Topic: Around 300 to 400 students will be attending my Bitcoin webinar next month (Read 320 times)

This is a very great development and we are so happy for you. This will increase your knowledge and understanding about the cryptocurrency as you pass it on to others. This is not your first time teaching students, am sure this would be a great one too. I wish you all the best in it. Keep us updated on how it goes.

Seems like you have carried out the seminar already, judging from the date that this was posted in the forum, and I hope that it was a huge success. I can also that you were given a limited time of 40 minutes, which I wouldn’t say is bad.

With forty minutes of time you will be able to touch a lot of topics concerning Bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general, if you were able to arrange yourself properly and plan everything ahead of time and how you were going to deliver your lessons. It’s good to see that students are now ready to learn about cryptocurrency, it is sure going to help them in Future.

Well, OP ... I hope this is your opportunity to become the next Andreas Antonopoulos in the world of Bitcoin. Just one thing..... I do not know if it is a good thing to promote NFT's .....  ... I will rather warn people about the dangers of this new trend, than encouraging them to invest in it.

You are going to have a tough time with the old school teachings of the Fiat focused education system, so I hope you will be able to handle that. It will be nice if someone can record this for us and then post it on Youtube ... hint hint. 

That's too bad. Looks like it wasn't meant to be. Seemed like a great opportunity for someone who likes public appearances and making speeches and seminars. Any chance you could still attend and listen to the person who would do the presentation instead of you? That could provide you with some good info on how it's supposed to look. In the future, you would know what to expect. Who knows, maybe it isn't as hard as you anticipate. But I understand that you prefer to back out instead of beginning with something you can't fully devote yourself to.   

True, there are lots of people who don’t have much capital to spare when it comes to investing in Bitcoin. But, I think as youths, it is very important that they learn to invest from now, because it is going to help them and they will be happy in the future that they did start investment at this early age.

Right now, I believe that what really matters is that they learn everything about cryptocurrencies, and when they get to realize how useful it is, they will feel the urge to invest in it. When you feel the urge to do something, you’re going to do whatever possible to see that you accomplish that.

To follow up on this one, I've also realized that they've changed the date in the PDF file they've sent me without informing me in advance. Initially the date we've agreed is on the 22nd, but instead it'll be on the 24th which is Sunday. Unfortunately I have a very important schedule on that day. Plus, it also looks like that they're not willing to change the topic that I was assigned as well as the date and time.

So I have no choice but to inform them that I am backing out. Although it was supposed to be a great opportunity for me, but unfortunately it's something that I can't agree for both the topic of choice and the change of date.

I'll just simply wait for the next opportunity that makes me comfortable with both the topic and the date/time, but I'm not in a rush.

Actually it's less than 20 days from now......

Even if these recommended videos and materials you've mentioned are going to be some kind of help, the Q & A part from the students is the one I am concerned about because of my lack of knowledge in the technical analysis side of trading Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. This would trigger my anxiety if I can't answer a specific question from them, and I don't want to show to them that I am nervous because of my lack of technical analysis knowledge. But I would love to use these recommended videos and materials as reference for the future if I am finally ready to talk about technical analysis.

So I don't have enough time to "master" this TA topic as I have heavy workload ahead for this month, so I could end up having a body and mind fatigue. If I want to cover the technical analysis, I should be more confident and ready for both the presentation as well as the impromptu Q & A or AMA from the audience by studying and mastering it. But for less than 20 days from now, I don't think I'm ready. If they choose to go with my request in the non-technical side and just simply basic terminologies and use cases, I'm more comfortable with that.

I am not a trader or technical analyst myself, but you have one month to get ready. If you have the time and patience, I think you can learn quite a lot about how to trade and analyze charts. And who knows, maybe that knowledge can be the beginning of a new chapter in your life that gets you deeply engaged in trading.

I remember there was quite a lot of talk about educational trading courses in our local Croatian board sometimes in the last 2 years. I could maybe try to find some recommended videos and materials the guys suggested if you aren't going to give up on the idea of holding that seminar.

Too bad to hear that man.
If it is be going to happen that they will pursue their plan and assigned a topic to you which you are not familiar with, declining their invitation is the best idea rather than compromising your reputation.

I know you can make a good discussion and give knowledge to the virtual audience but it was best if you are really confident with the topic assigned and have a long experience as in the case of & A portion is something easy for you to answer and talk about.

I just got an update from the university. Looks like this isn’t what I am expecting.

Initially, they wanted me to talk about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, but they’ve never clarified to me about the specifics as I thought I’m going to educate them something newbie-friendly like basic terminologies about Bitcoin, blockchain, cryptos, setting up wallets, ways to earn, etc., which it’s what I have done from the past.

