To be honest I think in today’s time, the most effective way to spread awareness is through the use of social media. Even if you do not intend for them to see it, they will see it as long as you post it online. The internet has come such a long way to the point of connecting a lot of us from different parts of the world has become such an easy feat.

There are multiple social media platforms we can use to spread awareness about bitcoin and it won’t even be hard to do so. The only challenge we’ll encounter is people having misconceptions about bitcoin and never accepting any kind of reasoning.

Few want it to reach people who don't have access to something new, just like most of us talk about bitcoin to people who have access to investment or that they can profit from through bitcoins. So looking at the target audience, it's not a story that applies on a large scale. Of course there is a solution, but who will be the one to implement it?

I also live in the countryside, but I realized that people here don't care about the existence of bitcoin or want to learn about it, and like you can't talk about a high school math problem to a kid. young people about its potential application in information technology.

Even about using smartphones, internet,... I know there are still many places that have not yet approached that. There are many reasons and in each region there will be different problems. For now, I think we should raise our own awareness or help those who have access to bitcoin to understand it first.

I think bitcoin investment does not have a specific age limit. Anyone can invest in bitcoin for as long as they can understand it well. But some people who are not as young as they used to be might harder time to understand what this is all about and might not even be a little interested in crypto.

So it’s important still to consider demographics and how likely they are to be interested in bitcoin.

I agree that accessibility should also be considered

If they do not even have access to other basic things why bother them with something as complicated as bitcoin or digital currency?

there are still people who are online every day but are not aware of Bitcoin still. they just stay on social media but are not subscribed to some friends who are aware of BTC. there are local forums in my country where i share some Bitcoin memes and updates, but only a handful of users keep talking about Bitcoin.

although we are happy discussing what we earn from the price increase, a few who accidentally click the thread are just there to say hi. rural areas might just be the last especially if an internet connection isn't accessible.

Yeah and that's why having offline awareness programme could be helpful. Tho, imminent resut may not seen but gradually we could start seeing the impact

Bitcoin might probably reach a point where everyone gets aware with it even in rural areas. And this social media would be very helpful to that. But that will only happen if rural areas will also have an access to internet, thus having a consistent internet connection is crucial. If it won’t happen, then I should say that bitcoin promotion might not be possible with people living far from the city.

Yes noted, the fastest way to spread information or create awareness is through social media. Once it's posted, it goes viral and this can help too in the case of bitcoin but then there should be ways to reach out to those who are in remote villages, those without any digital asset or who can't access the internet.

In my opinion, I will suggest we speak or teach anywhere we find ourselves and to anyone who cares to learn, the use of local radio, flyers, newspaper etc. Also open speech in local meetings or town center and even schools can help too in creating awareness about bitcoin.
This can only be carried out with joint efforts as a team, it is not a one man journey so we all can help out in any way we can to make this a success.

Reading this post makes me wanna know what other means top players in the crypto industry are doing to create more awareness for bitcoin in rural area cos i feel that's were the population and investment come from to accelerate adoption but imho it may difficult for them to understand how the digital gold operates but the push is necessary.

We do not need to do anything, I realized about the existence of bitcoin on my own and I am sure there are many people just like me out there, and with how popular bitcoin has gotten over the years, now it is way easier to find information about bitcoin than on the past, so anyone that has any passing interest about what bitcoin can do is someone that already knows about its existence already, the rest are people that would probably not adopt bitcoin until the majority of the world has done it anyway.

[boyptc]

In rural areas, that's true. Many of these areas are not updated with the modern technology that we're having so expect that they have never heard BTC.

IMO, there's no need for you to do something with that. But if you're persistent with that then try to start talking with the people in that neighborhood and just try to ask them if they have heard BTC or not yet.

With small talks, you're giving them the idea and background of what BTC is and also, you're also having some good talks with the locals there.

Individual efforts may seem not to amount to much, but it actually will amount to much if everyone is committed to it. If I can successfully convince one person to invest in Bitcoin and then you on your part can successfully convince another person and then those people, we convince go ahead to convince others before we know everyone around us must have heard about Bitcoins. There is limitation to talking to people about Bitcoin which is that in some countries it is very illegal, and you can put it yourself in a direct risk to even be discussing about bitcoin due to laws and policies. Before you try to create awareness about Bitcoin make sure you know the legal implications and existing policies.

