Do you have a hard time bringing new people to the forum?

[Ever-young]

One thing about bringing people to this forum is you need to look at how the person think and his level of intellectual if they are the type that can learn and all of that, my self I have seen people whom I introduce to the forum over the years only few many of them are still active till date as most of them did not treat the forum as a community to gain information, but there is someone among everyone whom I brought here who have gained more crypto knowledge that me who brought him here and he is even doing well with a higher rank account than me who brought him here, the thing is it’s a matter of willingness and ready to learn some people are not even worth to be in the crypto space to start with so you meet such people it will be difficult to put them on the line.

That's very correct brother, I don't think anyone can make it here and I say this prior to the level of seriousness and willingness that person has to learn because most person are lazy and don't want to do anything that will actually stress them and that's why they feel this place is certainly a no no to them. Like you, I actually brought someone to learn and also maybe enjoy the privileges that the forum present but due to pride and so many unmentionable character the person actually quite along the  way and gave up and since I have been very reluctant even if someone says he has developed interest in Bitcoin.

[Egii Nna]

I don't know if any of you faced this challenge, if yes, how were you able to proceed?

I haven’t brought someone to this forum yet, but I have the plan to do so. To be sincere, not everyone is ready to learn more, and most people find it hard to learn when they discover that others are gaining some token in the signature campaign. That is when they will start doing the best they can in order to get merit, rank up, and enrol in the signature campaign, which is not the main aim of their coming here.

Apparently, explaining bitcoin itself and the bitcointalk forum to someone who knows nothing about it is one of the toughest and hardest projects to embark on because you are not in a position to persuade them or encourage them to join. You are just going to explain the usefulness of it, which comprises the positive and negative aspects of bitcoin. Most people tend to have poor passive knowledge of understanding things, especially when it comes to crypto aspects, where they view all cryptocurrencies as scams. That is what most people find hard to understand. That is why sometimes explaining cryptocurrency to others is very hard.

But I also have a plan to do so. Definitely, I will also go on my own project to see if I will be able to educate some people about bitcoin and bitcoin talk itself. I pray it will be successful, even though I know that it will be one of the toughest projects to go on.

I never actually shill crypto, so I don't know. But I always mention this forum whenever anyone ask me about crypto. And believe it or not, there are many people out there that have known crypto for a while, and have invested their money on Bitcoin and other altcoins that still has no idea about this forum.

Back in 2017, when I search about Bitcoin, Bitcointalk is on the first page of google search, but nowadays there are a lot of internet site that talked about crypto and Bitcoin, and maybe those site are appears first, on the top google search, not Bitcointalk anymore.

[inthelongrun]

I always wanted myself to be private. There are a few people who personally knew that I have a portfolio in crypto. And when they tried to ask me for more bitcoin and crypto information, that was the time I told them to visit bitcointalk and if possible to open an account in order for them to ask more questions and interact with the crypto community. I also told them that the forum was originally founded by the founder of bitcoin itself and that known crypto personalities such as Vitalk Buterin, were here. But that is all. I have no plans to suddenly approach strangers or even friends to open an account in this forum.

[reagansimms]

Waiting is better than inviting, not necessarily the people invited to join the Bitcointalk Forum are interested in Bitcoin, but people who want to learn everything related to Bitcoin will ask for advice to introduce them to forums that can give them broad insight regarding Bitcoin. Every day there is always something coming and going from the forum, those who are serious about learning about Bitcoin will try to learn all the knowledge to broaden their horizons. Those who feel tired or think Bitcoin is complicated and strict will choose to stop and leave the forum. No need to bother introducing Bitcoin and this forum to as many people as possible. Someone who wants to learn about Bitcoin will come to you to ask for help.

[Distinctin]

I never had experienced this challenge because I don’t have plans to attract people as well in the forum. Although I believe this forum is an amazing one, but it’s not that I don’t want others to get to know this forum, but if they really want to become knowledgeable about bitcoin and the crypto space, then they should work on it and do their due diligence to research on where to get reliable information about bitcoin.

However, I can always recommend bitcointalk forum to the people who are interested in getting to know bitcoin but it only ends there. They should be responsible enough to educate theirselves if they really are determined to acquire knowledge about bitcoin and the whole crypto space.

[Lukmanfirdaus1]

yes of course, I even invited my little brother to join this forum, the first day it was successful and then her account was never opened again until now, I asked why? he answered that he didn't know where to start, there was too much this and that, he explained with lots of complaints. in the end he left, even though I had explained in as much detail as possible but that was what happened. Joining this forum should be of your own volition and high motivation, so if it's just an invitation without motivation, be like my little brother.

[sokani]

Honestly, I take my privacy very seriously, and on that note I don't want friends or colleagues to know that I've crypto assets. Whenever a discussion about cryptocurrency comes up, I rarely participate because I don't want to raise an eyebrow that I've some crypto stach. However, some of the rookie mistakes I do see online makes me feel compelled to introduce two friends to the forum since they're also interested in cryptocurrency. I've not heard any response from them, so take it that they're not interested.

[DVlog]

Why do you need to tell everyone about the forum? I don't talk about crypto or about this forum with non-crypto people because I see how hard it is to convince a non-crypto person about crypto. When they heard about crypto, they started calling it a scam and when they saw the forum they gave disappointed feedback about the forum appearances. People used to use platforms like twitter, facebook where they saw a nice UI so these people don't feel comfortable using this basic UI system.

