching in public.

I agree that we must not force our relatives and friends to learn Bitcoin or pressure them about it.  We have the right to share information but it is not their responsibility to be interested in it.  We can share them the wonders of Bitcoin and see if they got interested.  If they did not then we must let it go, it is their right to ignore the information we passed to them. Besides it will be a waste of time if we push them to learn about BTC, they will not get serious anyway.

The point is, yes, we should not force anyone to learn it as, you are totally right, when your tell someone only the green gardens and positive side of something, some of them become skeptical and they begin to thought that you are trying to lure them into this scam. But if you just change your method of teaching then it will become like no i am not luring you i am justing giving you more options to make your life a little better.

Correct, If you teach someone about Bitcoin and try to overdoing it if you got no interest, it may raise suspicion for the other person and they might doubt that you are trying to scam them or something. I believe the best approach is to start by teaching them the basics of Bitcoin and then discuss both the negative and positive aspects. If they show no interest, your last option is to provide proof of how you are earning Bitcoin and making profits through trading or any other Bitcoin related business, If you feel that they don't want to then you better stop and just move on.

To be honest, I have a couple of friends in real life who heard about Bitcoin from me but I never insisted that they should get into it. They simply followed my lead and now they have gained a lot of knowledge and are very thankful that I get them here since they already making profit and bitcoin helped them a lot in their life.

Yeah, your story convinced me to share mine. Today, i was on call with my friend, he lives in another city, as he shares his story that his friend (X) ask me to teach him the skill i have (which is dropshopping) and then i thought i should ask him (X) to teach me his (X) skills which was related to some affiliate work, well his friend (X) denied that he can not teach him the skill because of some promises and idk what's the main reason behind it, well then my friend said then i have to charge you for teaching you dropshopping, he (X) said ok i am fine.

The point is all, my friend asked his friend a skill in exchange of a skill. Which would be a better deal if completed well coming to the point, i also want to learn that skill and i asked my friend that i will tell you how i earn money by my skills and you have to teach me your skills to earn money, then he replied ok, i am already eager to learn crypto.

Moral is same as was before that, we have to make situation for others that they will set their mind on their own and we do not have to lure them to do investments and trading in crypto.

[The Cryptovator]

Yes, I agree with you. I have had discussions with numerous individuals regarding Bitcoin, but unfortunately, most of them did not show much interest. However, a few of them gradually realized its potential, and now they actively engage in Bitcoin trading. Some people express their gratitude to me for helping them learn about Bitcoin. Recently, someone I know called me. A few years ago, I had suggested that he invest in Bitcoin and Ethereum. When he noticed the current prices, he was taken aback and regretted not listening to my advice. Nevertheless, it's not about forcing someone to invest in Bitcoin. What truly matters is finding those who are genuinely interested in it.

Learning of bitcoin should be based on interest and not by force. If you try to teach someone about bitcoin and that person is not showing any interest, it is better that you forget about it,and try to talk to someone else who will be interested on it. Remember, no matter the effort that you put in,to teach someone who is skeptical to accept new ideas or that person feels that he is a professor or knows more than you in other aspect of life,or if he is even richer than you,will end up being a wasted effort. This can discourage you to stop spreading bitcoin awareness, due to the negative responds that you will get from them.

This is true, I have no problems with people that just want to contribute and teach bitcoin even to the young ones. As long as those people they're teaching and sharing knowledge that they have about Bitcoin are showing interest, that's much better. I think it is common sense that if these people that they're teaching about Bitcoin don't show any interest anymore, the obvious is there and they should stop. I've done that in the past and those that have mocked me and shown disinterest made me stopped from talking about it to anyone. Even some of my friends when they ask me about Bitcoin, all I hear is the same thing and it's all about profiting but I am telling them a summary of it that it's not easy as it seems and what they think.

[drwhobox]

Spreading knowledge is key to any new innovation. It is normal that people don't have knowledge about bitcoin or other cryptocurrency. Like it or not bitcoin doesn't exist for long so you don't expect everyone to have knowledge about bitcoin, but the good thing is people now know that something called bitcoin exist. If you want to teach people about bitcoin start with those who heard about bitcoin. Don't go for a person who doesn't heard about bitcoin before.

