Avoid using words that are useful to confuse people instead of using simple and understandable words also your explanation must be short, clear and practical and can even show them how it works. This will make it real‎

I think you may need to edit it. You may means words that are too technical according to how you started the topic.

Using simple words can be very useful, but some technical parts are very important, especially that are about wallet setup, seed phrase and the reason to hide the seed phrase from people. Letting them know the differences between non-custodial wallet and exchanges

And most importantly also, teaching them different scam and how to avoid it.

[Makus]

Well, you just have to use simpler terms, using complex words isn't going to help them understand it Better, use things that are relatable or familiar with to them to explain what it is all about. The reason why a lot of people that wanted to learn what Bitcoin is all about lost interest is because it seemed like rocket science to them, some even think that they are not smart enough to understand this but that's where you need to come in to break it down. But if you make it simple for them to understand also tell them about ups and downs of it as well.

[Frankolala]

You don't just tell someone about the good side of bitcoin also tell them the disadvantages too because if you only tell them the good side, they will be disappointed when they experience the dip and see their portfolio going down or when they will be vulnerable to hackers. You are talking about money in the bank. Bitcoin is different because you're your own bank and need to take full responsibility of your coins. When they have started investing, they can learn the technical part because you cannot take out the technical part from bitcoin.

[Loyang]

Before telling someone about Bitcoin, it is necessary to tell them about the volatility of Bitcoin and the risks of Bitcoin. We all always focus on the good sides and invest without thinking about the bad sides and do not take the necessary measures for bad times. So a person needs to be made aware of the volatility and risks of Bitcoin first. After that, we can explain to him why Bitcoin has become so popular and Bitcoin transactions and how we can protect our assets from fraudsters.

To explain how strong the Bitcoin network is, you can explain the example of a 51% attack to him, for example, to hack Bitcoin, a person would have to take control of more than 51% of the world's miner computers, which is impossible.

When it comes to Bitcoin security, we can explain them as thieves and good people, for example, if we give a thief the key to our locker, the thief can easily steal it. Similarly, if we give a person the private key to our wallet, they can steal our holdings.

Bitcoin volatility, Bitcoin is not controlled by anyone, Bitcoin is completely decentralized, volatility in the Bitcoin market depends on several factors, such as the demand for Bitcoin, world politics, rumors against Bitcoin, etc.

However, it is not a good idea to go ahead and teach someone about Bitcoin on your own. The Bitcoin market is very volatile and if a person gets scared and sells their holdings in the face of loss, they can then blame you for this loss. When someone comes to you to ask about this topic, you can explain it to them in a simple way.

Using simple words can be very useful, but some technical parts are very important, especially that are about wallet setup, seed phrase and the reason to hide the seed phrase from people. Letting them know the differences between non-custodial wallet and exchanges

Using simple words is good for a start, but you need to replace it with actual technical terms along the line because the person wouldn't remain a layman forever, he should know the real terms associated Bitcoin and it's concepts it so that in the event he's furthering his knowledge independent of you or he's using the wallet software, he'll be able to easily identify with the terms and regard better with it.

It's very good you let them know that they're not following your recommendations to invest but it's totally their decision so that they don't hold you responsible for their mistakes when investing into Bitcoin or think you've duped them when Bitcoin experiences downward price swing.

Still with your explanations, they may not grab a comprehensive idea about Bitcoin, also allocate to them articles and let them do their homework, sometimes explaining much seems like convincing them to do as you say, go straight to the point, and if they are interested in investing, they can seek guide, there is no need to try to convince them.

Every explanation concerning investment should come with its pros and cons, it's a must to be spoken about.

‎When teaching Bitcoin, concentration on things that matter just tells them how Bitcoin is useful in the sending and recovering of money in a fast manner, helps in the avoidance of high Bank charges and even protects their savings when the value it connects to their daily life, They will know and understand it more better.‎

Be careful when introducing bitcoin to people, they may be holding you responsible for any experience they had, especially when things went basserk for them and they lose their assets, also, some are still thinking that this is nothing different from the online Ponzi schemes and those with such mentality must be avoided, don't introduce bitcoin to them except they wish to invest on their own self and take time to learn and embrace the risk as well, because they will also be required to secure their assets themselves and if they don't have an idea on Bitcoin security measures, they might be scammed, so they must be ready and willing to learn and know more.

[Agbamoni]

Some technical words are important because there is no simple way to explain these terms to people. However, the method of transaction can be explained simply or shown to them in a way that they can easily understand. Using strong Bitcoin terminology to teach people Bitcoin will be a better way IMO, because whenever they find themselves in conversation, it will be easy for them to understand what is going on, and learn what needs to be learned.

Introducing Bitcoin to people is not a bad thing, but talk about the profit and loss of Bitcoin in a good way, then if he is interested in investing voluntarily, welcome him. Many people think that Bitcoin is a Ponzi scam, but when he comes to this forum, his misconceptions are lost. He then becomes interested in investing. If someone tells someone about investing in Bitcoin with real information about Bitcoin, then if he has the ability to invest, he will definitely invest.

