Bitcoin Rural vs Urban Awareness?

[mu_enrico]

And are there any technique one can apply to impact this persons on the advantage of embracing Bitcoin without sounding like a scammer or a deceitful person. I don't know if any one has had similar encounter In time past.

To introduce any product, you should begin with the benefits that users will receive after using it. The problem with Bitcoin is that the benefit seems not for everyone, at least in the current state. People just buy it to sell it later for a higher price, and it's not a good benefit for average people since they have different priorities in life (for sure not about investments), and they may or may not have any savings. We might argue that the price of Bitcoin will always increase as proven in history, but they don't know that, and they won't easily believe it, so better try another approach.

I've introduced Bitcoin to my friends, and it all succeed because I was not selling an investment, but a means of easier payment. FYI I mostly live in the rural area. You can easily find people who own a phone, even if the internet access is poor, it's still manageable.

As regards the wide spread of Bitcoin in our today society which should be of utmost priority? more awareness in urban cities or Exposure in rural communities?

If everyone plays their part bitcoin will become more popular quickly. In any place you find yourself either in the rural or urban place, and discover that there is poor awareness about bitcoins and people do not know what it is, just work with that environment and do your best to change. If you are in the rural areas and try to make bitcoins more popular and someone in the urban area also works to make Bitcoins popular, with the collective effort, knowledge about bitcoins will increase both in the rural and urban areas. The two areas are of priority.

And how fast will adaptation and acceptance take place.

It won't happen very fast. Just as gradual as it has been happening. Read down!

There was obviously when I was worried about what you have discussed about. But ever since I understood how this works, I do not bother myself again in trying to make people to understand the true nature of bitcoin as against what they think that bitcoin is, a Ponzi scheme or a scam.

Again, I bet you that there is rarely anyone who have not heard about Bitcoin.
-At one point, they will hear about bitcoin;
-Then another stage is for them to enquire about bitcoin;
-Then the next stage is for them to start using Bitcoin.

The most important aspect of the awareness is for them to hear about Bitcoin. When they hear about bitcoin and in five years time, for instance, they still hear about the same bitcoin. They will now know that it is not a ponze scheme. That is just my belief and that is how I have left it to be.

Only talk to people about bitcoin that are close to you, maybe your relatives and do not also give them investment advice. Just show them how to do their own research and make their decisions themselves.

The awareness about Bitcoin among the urban and rural areas are pretty much same and most of them think Bitcoin is scam or some kind of ponzi even mainstream media and economic experts interpret in that way so as crypto community it's important to create awareness among all the people is important.

It will happen only if there are people who can understand the technology as the policy makers or Bitcoin will remain mystery and never be able to attain the actual potential of it.

I stay in the city and taking the idea of sensitization about bitcoin to people in the rural area where I hail from for example right now would only be a futile effort. There's time for everything and it should suffice you to know that it's not yet a ripe time to taking the preaching of bitcoin and what it is all about to the rural areas whereas even the urban cities there's still people that picture bitcoin to be a scam and fraud.  I strongly believe that if the urban cities are taken over by bitcoin gaining much users/usage then the rural areas wouldn't be a big deal to handle.

[Stella Mese]

in my area in the city or in the countryside it's the same, because what I know in the village are many people who know bitcoin and many of the villagers know that btc is the asset of the future and deserves to be adopted as a future asset. as well as city people they also know about bitcoin and its benefits.

so in my opinion btc spreads to all areas as long as there is internet access in that area, because in my area there are also areas where internet access is not good enough so when I asked the person he did not know about bitcoin because in that area internet access not good. In my opinion, the responses of city people and village people are the same, that is, there are those who think btc is a good asset and there are also those who think btc is a fraud.

As regards the wide spread of Bitcoin in our today society which should be of utmost priority? more awareness in urban cities or Exposure in rural communities? This might not be applicable to all nations but there are many rural communities cut across many nations around the world who don't still don't understand what Bitcoin is all about, what it values are and what it represent in our modern financial society.

In my opinion, the dissemination of information or knowledge about Bitcoin, both in urban and rural areas, must be prioritized equally. because everyone has the right to receive information regardless of where they come from.

Specifically in Cameroon, Nigeria and Ghana where I have stayed in at different time, I discovered many rural areas in this countries still find it difficult differentiating Bitcoin from Ponzi schemes. In this case will sensitising people in this areas be a vain adventure following their  mindset.

not only in rural areas, I think even in urban areas there are still many who think Bitcoin is a ponzi scheme and not everyone even knows what Bitcoin is.
I think there is nothing wasted in spreading information and knowledge, any information or knowledge will be useful for someone.

