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.
I don't think if they are giving proper education they will complain by telling them the price if bitcoin goes up and down at anytime. After telling them this and may be the price goes dip I don't think they will blame anyone because already they are aware that the price can fall at anytime.  If People get proper education they won't blame anyone for anything that occur in cryptocurrency.  After proper education it is up for them to make their decision to invest and know more about bitcoin or not.

2. Bitcointalk.org. In this forum one will be educated on all the aspect of crypto currencies


BitcoinTalk is the best place to learn about crypto because it was my foundation to everything I know about crypto currency.

Quote
3. Social media: This is one the large community of communication where people exchange information. Therefore, most people learned and heard crypto currency in this section. Mostly on Facebook, WhatsApp, Tweeter, Telegram, Skype, Yahoo messenger etc.
 

I educates the people I connect with through social media especially in telegram and Whatsapp, I post information about crypto and answer some questions.
People most times seems more active to learn from social media than physical sha, base on their time frame for work and other daily activity. But with social media you can read through every story line where ever you are.

You are correct in all of your observations about the given cryptocurrency awearnes. 
However, social media is a very dangerous place that can both give you awearnes and get you scammed by scammers. Scammers find socialmedia a very easy place to get people's attention, which is why they use social media  platforms to scam people with the name of a given cryptocurrency guide or awearnes. We must be cautious about the information we obtain from social media because it can lead us astray.

Just asking a simple question can do the trick! You might also want to show your earnings to your relatives; or show them your mining equipments, etc. in order to at least give them the framework of your idea. Once they start asking questions, their curiosity would spark that will eventually turn into interest.

This way may help to capture their interest because everyone wants to see your achievement before they venture into any investment that you are introducing them to. I will suggest you teach them about bitcoin first and if they want to know how successful you are since your in to bitcoin mining and investment then it is up to you to decide whether you want to take the risk because yes they will surely listen to you once they see your earnings but it is more important to inform them how far knowledge you have got to have gotten where you are at the moment. They sure need knowledge more than knowing the earnings so that they won't be focused on the earnings more than what brings it.

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.
Their is a different between educating someone to know of bitcoin and telling someone to invest on bitcoin. It's very simple to teach someone the norms of bitcoin, because if somebody know the important of bitcoin it will willingly wish to invest to it.

Investment: telling someone to invest in Bitcoin without the person blame you when the price goes dip, it's basically base on your explanation on investment of bitcoin, if you informed the new investors the risk which is the advantages and disadvantages of investment, and the invest understand you, you can't be hold responsible when the investment goes wrong, because you have given he/ her the necessary information behind the risk of investment, so you can't be held responsible.
Personally I am of the belief that people can do what they want in terms of their investments, but the vast majority of people should be considering taking some action in bitcoin and getting the fuck started no matter the price, and then once they get started, then they can figure out and tailor their strategies to their situation.   So the more hesitant and the most skeptical folk would likely be erroring on the side of taking a smaller and more likely a whimpier stance as compared with folks who might be more confident in bitcoin's investment thesis.
I am personally skeptical of introducing new forks into Bitcoin as an investment module due to Bitcoin volatility and not everyone has the balls to withstand Bitcoin market volatility which is the most prominent feature of Bitcoin and since most newbies are either in for a quick bulk others do not have the patience and the motivation to withstand drawback against what their expectation is before getting into Bitcoin. This is why educating people about Bitcoin and trying to know the motivation area before getting them actively involved in Bitcoin investment because not everyone who envies your investment lifestyle is ready to pay the sacrifice you have paid to attain that level, most will want to get the result without paying attention to the demands.

I am saying get the fuck in, and I am not talking about position size... You seem to be talking about position size and assuming that getting in means getting in BIG or to go in blindly and/or not getting your finances and psychology in order first... and it does not..

If anyone gets into bitcoin after the BTC price went up, then they may well be legitimately worried about the price going down, then they would modify their position accordingly and figure out their strategy.. since they would be starting at the potential top of a cycle.

