Topic: Crypto currency Awareness Campaign - page 3. (Read 905 times)

That's a pretty good way and it's one of those attempts to right the wrongs in crypto. But the level of people's abilities also affects their understanding. Sometimes the media makes a title that is so interesting but contrary to the content, so readers certainly have to be detailed to read and select the news whether it is true or false.
Because in the end it will make an opinion if crypto is a scam, crypto is gambling. This issue that appears a lot in the media and makes the image of crypto worse.

I have encountered several people who are like that. I remember being in an office one day and I overheard a lady and a guy talking about Bitcoin and the lady kept saying that Bitcoin is a scam. She was telling the guy how she got scammed while trying to invest in Bitcoin and she  started to believe that Bitcoin is totally a scam. I had to step into their conversation and explain to them that Bitcoin is not a scam.

And from the story she told it happened that she was the one who made the mistake of investing her money into the hands of scammers. Bitcoin is not a scam, but there are still lots of scammers out there who are looking for who they will prey on. So, people who are investing in Bitcoin has to be really careful and know how to go about it.

Do we still need cryptocurrency awareness? For the record, cryptocurrency achieved the best awareness during the worldwide total lockdown and stats show that only in the US only 4% of people quit their job after successfully investing in crypto during the crypto awareness that happens during the lockdown. If you guys remember IMF also advise the Federal government to create their CBDC.

The only problem we have only is the newbie that is not ready to educate themselves and the people that know about crypto but find it hard to believe in the innovative technology.

When you teach someone about cryptocurrency it would be good if you refer them to a website where they can refer to anytime they want to know more about Bitcoin. Because by having a conversation with someone , it’s not enough for you to pass every information that they need to know about Bitcoin.

So, it will be very good that you refer them to a website such as bitcointalk.org which carries a lot of information about Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. And they can as well create an account in the forum and ask questions in case they are having any difficulties and they would have their questions answered by lots of experienced users who has been around for a long time. Another thing is that anyone that you teach about Bitcoin you should as well be ready to make them be aware of the risks that are involved.

Most people are already aware of it but not everyone could understand it.
I have some people who are aware of cryptocurrency but have a wrong information about it.
Some thinks that Crypto is an investment scheme like Ponzi or pyramid schemes,
While other thinks that it is illegal money or funds for terrorist.
So whenever I encounter someone who have those wrong information about crypto I always share what I know about cryptocurrency.

These are a list of ways information can be communicated but not methods to making people aware.

I consider the best awareness to happen when a person realizes the need on their own. Trying to use temporary events to rope people into something new usually does not last long.

If you go around being a "bitcoin messenger" in your locality, very soon you will end up as the laughing stock similar to the tinfoil-hat people. Would not want that to happen to any of the fellow members of the forum, do we?

Allow people to talk on their own, address their concerns and reassure them about what you know while also pushing them to read about crypto on their own. It is a gradual process and attrition will be common among many no-coiners.

I think people have heard about cryptos everywhere on the internet, especially that they may also learn from information that is not conceptualized in a positive direction. The first education of that random information (especially social media) will influence the crypto valuation the most. In this case, you can't prevent anyone from judging crypto as an innovation or a catastrophe.

All the media elements that have spread information about cryptocurrencies have provided a little picture that everyone can get to know cryptocurrency from wherever they are looking. Even as a knowledge base, people around you, friends, relatives and family on social media will gradually get what you are looking for. So I guess I don't have to worry about any information containing cryptocurrencies today. Due to technological sophistication and digital literacy, today's society is more productive in seeking information that is financially beneficial.

I don't know much about the campaign, but we may spread awareness to the nearest people. There are also limitations of legalization openly promoting cryptocurrency or creating a campaign. However, from my end, I have shared with a couple of the nearest people. Some of them become interested and invest as well. And some of them are not interested or don't understand. That's how I try to promote cryptocurrency and also try to introduce people to this forum. But sadly they don't become active ever after creating accounts. Yea, sometimes they become panic those who invested. But they realize how cryptocurrency works.

At present cryptocurrency is affecting a large part of the economy. So It is extremely important to be mindful individuals of bitcoin, digital currency, and its use. This is the period of modern civilization. Because of trend-setting innovation new items, strategies, methods, and organizations are being presented. Bitcoin is a one-of-a-kind business and new market of advanced money. People are not fully aware of it. This business has generally excellent potential to procure and change the economy of individuals. So we need to make Bitcoin and cryptocurrency more accessible and understandable worldwide by educating more people.

I also benefit from the number Four (4). I was introduced to this forum (Bitcointalk) by a friend in my compound. At first he told me but I neglected him. I traveled to my state on one of the public holidays and I saw a brother was on Bitcoin trade, and I became interested to learn More about Bitcoin.

I told him to teach me but he was busy so could not teach me till return back. When I reached my place of work, this my friend asked me to register to Bitcointalk again. As this time I didn't waste time to register..

As  I registered and began to ask questions, I learned. Now I have improved on Bitcoin. Although I am still on the periphery.

The Awareness which I have gotten is far better than before. Because I was really ready to learn the crypto ecosystem. Right now I have become an automatic agency for crypto currency campaign awareness.

