that is good dear,
this is also how i started too and it is really helping me to gain vast knowledge and with the same method i m trying to impact more people.
now what i do think is that; if someone do not introduce me how would i been able to enjoy the features of bitcoin and altcoin so this came into me and i decided to show others same way i was introduced too to keep the world spreading about digitalization of cryptocurrency blockchain.

okay i have got a lot from you all, thank for the feedback
i will try my best to be innovative, creative and make it easier for them to understand how it works.

Ask first if what is his motive or reason why he wants to become familiarized with bitcoin and blockchain technology.

Because there are some people who are only attracted when they see money, investment, and huge profits in the market even if they are not willing to work hard.

Besides lack of knowledge, beginners do have lack of patience when it comes to that and they want an instant and immediate profit.

When you will teach them how these two works, tell them to practice self-discipline and patience first.

It will surely be a complex situation, as rural communities are mostly consisting of non-technical people. Thus, try to explain the concept of bitcoin in a less complicated method. Perhaps, a visual representation may help for a better insight. Also, if you want to educate people about bitcoin, then you should focus on it first. It will be difficult for them to acknowledge the entire information with other things being linked to it. Better do it slowly for efficient learning.

It is really hard to teach someone who is not willing to learn or who is not interested about it.

Learning without willingness or focus is useless and nonsense especially that if you are willing to teach but the person you are talking to is not valuing all of the things that you're saying.

Bitcoin and blockchain technology is a complex thing to learn because it has a wide scope that you need to understand not only bitcoin itself. You need to study the market, the techniques, the strategies, making predictions, and etc., also on how you will make yourself disciplined, wise, and successful.

Once you achieve that, don't hesitate to teach other people who are willing to learn just you do before.

I talk about blockchain, which you mentioned in your post, and now you talk about cryptocurrency. These are two very different things. Blockchain is a programming pattern, cryptocurrency is a system that uses this pattern. It's okay to talk to broad audience about Bitcoin, as it's the only cryptocurrency worth attention, but you shouldn't spend too much time talking about blockchain - this knowledge is only needed for programmers who want to be blockchain developers, and they will learn it somewhere else.

This is basically the way I describe it to people who are not IT or tech savvy.

What is bitcoin?
Imagine there's a coin that is currently worth thousands of US dollars, but it's not made of silver, gold, platinum or any other precious metal. In fact, it's not the kind of coin you can carry in your pocket or put in a piggy bank. It's a digital currency, which means that it exists only as an electronic record on a blockchain.^[1]

It is not affiliated to any country or government, and thus does not have a central issuing body or a regulatory body. As a consequence, bitcoin is a decentralized currency.

What is blockchain?

Imagine playing cards with a few strangers, but none of you have poker chips, and you've all left your money at home.
Since there's no money on the table, each of you takes out your notebooks, and all of you start writing who's betting how much, who's won, and who's lost. No one trusts anyone else at the table, so everyone keeps their notebooks to themselves.
At the end of each round, you all compare what you wrote down. That way, if someone makes a mistake or decides to cheat to add some extra money to themselves, that attempt is easily caught.

After a few rounds, the entire page of your notebook will be filled with notes on cash flow. You may call each page a "block of transactions".
Eventually, the notebook will have pages and pages of information, that is a chain of blocks.^[2] Thus: block + chain = blockchain

The best way you can get them to understand bitcoin is by first answering their questions and clearify them on why bitcoin is not a scam. You're so focused on convincing them to get into bitcoin without realizing they have worries. Why do they call bitcoin a scam, have they been affected in one way or the other from the countless ponzi scheme out there or bitcoin doublers that have ended up scamming them. If you can get this information from them then you'll be one set ahead of successfully convincing them to see the good in the technology.

Make them understand none of those platform offering then specific rewards daily or weekly depending on how their investment options specify aren't related to bitcoin or the blockchain technology entirely instead they're platform leveraging on the popularity of bitcoin to push for their scammy businesses.

Do understand that many individual have fallen victims to the countless crypto related scams out there so to avoid further regrets they decide to tagged the industry a scam. Others that haven't experienced this personally must have heard stories therefore when even you intend convincing anyone to see the importance of joining the industry make them understand first what the industry is trulys all about and not the get rich quick story circulating round.