In other words, everyone should be in - as long as they figure out their budget and they are capable of investing.. even if that might ONLY be $10 per week or even less, and if they are whimpy about being in bitcoin, then they should just take a small position size. .something like 1% of their total investment portfolio... and of course, they need to get their shit together first (financial and psychological... I am not going to be responsible for them, even if I am telling them to get the fuck in, .. they are responsible for themselves).

In terms of the finances of anyone, there is a need to have certain basics in order before investing into anything, whether bitcoin or any other investment, and I am referring to having an emergency fund and all of those kinds of basic matters in order before they are even in a position to be able to invest in bitcoin or anything else for that matter.  Otherwise they would be gambling rather than investing, and I am not telling anyone to gamble, even though I am telling them to get started and get in, sooner rather than later.

The best time to get started buying bitcoin is today, and the second best time would have been yesterday, but yesterday is no longer available to you.  So get started right away.

We can agree to disagree even though I am recommending that everyone gets in... but they are responsible to work out all of their details, including their finances and their psychological details, and I am not responsible if they cannot get their shit together or if they are not yet ready to invest into bitcoin or into anything else..

People have to be responsible for their own finances and psychology, even though I am still going to say that  it is a good idea that everyone should be figuring out a way to get into bitcoin sooner rather than later.. to work out their nitty-gritty details.. in terms of the extent to which they have any cash left on a weekly or monthly basis to invest into bitcoin or anything else.. which would be up to them to figure out if they really capable of setting aside a budget .... or else if they stay out of bitcoin completely, and they are too busy to figure out a plan that includes bitcoin contained therein, then they can just have fun staying poor... whether they actually happen to be poor or not.  

not financial advice - even though you better get your shit together first...
do your own research
I am not responsible for anyone.. even if I am telling them.. get in.. or at least figure out how to get in- in a way that is prudent, meaningful and fitting for the person getting involved in bitcoin
your milage may well vary
ccmf
have fun staying poor
etc.etc etc.

If anyone who is not into bitcoin might have any questions about how to get into bitcoin or anything like that.. then just ask.. and I may or may not be able to answer all question and it is possible that they might have to do some of their own research in terms of which possible places to look for information and/or how to get started buying bitcoin.  

Swanbitcoin.com.. might be a good place to start to research or to start buying bitcoin, yet there are other resources that are bitcoin oriented, too...

Again, I am not telling anyone to get involved in "crypto" or to get into shitcoins.. I am telling them to get involved in bitcoin.. to focus on bitcoin and don't get distracted into shitcoins or confused by the ideas of "crypto".. and to attempt to educate themselves to understand the difference between bitcoin and crypto.. or at least learn what is bitcoin first, so if I do refer them to any possible resources or even send them information, I am going to attempt to give them bitcoin-oriented information and resources to the extent possible.. and I am going to tell them to learn about bitcoin first... but people like to be smarter and like to get distracted into buying shitcoins.. .. and I will try to caution them not to get distracted and to focus on bitcoin first.

Sure it is good to know the difference between educating in theoretical ways and in terms of investing, and it seems to me that anyone who figures out what bitcoin is, then it would likely be in their best interest to take some kind of investment action, and ultimately the kind of investment actions that they take would be tailored to their situation, too.

If someone is highly skeptical about bitcoin, then maybe they would invest only a very small amount (such as 1% of their total investment portfolio), and if someone has a very short timeline (and they need to be somewhat liquid based on their own expenses or other matters going on in their life, then they may well not be in a position to be investing in anything that is volatile - and many of us likely realize that one of the most likely and inevitable things about bitcoin is that in the coming years.. maybe even more than 20 years, it is going to continue to be volatile, and we cannot even know the price direction.. which surely could affect anyone's considerations regarding whether to invest and how much to invest...

Personally I am of the belief that people can do what they want in terms of their investments, but the vast majority of people should be considering taking some action in bitcoin and getting the fuck started no matter the price, and then once they get started, then they can figure out and tailor their strategies to their situation.   So the more hesitant and the most skeptical folk would likely be erroring on the side of taking a smaller and more likely a whimpier stance as compared with folks who might be more confident in bitcoin's investment thesis.

