In some parts of the world, there are a large number of people who have no proper knowledge about Bitcoin and have been misled because of their lack of knowledge. That's why they have such a bad impression of Bitcoin. Although we cannot help everyone at once, it's just a kind of gradual process where you have to properly educate anybody you come across who has a misconception about Bitcoin. Like you said, if you ask some people about Bitcoin and many of them don't know about it, if you want to educate them, you can equally organize a Bitcoin meeting where you have to properly educate them all about Bitcoin. I did attend some seminars where I really learned a few things about Bitcoin, which got me to really give it my full attention. You can equally organize a small class for them, and if they learn well, they can equally teach others, and by so doing, the knowledge will spread gradually.
Yes, what you have said is the truth. The number of people who haven't heard about Bitcoin or don't have good knowledge about Bitcoin is bigger than the one that truly know about Bitcoin and what it means. Some people who have misconceptions about Bitcoin might have gotten the wrong ideas from people who have low ideas about Bitcoin and this is spreading wrong information about Bitcoin.

Organizing or attending a Bitcoin class is a very good idea, it will help people to know and gather good information about Bitcoin. Some people who failed to learn about Bitcoin find it so difficult sometimes when they come across things that they have never seen before they get confused although outside online, it is very hard to find a legit Bitcoin class in some society.

Information campaigns could only go so far. There has to be a widespread protest/campaign with the clear intention of mind you "not painting bitcoin in a good light" cause that would lead people into thinking that we are spreading propaganda to lure people into what they could only see as a glorified ponzi scheme, but to actually just clear out bad air around bitcoin and destroy fallacious or misconceptions about it. If we can only do that with the government's help that would be great since corrupt as they may be, the public still has a fair amount of trust over their government, but as it stands today that's next to impossible considering that a lot of countries either don't have clear set rules about crypto, or are just outrightly banning them to avoid further discussion.

First of all, you cannot take all those roles but instead, you guide them here in this community and let them do the rest to research and to ask questions about what they want to know. If they don't have any knowledge about it yet, then you can just simply explain to them the basics and the dos and don'ts in order to save them temporarily from getting hyped and blindly investing at the wrong time.

Anybody who in this age and time still believes that Bitcoin is a get rich quick scheme is on a long thing, atleast for the fact that Bitcoin has been running smoothly for this several years should be a prove to every one that it is the future of money..

Anybody who believes that Bitcoin is a get rich quick scheme needs to re-orient themselves, or go into research to really educate themselves about Bitcoin, how can any body still believe that Bitcoin is a get rich quick scheme when government of different countries are already looking for how to invest and regulate Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general ?
Having Bitcoin stayed for quite a decade-plus while facing several governmental bans, adoption, and many circumstances that can slow or could cause such technology to go out of existence which Bitcoin has undergone these years, yet stood the test of time and still exists today and running smoothly is indeed enough proof to clear this doubts about the legitimacy of Bitcoin.

Knowledge is everything when it comes to understanding something. The less you know the more you become ignorant about it. Also teaching someone something that they are not curious about is a hard thing to do. No matter what you tell them, they will stick to their own limited knowledge and ignore you. It is important if you really want to teach someone about something, make them curious, and create a space where they will be interested in that topic.

All you have to do after that is to teach them every detail. From good to bad to worst. And then it should be their own choice whether they want to be in it or not. As long as they are limited by their learning, it is not worth it to try and teach them. Let them be. Once they understand the facts, they will be back to you. So wait for that moment. All you need to do is share the knowledge and wait for them to come to you. Not you going to them.

There are alot of reasons people fear investing in Bitcoin especially in my locality. These reasons are numerous ranging from fear of losses , scams , security issues and lots more .I got to understand this by asking a couple of persons what they knew about Bitcoin and if they had any intention of investing sonner . about 98% of them had heard about Bitcoin but only about 10% really understood what Bitcoin was . Of what I could understand I discovered that over 50% of them understood Bitcoin as a get Rich quick scheme which was why most of them thought of it as a scam because they had been scammed through their false idea of Bitcoin as a get Rich quick scheme.
The others which had idea about Bitcoin I discovered were  investors in the Bitcoin space.

This brought me into thinking how do we make people understand Bitcoin properly in order to prevent them from being scammed and end up disliking the crypto space. Is introducing them into Bitcoin talk enough ? If no what else more can we do easily to make them actually get the idea of Bitcoin.
Presenting bitcoin to people as a subject of investment can sound suspicious and scary for a first timer. It will be reasonable if it's presented as an alternative choice of spending and storing your funds which provides privacy coupled with transparency and also giving users complete control of their funds.

Thereafter asking them to go do their own research study about bitcoin, scrutinizing every information they find.  Bitcointalk forum can be the least you will need to introduce to them so they don't find difficulty looking like they are lost in the community with discussions that seems alien to them.
Having a proper introduction about bitcoin really have a lot on how people will react to it.

One thing about people is that you can't have everyone of them on the same page, bit all of them will be able to take a bold step in learning, taking risk and giving it all it may requires to do about bitcoin, we can also take life in general view, people are so reluctant in so many ways and don't show a positive attitude towards anything they do which could place demand on them, some would have been dupped before through online digital investments prior to when bitcoin was introduced, all these fear grips the heart of many and refrain them from giving bitcoin a benefit of doubts, yet we can't blame these people unless they have a change of mind by themselves to give another try with bitcoin.

