I don't know why some people will just expect miracle to happen, you should ask them if bitcoin price just grow overnight, when Bitcoin was created we all saw what bitcoin price was, and we can all see bitcoin price today, the increase in price didn't happen overnight or wetin one week or one year, it's a gradual process, the same thing will happen when it comes to global adoption its going to happen gradually and we shouldn't expect it to happen within a day or one year.

It's a great idea to "act local and think global" in your caption. Over the years, Bitcoin has encircled the world with its tentacles. Although many of us live in local communities—some of us even reside in extremely distant areas—we have heard of bitcoin and have invested in it to the best of our ability.
Bitcoin has a way of promoting itself to even the most remote regions you can imagine, so although the idea of meeting people and lecturing them about it is a nice one.

Definitely that is true and global adoption is not something which will happen overnight anyways. It has so many huddles on the way. The infrastructure, bigger mining facilities, issues associated with scaling, network speed and congestion overcoming. When we speak about the global adoption we only think about or imagine a world where every single person is holding portion of bitcoin and transacting with it. However, thats not adoption. We need above mentioned fact checks to fulfil the need of every peer to go on those heights.
Every country needs to seed it from their own homes, they need to build or inspire to build infra's related to bitcoin. Whether it is mining facility or OTC for bitcoin transaction or educational hub. We need that much power to go beyond our visions.

its not about trying to bang peoples heads against the wall to drop fiat and only use bitcoin.
its about just telling them there is a different option
its like telling them instead of bank accounts that offer 0.001% interest gains
there are credit unions that offer 2% gains
its not about converting carnivores into vegans. its about saying try some potato alongside their steak
its not about asking a beer alcoholic to get sober and drink water. its about offering him a fine wine or a whiskey

Yeah I understand that. But currently the extent of adoption that Bitcoin has had in today's society makes it just another form of accepting money that will essentially be converted to fiat. Its currently not a unit of account anywhere. Like, if a shop has a bitcoin price for something, that's not the true bitcoin price, rather a converted price for the fiat amount the shop owner is willing to accept. If bitcoin falls against the particular fiat currency, the asking bitcoin price would increase exponentially for that item.
Only when merchants are willing to accept bitcoins for payment without regard to the bitcoin exchange rate against fiat currencies can we truly think of Bitcoin as having become a unit of account. For that they need to be willing to see that alternatives to fiat exist too. Unless a large part of the population accepts that Bitcoin has some sort of inherent value (rather than just being an exchange thingy to convert to fiat later), its not really going to be a true currency.
My last piece of advice to them is that Bitcoin adoption starts with us, let's forget about the global side, how many people have you lectured about Bitcoin this year locally, I asked.
Many local efforts put together will slowly but effectively bring global adoption closer. The summary of OP's discuss is that we should focus more on the one we can do and how we can effectively bring the knowledge of bitcoins to people around us locally first before worrying about the global challenge. Except your environment does not encourage it, sharing the knowledge about bitcoins to people who need them should be our primary concern. You do not have to gather people into a room to teach them, if that is not possible for you, engaging in personal one on one interaction, can achieve a lot. 
Op suggests a compelling approach of everyone doing their small part, but I understand that many won't be into it. Firstly, some prefer to hide that they own Bitcoin because they don't want to become targets. Secondly, Bitcoin can be impractical (for example, if you live in an area with low percentage of Internet penetration) or even illegal in some places. Thirdly, global things like this forum or conferences or other things matter as well. Finally, some may not feel like promoting Bitcoin because people usually promote scam.
Adoption is happening at a fine pace. A lot of websites oriented toward meet-ups have a lot of blockchain/web3/bitcoin meet-ups popping up on a regular basis, at least in my locality. It is great to see. One thing you should not do is push information upon average people. If the topic comes up, go wild on your explanations. If not, don't be pushy. You will likely have an adverse effect this way. As I said in another thread, the most powerful tool is knowledge and your ability to explain to people. If you improve this, you will succeed a lot more in conveying information when the opportunity arises to share it.

Bitcoin came into the world in 2009 and so far it's been doing so well. My last piece of advice to them is that Bitcoin adoption starts with us, let's forget about the global side, how many people have you lectured about Bitcoin this year locally, I asked.
The same thing goes out to all of us on here, every part we take locally will have a big impact on Bitcoin adoption, never get tired of spreading the news, it's worthy.
I like the idea of acting local and thinking global. On this forum I have read a lot of thread where uses are carrying out some sort of Bitcoin awareness India local community. I have seen uses talk to market women talk to school children talk to religious leaders and others.Bitcoin came into the world in 2009 and so far it's been doing so well.

The aim of this in simple Bitcoin adoption periods so when all of this acting local and thinking global as it relates to Bitcoin is that Bitcoin should move towards adduction why most people.
Global adoption will not happen instantly, and it still takes time to be accepted globally, especially from the government side. We as citizens can still use bitcoin as a preparation if one day bitcoin can be accepted in many countries or even in all countries so we don't have to bother buying bitcoin because we have prepared it from now on. What's important is that we have to prepare for that time and having bitcoin from now on will help us later. Forget those who don't want to join us in investing in bitcoin because they don't want to change their lives through bitcoin.