Spreading bitcoin awareness or teaching people about bitcoin is the best way for rapid adoption of bitcoin. Some forum members try to force their kids,friends and relative to learn bitcoin which shouldn't be so. Learning of bitcoin should be based on interest and not by force. If you try to teach someone about bitcoin and that person is not showing any interest, it is better that you forget about it,and try to talk to someone else who will be interested on it.

Whenever I introduce my friends or family members to bitcoin, I don’t force them to invest in bitcoin, it’s a choice if they are interested, they should invest and if they are not interested, they should leave it, anybody investing is doing that at their own risk. If you force anyone to invest in bitcoin, if anything happens to their money, then they will blame you for that before they will say you forced them to do that.

This can discourage you to stop spreading bitcoin awareness, due to the negative responds that you will get from them.

If you get a negative response from people you are planning to introduce bitcoin to, it those not mean you should give up, not everyone will be interested in bitcoin but if you don’t give up, you will get some people that will be interested and they will invest in bitcoin, so don’t allow negative response from people weak you by spreading bitcoin to people.

Another reason why you don't have to force people into learning bitcoin or investing in bitcoin is that,if you force them, it will look as if bitcoin is a scam because, you are over doing it and they will be reluctant. Lastly, if you want to teach or introduce bitcoin to someone, make sure that you tell him more of the risky side and don't just tell him about the benefits,so that it will be the person choice to invest in bitcoin or not.

That’s one of the mistake people are always making, if you are planning to introduce bitcoin to anyone, it those not mean you won’t tell the person the risk associated with bitcoin investment, you shouldn’t just focus on the positive aspect, because if you don’t tell them they can lose money and at the end they lose money, then they will tag both you and bitcoin as a scam.

Most people believe bitcoin is a get Rich quick scheme and it’s because of the way bitcoin was introduced to them, they don’t believe they can lose money and in the next few days, they are going to make their money and they will be in good profits.

Let's discuss

Raising awareness of Bitcoin might indeed be quite easier to do in various ways. Whether it's directly teaching them, making stickers and attaching them to vehicles, making promotions and statuses on social media, or other things that can make other people see the Bitcoin symbol, at least. From them, seeing this and being aware there is Bitcoin, this is where things might become pros and cons. Because not everyone will accept and like it. And this is one of the difficulties, namely getting people interested in learning more about it or getting into it, especially the effect of media coverage that often spreads FUD related to Bitcoin. To be honest, this is very influential, even to the point that I myself still keep my involvement with Bitcoin a secret because there are pros and cons which are very harsh indeed.

However, if they start to want to be interested in learning, this is a very good moment. At least we tell and teach them about Bitcoin. But on the other hand, we don't need to give them too much hope about the benefits that might be obtained from Bitcoin because this will be a dilemma later. Let them explore it first and decide for themselves whether they will really jump into Bitcoin investment or not. Don't let us give too high sweet promises to them.

[JoyMarsha]

It is how we explain bitcoin to people that will make them decided whether to invest or not. I think that the best way one can convince someone on investing in bitcoin is when you live by example,i.e when you have invested into bitcoin and you also have what to show for it. Some newbies don't have any bitcoin investment but they are teaching people about investing into bitcoin, how will they be able to convince the person that they are talking to.

Correct. People will grow up knowing about bitcoin according to the type of knowledge you gave them. If you present Bitcoin to them as an investment opportunity with a profit potential, they will perceive it as a risk-free investment option even though they are aware that the cryptocurrency market is unstable and highly volatile.

I do occasionally shake my head in disbelief at how some people are introducing their friends and family to the cryptosphere without disclosing the risks involved. They only provide people positive information about investing and making money. Like bitcoin is a get-rich-quick program that everyone can participate in to generate money. It is really pitiful that people would still have the wrong impression of bitcoin without proper exposure to it.

Even in conventional schools, students are not forced to learn a subject. If you force students to learn, they will be in the class but because of lack of interest, they will not comprehend anything from the teachings. But if the students are interested to learn, they will be quiet and give the teacher absolute attention. Investing in Bitcoin shouldn't be by force but by choice.

Yes, I agree with you. I have had discussions with numerous individuals regarding Bitcoin, but unfortunately, most of them did not show much interest. However, a few of them gradually realized its potential, and now they actively engage in Bitcoin trading. Some people express their gratitude to me for helping them learn about Bitcoin.