Personally, I wait to reveal unless prompted. The hard way is how I've learnt my lesson. Due to their familiarity with you and the fact that your classes are free, friends and family may take them for granted. They might not follow your advice. They want to believe that they can leap into bitcoin because you are doing well and that they will have $1000 in their wallets the following day. They are impatient.

Rightly, crypto awareness knowledge is gotten from different areas from what you just stated. Most people get to find out about crypto through social media, some through friends or formal education but the best awareness you can give to your friend is to tell them about crypto.

For about a month or thereabouts, I have been lecturing my friends about crypto and the risk involved in it. You can start up with that to help spread awareness of crypto to friends and well-wishers. You will be glad you did

It is okay to educate anyone that you know but these days are dangerous. You don't approach alone someone and educate and ask them if they want to know bitcoin and etc., you don't know what's on the mind of people these days and since there's a crisis.
I don't really understand what you mean.
But nothing wrong to educate someone, especially the person we already know well. But make sure that he isn't a person who is against digital investment or crypto. If he has no intention to have digital assets, we don't need to educate him. We don't need to know someone's mind, it is impossible. As long as we educate him in a proper way, I think it deserves to try. Regarding a crisis, it shouldn't be an obstacle because everyone can invest in a small amount.



The problem with communicating something that is novel to a person is getting their interest. No matter how articulate and complete you try to explain cryptocurrencies, if the person is just not interested, then your efforts will be going to waste.

Just asking a simple question can do the trick! You might also want to show your earnings to your relatives; or show them your mining equipments, etc. in order to at least give them the framework of your idea. Once they start asking questions, their curiosity would spark that will eventually turn into interest.

You nailed it, a simple straight sentence with lots of deep meaning.
And their blaming me is not even what kills me most, what kills me most is my conscience that will never be at rest, making me feel like I disappointed them whereas, it is not my fault that the market downturned after they invested.

This has been one and major reason why I started being skeptical about bring friends to invest in bitcoin or any other form of cryptocurrencies, my experience with this taught me a great lesson.

Crypto currency Awareness Campaign is the process of orienting, educating and telling people about crypto currency.

The following agents are used in the crypto currency Awareness Campaign.

1. Individuals: Individual can educate or tell another fellow on crypto on a bus, bar, school etc

2. Bitcointalk.org. In this forum one will be educated on all the aspect of crypto currencies

3. Social media: This is one the large community of communication where people exchange information. Therefore, most people learned and heard crypto currency in this section. Mostly on Facebook, WhatsApp, Tweeter, Telegram, Skype, Yahoo messenger etc.

4. Peer Group: This is one of the influential group that educate, orient and tell their roommates, classmates, treckmates and age-mates etc

5. Informal Education: This section is based on seminars, meetings calls.

6. Radio and Television: at this section, there are non visual and visual presentation on Bitcoin talk

7. Formal Education: This is still on pending in the national education curriculum.

These are the means crypto currency knowledge impacted to people.

Awareness and Interest on Bitcointalk
There are two elements in human beings to participation in bitcointalk

1. Awareness
2. Interest.

1. Awareness: According to a saying, ignorant is a disease. Many people are not aware that bitcointalk is even exist. I noticed this in one of my tutorial classes where I taught youths and adults on Political Economy, and I was  using El Salvador and Central African Republic as example of States that have adopted bitcoin then I asked a question if they are aware of bitcointalk but to my surprise, out of 100 students, it was 3% raised their hands and they said, they have heard of it but they are not interested to join.



2. Interest: Most people in the world are awared on bitcoin or bitcointalk but are not interested on bitcoin or bitcointalk platform. When I asked the 3% that raised their hands why they are not interested, they said they don't want to waste their time on Bitcointalk that has no benefits. But I told them that there  a lot of benefits on bitcointalk.
1. Free learning on bitcoin, Trading, and how to Mine. In formal education you pay a huge amount of money to learn all these.
2. Others crypto currencies
3. Risk management of the market
4. Instead of using their data for unproductive activities on social media let them use it for bitcointalk for productivity
After then most of them were having the interest to join.


Finally
In any participation, be a Politics, Social etc these two elements are found.