But it is true that I witnessed with my own eyes that many are concerned about the adoption of bitcoin, even though those who are for bitcoin are only bitcoin for them.
We have to start with our environment, from family, relatives and friends, the next are people who greet us in the community, they must know about bitcoin and we become pioneers in society who introduce them to bitcoin and how bitcoin works and to see that it is possible it will spread in the country or area that we live in.

Yes of course it's worth it, and not a problem, however
So far we have not spread about Bitcoin, in the sense that we have not provided in-depth insight for those who don't really believe in it, although at least this is not a problem and has an impact on Bitcoin Adoption, even though they know Bitcoin and have sufficient knowledge. about Bitcoin it really changes some important and very significant aspects about it, but some of them don't have a good direction, everyone is different of course.
But this is not a big/small problem with Bitcoin, day after day so far we feel that the popularity of Bitcoin is increasing and getting better, as well as the adoption of Bitcoin even though it doesn't happen significantly globally. not only that the adoption of Bitcoin itself has been carried out by large companies even though there are some who still haven't done it maybe there are several reasons behind it, but this ongoing adoption has really helped make Bitcoin even better.
Even though we don't spread Bitcoin news, we also don't hide it from the public, we ourselves are Bitcoin adherents and Bitcoin holders in the sense that we also invest in Bitcoin.

Bitcoin is 14 years old, that's enough time to show some results. How much adoption did other inventions get in similar timeframe?

If Bitcoin needs in-person convincing, it's a sign that it's having problems with adoption. People didn't preach adoption of TikTok or Facebook or the Internet to their friends, those things grew on their own. But Bitcoiners are acting like Jehovah's witness, with similar success.
Bitcoin is mostly getting popular because of bull markets that offer a promise of getting rich quick. Without them few people would care about it.

We are already on 2023 while Bitcoin was invented during 2009. It’s already more than a decade for Bitcoin existence and people is not thinking global adoption should happened overnight because Bitcoin adoption is really very slow. I will understand your comment if we are on 2010 or 2011 because people will obviously too impatient but right now Bitcoin already have the spotlight and the capability to speed up Bitcoin adoption. We just need to do our job to support Bitcoin and become more aggressive than ever.

Just let your friend tell what they wanna say about bitcoin or its adoption. It won't be an instant adoption but if we'll based all of the years from the very start up to this moment, it's safe to say that bitcoin has gone that far already.Bitcoin came into the world in 2009 and so far it's been doing so well.

And we can guarantee that adoption is continuosly happening. If they're not satisfied with what they're seeing then let them wait until they see that most countries has it. But the reality is that, it has already come further than before.

What else do they need to get aware of about bitcoin aside that governments in some countries are yet to adopt it as a legal tender, so far so good bitcoin has gained a world rank recognition with all the 14 years Achievements it has acquired within this little time and that's why everyone searching on the internet today want to make more discovery about bitcoin because they know it's a advantage for a financial opportunity for security and freedom, except for those who were not technology inclined on digital currency will assume bitcoin is not moving fast enough with adoption.
Always believed that, even if it sounds xenophobic. But local's always been "myself" first. You can only gain so much by preaching, if I look back on myself, I've always only really been convinced by seeing rather than hearing.
Bitcoin's pretty much the same. I knew about it pretty early on, slashdot was a thing back then. Even covered it as a journalist down the line, but it was really only in 2016 when I read about it and started using it that I was convinced.
Looking back at Bitcoiners I've met over the years, pretty much the same. They all did, and acted "locally". That contagion happens after, and naturally.

I think it is very important to explain the philosophy behind Bitcoin when explaining it to people but I felt that they were looking at me meaninglessly when I was really explaining it to a few people around me. They looked at me like I was a scammer. I think Bitcoin is still not well understood and i can say that the solution to this is not by thinking locally and acting globally. It is much better for people who are respected around the world to tell about Bitcoin than locally. Thus it will be easier for the masses to adopt Bitcoin.
All i know is good thing take time and besides I don't expect bitcoin to dominate instantly without going through many phases in life.. why because the gradual process and dominance will build more confident than instant adoption, and instant adoption means a thing of forcefully wanting people to accept all concept of bitcoin without studying how it's. Remember it may not be globally accepted because I think today there are still some country who don't have internet facilities to access the digital world, it may be lack of electricity and modern gadgets in such country. How do you think they will start making use of bitcoin.
Only 1st to 3nd class world that is active promoters of bitcoin. I my self have been a good example working hard around my locality making sure I impact on some young youths to have some basic clue about bitcoin, and for those who are tasty to know more I do refer them over here to read more about bitcoin due to their zeal and interest.

I've introduced bitcoin to friends and few of my family members. The latter part is upto the person whether to invest or just leave it. Further if they ask support I used to help them, I don't volunteer. People are much interested into it, but at the same time they aren't ready to accept something that is virtual. In my locality some have used the term cryptocurrency and scammed people. So, if I try to spread people might indicate me a scammer. I need to be very careful handling things in my locality.
I kind of agree, but also the fact that most people do not really want to change from the current global standard that is fiat makes it difficult, its kind of like preaching into the void. There's no way a large part of the population will accept bitcoin as a form of viable currency exchange in their lifetimes.
its not about trying to bang peoples heads against the wall to drop fiat and only use bitcoin.
