Teaching Bitcoin is not do or die

[Sarah Azhari]

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.

Actually, The people would know themselves without being told it, because the news always spreading up everywhere, and every time. I always see the news about Bitcoin on my local tv and the presenter is always talking much how to buy and the right way to invest. So, if they are economical and know how to use the money, they will research itself what is bitcoin. if they know themselves, no one to blame him if they lost on trading or investment. Bitcoin is global, do not be like you own itself by pressing someone to buy it.

In this forum, many tell stories and invite relatives or friends to invest in BTC, but the ways to invite them are very different
that is, there are those who invite them to invest in btc but do not mention the risks of investing in btc. and this is the wrong way . but there are also those who invite investment in btc as well as tell the risks of investing in btc and this is the right thing.

your post is very useful, and I, as a person who invests in btc, agree with your words.

I've read a few people have made a thread here on the forum about teaching Bitcoin not to force it on others just to let them know what it really is. Here in the community that I am in, many here have only heard of Bitcoin but do not study or know what Bitcoin really is, in short, no one is interested in knowing it for now, instead they only know the word Bitcoin.

But the good thing about that is, at least they are becoming aware of Bitcoin, but for the most part they see Bitcoin as a scam, which is not good for the Bitcoin enthusiast community like us.

I agree, and it is unfortunate how certain advocates of Bitcoin are like this, too close-minded that they seem to even get mad if others don't share their beliefs in Bitcoin.

I remember a time when I was eating in a small eatery. A lady selling something came in and went to a nearby table. The man eating looked at what the lady was selling. They talked for a while and then later on the lady raised her voice. She was mad because the man didn't buy. I was confused.

This is how some strong Bitcoin supporters, Bitcoin maxis among them, behave. This is how it looked like when they tried to discredit highly successful people like Bill Gates and Warren Buffet when they rejected the idea of Bitcoin. Why so bitter?

[Gallar]

I really agree with what you think, that right now there are indeed some beginners who are still new to the world of bitcoin investment, but have the courage to pass it on to other people. I also don't blame what the beginners did, because of course it is also directed and aimed so that bitcoin can be adopted by more and more people. But in my opinion, if they are really a beginner, it's better to learn more about bitcoin first, especially about experience in the world of bitcoin. Because as you wrote, how do you want to spread bitcoin to other people, because those who spread it are also new to bitcoin and also have no visible results. So for beginners who have tried to spread bitcoin to many people, the steps taken are indeed very good for the progress of bitcoin in the future, but if there are no achievements that can be used as evidence, it's better to just focus on the bitcoin assets you have. Because at this time to promote an asset or whatever it is, there must be evidence first, because if there is no clear evidence, most people tend not to believe it.

I personally am also indirectly in the process of spreading bitcoin, but by proving it to the people closest to me. Because if I already have sufficient evidence (in terms of wealth), people will definitely be curious about me and where I got this evidence. And the point is don't force someone to like bitcoin, because sometimes the results will turn around with dislike, just let it flow and don't rush.

I've been in this situation before. I once introduced crypto to my boss and was flatly rejected. He told me I was working for him and my life depended on him, his wealth was a hundred times my own, and even if I worked all my life, I could not get that money. I have to admit what he said is true, and it's funny how a hired man teaches rich people how to make money. It was a lesson that I will never forget.

Indeed, I know many people who are trying to teach bitcoin, spreading bitcoin to others is well-intentioned. But if you don't have any achievements, what you do will only make them look down on you even more and think that what you do is just a scam.

Totally agree with what you said. Teaching Bitcoin to people should not be forced, we must educate them properly and with their will. Do not let us teach about Bitcoin to people who are not even interested in learning about it, because something that is too forced is not good. Especially when someone is reluctant to receive education about Bitcoin it is a loss for them, not us. They ignore something very important and maybe in the future they will regret not learning about Bitcoin from the beginning and maybe they will look to us to ask about Bitcoin in the future.

what about Blockchain or Bitcoin itself which might be included in subjects or courses? maybe it relates to one of the subjects and the development of the existing curriculum in school. it indirectly also forces students to learn it. it's like we know our religion from birth, it's like we are also forced to learn it, but in the end we do choose that religion. forced or not, it all depends on how we introduce it for the first time. if the person explaining Bitcoin and its technology to new people seems interesting, it can be of added value to new people who may indeed create new adoptions of Bitcoin. but of course there is no compulsion here. We can teach them to build a wallet, but we can't force them to buy Bitcoins or trade them.