To me cryptocurrency is getting recognition whether it is been campaign by people or not , cryptocurrency will always grow.
Yes, whether there will be no campaigns just as stated by OP. The market is already on the stage that it can grow on its own but on its early days, if we're talking about the forum, it is one of the biggest contributor to its growth because of the people that have been involved early on this space.

It is okay to educate anyone that you know but these days are dangerous. You don't approach alone someone and educate and ask them if they want to know bitcoin and etc., you don't know what's on the mind of people these days and since there's a crisis.

In some countries where crytocurrency is been banned,  most citizens buy cryptocurrency through p2p to invest.

I really agree with you that cryptocurrency is getting more recognition even without campaign but I believe it's better we make campaign to speed up the way cryptocurrency is being recognized. I can tell you their are some rural areas in my county that don't know anything about bitcon and it will still take years before some might know about bitcoin, so is better we campaign to those people.

As more countries wake up to the potential of blockchain and cryptocurrency, businesses and entrepreneurs are beginning to find cryptocurrency solutions that can make them more competitive. Now is a good time to educate and engage in a new and upcoming area of the tech industry. These campaigns focus on teaching people to understand cryptocurrency and how it works as well as provide educational resources that can give people a better understanding of the potential of these new technologies. This is critical because many people don't understand what cryptocurrency is, how it works, or what the differences are between them, and this is preventing them from taking full advantage of the opportunities that this technology holds.

If you haven't already, the time to educate yourself and become better-informed about blockchain and cryptocurrency is now. This forum has some useful information for you. Start educating yourself.

Yes, these things could bring out awareness to everyone but for you to be fully aware on crypto, you should have to DYOR it on your self, develop knowledge and skills, get engaged with crypto and experience its failures and success. That way, you will never be misled. However, the best channel or agent that i think is the most relevant by now is through social media. You can have there both the positive and negative views about crypto,  so it's up to you how to weigh things based from your own research and experience.

The social media such as the Facebook, Twitter  etc, that the OP mentioned above no doubt has been helpful in promoting Bitcoin awareness but with the rate of deception and fraudulent activities by some handlers I'll not advise newbie's to take advantage of social media as a platform for a starting point to learn about Bitcoin as they could easily by convinced, deceived and duped by unsuspecting individuals or groups.

For sure, some sources of information are better than other sources of information.. even on this forum, some threads are better than others - including that fuzzy logic can become contagious in a thread, and then if no one is there to help to get some of the talking points back in some kind of coherence, participants in the thread can deviate into nonsense.

With any media source, there are ways to develop curated feeds, so that might help from being bombarded by too much noisy information.  Developing and employing critical thinking skills can be another tool, and some folks have developed better critical thinking skills than others, but also on a personal level we might even ask ourselves whether we are sufficiently learning with the passage of time, and if sometimes we are not reaching our own proper balances in regards to how much we may or may not need to research further into a topic or even if the solution might be to think through a topic ourselves in order to attempt to figure out how much plausibility to assign to the logic, facts and or conclusions of some kind of claims or presentations that are being made.

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.
How many people is here using bitcoin. Camping is for people who is bitcointalk user. Out side from here is what we are looking for. If you go out there no body know about signature campaign and even in the twitter were many people talks of cryptocurrency still they are not aware of signature campaign in question. The thing that my can make bitcoin to know from far way or country that hates the adoption of bitcoin, is the profit some people make and be help will make look into bitcoin and adopt it. Like so many of us did not like bitcoin before but the profit people make monthly brought so many people here

I just discovered one of the reasons people feel reluctant of discussing bitcoin with friends.
When I didn't know about crypto, I fell for so many scams in my quest to obeying the rule of invest instead of save. In one of the scams, I lost $2,000. Then, I talked to my friend about the investment who also lost about $200 and previously I made him lose some monies. So, there was an unsaid aggrement that I won't be introducing investments to him.
Surprisingly I discovered genuine bitcoin and later this forum, but now I'm reluctant to go talk to him about Bitcoin again. Well, maybe because I saw that he is doing well in his business. Assuming he was broke, I wouldn't mind going once again to him.