I fell like the problem is not awareness because at this point the majority of people should have heard about bitcoin, is difficult to think that someone really never heard about it. What is more complicate for many people is actually accessing bitcoin because you need to be a little tech savvy, maybe even more than a little, and be able to properly store your funds. At the same time you must avoid scams. I mean, I get why many people are kind of scared of bitcoin, we're talking about something that when it's gone, it's gone, you'll never get it back if you make a mistake.

[Churchillvv]

Personally I don't think bitcoin needs any more awareness to be created whether in the rural areas or urban areas, bitcoin does not need advertisement anymore as it has already made its way out to an extent.

As time goes on even without people advertising or creating awareness through any of the known means bitcoin will keep prevailing as it is the father of all other cryptocurrencies that are busy shaking the internet for fame as they keep struggling so bitcoin is reaching the remote areas too. Infact in technological advancement it takes just some years before the world advances into it. So I believe in a few times/years coming bitcoin knowledge will reach every part of the world. Note; knowledge spreads so bitcoin knowledge will also spread.

We have to understand that no matter how we try, they are still so many people that won't be part of it. From the example you shared about yourself, I will assume that you are a digital literate, meaning you know how to use the internet, also know how to read on your own and probably carry your own personal research. But you and I know very well that not everyone can do this due to several reasons (most especially the inability to read and write). We also both know that Bitcoin is not something that anyone can jump into, which proves that there is a need of learning it's concepts.

As popular as mobile devices, it would be very shocking to also know that not everyone still have access to it. There are several things that are available around us, but are uncommon to others due to high level of poverty and other factors. Adoption of Bitcoin would definitely spread wide, but I don't think everyone (over 8.5billion people) would hear about it or even key into it. Just my opinion.

This is true; it's not about awareness; it's about how people are being scared and it's too complicated for them to start in bitcoin or crypto currency. I know we all also feel the fear, as we know from the start that bitcoin has a risk of losing money, and of course, who will not be cautious about that? But every loss or mistake is part of the development. I mean, if you don't have the will and the mindset to handle the risk and losses, then you don't deserve the rewards that may come. Bitcoin and cryptocurrency are not for everyone; it takes a lot of courage and strong will to be able to navigate well in bitcoin or any crypto currency. So every newbies should be able to know and measure risk that they can take they should be strategic and wary of what they can risk and how much they can risk.

The problem is still awareness or rather awareness is still part of the problem.
There are still people who have not heard about bitcoins, no matter how unimaginable it may sound. In addition to the people who have never heard about it at all, there are people who have heard about Bitcoins but they have the wrong information about it and speaking to them about it all, trying to create awareness about Bitcoin may just correct that wrong information that they have.

Your approach here should be a welcome development if we can collectively make it happen. I a good number may not quickly understand how Bitcoin work but gradually a lot will be onboarded.

Do you see how contradicting that is? They do not have access to the internet what use would they have of bitcoin then? They won’t even get to use it as a currency. How would they even buy it in the first place?

Do people still use those traditional media platforms? Probably those who do will not care about bitcoin at all.

Internet is very basic in modern societies but there are people who live in remote areas and with low socioeconomic status don't have access or barely have access to Internet.

However if they want to learn, Internet is a powerful tool to help them. With modern technology, if they want to learn about it, no other better way than learning from free available resources from Internet.

I agree that people must have Internet to buy Bitcoin, use it even they can learn it offline with paper, books, handouts.

Do people still use those traditional media platforms? Probably those who do will not care about bitcoin at all.

Each market cycle, each halving, Bitcoin is mentioned a lot on traditional media platforms. It's perfect time for people to learn about Bitcoin after hearing about it for a first time. It's certainly that some or many of them will ignore what they heard and will not care about Bitcoin.

We don't actually need to do all that to help increase the awareness of Bitcoin. Sincerely, it would be easier to convince someone into investing in Bitcoin, especially those who has never heard of it before but has been looking for a way to make good profits online. Ones such persons are introduced into Bitcoin, with the idea that they can make so much profit, they won't wanna waste their time in doing any further research and rush into investing. When the market suddenly experience a dip, they start pointing fingers.

This is the reason why we shouldn't convince anyone to invest but let them make their own  decisions. We only have to spread the word in any means possible if we can. But don't try to force or convince anyone into investing.