I think a lot of people agree with that notion, a forced education would only result in having people resist the teaching or not even focus on the information because they don't want to learn it in the first place. I wouldn't say that it's a loss for them but maybe a missed opportunity but can you blame them, if you forced them in the first place to learn then it will only make them more ignorant about bitcoin because the one who forced them to learn set an impression that people who teach about bitcoin are rabid fanatics that want to force feed their ideas and knowledge to people.

there are chances that I do luring people in the past not to invest in bitcoin or crypto but to at last try to check and understand what is the nature and what could be the help for the future .
but suddenly I was denied many times though there are some who comply and those who did understand? are now one of the happiest people in the world because they succeed and yes they are earning from their investments.

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.

That's absolutely correct, and I agree with you 100% on this very statement of yours, because truly, taking myself as an example, I'm one of those who never believed in Bitcoin 5yrs ago, as I always thought it was another scam due to past online scamming experience I had which made me lose my college school fees and other funds, which I told myself never to trust any online investment ever again. But when I saw my friend living a financially buoyant life of Bitcoin, I got interested and gave it a try, which I must confess, was the best decision I ever made.

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. 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.

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. If you only tell the person about the positive side and the person gets excited and believes that bitcoin has  little or no risk,or the person thinks that bitcoin is a get rich project from your explanations. If the person invests and the market moves downward or in opposite direction away from the investor mindset,he will the discourage and might call you a scammer because you failed to explain the risks of bitcoin investment to him. One should also take note that bitcoin is a very risky investment and needs proper knowledge and understanding for a newbie to believe in it.
  
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.
Remember that knowing the theory and carrying out the practical will help you to have a proper knowledge on how to spread bitcoin awareness the right way,i.e you have the knowledge that it is long term investment that is more profitable and you have your bitcoin investment which you are holding for long,so that you can bring in more people into the bitcoin community.

Let's discuss

I think the most important role in promoting Bitcoin is people who have made a significant profit from Bitcoin. Bitcoin profits have significantly changed his daily life. Influenced by such people, people will show more interest in Bitcoin, because it is a fact that people always follow successful people and are always inspired by successful people. So the role of such people is very important.

You are right that no one can be forced to invest anywhere, but it all depends on the passion and interest of the person. One should always convince the next employee by taking all aspects into consideration. Every investment involves both losses and gains. A person who has his own capital in Bitcoin and has also earned profits from Bitcoin can be successful in convincing people.

I approach spreading knowledge of Bitcoin gradually. Often people hear that I've been investing in some kind of "digital money" and are interested in what is actually happening. So I just explain the tip of the iceberg and then depending of the scale of interest I can go more into detail. You can see who is not interested to invest or use Bitcoin and you should not shove information to a bottomless hole because it gains no result.
I think it's the best way and that people who are willing to go in that water will just ask you for more and more information until they start investing themselves. Also, a good tip would be recommending Bitcoin to people who are already in some kind of investment/business mindset as most others are just into normal day working(which is okay, you shouldn't force someone to be what they aren't).

General knowledge is good, everyone should know that Bitcoin exists and that is possible to invest - and where to get help if needed, but every individual should think with their own head.

Investing in bitcoin carries inherent risks, so why would we compel anyone to invest in it?

Although we believe that bitcoin has the potential for future growth and can be profitable to invest in, we cannot guarantee it. Bitcoin is considered a high-risk asset, which explains why a majority of investors may choose not to invest in it. In fact, our goal is not to have everyone invest in bitcoin, but rather to encourage its use for daily transactions. This would increase the demand for bitcoin and reduce the supply through holding, which is the recipe for profitability based on the supply and demand factor.