And how fast will adaptation and acceptance take place. And are there any technique one can apply to impact this persons on the advantage of embracing Bitcoin without sounding like a scammer or a deceitful person. I don't know if any one has had similar encounter In time past.

Dissemination of information or knowledge about Bitcoin in urban and rural areas will certainly differ in the way it is delivered and received because the environment and lifestyle in each of these regions is also different.
if someone wants to spread information or influence someone, of course they have to do research first on what methods are suitable and acceptable in each of these urban and rural areas.
If our explanation and understanding can be accepted in rural areas, I think that information will spread more easily and influence rural communities than in urban areas. because in my opinion, the average rural community tends to be more collectivism, not individualism like those in urban areas.

but one of the dissemination of information and knowledge through online media or social media in my opinion might be more effective in reaching people in urban and rural areas, but the weakness is that we cannot control them and convince them directly.
for the last thing that I always emphasize when we want to spread, influence and teach others about Bitcoin, we should make sure that we are ready mentally, materially, knowledge and time. don't teach or introduce Bitcoin but we don't have good enough knowledge about Bitcoin itself.

[Andrija Branislav]

Explain what is, never hesitate to say what is true. don't use methods/tactics that always give positive things to BTC/justification, here's an explanation that is easily digested by their minds and explains what is an obstacle in this time also conveyed properly and correctly. I think by providing honest information the audience will be interested.

Education is important for people as you mentioned at least they understand, even a little bit it's very cool, both in blockchain technology, its benefits, and the potential risks that in the end it can help reduce skepticism in their environment because It's all about building a knowledge base and encouraging an open conversation about Bitcoin.

[Riginac111]

Bitcoin awareness have started for some years, and thinking of the awareness of bitcoins in urban environment Ann's rural environment, i will narrate that Bitcoin awareness in urban is same thing with rural area because it's not village campaign of bitcoins that makes bitcoin to be known, what makes the information of bitcoins to get circulated is help of internet and social media. Bitcoin get circulated through the profit awareness of investors who invested in bitcoin some years ago.

In rural environment some people who is there is also taking bitcoin very serious because they access bitcoin through their hand set and laptop computer, so both in rural environment and urban environment none of them understand them know Bitcoin through class room teaching or learning of bitcoins,  the awareness of Bitcoin come from social media.

Learning is a continuous process

[Promocodeudo]

Bitcoin awareness should be the utmost concern for every Bitcoiner, the truth is, the awareness is growing like wildfire, and discovering the interested ones matters a lot, both in the rural and urban areas, how do we convince the people who have positioned their mindset to believe that bitcoin is a scam, I know that for the rural settlers internet service is one of the major obstacle faced by them, telling them about Bitcoin orally matters too, diagrammatic explanation with the help of flyers will be a good awareness process, for the urban dweller, organizing a seminar will be an immense help for this set of individuals, showing them how bitcoin works with the use of gadgets like smartphone, using the different platform you can get hold to, will help in spreading this digital information.

[mvdheuvel1983]

It will shock you to know that bitcoin is being misunderstood all over the world and not just in the regions that you have listed. We shouldn't blame the method of delivery or the method understanding of the audience. What should be done is that there should be an evaluation of the delivery of bitcoin after each sensitization section both in the rural and urban centers.

The advantage of carrying out evaluation is that it would provide a systematic and data-driven approach to assessing and improving the performance of bitcoin sensitization programs such at the end of the awareness nobody would think of it as a scam even if they have had previous experiences with scammers.

If we can have human differences then we should also expect this same as well with the bitcoin because we have different opinions from the way people see things and accept nee offer, yet we are having a massive adoption with bitcoin than the counter attempts, if we look at how the people have accepted bitcoin from the number of those raising fake alarm about bitcoin, we will see that bitcoin had more people willing to see it exist than those bot interested in it which is a usually thing we should also consider because that's the need that solves the people's want in their finances.

The slow phase of adoption in rural area is due to communication problem. 

I think one of the problems that is affecting the awareness of bitcoin in some rural areas are no constant electricity and stable network,  these can be the problems that can make awareness of bitcoin to be slow. Their are rural areas where bitcoin is well known and people are investing it. Bitcoin is a currency that is well known,  the challenge anyone can have with bitcoin is network issues or no stable power supply this can be a problem in any where and not just in the rural area. Op thinks because most rural area are remotes area it will affect awareness of bitcoin and people would not want to accept it. As far as people have Internet bitcoin will surely get awareness.