[kaka_Shipai]

Why would you do that ? i mean, this forum is for the crypto related people and those people don't need anyone to bring them to this forum and the other people, i mean the people who don't embrace crypto, why wound they come here if they don't recognize crypto and bitcoin yet. Btw this forum is a need for the crypto users and it is useless for non crypto users.

Oh, you noticed it too? I thought this site not popping up on search like before was from my side and how I was searching. Now I know better. It may even get worse with time and dwindle further out of high visibility especially now that members of our community are porting to a sister forum. Soon, the sister forum will begin to get more views and that will increase its search presence and score (or whatever it's called). I came across this forum (BTT) with ease in 2017 through a search engine.

[Gladitorcomeback]

I don't know if any of you faced this challenge, if yes, how were you able to proceed?

My journey towards the Bitcointalk in 2016 where I was in the search of online earning opportunity. In this years I created accounts in many websites but I gives up and then I start proper work after some years. I learned a lot here especially from local membera who guide me well. It is not easy for complete newbies to follow all rules and most of them even don't know the real purpose of this Forum.

As far as attracting new members so I think our strategy should be change for every person. Some people just want to earn by doing various task so we can introduce them bounty section, similarly some members are fond of knowledge ,some people work to trade so we can introduce Bitcointalk according to everyone mindset. Local board can play a good role for this purpose where one can start from here and the gradually he will learn and understand the BTT forum

[Porfirii]

In my case, I have a very close friend who used to post here (I convinced him to come here) back in 2017-2018. Merit system discouraged him and stopped posting (he was about to rank up when the new policy came into force). In fact, it also happened to me, at a lower degree.

I've been recently insisting him to come back, but he works many hours and the little time he has left he needs to rest, apart from the fact that here in Spain people don't often communicate in English so his level is quite low, which makes it even harder for him to participate in any discussions here apart from the ones held in our local board.

[HajiBagi]

As for your first visit to the forum, that is how things work here. No one will tell me that this is their first time here and that they find it so easy; those who claim otherwise must have heard about it or experienced it themselves. Without patience, you will never be able to accomplish anything in this life. I was first introduced to this forum by someone I believe in, so I never give up, even though there was a period when things weren't going well and I thought I might as well give up. However, because I have patience and hope for the forum, I am still here today, participating in discussions, sharing ideas, and learning more about it.

Regarding introducing people to the forum, I truly struggle with doing so because many of the people I have introduced have left because they couldn't stand it and I didn't hold it against them. A small percentage of people still believe in this forum, but many of the people I introduced have left. I have made it clear that I won't introduce anyone to the forum again unless they approach me and ask me to do so because doing so without their request is like wasting my time, and some may assume you are going to scam them.

Merit system expose lazy people and their intention since they will not last long here since they might find it hard and state a lot of reason then quit. This will mean that this forum is for those people who can spend a lot of time researching a lot and can able to provide good interaction to other people since if they could just able to get a knowledge first and stop focusing on the benefits for sure they will not get frustrated and rather they might spend time to discuss a lot of things about crypto.

Working hours is not actually a reason for people to stop using this forum since if they are really interested to partake or spend time here for sure they find ways to spend some minutes to know how the forum works and go participate in the discussions tackled up by people in this platform.

[letteredhub]

You won't know the benefits of keeping silence on some things until you find yourself hooked in wrong places or people. Before now, I had this attitude of wanting to talk to persons around me I perceive to be smart about bitcoin and the benefits but it started to turn upside down. differently from what and how i expected it will go. Did you know I had some persons around me nicknaming me bitcoin man.
Aside the security threat that can have on me when strangers hear someone calling me such name I also felt embarrassed, and somehow I had restrain from talking about it except it's with someone that's already into bitcoin. The brainwash is that when people hear you're into bitcoin they quick assume you must be swimming in too much money and may decide to mark you for attack. Staying low is safer and better.  Let them make use of the internet

Well, I don't know you but if I only had 3 hours a day to have dinner and spend little time with my family before going to bed, I think that I would also prefer to spend that time with them instead of researching and posting in this or any other forum.

You're right: lazy people have no room here; but there are other reasons too for not being here, apart from laziness.

[BITCOIN4X]

It's no one's responsibility to bring more users to bitcointalk, but I tend to prefer introducing them to bitcoin. If they are interested in bitcoin and feel it is important to discuss, then I can recommend them to come to this forum. There is a difference between being interested in bitcoin discussions and being interested in the opportunity to make money on the bitcointalk, usually the motivation is different.

There is no specific invitation and I am not willing to introduce bitcointalk specifically to random people without any basic interest in bitcoin. For me, this is not a challenge, nor a responsibility.

[lalabotax]

Personally, I never bring people to this forum first. Because after all, I will not be able to guarantee how and what can be produced from here. Because most of those who ask about this forum are sure to have heard or know that you can make money from here. So several times I heard that they wanted to come here and wanted to get money quickly, and strangely enough, I had time to think about many things from here. It's as if that is what they really think about and is the main goal for being here, namely to have a lot of income easily.
That's why, if anyone really wants to enter and join this forum, I always invite them to learn about anything here, not immediately focus on the income they can get. What you are fighting for and what your efforts are here will determine the results you can get here. And of course, never promise big results by joining this forum.
