Recently, I have taken a step to create awareness about cryptocurrency among the people I know (Friends, cousin etc.). There are few books on cryptocurrency in Bengali language. I haven’t read all as the title was stupid. I have read one by Mostafa Tanim, "Bitcoin: Blockchain and Other cryptocurrency". I have gifted two times so far, one to my cousin and another one to my friend. What I'm doing is ordering the book online directly to their address though rokomari.
This is what I think the best approach to send a message that they should learn about it. Share your opinion/experience with such activities.

Gifting Books as a gift on a special occasion is a good introductory initiative towards Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency awareness. But have to take feedback about it. Because Bengali is the regional language, what is mentioned in that book is a must to know. The writer's views or experiences might be personal.

Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are hard to understand just by reading. It needs practical experience. Personal use of Bitcoin and other Cryptocurrencies with its environment can give more confidence and mobility in the current crypto industry. Including all safety and security are the most important preventive majors for crypto assets.

This is a good thing because of course, not all the time we need to focus on the digital or online world only still hit different when people appreciate the things we are doing and supporting us, I have never been received a book which is related to crypto but instead i try to buy a book which is the internet of money currently in my country we don't have so still im seeking of it. Congrats because you have support through your environment.

A book is always good to read, especially when it comes to speculative markets and investment, when we learn about the market we do so based on the experiences of some market speculators, the advice of some chartists and especially the experiences and theories of the best on Wall Street, everything you learn in books like Warren Buffet, Livermore, Wyckoff, Malkiel Burton and others is totally applicable to the BTC market, however it is difficult to make a book about the BTC market because nobody has the full knowledge of how volatility can be dealt with, this is the ingredient that has to be treated with extreme care in this market.

Is this digital book also available for download free of cost too or only the paid physical copy was available which you gifted to the friends ?
Anyways in both the cases, it is a good initiative from you to develop awareness about bitcoin but usually people find it cumbersome to read the books when everything is available in the form of videos tutorials. However, for a starting point, it is good that people have something in hand where they can read about it and later learn more about it online.

The intention is good, and is well appreciated as being expressed here. However, @dezoel is right that OP should’ve at lest read the book or familiarize with its content, to see if the book is has credible contents and is enticing enough for the receivers to read it. I think that it would be great to accompany them through their journey of learning about crypto.

The idea that you have applied is not bad, but the only problem is that you said you haven’t read the books, so don't you think that it would be wrong sending books that you don’t even know anything about to some of your friends? It needs to be books that you have read, that way you would know the quality of contents that are in these books and whether they really explained the concept of Bitcoin accurately before sending it to your friends and family.

You don’t just send random books to people, when you don’t even know the contents of the book. So, it would be best that you go through the books and read them, and know which one would be best to send to them.

How to give gifts that are unique, useful and educational about crypto. maybe it can be imitated by sharing reading books about cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin and also about blockchain.
If they (your friends and relatives) can understand and are interested in bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, then you have succeeded in educating them. If they start asking questions, guide them and don't get caught up in things that will harm them, explain about the risks that will be faced. it will be better.

I saw many Bangla books about Blockchain. But what if Bangladesh Govt. legalize the crypto industry. Our neighbor's nation totally legalize crypto with tax regulation. Now very few countries in the world are prohibited to using crypto. When I go to any crypto service site, I first to their geo-restriction page, are they really support Bangladesh or not?
However, Rokomari is a great online book shopping store, my experiences were also great, btw আপনি আমাকেও গিফট করতে পারেন Grin

It'd probably be that I'd recommend books in the first place to people who actually like to read, and honestly, they're rather rare. Most people nowadays have quite short attention spans, especially on a completely new topic, and a rather complicated one (from the outside) like Bitcoin (or crypto in general). I had a few experiences with my friend first but that was because they were rather interested in it, they were asking stuff about what it is, how it works, and mainly how to earn money from it (which is their main motivation I think).

The main motivation for most people is usually how they would make money. That’s like the general motivation for almost everyone these days. When I also talk to my friends about cryptocurrency, they usually ask me how they would make money and how much they can make. So, it’s nothing new at all. And as for sending books to people, I wouldn’t think that’s meant for my friends, because they wouldn’t read it. Most people find it difficult these days to read books, they would prefer watching videos online. You would only see a few who are ready to open books and read these days.

It is appreciated that you took this approach. For a person who has never heard of Bitcoin before, I know that it could be exciting. Therefore, I had to share Bitcoin with those that don't know about it! We shouldn't miss such a great opportunity to introduce bitcoin to the world. A book on Bitcoin, blockchain, and other branches may be an ideal source of information. But meeting other people with the same interests would be great, discussing events, predicting price fluctuations, sharing strategies, discussing new coins, sharing links, and giving advice.

You have played an important role by giving people that are close to you bitcoin book. Gifting books is one of the best gift to offer anyone because of the knowledge that will be gained from the book, you have just added values that will change life for better. This gift will be totally great, if those who have received the gift are readers and have been willing to know more about bitcoin.

