but the feeling of being in control of how you manage your money and being able to transact at anytime without needing any third party permission is what makes bitcoin more appealing over the traditional banking system.

Exactly, when you invest in Bitcoin you will be the in control of your funds, you can do anything with ut regardless of the time, and again even when you think you are saving your money in bitcoin the value keep increasing time by time while in bank when inflation comes, your money will be affected the value of your money will decrease.

Regardless, Bitcoin still remain the best option to either save money, or invest.

Watching that video really tested my patience because how is it possible that you just want to take your own money but you're treated like a beggar.. I think this is why people say dealing with banks is so troublesome because when you want to deposit money, they roll out the red carpet for you, but when you want to withdraw your money, they immediately give you a ton of paperwork that you have to complete.. but that's how it works, and that's why Bitcoin was presented to be an alternative where people become their own bank.
A bank will easily stop you from getting access to your money in your account because of one stupid reason best known to them, and if you cannot provide what they ask for, you will not access your own money. There was a certain amount of money that was paid into my account by my daddy for my tuition fee, back then my account was still a student account, when i went to withdraw the money so i can pay for my tuition and register my course but i was told i cannot withdraw the money until i upgrade my account to a standard account. It is how traditional banking system treat their customers that gave rise to Bitcoin creation. With Bitcoin everyone is their own bank and they can access their money without needing permission from no-one.

A person can be harassed by keeping money in the bank. In any case, the person cannot withdraw his money at the right time until the bank gives permission. This is absolutely true. Many of us may have faced such a situation which is really painful for a person when he fails to withdraw his money when he needs it.
Bitcoin has given a person complete financial freedom, which has completely freed a person from the hassle of banking, as a result of which an investor can easily buy, hold it for a long time and can easily exchange it for his needs. For this, he does not have to depend on any third man. The person can independently control his money, as a result of which people are able to benefit from Bitcoin in various ways, Which is truly a matter of enjoy for a person.

Also the video expatiate the financial slavery of the traditional financial system in such a short video, the burdens you need to bear to get your own property and shows that it is not truly yours in the traditional financial system.
This is the most hurtful part. You work hard to amass wealth and build something good for yourself and your family. All of a sudden, maybe due to disagreement, politics, or someone flexing the muscle due to power and influence, or even through the power of the court (an institution often being bought), freeze all those. That's the most painful part. Just in the name of government and "the power that be," you are forced out.

You are not in control of most of the things you think you control. If Bitcoin could help in this regard alone, I think it's worth to be adopted.
Unfortunately, we cannot do away with the traditional financial system completely because of the important role it plays in every economy. However, its importance also makes it a powerful tool in the hands of political elites and other influential people who uses it to control or restrict others.
That's a fair point, and I personally like the way the centralised system operates in terms of traceability and accountability, so that what's due to a country and it's citizens are accounted to them economically. That's where decentralised systems failed, as transactions fades somewhere in-between.

Above all, let's be smart with the two; the government and the systems they created or helped created will always fight back one way or another, so it's left for us to get prepared. Honestly, if I could do transactions with Bitcoin 100%, I wouldn't mind, but only give in to fiat/centralised arrangement if need be.

One of the main features of Bitcoin is financial freedom, being able to have and control money without the consent of banks. This may sound good, but it comes with risks. After all, if your bank account is frozen, you can potentially challenge this, however, losing your bitcoin seed phrase could mean losing access to your bitcoin forever.

Freedom of being able to self custody your bitcoin (or indeed any cryptocurrency) is one, however it does come with learning how to secure and protect this bitcoin properly. Without education, it may end up being more of curse rather than blessing.
This is a very important point, the more careful a person is about the responsibility of storing and controlling their assets safely, the safer they will be. Losing the seed phrase or letting it fall into someone else's hands means losing your assets forever, and therefore it is imperative to be careful about storing Bitcoin. There are many people who only focus on buying Bitcoin, and many even hold Bitcoin on exchanges, such people actually only know how to buy Bitcoin, but they do not know how to store Bitcoin safely, and this can be a reason for them to lose everything, but this issue is neglected and ignored by many in the first place.
Ensuring the security of assets is equally necessary, ignoring it means keeping a very big weakness in yourself and that if something causes a problem, there will be no way to protect the assets. Therefore, along with setting up a secure wallet, it is mandatory to store the seed phrase very seriously.

That is not to say that keeping your BTC with an exchange is wrong, but you need to keep in mind that you are entrusting your money to some company. Getting Bitcoin is the easy part, and keeping it safe for years to come is harder.

Make sure to check that your backup works and that you know how to restore your wallet before you need to. A bad backup (or one you cant find when you need it) is almost as bad as no backup. Remember that keeping your seed phrase safe is only part of properly keeping your Bitcoin safe.

Bitcoin gives us freedom and full control over our money and with bitcoin we don’t need anyone or any form of authority trying to give us rules on how we should spend our money and not.  Bitcoin is freedom, and it prices increase over time which makes it a volatile digital currency.

However, people have the mindset of treating bitcoin as a savings, whereas bitcoin isn’t a digital currency that is suitable for savings instead it suitable for investment because of the fluctuation of prices it go through. And savings is coming storing some part of our income for future purposes and coming to meet it in that same manner without growth nor declining but bitcoin increase and declines so it practically an investment assets and not good for savings.