[Jody.Drummer]

We must remember about the context of teaching.
Teaching means that there are people who want to learn and want to teach, so there's nothing wrong with teaching bitcoin to people who want to learn, right?
The key is the desire when someone wants to learn then it's not wrong to just share with bitcoin but most of the time it's actually wrong in the sense because when telling people who don't know about bitcoin I prefer to say this is an introduction because they might just know about it for the first time and Introduce and teach are clearly two different things. but seeing from several threads sometimes the introduction and teaching are generalized so that things like this are created where there are pros and cons about learning about bitcoin.

[Z390]

I will like to ask how it is possible to force someone to invest in Bitcoin because you can't force somebody to invest their money on something they don't know much about and if anyone comes to me and tell me to help them invest in Bitcoin I will advise them that I'm not up for the task that they should do investigation for themselves by using Google search engine.

I will also advise them about the risk of investing in crypto and the risk of losing their Bitcoin to bad actors in the space all this bad news is enough to scare anyone away if they don't want to lose their money now I don't understand where the false like will come from because it feels impossible to me what is your gain even if you force any one of them to invest in Bitcoin, are you going to get paid for doing that so why the force.

I am also against advising anyone on how to manage their finances and where to invest their money, especially when it comes to high-risk purchases.

I think that thanks to the emergence of players like Blackrock in the cryptocurrency market, we are in for very good times, this is a sign for me that I am investing in bitcoin correctly. But this is my decision, because before that I bought bitcoin for a long time, because I believed in its future. Investing in bitcoin should be conscious, everyone should do their own research and understand how this opportunity suits them, whether they are ready to expose their money to such a risk. The risks are not small, but the gain in case of success will also be very significant, and then they will again say that those who bought bitcoin were just lucky.

We cannot force anyone to invest in bitcoin, but many people recommend it to others without saying it all. I mean, they only talk about the benefits, emphasizing the return on investment in bitcoin, they don't mention the risks that bitcoin can pose to the investor. Even though those people don't get any benefit from doing so, I don't understand why so many people still do it.

Like you, I am not willing to give investment advice to anyone. But if there is no other option, I will focus on the risk rather than just talking about the profit. We can see that although investing in bitcoin can generate huge profits, there are far more losers than winners. And even we ourselves have no guarantee of profits, so we need to be honest when giving advice to someone.

Why wont you teach about bitcoin to people that are not interested, most people don't know about bitcoin till you introduce them to it. After introducing them to it, then some might be interested why some wont still be interested, the once that are interested you can help them invest, and the once that are not interested just leave them, you don't have to force them. Some people lose interest in bitcoin due to poor orientation, maybe due to bad things being said in public about bitcoin, but if you can enlighten them more about bitcoin,, some of then orientation is going to change.

They ignore something very important and maybe in the future they will regret not learning about Bitcoin from the beginning and maybe they will look to us to ask about Bitcoin in the future.

Most people ignoring bitcoin currently will regret why they didn't invest in bitcoin now, i still keep on saying it that bitcoin price is still very low. When bitcoin was created, few people knew about bitcoin, and most of them didn't invest in bitcoin they didn't believe in bitcoin, but we can all see bitcoin price today, most of those people will be regretting now, even if they now believe in bitcoin and they are holding bitcoin now, they will be regretting why they didn't invest in bitcoin when the price was still very low.

The challenge I always have is to convince people not to invest in bitcoin. After all bitcoin is not an investment and it is not meant to give you profit. It is a currency and if you want to introduce it to someone you should introduce it as a currency too. That way they won't have a heart attack each time price has a sudden drop or a sudden rise while using bitcoin the way it was meant to.

They have interest to invest in Bitcoin when the market is very hot and they are very FOMO to join. Convincing them to cool down, stop their FOMO is very hard. Convincing them to not invest in Bitcoin when the market is heated a lot and might be corrected a lot is not easy. They probably think you are a bad guy who want to be rich for yourself and don't want to help them with your experience.

It is very painful experience so I myself don't talk with others that I am a Bitcoin investor. I keep it like a secret for myself and I will face with less challenge to be asked by other people.