First what is the impression of your country towards crypto specially Bitcoin?because there are some places in where crypto sounds more negative so attracting them to believe is really a hard task that needs dedication and patience.

While some Place has a Good ambiance when talks about crypto and welcoming you open arms.

But before hand,the very important thing is "You are Literally Knowledgeable about Bitcoin and cryptos" because you will not encourage someone if you don't really understand what you wanted them to learn.

If a person wants to learn something then they will make ways to understand it, to help them understand the world of bitcoin, you may start teaching them about cryptocurrency.
1. What is cryptocurrency.
2. What can we do about it.
3. What is the purpose of cryptocurrency.
4. Inform them about the blockchain and decentralization.

You may also suggest them to join this forum, just like what I have done to gain more knowledge about cryptocurrency, I am not that familiar with cryptocurrency, and then one day my friend invited me to join his forum and it helps me understand the world of crypto.

I think it would be very challenging to explain bitcoin to them if their initial reaction is refuse the information you're giving them and if they are not showing even a bit of interest to what you want to share.

I think, the good first step is to catch their interest. Tell them or show them that it's not a scam and it has lots of potential. Be the living proof that bitcoin and blockchain is actually beneficial. If you got their attention, slowly feed them the details. Just the basics first so that they won't be overwhelmed with all the information they're getting. If they have decided to continue on learning, then that's the time to go on the more technical and/or broader side of it.

You should not obligate to introduce it to them unless they requested and wanted to know about it. In my case, I had been into that scenario but I never got the problem introducing the bitcoin and blockchain to him because of his interest to learn. This is why it is better to allow others to learn by themselves and just answer the questions they wanted to ask in you if they get confused on other things. This is how they should learn and should undergone a process.

For the same reason why someone want to understand what brakes on a car do.  Then problems are averted and failures are quickly resolved.

A taxi cab driver need not learn how brakes work.  But becoming a better driver (especially in inclement weather) is faster and easier when he does.

Not saying that a bitcoin storm is expected.  But learning does have advantages.

What is a best written primer on blockchains?

The socio-cultural and educational differences make it necessary to use a different approach. In addition, technological advances also have a great influence on the provision of education to get to know bitcoin. In addition, differences in the rules of each country are very influential. Therefore, in my opinion, the introduction of bitcoin should be from the basics such as: what is bitcoin, its advantages and disadvantages, its uses. After that you can expand the topic to develop the topics that interest him.

Some times it's very worrisome and stressful trying to impact someone who is not eager to learn and understand things as you do. But one thing for sure is that with time everyone would be used to cryptocurrencies as many suppler merkets and store has started accepting bitcoin as means of payment.

What could be the peoblem and what is their reason to restrict people from using cryptocurrencies?
Anyway nevertheless, the way you could show or introduce blockchain to those people who doesn't believe it is that living an examplary life style by which it's reflecting on you so if they find out that you are doing well probably you are living large and driving a very good car I think they will pay attention to you while talking to them because you are made from Crypto.

You can teach them  but you can't force them to learn it . There should be a reason for them to want it so you can easily explain it to them . If the person you want to pass your knowledge doesnt want it even you have a good intentions  you will be tired explaining it to them . If you really want that the better thing you need to do is to have a seminar in your city or state and invite the people you want to teach about blockchain and crypto do it in a group.

Now with the way things are going, don't you think the earlier the better we start educating people about cryptocurrencies??

I was in opportune to speak with most of colleague in city where I m telling them about usefulness of bitcoin many other currencies today they are happy, I m also introduce them how to make use of binance to trade today I m being compensated with some Satoshi as an appreciation.

Now, if I don't do that do you think I can be valued to that extent?
So no effort are being wasted so many are eager to learn based on other's result.

For many people this is something unknown, you will not explain it to them in any way until they themselves understand it.

In my country, the authorities are trying to restrict people from cryptocurrencies, which is sad and this also affects

Why would people need to know about blockchain? Especially if they are from a rural area. Have you heard about someone going from village to village and talk about MySQL and MongoDB? Even if blockchain was useful, there's no need for regular people to understand it, just like people don't know how Internet works or how planes fly, but they still use them without problems. But blockchain actually isn't that useful, cryptocurrency is the only successful application, and maybe the last.
