Teaching Bitcoin is not do or die

[RockBell]

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.

when bitcoin started it was not given the value it deserves and people were actually surprised, bitcoin has gained very good attention and has become hot cake to purchase, true that not everyone will be interested but does that actually understand it and know its benefits won't joke with it, and the aspect of forcing people to invest in bitcoin is far gone since bitcoin has the issue of instability, once the price does not favor them then they start blaming you, the best thing should be that they invest at free will, and once they are interested you tell them the dangers involved in bitcoin.

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

You are absolutely right, it's really unnecessary to force others to adopt Bitcoin because they will not accept it until they are interested in it. Many people who have no knowledge about finance or about investing would rather avoid things like Bitcoin because those people are known to save the fiat in their strongboxes because their mind is made in that way and they won't accept any change at any cost.

When you want to produce awareness regrading Bitcoin then you must have to be honest because if you are trying to promote Bitcoin to people who are close to you then you should definitely explain in details about the Bitcoin's market and the price levels it has gone trough. If you only show the positive picture of Bitcoin's price and try to hide the downward moments of the market then you are doing even worse. Those people if lose half of their capital during a bull market would never trust Bitcoin investments again.

That's why one should explain both the good part and the bad part of the market because the investors are only interested into those assets with which they can gain money rather than losing it. The people will choose Bitcoin if they understand the true potential of this amazing currency.

when bitcoin started it was not given the value it deserves and people were actually surprised, bitcoin has gained very good attention and has become hot cake to purchase, true that not everyone will be interested but does that actually understand it and know its benefits won't joke with it, and the aspect of forcing people to invest in bitcoin is far gone since bitcoin has the issue of instability, once the price does not favor them then they start blaming you, the best thing should be that they invest at free will, and once they are interested you tell them the dangers involved in bitcoin.

So now who isn't interested in bitcoin when you see the price and its spikes every year. Bitcoin always reaches its highest price and gives a lot of profit. Forcing someone to invest in bitcoin is not justified because it will blame you when they lose. But now bitcoin investment is a mandatory investment when hearing about crypto, even though crypto has many types of coins. People who don't like bitcoin because they don't understand what bitcoin is and its benefits, if they know then they will immediately join and start pioneering bitcoin from scratch.

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.

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.

Yes, it’s just as simple as that, if we can benefit from it, then it’s best that we should learn about bitcoin and how it works for us, but if it’s not making any advantage for us, then it’s best to leave uneducated about bitcoin and just focus on fiat. People may or may not like the idea of bitcoin, but since freedom and privacy are the concerns here, then teaching bitcoin should not be a do or die, as it’s always a personal choice and interest to get acquainted with bitcoin.

Each person does have a different line of interest in life on which there are ones who are really that open when it comes to new ideas and there are ones who are close minded into something like this,

on which there's nothing we can do and just let them be since they are the ones who would really be missing out such opportunities.Sooner or later they would really be finding out that it is really something worthy for them to engage on and not something that they should have missed or have known it earlier. Regrets do always come at the end and this is where people would be starting to get
serious and engaging on the time that they are seeing other people who do make money or profits which they should have done it earlier but well thats whats life on which there are ones who do
take advantage on the time that they do see things to be worthy or does have potential but there are ones who arent really that easily get hooked into it.

Just let those people do on whatever things that they do want. Its true that explaining to someone doesnt cost you an arm and leg but there are really moments
that explaining to someone is really just that a waste of time.

Obviously, teaching bitcoin and engaging into bitcoin is not a do or die. People will always have its freedom of choice whether they take part in bitcoin or just disregard it like most people did. However, if people will be a lot wiser and would be goal driven, then at least they should learn bitcoin and all its life’s benefits in the future. Bitcoin could be our future when fiat comes to depreciate, so at least we’re taking an edge over others.

A wild dream I suppose but its kinda okay to dream because we can assume what we feel might happen in years coming but I doubt if bitcoin can be world reserve as  I take its what you are trying to say. But no doubt bitcoin actually has major role to play in the future in our various field of life especially the finance world.

I honestly think that people who are into teaching Bitcoin have an ulterior motive to benefit from their actions.  Like for example, some wallet app is declaring some island in the Philippines to be a Bitcoin Island, promoting Bitcoin to different merchant and using their wallet application as the tool for such transaction.  With this example, we can say that people who have something to gain with Bitcoin being popular will surely promote and introduce Bitcoin but those who don't have any benefits will just ignore it since there is nothing on it that will benefit them.

So teaching Bitcoin is not do or die but I believe people who choose to market Bitcoin have benefits in doing so.

[Pablo-wood]

And also people are more attracted by what they see than what the hear. I believe as some one who wants to convince another into Bitcoin investment the result of investing in Bitcoin should be boldly showing on the life of such person. Talking to some caliber of persons about the benefit of investing in a project without them seeing the result in the project in the life of the person might make them see the option as either scam or Ponzi. Results are better presentation approach to even the most difficult person.

Bitcoin is here to make you money, teach you about money. Shouldn't we just try to make our profit in peace without trying to shove it down anyone who cares to buy Bitcoin better it is a choice that every person must decide whether to take now or buy later.

Not everyone will be able to be  a great teacher of Bitcoin
 

[Faisal2202]

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.

I think if someone is telling you about a promising coin which would make you rich is one of the calls to invest. But, everything has its time. Like we all have stories. In my story, i also tried to make money only but didn't tried to get knowledge out of it. Due to which i ended up with nothing. But experience only like you gained too.