In one of my campaign, I also discovered that some people  are still not aware of crypto currency.

Does the news only contain something legal? certainly not. I'm not sure any country actually withholds information about crypto even though it's banned (except North Korea). If there is anything other than North Korea, please give me the name of another country where crypto information is not accessible? In the country where I live crypto is not legal, but crypto news certainly exists, because it has an influence on economic development. So that something that has an influence on economic growth will be the topic that is most broadcast on television.

Yes, that's my experience. And close people like their friends or family is an easy way for me to talk about crypto especially bitcoin and also easy for them to accept and understand because they meet often.
and I don't have to bother involving them, because when they often see changes in me, especially in terms of finances and appearance, I will make them wonder.
and it's a good time for me to tell (I don't persuade or invite them) but to tell them what I do and I get and that way they want to get involved, and I just tell them the basics including the advantages and also the risk. And also provide some links or youtube for them to learn, and finally they enjoy it until now.

The first and easiest thing is that we as an individual spread the awareness about bitcoin to our near and dear ones. There are a lot of people near us, in our family, relatives and friends who are not aware of bitcoin. If we can touch each one of them and teach them about bitcoin to the ones who show interest, i think we will have played a big part in the crypto awareness. For those who show interest, we can ask them to make an account on bitcointalk also to remain updated and to get timely information.

To buttress the awareness campaign by each desiring individuals, one must have an evident proof to show forth in convincing people to believe and part of which is to have a specific location branded for your Bitcoin awareness campaign as people believe in result or something tangible they can hold unto before getting convinced, have your own website and do some proper documentation to validate your stance, have a good success record whereby you can make a reference with and lastly dont be a half baked bread because in making an awareness campaign, expect lots of critics, questions and challenges in which you must be in good disposition to providing accurate answers to.

I think all that you mentioned are very useful for that purpose, but based on my experience it's not that easy to learn about cryptocurrency in just a single session or encounter I've already tried it in my locality and only 20- 30 percent are interested to learn more about it. most of them are just ignore it and put it on hold because for them it's very hard to digest most of the information about cryptocurrency that's why they just ignore it. 

yes donations show its real.. to another nation.. but not so much personally/locally to the person sitting infront of you

EG people know airmiles are real. but for people that dont travel they dont see any reason to try to collect airmiles if they have no reason/need/ability to then spend airmiles, as it is not a feature/benefit that fits their life style/experience

from my experiences of travelling the world and meeting people, many people have many questions.
EG 'yes its legal, but is it useful.. like is it 'money' where i can buy things from many places, or is it just like air miles/loyalty credits/shares that can only be used for limited things'

EG going to africa where by none of the villages accept bitcoin for products, there is no point talking about that bitcoin is used to buy products, as that just causes more questions with negative answers..

so before even going into lengthy speaches about how its an international and open currency, prepare to be asked about if its useful as a currency where you live by seeing if its even able to buy products near you

if its not useful as a 'money'(to buy stuff) near you, where you cant buy car fuel or food or goods near you, dont spend long trying to talk about it as if it is a open currency. instead tailor the usecase to some specific things local people can do with it

EG banking for the unbanked in africa or remittance or international trade

no one actually likes the utopian hope speaches of possible futures, they want to know what it can do for them now..
then once they are interested and see the real benefits NOW.... then talk about the possible extra's that could be possible

other things like .. well lets use the el-salvador thing
starting off by saying how bitcoin is a decentralised payment network that people own their own value and in full control... and the el salvadorians say, but bitcoin network fee's are high, so they use LN, and then they explain how LN is not full control as it is a different network involving locking up funds with someone else and using middle men to route payments and even after a payment is made its not settled that instant, and if you want to settle you need to ensure the partner your locked to does not abuse the contract.. suddenly people see LN is not bitcoin and bitcoin is not the payment system people promise when they are actually pushing them off bitcoin to use LN

Although there is nothing wrong about investing on Bitcoin as a newbie or beginner with zero to very little knowledge, it’s still important for us as role models or “evangelists” to always disclose to them about the risks and not having promises or astronomical guaranteed returns, DYOR, only invest what they can afford losing, etc., and also informing them that we have no benefit or receive any commission for shilling BTC, ETH, etc., so that they won’t blame us if their portfolio goes bloody later on.

There are also many YouTube channels, Telegram Channels that educate People about cryptocurrencies, they teach to do Techinal Analysis, they teach how to get any token information, they teach every single information that anybody need for getting start with cryptocurrency.

Most of the times people don't know or understand what cryptocurrency is. They simply think of it as "the funny money" of the Internet and stay away from it.

In order to make people aware of this cryptocurrency, there are many campaigns going on in the world to reach out to the people and to educate them about the use of the cryptocurrency. Bitcoin has been gaining popularity among the youngsters for quite some time now. Many of them are opting for bitcoin over other cash transfer options. Thus, to make more people aware about crypto currency, there are many bitcoin awareness drives and campaigns which are coming up. Since this trend is not going away anytime soon, marketers understand that cryptocurrencies can be a valuable tool in their marketing campaigns. I expect more brands to take advantage of the cryptocurrency hype, either by creating their own coins or by incorporating them into their campaigns.