People who don't know much about bitcoin whenever they hear about bitcoin the first thing that drops in their mind is money,  they know bitcoin is about investing. It important when introducing people to bitcoin we should let them know bitcoin it not only about investing,  but blockchains  and the reason why countries are adopting bitcoin as currency.
But it's different when people hear bitcoin in my neighborhood. The first thing they think about Bitcoin is a coin, chip or something useless, some say Bitcoin is gambling and such.
Those who say so do not understand what bitcoin is and how it works. sometimes I give an easy to understand explanation to describe what bitcoin is, so there is no negative stigma about bitcoin.

and directing people to this forum is also better, because they will learn on their own and read some of the discussions in this forum. This forum is the first place that needs to be known as early education.

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.


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.

One of the most difficult things about spreading cryptocurrency to the world is getting started. It may be easy to say we can educate people on buses, schools, bars, and others. But, how do we get started to talk about cryptocurrency? We cannot talk about this suddenly.
I personally will talk about other things at first and see how their mind (open-minded or closed-minded) and see their personality probably. Telling about the very common knowledge of cryptocurrency about the new of Bitcoin and what they know about crypto. But of course, I will not teach about how to invest and what to get because if we are telling too much at first, they may not believe in them. If they want to invest in crypto they will only put the money without learning at first. One that we must remember is that don't tell them to invest in crypto because it is too risky. If the price keeps dropping, they will blame us and say that we are scammers.
That is why before teaching about cryptocurrency, we must consider some things:
- Place to talk about
- With whom we are talking
- Personality and opinion about the people on crypto
- Explanation on general at first, not specific
- Don't suggest investing, suggest them learn at first about crypto, and if they are interested and understood what they must do based on the risks, go on

The more reason am clamouring for crypto to be introduced and implemented in schools curriculum relating to subject like business ,commerce ,marketing ,computer ,adninstrative from secondary level to tertiary institutions to help make crypto industry a future proffesional choice and having an understanding on how it works before the practical experience.
To educate them on the need to see crypto as a future proffesion.

Yes, I agree with you. But as far as I know now all the people who are new to botcointalk.org come just for income. In the pursuit of income without knowing anything, I think they need to know more and more about Bitcointalk. We need to know first what is cryptocurrency? What's in it? Without knowing this, we keep running after income. And we're limited to the Bounty Forum. If we were to stay in this bounty forum all our lives, we would know nothing about crypto.I am not saying that you will not make income, but you have an idea about cryptocurrency. You make money from cryptocurrency but you don't know what it is. And that's why we said that first of all we need to know about cryptocurrency.

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

Until now, I have never ever giving investment or financial advice to my family, cousins, relatives, etc., ever since I began my journey in the world of cryptocurrency. Only my sister approached me and invested some of her money into Ethereum and doesn’t care if the price goes up or down as she knows the risks, so I just assisted her on how to buy that’s all. Until now she never touched her ETH and it’s still in her wallet.

And one of my 1st cousins who decided on his own to go in to Bitcoin and knows the risks. He even has his own small set of BTC mining rigs. Well they chose not to go in on Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies because they are afraid to take risks and just remained in their comfort zone.  

I don’t discuss about Bitcoin to them unless they wanna talk more about it, then I can just educate them and not forcing them to buy because it is them who will be making the final decision whether to go in or not.

Telling people about crypto is one sure way of boasting the crypto community and which inturn gives more value to projects but what if price fails after the campaign, what if a project you recommended crashes after you promoted the coin. If one must campaign for crypto al ays state it clear that doing personal research is part of the investment. At least that way the campaigner won't fall a victim of been held responsible for promoting a fake project

I will first say that I really do not like the title of this thread because it starts out with a bad and likely misleading framework since normies (and maybe even more sophisticated people) are likely hardly going to learn shit about "crypto" or "cryptocurrency" or make any kind of progress of actually knowing what the hell is going on if they do not either get presented with a proper framework that focuses on attempting to understand bitcoin and thereafter maybe see how the rest of the space (that relates to bitcoin and is sometimes labelled as "crypto" relates to king daddy).