Well, to start off we can't really force information on other people and ensure that they fully understand what Bitcoin is without them having their own interest, curiosity, and drive to learn about it. From my own experience, I learned that people will find a way to understand something more even without outside factors pushing them to do so. For example, my partner found out about having Bitcoin and my investments, with this my partner got curious about it and started her own research and sometimes asking me questions, as she indulged herself with the information she's getting she then told me that she used to think Bitcoin was all negatives as she heard a lot of stories regarding scams and illegal activities surrounding it, that is until she did her own research and found out the benefits people can get from investing and using Bitcoin.

There should be a summit once in a while about Bitcoin, I see some do this in their community at least even if they don't know what crypto is as a whole, they know that BTC is decentralised and can be easily transferred with no hassle

It's amazing how perceptions can distort reality. Dispelling myths requires knowledge. Introducing them to BitcoinTalk can help, but it won't solve the misconceptions. Newcomers may be overwhelmed by the language and complex conversations.

Instead, start with grassroots efforts. Local lectures or workshops should cover Bitcoin's origin, decentralization, and possibilities beyond “get rich quick” schemes. Focus on blockchain and its revolutionary transparency and security capabilities.

Cooperate with local schools. Curriculum should include cryptocurrency classes or discussions. A well-informed, scam-resistant community can be built by incorporating this knowledge at foundational levels. We want to promote comprehension, not awareness.

Start with yourself. How personable are you, so that people can trust you? Can you be an example for them? Many people do not believe in what they do not understand. Until they have an example to believe in you, looking at your life, they are free to make their choice. In addition, any practice always becomes the best teacher. If people make a mistake by rushing to invest without their own understanding, you need to show them their mistakes. There will probably be those who, having learned the first lessons, will want to continue the path of learning, but you must always remember that it is impossible to be loved by everyone, regardless of whether it is a person or such a thing as Bitcoin.

To be honest, I don't blame the majority of people thinking bitcoin is a scam because many of the times..we have a lot of scammers all claiming to multiply funds X times for a small investment and everyone that has done so has nothing nice to say because they not only lost the investment but profits never showed up too.

And worse off, crypto sensitization on how to protect oneself in the cyberspace is hardly done which leaves room of scammers to have an upper hand...which is why due diligence and research should always be encouraged to have first hand information and how to be make crypto smart decisions.

It is too hard to push the other who is not interested to the things you want to share to them, The only way to catch their attention is to make them feel their regrets and show them first what are the possible things you can do in the bitcoin so by that they will realize like oh its beneficial if you keep them pushing you're just wasting your time like that, they already built in their perspective that the bitcoin is bad due to different crime committed with the use of it, movies and etc. Now its all about peoples open minded if they want to adopt this or not.


We find it difficult trying to recommend bitcoin to others because we have yet to achieve any positive results from our investment. Like many other people, we are always skeptical when we hear about something new and we will only believe it if there is some solid evidence. In my opinion, simply providing the results you achieved when investing in bitcoin is the best advice for them. And if they still stubbornly don't believe, then we shouldn't waste our time with those types of stubborn people.
Investing in bitcoin is for their benefit and we will not get any benefit from it, so don't waste time if they deny their opportunity.

Most people don't understand Bitcoin because it is a virtual currency. Humans can easily understand things that can be seen and grasped. op, you gave the idea of ​​bitcoin, how old are those people? It is very difficult to explain Bitcoin among the older people, they don't easily understand what Bitcoin is. If you want to give ideas about Bitcoin, then try to give ideas among the young generation. Op you first understand what Bitcoin is, discuss the risks. You should never talk someone into investing in Bitcoin unless they are willing to invest themselves.

Earlier people used to raise questions on being virtual. Majority found it hard to believe something that doesn't have the physical appearance have value. Later when digitization happened around, people started to believe and the cryptocurrency usage increased than the earlier days. By that time people who have been thinking on bitcoin being virtual got good clarity. It didn't happen all of the sudden, it took time as people who have understood well about bitcoin gave briefing and the users themselves experienced it. Same as that it takes time for people to understand and stay away from scams. For now what can be done is, create interest among common people on using cryptocurrency on different needs.

The ones who are fearing that Bitcoins will end them in losses, let me clarify that not only Bitcoins but any type of investment have the fear of getting losses. So if you keep on fearing and don’t invest by taking risk then how the hell you will make money? Regarding the scams, it can’t be stopped to be honest. Scammers use all the possible methods to scam people, they use Bitcoins, sometimes credit cards and more. So the main thing is that, whoever is wise and got a broader perspective will definitely choose to invest in Bitcoins. At the end of the day we can’t force everyone.
I don't think so, because some people have their own opinions and we must respect them, especially if they just don't want to use Bitcoin or invest in it because they saw other opportunities non-Bitcoin related.
I agree with scammers because even in non-Bitcoin like in fiat, scammers are everywhere, it is just we can't control it, we must be aware of any scam to avoid it.

Why is every newbie always want to be a superhero?

I want to convince people about Bitcoin, I want to teach people about Bitcoin, Bitcoin will solve poverty, Bitcoin save me and my country etc etc. In reality people don't give a shit about someone else problem, it's not their business, so if you don't want to invest in Bitcoin or you're always become poor, it's your own business.

Let's accept the fact every people are greedy and they only want do something when there's a benefit for them.

Simply because newbies are like frogs sitting at the bottom of a well and they have not seen anything other than that well.  they need time to experience everything before having a more accurate view of the market and bitcoin.  they are people who are stuck in life and suddenly discover bitcoin, like finding the light at the end of the tunnel, so they begin to fantasize about the power of bitcoin like a god.

You're right, as humans, no one would be so kind as to help others without asking for something in return.  it's all for personal gain.  people who always talk about morality, always try to prove that they are good people and want to help others, those people are scarier than anyone.