Hope this is not going to be a Valentines Day gift.

You can create this gift more interesting, you can add a QR code with a wallets private key somewhere in the middle of the book, or hide parts of private key parts in the book. This will stimulate to read it.

Hope this books is not like encyclopedia and is written in easy language. What is the idea of this book anyway? To give basic information about cryptocurrency? In our digital era, wont it be better and easier to get this kind of info through video, as it is easier to visualize what you learn about?

Maybe its a good idea but let us also consider that not everyone has an interest of reading books because of some many reasons. Some people dont read books, simply because they find it boring. They rather do explore on social media or internet.Another reason would be the lack of time.This applies for those people who are busy doing their job and when they come back home they are just to tired to read.

The best way you can do is to show them how it works rather than simply giving them a book..And if you show and you can do that as a part of gifting a small amount as part of demonstration,i think thats going to be stick and actually be taken seriously. Simply just giving a bitcoin book is not worthy. Its better to show them rather than giving a book.

Introducing Bitcoin to everyone is a great method to raise knowledge about the cryptocurrency, and you're offering them a Bitcoin book is a great idea. However, readers may possibly take the wrong idea while reading it, especially they have no interest and have doubted Bitcoin very much.
IMO, I have never done such a thing in my life, but whenever I talk to someone about Bitcoin, one of the most common things that I've noticed is that they believe their own view rather than listening and show no interest, which is why I believe that giving them Bitcoin books is pointless and wasteful.

It is not a terrible move of yours, but books are becoming less effective because the majority of us do not enjoy reading books and may find them uninteresting. I believe that Bitcoin films or documentaries with high-quality audiovisual content are more effective in introducing bitcoin to people in general.

I don't think a "book" would be good surprising gift for someone to learn about bitcoin. Instead of making them read about crypto currencies from a book which might be biased and filled with wrong information, it's better to provide them different valid sources where they can do their own research and learn about crypto currencies. And since crypto currencies are rapidly developing, the books might have all outdated information which would just confuse the reader.
Just reading books won't help them. Send them some coins. Let them use it while learning about it.

Actually it's a development because you giving them a preferential kind of bitcoin education, what i want to know from you is that what is your obligation and your objectives to make such sacrifice of given Bitcoin text book to them as surprised. From my perception it's good to educate someone who is curious and eager to know about bitcoin, because giving him book that expatiate the necessary things of cryptocurrency when it's not willing to learn... from advantages side of it, any article of bitcoin you read has create impact in Bitcoin. Using this medium to recapitulate, book of bitcoin is good to read and understand the conception of cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin in particular.

That's actually a good start that you've been doing. Someone who cares for his friends and family about being knowledgeable in bitcoin and blockchain has a good heart.
I haven't seen others did this before or if there are those type of people that have been doing it, they might not prefer to share it with the others. Just keep on doing it and you may ask them some questions on what's their impression and what are the the basic information that they've gained upon reading a few pages of the book that you sent them.

Good initiative. Make sure they like to read and they have faith in you. It's because usually, we do not read books by random writers or unknown writers who aren't famous. Here is the main challenge. Sending books isn't a big deal at all since you can explain them in real life to motivate them. If they are interested then you may send a book to study more about Bitcoin technology. Otherwise, it would be quite hard to understand and trust as well. If you can inspire them somehow then definitely they will read the book from curiosity. However, thanks for adopting Bitcoin.

What I do understand is most of my friends and family would rarely go ahead and read a whole book on bitcoins, they would rather watch a 5 minute YouTube video on it or Google it elsewhere therefore I do think the best approach might be to give them some amount of money in Bitcoins that they can use or they will get a bit excited about it and the book might cost a 5 or 10 and as an initiative I would just give them money in a wallet, a paper wallet or something that would allow them to take thing in their own hands. I generally find that people and kids find it more interesting and worthwhile if they do it themselves. Practical knowledge sticks with them for a really long time but normal one doesn't. Therefore I do think that it might be the beginning or something better. I always encourage my friends to join the Bitcointalk.org, tell them about the community and other things as well and recently I got 3 of my friends to join and they are exploring by themselves.

maybe look into local merchants/retailers that accept bitcoin in their local town. and along with the book send them invitation to make a btc address and you will send them enough for a coffee, pizza, doughnut or cake at the local store to buy.

That would be a great approach but you possibly don't know (I didn't share here) that cryptocurrency is illegal here. So, no chance. I would be more than happy to have them such a gift.

Quote from: Madmardigan on February 07, 2022, 10:08:47 AM

Most important question is, do they have an interest in bitcoin the same as you? If yes, there is nothing wrong with whatever approach you will do and besides, they are your relatives and they understand you more than anyone if they witnessed your success using this bitcoin. But if they are not into bitcoin, I doubt if they appreciate that idea.

If they had an interest in bitcoin, they would learn it through the internet. I'm trying to create awareness or make them known with cryptocurrency. They are a lot of people who don't know what cryptocurrency is or they don't have a good impression of bitcoin. I want to make them known, I want to change their perspective.
