Teaching Bitcoin is not do or die

[panganib999]

100% right, there is already a topic on the same issue by mate2237 -->  Don't Force Your Children to Learn Bitcoin. This thread also contains the same context as of yours but he is more focused on childs and you are most focused on overall generations.

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.

But i do not agree with your title (haha) as btc is a do or die thing (just kidding).

While I agree with the notion, I most certainly do not stand by the fact that they portray teaching bitcoin as some sort of herculean task when all that you really have to understand is how to invest, hold, and other basic principles which your kid will know anyway later down the line. I much prefer Sim_card's thread cause at the very least he made sure to indicate that interest is what would matter the most out here. I think I'm going off on a tangent here but really my qualms is that teaching your kids about bitcoin when they aren't interested doesn't mean they are being forced to learn shit that wouldn't help them in the future. If I'm not mistaken the same principle is being followed in schools anyway so why waste time letting your kids bury their faces in their iPads and Fortnite when you can teach them about crypto and ready them for the future?

The point here is not to force others to learn about bitcoin. When they really have no interest in bitcoin, whatever you do to pique their curiosity is counterproductive; sometimes it makes them hate it and look at you with eyes like you are a fin scammer. Change the subject immediately if they don't like it. Perhaps just teaching and guiding those who know how to find it will be a better thing. Anyway, we need to be effective, not cram for everyone.

In addition, we should not condemn too those people who show no interest to bitcoin. Simply because they have their own reasons and their own beliefs, hence they deserve respect too. And to think that it’s not our loss but them, so we should only focus sharing our insights only to those who are hunger to learn because for sure they will also promote it to their peers once they are knowledgeable enough to do it. Yes, teaching bitcoin is not a do or die, that’s why we should not force people to learn about bitcoin if they don’t have the will and interest to learn.

I agree, we have no right to condemn people who don't trust or do not show interest in Bitcoin.  Each person has their own preference, some may not trust a decentralized system since they are more comfortable under centralized government because they feel more secure when there is a third party assuring them of their safety especially when their financial assets have insurance that the decentralized network can't give.

Bitcoin has become an important aspect in the modern era. Bitcoin is basically not for everyone who will be interested in it. Yes bitcoin is an independent process when you tell someone about bitcoin don't force them if they are not interested. Do not force anything. Imposing something does not accept it from the mind. A thing for which there is no feeling, if forced upon it, gradually develops a strong aversion to it. It is entirely up to the user who does what and feels comfortable doing what. Anyone can print money but after printing money I have to convince the rest of the world that this money has value. If I can figure it out I can use it as the main currency.

[Framelover]

I completely agree with your perspective. It's important to approach it with respect and consideration for others interests. Forcing someone to learn about Bitcoin goes against the principles of individual choice and curiosity. Rather, educating people about both the benefit and risk of Bitcoin is essential to provide a substantial understanding and manage expectations. Leading by example through personal investment experiences can be influential, but it's important to recognize that each person's financial situation and risk tolerance are unique. Finding a balance between theory and practical knowledge is key to effectively promote Bitcoin awareness and facilitate good decision making.

I meant to say the same, as you said. And i do gree that sometime forcing becomes necassary like your example of taking kids to schools and some do not go easily so we have to use force because we do know that it is for their own benefit.

But, i meant to say, if your kid is not showing any interest toward crypto sphere then you should leave the idea for the time being and maybe when your kid is showing any interest then you should give importance too.

So, overall my conclusion was to teach them about current trend in technology if your kid showing any interest toward technological studies. Otherwise we should not force them.

Most people I meet, have a way of thinking that only people follow, they hear what bitcoin is from the government which doesn't fully support bitcoin so adoption of bitcoin is slow. I believe generations will change and we will see a new generation that has full awareness of bitcoin, they will accept bitcoin and adapt to it. bitcoin does not destroy the world economy, but rather repairs the world's old-school financial order.

[Rupok]

Bitcoin investment is personal freedom, no one should be forced to learn bitcoin, because learning bitcoin should be based on interestI have tried to teach many people about Bitcoin and among those who were more interested in Bitcoin completely.  But I did not think that those who were less interested should be taught.  No one should be forced into anything, there is no law that forces anyone to learn about Bitcoin. Many people are forcing their children to learn Bitcoin but I think it shouldn't be fat either.Bitcoin investing has its pros and cons as well.That's way before investing he must be well recharged about Bitcoin.So by forcing someone, he will surely suffer loss.