When talking to the general public about Bitcoin, you should first tell them about your wallet security and how to invest in dca and other things. You and I may not have known about Bitcoin before, but we have read about it through some means. Someone told us, so we became interested in investing withI know and Biswas and benefited from it. The general public will also know if you can understand it easily.

The basic focus here is a simplified explanation and that would really help with understanding bitcoin better, alongside a practical explanation for better clarity. Most people tend to understand the practical aspects of lessons over theoretical aspects , so incorporating both would really help with easier comprehension.

Besides all this, the honest truth would also be a good recommendation because most people see bitcoin as a get-rich-quick scheme, so its best to kill that mentality and expose them to the truth without any sentiments.

[Shadiq]

Not everything can or should be disclosed easily. It is not enough to inform one party for a Bitcoin transaction, rather, both parties need to know Bitcoin and be educated about Bitcoin to make a Bitcoin transaction.

Wallet management and wallet usage are the technical parts that are mandatory for a Bitcoin user to know. Even since the specialty of Bitcoin is its advanced technology, it is important to inform him about the technical aspect for the maximum use of Bitcoin. It would not be right to simply explain Bitcoin to a person and put him at risk, because using Bitcoin is not that easy.

[Su-asa]

It's simple, you just to start with the basics that's all, not everyone has the same learning process, people assimilate things differently so you have to come down to a particular level to be able to make them understand this. But one thing you must know is that bitcoin isn't for everyone even though the crypto space is open for everyone. some people have no interest in it and some are just trying to learn about it based on fomo and not really because they have the zeal to understand it, teaching such people can be dangerous because they will blame you when the market crashes.

A logically person ought to know that when he is passing Bitcoin knowledge to newbies, he has to be as simple as possible, or else he will end up passing no message.
You don’t except to go meet a complete newbie and start talking about the technicalities of Bitcoin, it would be so confusing to them. But when you start explaining how it is a digital form of money, just as we have fiat money like you said. They will easily be able to understand those basic explanations.

You only talk say the price fit rise and fall, but that statement no really clear to make people to undersay you fit also lose money when you invest in Bitcoin. Say the investment dey safer pass other coins no mean say you no lose money, if you invest the wrong way, my brother, you fit lose money and you no go hold anybody, unless na to complain give the person wey introduce you to bitcoin without telling you the disadvantages.

Make dem also understand say investing bitcoin no mean say you go dey expect some huge in return anytime soon, because we Nigerians, once e reach something wey be money matter, na where boys go just chip in and make quick money comot dem dey look for. Patience also dey involved, you need to get patient with your investment, and the way market dey fall sometimes, if you no fit control yourself, person fit rush sell am.

This is true, for me I think there's no need of making too much emphasis regarding bitcoin because even when you sugar quote it  those whose mind is not make up to invest we surely turn you down no matter what. I'm not saying that we shouldn't make the teaching to be More understandable of course we have to teach them in such a way that they will understand but not by trying to convince them because it's more like forcing someone to go into something they don't understand and there's every tendency that they will loss.

[SPIDERMAN008]

If someone is interested in learning about Bitcoin, then for them can be easily explained about Bitcoin. Telling someone about Bitcoin on own wish can have a bad effect . Because if the person you explain about bitcoin is not trustworthy and thinks that you have a lot of Bitcoin, then you can get into trouble in the future.

You first need to see if the person you want to tell about Bitcoin is trustworthy and whether he is interested. Then you should first explain to him about security and wallets in an easy way. After that, you should not only tell him the good aspects; you should also explain to him the losses that can occur due to his wrong decisions.

And if he wants to know something about investing, then he can be advised to invest from a long-term mindset with discretionary income. However, this kind of thing that will guarantee profit should be avoided when telling anyone new about Bitcoin.

First is awareness campaign, by letting people know what Bitcoin is all about and what wallet is all about and it's importance to Bitcoin

[New Judgement]

When teaching people bitcoin I agree one should use simple words that your audience should understand, but don’t hide anything from them. Tell them everything they need to know both the basic technical aspects of it because it’s very important they have a complete idea of what they are dealing with. Bitcoin have technical aspects and everyone dealing with it should know what they are up to. Your duty is just to make the explanation as simple as possible for them to understand. They should also ask questions where necessary.

[Coyster]

Not so much information for a new thread if you ask me, but each to their own i guess.

instead explain it as money in digital format that is easily accessible in your phone without stressing for the bank.

I'd be careful with this part. So someone doesn't go away with the idea that they can hodl their life savings (in bitcoin) on a phone (hot wallet). It is correct that you should have a hot wallet for small amounts of bitcoin, but if someone wants to store a lot of money, then they must do so in cold storage.

Compare Bitcoin to mobile banking...

While at it, make sure they don't go away with the wrong idea, thinking they can basically store their bitcoin in a centralized exchange, since "it's like mobile banking".

helps in the avoidance of high Bank charges

Bank charges are not exorbitant. Don't forget to also let them know you also pay transaction fees to miners to confirm your bitcoin transactions. Not exorbitant too, but can go high in situations of network congestion.
