As the saying goes, "You can't teach your old dog a new trick," so don't try to convince people who don't see crypto as something important or unique or just an investment opportunity, but try to tell them that when crises occur.
In countries with a low inflation rate, no one will realize how terribly money loses its value, which is different from the citizens of other countries such as Venezuela.
Also, you should teach them the basics of dealing with Bitcoin, generating the private key, choosing wallets, etc. instead of investing quickly and making profits.

All of these things take time and quick lessons and episodes on TV/Radio/Friends won't make them learn quickly.
Economics is very boring, but it makes people's lives easier.

Yes, it is easy to find dozens of articles related to this market, and those who are really serious about it always know how to find knowledge. But I believe many people still don't know what is a suitable choice for themselves. Sometimes money motivation makes us arise and want to do everything. Good results will come if the preparation process is good enough.

One of the adversaries bitcoin or cryptocurrency faces today is the issue of its real life usage. This is highly dependent on merchants whom are ready to accept but these too are hindered by the activities of government and scammers alike. I doubt the case of usage has been much of a problem lately in nations like El-Salvador  and I can almost say the same for Russia and Ukraine. By there accepting aids in bitcoin is a direct admittance of its use case and admittance. You can agree with me that, these too is sure to propel its use cases and awareness.

It's some of the things I like so much about bitcoin, how every negative energy to it is used to its propulsion, from government promoted FUD to the activities of scammers and its identification with the problems of the world through philanthropic users on the system. It takes the idle and traditional mind to not research and move to the system but you could be rest assured that people are getting educated otherwise and cryptocurrency is getting the awareness it needs gradually and steadily.

For the fact that educating forks about Bitcoin/cryptocurrency is very necessary to save them from making mistakes, another thing is, not everybody needs to be educated on cryptocurrency as some are purely anti-crypto-minded forks. So most time I just look away from cryptocurrency education I believe anyone with the motivation to learn cryptocurrency will search out themselves on the internet so they hold themselves responsible for any eventuality and risk.

Well, first of all, I saw that he didn't say anything about investment. He talked about education. What I also thought we neededFor example, I have no knowledge of crypto or bitcoin, and I happened to see a video about bitcoin on YouTube. Because of some people, bitcoin was introduced to me. Then I learned lots of things in the Bitocintalk forum. What is he trying to say on this topic? Now though I know about bitcoin investment and its risk, that is why I don't blame anyone. Though I am at a 90% loss, why can't I blame anyone because I know about bitcoin and its investment risk? So if the other person is from my family or friends, we shouldn't teach him about investing first. We should educate him on bitcoin first. Then, if he knows about it, he will be able to make a decision on whether to invest or not. We shouldn't get involved in his investigative purpose. We can only speculate about his learning period. And, you know what, I'm teaching my younger brother about bitcoin and cryptocurrency.If we didn't teach him exactly what bitcoin and cryptography were, then it would be tough for him to learn anything. That's my opinion, and your opinion is slightly different from mine. By the way, thanks.

It is very necessary to aware people of bitcoin, cryptocurrency and blockchain technology. This is the era of science and technology. Due to advanced technology new products, methods, techniques, and businesses are being introduced. Bitcoin is a unique business and new market of digital currency. People are eager to learn this business. This business has very good potential to earn and change the economy of the people. This business is popular among all classes of people and all ages of life.

You have provided some important information, I agree with your words. But many countries have not yet legalized cryptocurrency. In that case, it is not possible for these media to broadcast this on the radio and television . Even then, considering all the aspects, this campaign will create some curiosity about cryptocurrency among us and will create interest to know about cryptocurrency.

Agree. With the development of the internet today, most of us have at least one social network account to connect with people around and the outside world.
Nowadays,people are looking for what they need most of them will search on social network so social network is the best place to help people have fastest approach and awareness about cryptocurrency.
People on this forum are mainly focused on bitcoin and ETH. Most of the rest of altcoins are not warmly welcomed here, people prefer to be safe rather than looking for something new.

Few years back the sources available to learn about cryptocurrency is very minimal. With time we've got more access to learning about cryptocurrencies as well as the backing technology. Starting from school education it is possible to see education on blockchain and cryptocurrencies.

In the past it is quite rare to see news broadcast about bitcoin. Even if something gets broadcasted it would be something negative about bitcoin. Now international as well as local channels bring to us every news associated with bitcoin. With this people are well aware, but lacks the real knowledge about bitcoin. It is through our forum and other trusted platforms one can get the best.

As in the OP social media, and other forms of campaigning is good. But, in the long run most of such services were focused on money making than providing good knowledge about cryptocurrencies.

The opportunity to learn about Bitcoin is everywhere. I am honestly amazed at how even idle folks here in my place have already heard of it. They don't really keep themselves updated on current events and what's new in finance, economics, politics, world affairs, and everything. They don't go to school, either. Neither do they read news nor do they care about looking for a permanent job. And yet they heard of Bitcoin.

But the problem, which also applies to the list of agents mentioned, is that, what do they know about Bitcoin? Social media is pestered with wrong information about Bitcoin. Radio, the print media, and television as well. Those listed under informal education are oftentimes promoting certain products and services. On the other hand, I overheard peer groups discussing Bitcoin as if it is nothing but an investment opportunity.

In terms of fundamental awareness, nothing can probably beat serious individual research.

I think all of them great ways to promote the bitcoin and educate others for the same. Honestly, in today’s world we are already following all the above methodologies to promote it. Consider it direct or indirect it is already happening.

For example, When Ukraine Russia war broke the first thing we started to hear about crypto space is that there donations flooding throughout the whole world in the form of “Crypto Currency”.

News like, ABC exchanger donated $25 per individual in crypto currency’s.

This is nothing but the indirect promotion of crypto currency. More or less it is also educating everyone to rethink about the capabilities of crypto.

So Yup everything is going seamlessly. It’s the question of who comes in and who stays out.

Only social media I think do have large impact for create an Bitcoin awareness to anyone, each person must have at least one social media, they might accidentally saw an account promote about Bitcoin. The other thing might create awareness is when popular brand accepting Bitcoin e.g. Subway, McDonald, KFC, etc.

Even this forum has altcoins section, but Bitcointalk purposely only for Bitcoin's enthusiast not shitcoin's enthusiast. I don't see any good discussion on altcoins section, it's only flooded with spammer and scammer. If you want to discuss about shitcoin, better move to altcoinstalk or cryptotalk.

issues you have with educating friends/relatives. is that if they then invest, and then the price takes a dip. they will suddenly be blaming you for the investment advice.

do not proposition people in the form of investment advice. instead simply explain the details of how blockchains work, and why they work. and how such can prove to be a good currency tool, offering them a new choice away from fiat.
suggest its other features like setting up 'offshore' value storage, 'family trusts', or even inheritance plans without needing to speak to bank managers, accountants and lawyers(usually needed with fiat)

show them that its a real thing. by looking at which nearby retailers/merchants use bitcoin. so that you can show them that you can buy real world goods using it. it both shows that it works and that its actually accepted by businesses and that obviously for those businesses to be using it means your local government is not objecting to its usage

the easiest ways i have shown its utility is by ordering the group some pizza via bitcoin and within 40 minutes(10min confirm and 30minute pizza delivery) they were eating pizza bought with bitcoin
i used to do airdrops, but people still questioned its real world usage and why its valuable if im giving it away. so instead buying them pizza shows its real world useful and feels like it has value thats not just given away