For this, he does not have to depend on any third man. The person can independently control his money, as a result of which people are able to benefit from Bitcoin in various ways, Which is truly a matter of enjoy for a person.
But at the same time, it is also important that keeping money in the bank is stable, that is, it will not fluctuate, your money will remain stable there, but in the case of Bitcoin, since its value is unstable, it is generally never suitable for short-term holding. You can keep your money in Bitcoin only if you want to keep that money for 6 or 10 years, then it is better to keep this money in Bitcoin rather than keeping it in the bank for 6 to 10 years, because despite the instability, since the time is long, there will be a lot of potential to profit from it and at the same time the money will be under your full control. But banks are definitely important, because many times you need to keep money for a short time and then it is necessary to keep money in the bank for security. And so it is basically a decision to be made with the type of money, the bank is advantageous in its own way, Bitcoin is advantageous in its own way, but both are needed.

As the entire world transitions towards electronic forms of currency, with payments increasingly made via credit and debit cards, we can expect Bitcoin to play a significant role as a digital currency. The adoption of digital currencies is set to grow in the modern world, as people naturally prefer the most convenient methods available. Given the global preference for electronic transactions, Bitcoin holds a strong position in this landscape.
Bitcoin have become one of the universal digital currency we should consider in this our era. We know how smooth and swift Bitcoin functions and how it has helped expand and correct the things we do. We know Bitcoin have become very general in today's economy, we get to watch Bitcoin put food on our table because we had good entry in the market, we clearly can see how we're able to dive into the market and be able to connect the dots around.

I will always consider Bitcoin because none of these projects comes close and ending inflation, we regards to Bitcoin. I know for a fact that Bitcoin will continue to advance and heights in the system.

That's why we consider it to be far better than fiat currencies, but only for those that know it worth. What makes it more good and different is its decentralised nature, no one will control your money, and no any third party will have access to your transactions, unless you mishandle. Bitcoin is universally acceptable, despite the fact that some countries do not make it legal tender, people always find their ways to use it. Because it is valuable than our fiat currencies, so people just want the best for themselves and they want to ensure that the little that they have is enough to cover all the necessities.

That Instagram video depicts the advantage Bitcoin has over the traditional financial system, with that video you need not say much again to describe what you as an individual will gain from Bitcoin.

Also the video expatiate the financial slavery of the traditional financial system in such a short video, the burdens you need to bear to get your own property and shows that it is not truly yours in the traditional financial system.

The video shows how ironic the banking system, which is considered modern today, really is. Even though he easily deposited cash into his account, the next day when he wanted to withdraw the same amount, the bank refused, saying they needed at least 24 hours' notice and on top of that the branch didn't hold that much cash. 

In my opinion, this happens in many countries. Banks are always like that with reasons of security and operational concerns that sound reasonable, but in reality, it's not reasonable because that money should be ours and we should be able to take it out anytime. This is also what makes the experience still frustrating when using banks. This is also what makes Bitcoin superior because, in the Bitcoin system, it's more transparent and flexible, especially when it comes to privacy.

It's much safer to say it's a volatile asset which means it can either go up or down depending on the trend the market season flows with. Bitcoin is the best option because it gives us that full control of our assets as long as we own our keys.

We need to present Bitcoin in such a way that no one has any doubts or confusion in their minds. There are many people who only tell new people about the benefits of Bitcoin, how to invest and how to make a profit, etc., and they never tell them about the risks of Bitcoin and what problems can arise after investing in it in the long term.

While giving knowledge to every person about Bitcoin, it is necessary to first tell them about the volatility of Bitcoin and all the problems that they may face after investing. Because they should not invest in a hurry after hearing about this and face losses. So they will invest only after gaining knowledge about all these things in the beginning and will be able to protect themselves from making wrong decisions.

It's a "too good to be true" target for your educational initiative when communicating with anyone. Don't try to do that, don't create pressure our yourself because it's an unachievable target.

Whatever you said and educated people, there are different people, who are naive and greed so that they quickly believe in your words; while there are other people who will do more research after getting your speech, and believe in Bitcoin. However there are other people who will not believe in Bitcoin after doing their own research.

Just do what you can do best, don't set too ambitious unachievable task.

Quote

It's a good educational way but you will never have 100% successful rate.

Use some available resources.

One thing that new investors need to understand is that Bitcoin past performance does not always guarantee its future results. Presenting Bitcoin as an asset that continually increases in price may come off as misleading even though that’s historically accurate, and that could end up creating an unrealistic expectation for newbies. Self custody is another benefit, but we know that when you take control, you become completely responsible for everything about your coin, that means one needs to be extra cautious so as to make sure you don’t fail in your responsibilities because that could be game over.

I would not use the word misleading when describing some one who says Bitcoin will continually increase in price. Even in English grammar continual is something that happens but there are stoppages that could happen in Bitcoin case that's why it is volatile but in the long run Bitcoin has experienced continual increase in price.
Although it is important when telling someone this you also express the need for them to do their own research.