The point is, we should definitely help others, because you were helped and i was also helped by one of my new friends. And believe me i 100 agreed with you that. When you have a buddy with you knowing more than you and opened up like a talking book for you to get knowledge. What's better than that. I always try to teach others about crypto. Not kids, because kids in my sides only wanted to play pubg. So after giving one or twi try i gave up and left it on themselves.

Bitcoin is here to make you money, teach you about money.

Not everyone will be able to be  a great teacher of Bitcoin

I don't think bitcoin has ever been here to make any one money. Bitcoin  has got a lot ot purpose but making you kidney isn't one of it. Only you can get to make you money and so, you have to be on point on all your doing and have a plan towards archiving desired profit.
Bitcoin is out there for quick and easy transactions on the Web and its designed to be peer to peer. Yes you can make money hodling bitcoin but that isn't bitcoin making you money, it's you making you money.

Yeah, a lot of people aren't great teachers or writers and a lit of those but some persons just love to try or have the desire to teach and I wouldn't blame them for that but, I hope they understand that, your students understands better when they are interested in what is been taught to them.

[Wimex]

I have been observing that there is a lot of this issue here in the forum, several similar threads have appeared in this regard, but this seemed to me the best situation that apparently has been happening to many here in the forum, including me, I have tried to convince a friend of the university but without success, it is quite reluctant to this idea of investing in bitcoin.. so I have given up trying to convince him, certainly the idea of showing what can be generated. In is a good idea, but based on experiences, I think it's not the best. The best thing you can do is be quiet, people can be malicious and if they see that you have a lot of money now, you may draw attention to many who want to rob you, I think the best thing you can do is to give bitcoin advice but don't show too much of your wealth... that's my advice.

We can earn some money to buy bitcoin, but when the price rises, our bitcoins rise in price, this is what brings us income. Bitcoin, in addition to everything else, can also bring good profits, and I like this property. Bitcoin as well as gold can keep our funds from inflation and I like that bitcoin is another tool that I can use, and I will be glad if in the future bitcoin will be accepted as means of payment in my country and I will be able to pay for everything I need with it.

For sure, we will be cashless in the future, and if the Bitcoin wasn't used, it was their model, or that's where they derived it, because we are now in the age when people want to use only cards, QR, or cash less as they don't want to bring those bills or coins as it can be a faster transaction like there's no change, just use the phone and pay. We really don't know what will happen to Bitcoin in the future, but what I am sure of is that it will hit ATH again in a few years.

[Negotiation]

I also believe that teaching about bitcoin is not dead it gives more investors common sense everyone works independently and is not accountable to anyone. Many people have no idea about bitcoin if they learn about bitcoin from now then they can control everything in the next step. There will be no problem financially as for the advantages of bitcoin I would also like to say that there are very good opportunities to earn through bitcoin. Those who do bitcoin mining, they earn a good amount of money through mining. There are also many who see bitcoin as an investment the future of bitcoin is very bright and it is likely to go higher in the future.

[Popkon6]

Bitcoin is a resource that brightens people's future. Because once a person invests in Bitcoin, there is no need to teach the person a second time because he himself is engaged in research. But we need to discuss first by teaching the interested person about the bitcoin community through discussion. Already around 55% to 60% of people around the world know at least some information about Bitcoin and most of them are involved with Bitcoin. Even in countries where Bitcoin is not legal, thousands of people are secretly using Bitcoin. Now people are more towards modern age so it is natural to be attracted to Bitcoin. And we have to discuss more about investment invitations.

[lizarder]

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.

Theory and practice will always go hand in hand, both must be studied in order to reach an appropriate decision regarding the choices we make. If we have studied both correctly then getting involved in bitcoins is not difficult because we have a general idea regarding the processes that occur in the market for bitcoins. Therefore, in-depth knowledge is needed before getting involved in an investment, so that all forms that occur can be minimized as small as possible in order to avoid losses.

Bitcoin is indeed more reliable in long-term investment, apart from that we don't need to worry about its journey in the market because we hold it for the long term. There is no reason to force people to get involved in investing, because the decision is up to each one and with knowledge they will find excess bitcoins to invest.

[Emmanuelex]

100% right about that. You don't force people to accept things, it's all about choice. In my family, I'm the only one that's interested in Bitcoin and cryptocurrency. Fact being that I'm the only one too that's interested in doing online stuffs, the jobs I do are online, but that's not the same with my family members; they are all into normal businesses and Bitcoin is the last thing they want to use for their businesses, plus they are not a big fan of investment. Convincing them is just like a waste of time, they just prefer the normal bank account that they are using, and I am not going to force them, as long as everyone is fine with what they are into and it's working for them, then great, we good to go!👍

[Outhue]

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.

I support, some people talk about those who don't show interest in Bitcoin as if they won't make it in life or as if they have a doomed future waiting for them, there are many ways out there that one can take to achieve the greatest financial freedom, everything must not be through Bitcoin investment only, it's why I don't support those saying we should teach kids about Bitcoin and how important it is, they should just know, but it's not important for the kids as if they won't make it without Bitcoin investment.

Our children are our future, they will grow up to solve problems that their old generations can't solve, many challenges are waiting for them and many in revealed innovations are still yet to come, Bitcoin is really not a do or die.
