It's good there are some people who actually do such stuff. And if they do free seminars for people they must have good sponsors which also means that there are rich influential people who are interested in spreading the knowledge about btc. Maybe, they gain something from it. Maybe, they just think it is something people have to know (like culture or math). In my 3rd world country I studied at Technological lyceum and I believe right after my graduation some people came to the school and did some small introductory seminars for high school students about btc and it being profitable. That is nice, I guess.

Over here I have seen something like that and I was surprised to see it so obvious in front of the street because my idea  was that bitcoin awareness is still and such business might want to attract people so might think its illegal. It was doing fine but I am not sure they will be conducting seminars because to the nest of my knowledge they will be more about buying and selling of bitcoin for profit.

That is a good effort started by these people in local areas in order to inform people of that place about bitcoin.
In this method all of people from there will start using bitcoin and then it will be convenient for you people to use bitcoin easily to any place for any purpose.
That's quite a big leap.
You can't expect that just because you inform some people about bitcoin and the merits of using it, they'd just suddenly decide to actually buy one and actively use it. That's just naivete.

Let's say you give out 100 pamphlets, 50% of those will be thrown out, another 30% would keep it inteding to check it out but would eventually forget, 20% would check it out/do some research but you'd be lucky if even 1% would actually end up buying and be active with it.
It depends on the people of that area maybe in your area it will happen as you stated but in my area people do not remain without hearing any news any time they do not miss any pamphlet they go through in my area even uneducated people when see any banner or pamphlet they ask from another person to explain it to them. That is why I commented the above post.

Oh nice. People near my home don't even show interest in such kind of thing and think of them as a scam.
But it's nice to see someone trying to spread word about bitcoin around your area. Everyone should atleast try to tell others about Bitcoin. I tried but no one paid attention in my locality.
better to study more about bitcoinand then try sharing your experience with your evidence mate i was like you then most of my office mates are not believing with my bitcoin investment till the time they saw me earning good enough and enjoy some luxury now i have 5 of them that also start buying bitcoin and enjoy the some earnings.

The simple solution for educating everyone about BTC is to find a simple solution. This is not the right solution as far as my opinion goes. Thank you

Quantum Computing Is Real, and D-Wave Just Open-Sourced It





Now D-Wave, the Canadian company behind the quantum computer that Google and NASA have been testing since 2013, wants to make quantum computing a bit easier through the power of open source software.

Traditional computers store information in "bits," which can represent either a "1" or a "0." Quantum computing takes advantage of quantum particles in a strange state called "superposition," meaning that the particle is spinning in two directions at once. Researchers have learned to take advantage of these particles to create what they call "qubits," which can represent both a 1 and a 0 at the same time. By stringing qubits together, companies like D-Wave hope to create computers that are exponentially faster than today's machines.

IBM demonstrated a working quantum computer in 2000 and continues to improve on its technology. Google is working on its own quantum computer and also teamed up with NASA to test D-Wave's system in 2013. Lockheed Martin and the Los Alamos National Laboratory are also working with D-Wave machines.

Cool

This could be an innovation a step ahead for the future because A quantum computer with a given number of qubits is fundamentally different from a classical computer composed of the same number of classical bits. well it is very complicated to explain all of it but if a computer processor and the transistor that has been used in a CPU has becoming more smaller every time it upgrade and transistors for Quantum computers was 5x more smaller than the red blood cells

well this is the future now and what it quantum computers would be use in mining Bitcoin?

I was roaming on the street behind my uncle's house and saw a shop with a board about bitcoin and I entered in that shop and surprised to meet someone (they were bitcoin users). They are kind of startup and willing to build awareness about bitcoin on the local level. They periodically conduct the seminars in a local language and help people to learn more about bitcoin. They have further plans for this activity.

They have helped to purchase 10 to 20 bitcoins to those who had no idea about bitcoin and shown interest in learning about this revolutionary technology.


This is their pamplet advertisement regarding bitcoin and its benefits in a local language (Marathi).



It talks about bitcoin and current facilities which are available to purchase using bitcoins. People would attract towards bitcoin on the topics which would positively affect them in the short term.

I believe we must give our contribution on the local level in order to grow bitcoin in terms of the user base (prices are temporary, users are permanent).

What do you do to build bitcoin or crypto awareness, do you have any ideas / feedback / suggestions?

Well yeah I agree. A full scape Education always helps with the society. But frankly it is very difficult isn't it?

It's cool seeing some members of different countries going out and making their own businesses and looking to do more with things like Bitcoin, and I hope to see more stuff like this on the forums in the future. It's a great business decision and I have to say, it's a good idea for a large majority of people in countries such as this to make something along the lines of this style of company.

If only I knew how to read that lol.

We all know that bitcoin will never truly accepted by the masses because most of the people are too lazy or think spending time on learning and understanding of what bitcoin is and how does it work is not worth their time and efforts, even I often have my doubts whether it was a good decision to trust others or not but when I think that I can get 500 miners and start mining bitcoin and have my own printing money factory if I had access to cheap or even free electricity every thing clears out.
Remember bitcoin is not asking us to use and adopt it as a currency or technology but simply it's there for any one to decide if they want it or not.

i use to remember how i first knew btc if you guys remember MMM global i joined that ponzi way back 2015 without any knowledge i was recruited by my friend here in the Philippines and informed me about the potential earnings i was then surprise because of the payment method hahaha i don't have any idea regarding to bitcoin so i just let my friend to the work but suddenly when the site started not to pay i was alarmed and to my fate i was brought here by my research and learn more about bitcoin investment and the good potential of bitcoin so its really a good thing to do sharing knowledge and let people be aware with the great opportunity.

Just show them how are the benefits for using bitcoin. I don't need to say anymore.
There is not physical reason in bitcoin.
The bitcoin looks like the value of algorithm.
Just show them the advantages for use bitcoin and it will be going for naturally. But you don't need to tell them anything because the knowledgeable person will realize it.

I really think that is a very good combined effort and should be a good example for bitcoin enthusiasts in other countries. In my country last year there is a small but very active group who organizes meetups every 3-4 months. At first, tries to inform people from universities so as they can to inform and educate other social groups.

This is a great news, Maybe If I had some spare time and spare energy and of course a team . Maybe I can also do it here in my local cause I have never seen anyone who knows bitcoin they don't even say the word bitcoin .

Question, OP has said that they helped some people bought their bitcoins? Did they guide them on exchanges or they have sell their coins? Cause I think the seminar thing can also be profitable cause you can trade your coins to the willing persons for them to start in the bitcoin community .

Good to see some progress in India about bitcoin. There is nothing like this happening around me at all, i don't even think that there is any other user in the entire city except me and one of my cousin, just we know about bitcoin or we use it, some other friends know about it too but they are never interested in it.