What truly matters is finding those who are genuinely interested in it.

If you are fortunate to find people that are genuinely interested in investing in Bitcoin, you don't need to talk too much because they will gladly join the space. Any investment-minded individual that has a foundational understanding of Bitcoin investment will be willing to be part of the Bitcoin space. The idea of forcing people to invest is going to the extreme. If you keep forcing them they might assume that you will gain some profit from their investment. Also if they are unlucky to lose money, they will blame you because they were forced to invest. The best approach for me is to introduce Bitcoin to the people and give them the space and opportunity to decide whether to invest or not to invest. Many of them will come back years after to thank you for your investment advice, while others might also regret not heeding your advice.

This is the main idea of the post OP has created.

Well, I just don't know the reason why we need to force people to learn Bitcoin? Traditional schools aren't forcing their pupils to teach something. If they want to listen, they will just listen, but they aren't forcing their kids to learn something with the lesson they have. Does somebody forces us to teach the Stock Market? Or how to invest in precious metals? Or in Bonds? I don't think so especially if we don't want to. I can't think why people are forcing other people to learn Bitcoin.

Yes I agree that spreading awareness in different ways is they key for faster adoption, but let's pick the ones who are interested, so that both the teacher, and the newbie will not waste their time. Is there anybody who is forcing other people to learn Bitcoin? I guess you should stop because it will only be a waste of time. Just guide them, and let them learn themselves. If they are interested on it, they will have the initiative to learn it.

In my perspective, having proof that you're earning with Bitcoin is more successful when telling people what Bitcoin is and how it works. Most people nowadays require evidence and proof because they are fearful of being scammed. Nowadays, there is a lot of scamming going on, and we should be aware of it. When we teach kids about Bitcoin, we should include the risks and pitfalls as well as the perks and advantages. In other words, give them all of the knowledge gradually so that they truly comprehend your teachings because some people are slow. These will assist them in making an informed decision based on the knowledge they have learnt.

that's right, I think introducing Bitcoin to other people directly will be more difficult actually, it's better for us to take advantage of this digital era to promote Bitcoin whether it's by writing articles or providing educational knowledge by utilizing social media.
before teaching something to others, of course we also have to be aware of our own abilities. not everyone can explain Bitcoin well and not everyone can accept Bitcoin.
yes youre right, the most important thing to support Bitcoin is to use it. for the problem of introducing others we can take advantage of social media for efficiency of time and distribution. and it is better to teach Bitcoin only to interested people.
one thing that must be underlined for people who want to introduce and even teach Bitcoin to others is to make sure that they already have good material and knowledge about Bitcoin. otherwise I think it will make the name of Bitcoin worse and we can be considered as fraudsters if they suffer losses.

[Twentyonepaylots]

Is it worth teaching this technology? Yes, for sure it would be good for this industry to spread its popularity but for individuals who are not really interested? I'm not sire. It is like exposing them to risk. Maybe it does depend on who would you be sharing the concept of Bitcoin with. Most of non-crypto investors think that this industry is either an easy way to be rich or a total fraud. Sharing its profitability depends on who you be shared it to. If the individual won't put any effort because of such impression, then that will just be a waste of time and the possible outcome is blaming you if incase anything bad would happen.

In my perspective, having proof that you're earning with Bitcoin is more successful when telling people what Bitcoin is and how it works.

These will assist them in making an informed decision based on the knowledge they have learnt.

Showing proofs will indeed help you persuade or convince them to engage towards this industry but the fact that profit won't come in an instant and in a consistent manner should also be considered to avoid overlooking the potential of this industry.

Teaching Bitcoin is not do or die

Exactly at the rate at which most people parade themselves trying to teach Bitcoin to those who are actually not interested in the technology, they could have possibly been left alone. The way in which you tell someone about something defines how the person will view that particular subject matter. Some people will try all they can to convince someone who does not even have any interest in Bitcoin to just join them in investing or whatever, as if there is some sort of referral bonus that they could possibly earn by bringing more people into the system.

Left to me alone, what's best to be done is to share the information a little. Whoever picks an interest in it will have to come to you, ask you questions about it, and you will have to share your knowledge about it with them, leaving them to go do more research about it and make their own decisions about whether it's something they should pick an interest in or not.