But now, they’ve assigned me a topic in which isn’t that I am good at. Despite that I am already into cryptocurrencies for a few years, reading charts and technical analysis aren’t my forte as I was just “one” of the speakers for that virtual week event of theirs. I’m not a day trader or doing full-time with it. I only knew the basic functions of crypto trading, but not going deeper when it comes to technical analysis.

In that session, I’ll be given 30 minutes for my speaking engagement and 10 minutes for Q & A. Because of the technical analysis topic that they’ve assigned to me, I’m not comfortable with that and may have to pass this opportunity.

I currently asked them if they can change the assigned topic to something that I am more knowledgeable which are non-technical and general stuff about the basics. However, if they don’t, I’m afraid I have to decline their invitation and look elsewhere. I’m still waiting for their response.

And also about the civil service review students schedule this month, sad to say that it will be moved to August since that’s the exact opening of the classes to kickoff the real momentum like not focusing on one class only, but can be expanded to different classes.

Will update here about the developments.

Even though we have talked a lot and explained that there are many benefits that they can get when they invest in bitcoin, but for those who do not have fixed capital they will think again even though their desire is great.
What you say will be realized by those who have large funds or capital so they can buy at $44k and keep it until the price breaks through $100k.

I am sure that without a doubt it will exceed the number in attendance, if people go to live concerts of some artists that are not so relevant in life, I think that talking about BTC to so many people is something important, and everything is that people they will always seek to have more information about how to get more money, obviously people associate btc with money, the issue of worldwide regulations in some countries for the acceptance of BTC is something that many have seen in the news and in some way they have been interested, especially when you tell someone that if they invest $44k right now, the btc can increase to $100k more at any time, this is something that lights up anyone's life.

This isn’t the first time I am conducting an event with hundreds of students. Last time, the biggest was around 700 to 800 students and teachers combined which was a physical event before the pandemic.

As for the 300 to 400 students, this is a virtual event. So it may not be the biggest that I have ever conducted in my whole life, but rather the biggest “virtual” event for me. Coz’ I never conducted a virtual event with hundreds of students before, so this is on a whole new level. Hopefully one day I can reach a thousand physical and “virtual” attendees in the future.

I may ask them if it’s going to be recorded because I want to have a copy of my own too.

I'm happy you get opportunities to talk about Bitcoin to students. Hundreds of listeners is very cool, but it also means higher responsibility and importance of choosing the right messages and shape the right attitude toward it. If it's exclusively for those students, I suppose it won't be recorded, but will you perhaps have a presentation along with your talk which you could perhaps share on the forum? In any case, good luck with both events, and thank you for spreading knowledge about Bitcoin and crypto-related stuff to younger generations.

Yes thanks for the heads up regarding the timeline. This is where the audience may know what to expect from me in my 40-minute talk about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies.


How I wish it would be with the actual live crowd. Because of my tight schedule, and it needs me to buy a round trip plane ticket to fly to their city in order to conduct the educational seminar (unless they’re the ones who wanna sponsor me the ticket and accommodation just in case), it’s better to go for webinar as it can save me both time and money.

     Man, sucks to know that. Oh well it is what it is. I have to compliment the people within the university that are behind the idea of having this webinar though. Not all schools have enough open minded faculty staffs to actually push such an event which tackles abkut a topic that isn't that much appreciated or understood yet. Would have been really nice had I been in such an amazing university as the one had you invited. Oh well, good luck brother.

Blessings and love remain for you. Hope you succeed. I always applaud the work that will always bring good for the country.You will do better in the future and you will have a role in the development of the country. The country is with you as you move forward.

You're really blessed for this type of opportunity. Only a few folks gets this invitation to talk with hundreds of students, I'm thinking it would be the best feeling if it's on live and not on a webinar.

But considering the situation of the covid-19 pandemic and it's still there although many countries are starting to loosen their tight restrictions, it's still best to conduct this event with that crowd online.

Good luck cheezcarls.

Goodluck! talking in a large audience can be unnerving I wish you the best.

just curious what university is it? is it UP, FEU, De La Salle, Ateneo, UST, etc...? anyway, the fact that they ask you to do this seminar and there are 300-400 students attending only shows that universities are taking notice that cryptocurrency and possibly the importance of it in the economy.

Encourage their imagination by talking about "blockchain". Tempt their greed by talking about "Bitcoin six digits". BUT I believe we must educate the newbies about the basic, ELI5 technical side of Bitcoin for them to have a solid foundation in understanding cryptocurrencies. It goes back to the white paper, and what made everything stick together, POW.