Finding a balance between theory and practical knowledge is key to effectively promote Bitcoin awareness and facilitate good decision making.

Because the most effective way to promote crypto and teach people is if they have interest and yes, if they are capable enough to invest. Maybe I was bad but approaching poor people and convincing them to invest will probably result in rejections. Bitcoin is not for everybody and no matter what we do, it was hard to convince close-minded people as they believe what is in their mind (of course, negative). We also have to know how to read minds and have their time to develop and have a reason to invest and make this their choice.

Most people I meet, have a way of thinking that only people follow, they hear what bitcoin is from the government which doesn't fully support bitcoin so adoption of bitcoin is slow.

What the gover says about bitcoin has nothing to affect the bitcoin network or it's adoption globally, we can see from the few years attacks which has always lead to more adoption because the more they attack the more the adoption increases, the idea that people have learnt about bitcoin is the decentralized nature of this currency and the trust they have which guarantee them the financial freedom they want, this alone is good enough to tackle the government attacks on bitcoin.

I believe generations will change and we will see a new generation that has full awareness of bitcoin, they will accept bitcoin and adapt to it. bitcoin does not destroy the world economy, but rather repairs the world's old-school financial order.

People has known about this common idea of bitcoin and that's why you could see adoption coming fast approaching the more we go, we don't have to force people to know about bitcoin or adopt it, they will always make the decision themselves when it's time it becomes something they cannot do without in the economy, we should also be careful of misinformation about bitcoin to newbies.

There are some conditions that could actually allow for this.
When they say they are not interested, there are actually several versions in my opinion because it could be that this kind of disinterest is because they are still unfamiliar with bitcoin, or they could still be provoked by some wrong news and the last one is that they are not interested in it even though they already know.
For the 3rd possibility, I think there is no need to do anything especially teaching because it is useless but for reasons of disinterest just because they are laymen and don't want to be fooled by something new or maybe they just read the wrong news I think that is a condition where we have to introduce (not teach) so that their views are more open, regardless of whether in the end they want to be in bitcoin or not it returns to them themselves because it is a form of personal choice and no one can impose it.

Moreover, investing in bitcoin is not the only way that can make us rich or financially free. Many people are living rich and luxurious lives, but they also don't know what bitcoin is and do not need to know about it. Bitcoin is not an important and necessary knowledge for everyone, it is just a kind of investment knowledge, and only those who like to invest need it.

I agree with you, we should only share or teach someone about bitcoin if they are interested in it, if they don't like it, then leave them alone. I also have a kid and want him to be a bitcoin investor too, but he doesn't like it, I never force him. It annoys me to see so many people trying to force their children to learn about bitcoin when they don't like it.

Bitcoin is just one facet of the larger tech world. Bitcoin has gained significant popularity as a digital currency in recent years. But it is important to recognize that knowing or learning about science is not a matter of do or die. Investment cannot be the sole determinant of success and failure. Knowing about Bitcoin has the potential to increase knowledge. Moreover, knowing about Bitcoin does not mean that you have to invest in Bitcoin. Hence understanding about Bitcoin and seeking knowledge about it can be beneficial which is not a matter of do or die.

I wouldn't say it's important in the modern era, I mean there are still people who haven't discovered it yet, or very critical about bitcoin because for wrong reasons so I doubt that we could sway them to believed on it. And with that we don't need to convince them, the best case scenario for us is for those who are negative on it fight themselves in the wrong side as bitcoin goes global and being adopted around the world. We don't need to like religiously preach every time we got a chance. Let others figure it out by themselves. And maybe they can go back to you and ask again.

Many individual don't like Bitcoin because they didn't understand Bitcoin yet, some individual think Bitcoin is a scam coin that's use by fraudster to defraud their victims so they won't be interested in Bitcoin. If any individual declare no interest in Bitcoin, always try to know why they don't like Bitcoin instead of living them alone. If the reason are false understanding of what Bitcoin is, always try to make the individual understand that those thoughts are false.

Don't force anyone to invest in Bitcoin but always make sure they understand what Bitcoin is and then leave the choice for them to decide if after understanding they still decide they don't want to invest, leave them they'll come by in the future when Bitcoin is adopted.

Bitcoin itself is not the issue; rather, the confusion surrounding it is. If the words "scam" or "fraud" are used, the public immediately becomes wary. Really, though, who wouldn't be? But that has nothing to do with Bitcoin. Do you recall our amazement at the possibilities of decentralized financial systems? Time to pass it along!

Instead of just spouting technical jargon, we need to think outside the box when explaining Bitcoin. Lets spice things up and prove to them this isnt simply another plan to steal their money. Keep in mind that no one loves to be told what to do, so lets try to keep things on a cooperative note. We are meant to educate rather than command.

Whats the point if they're not on board once they've digested it? Not a thing! They may be slow to adopt this revolutionary technology, just as we were. Therefore, you Bitcoin bros and broettes, retain the faith!

Cryptocurrencies have become a popular topic in the growing global economy. Bitcoin is gaining popularity as a digital currency. I think there is no harm in learning about the technology behind Bitcoin. Because acquiring knowledge about digital currency is not something for which life can be lost. Moreover, knowing about Bitcoin does not mean you have to invest. I hope, Teaching Bitcoin is not do or die its not true.

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.

wait , why there is a word of FORCE? when we are talking about involving money , that word must not takes place because not just because it will look scam it is because you will be blame once there is a different situation to come.

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 is what we will become trust worthy , when we are telling people about the reality in crypto investing and not just to make them invest .

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.
Let's discuss

and for me that is stupidity and being liar , telling them only the goodside and not the bad to come.

A lot of people have made a topic about Bitcoin and how they share it with their communities actually. And their methods are different, but the concept of sharing bitcoin with their acquaintances is the same. And that is the spread of Bitcoin, which is a good signal for other people to know and become familiar with Bitcoin.
Maybe the best thing to do is not to mention the risk that can be faced in the beginning if they are first timers, because it is good that they can see the good use of it as a mode of payment, that's all.

and for them to be aware of what can come in future , because this is not all about gaining but also for their future use.

I meant to say the same, as you said. And i do gree that sometime forcing becomes necassary like your example of taking kids to schools and some do not go easily so we have to use force because we do know that it is for their own benefit.

So, overall my conclusion was to teach them about current trend in technology if your kid showing any interest toward technological studies. Otherwise we should not force them.

When I heard about bitcoin, it was not some kind of call to invest, I was just told that it was a very promising coin that could make me rich, then bitcoin was worth less than $100. Do you think I became interested in this and began to buy? Of course not, a lot of time has passed since then when I decided to figure it all out and then I realized how much time I had missed and how grateful I would be to the person who told me about bitcoin if he could convey to me everything that I was not able to understand then.

Later I made a mistake again when I started buying altcoins to end up with more bitcoin but it didn't work I didn't sell in a bull market and ended up losing all the profit. I went all the way on my own, made all the mistakes that could be made, in order to finally understand that I need to invest in bitcoin. I lost a lot of time because I had to figure everything out myself, so maybe if we tell someone about bitcoin and do it right, then it won't be such a bad idea.

Moreover, knowing about Bitcoin does not mean you have to invest. I hope, Teaching Bitcoin is not do or die its not true.

The purpose of learning Bitcoin is not only that we are about to invest but also, we also know how it works and its importance. And those who have an interest will likely pursue learning and encourage themselves which is why it was forcefully introduced to someone else but rather teach those who are capable and wanted to educate themselves. It was individual traction and we have a reason to learn or ignored it. If it was beneficial to us then why not learn about it but if not, then I don't think we have to waste our time.

I think children are only introduced, to go further, maybe we also have to look at their age so that they are ready psychologically. but of course we have to support their interests which are not necessarily in accordance with what we imagine. as a bitcoiner so far, of course, there have been many heartbreaking and pleasant stories, everyone has certainly made mistakes that regretted, even though they are meaningless unless we take lessons from those mistakes, exactly the same thing happened to me, where investing in altcoins and many of them were worthless until now