So part of our own discussion of bitcoin should stop fucking using those kinds of dumbass and vague terms, unless we are attempting to putting the terms into some kind of a proper context.. which emphases bitcoin first and then maybe talk about the phenomena that there are a variety of other projects out there that are all over the place in term of their potential scamminess, misleadingness, that may or may not have any direct connection with bitcoin.. including the fact that so many people try to proclaim that bitcoin and ethereum or some kind of similars in terms of both of them being top coins.. .. fuck ethereum.. ..it is misleading to be suggesting that it is somehow equivalent to bitcoin, even though surely there can be some value in attempting to address some of the issues that come up in relation to various projects that have been built on ethereum or around ethereum.. but still put within a bitcoin framework.. and surely there are going to be people who do not want to learn or they come to believe that they are smarter because they start to buy into the various bullshit ethereum and the other scam and smoke and mirror project talking points.

Of course even smart people and relatively big financial institutions get distracted into ethereum trying to put itself out there as some kind of similar to bitcoin but different bullshit.. that mislead people into believing that ethereum might have some kind of solid investment thesis that is similar to bitcoin.. which is baloney.. and yeah.. let it play itself out.. fine.. it could take 10 to 20 or more years for that crap (and the scams around it to play out.. but still does not really mean that it is bringing any kind of meaningful value to the table except perhaps figuring out the various ways to either scam people or for founders to print money for new or continued self-enrichment purposes).

fuck ethereum.. and stop trying to discuss it as if it were to have some kind of equal or similar investment thesis to bitcoin.. because you are ONLY misleading people when you make those kinds of juxtapositions.. and lumping of ethereum as if it were in the same category as bitcoin when it is not... it is not even close, but so many folks believe that bitcoin and ethereum are somewhat close.. similar but different.. blah blah blah.. baloney-talk and a baloney way of framing and/or discussing matters related to either bitcoin or "crypto".

Back to bitcoin.

Regarding your own assertion Imran232 that bitcoin should be understood prior to getting into attempts to teach investment ideas, and that seems to be a wee bit misplaced in my consideration of the matter.   Investing is a basic thing that people need to learn - and even to figure out if they have their shit together in their life sufficiently to even consider investing and/or how to invest. 

For sure, I would not be proclaiming that investing is any kind of elitist matter, and every single person should be able to figure out and maintain some kind of investing strategy.. and for sure, bitcoin can also serve as one of those vehicles in which way more people have access to meaningful and reasonable ways to invest than they would have had in prior times... So many investments are much more difficult to get into as compared with bitcoin, so in that regard, there is a lot of investment potential with bitcoin that could well be taught simultaneously to learning about bitcoin too.

For example, even if someone comes from a pretty impoverished situation, they may well be able to get into a situation in which they are able to set aside something like $10 per week to invest into BTC in a kind of dollar cost averaging way, and as they are investing into bitcoin, they can also be learning about bitcoin.. and also making sure that they get their shit together in terms of the amount that they are investing into bitcoin.. so attempting to learn about bitcoin and investing at the same time, and hopefully even learning about bitcoin becomes a much more concrete idea when they are figuring some kind of an amount to regularly put into it and also to consider if they might need to modify their investment approach as they also learn about their own personal and psychological circumstances.

I guess my main point is.. . "why not both?"  at least in respect to the idea of learning about bitcoin and learning about investing.


...... 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.

Case in point... above regarding your own mindset and desire to educate.. cheezcarls..

fuck ethereum.. and stop trying to discuss it as if it were to have some kind of equal or similar investment thesis to bitcoin.. because you are ONLY misleading people when you make those kinds of juxtapositions.. and lumping of ethereum as if it were in the same category as bitcoin when it is not... it is not even close, but so many folks believe that bitcoin and ethereum are somewhat close.. similar but different.. blah blah blah.. baloney-talk and a baloney way of framing and/or discussing matters related to either bitcoin or "crypto".

[edited out]

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. 

For sure, another matter is that if you lack in focus in your presentation.. meaning that you are not able to figure out some ways to attempt to focus on bitcoin first.. then it is likely going to be a lot more difficult and confusing and even difficult to relate to..

I am not going to deny that if you approach the matter as a way to get rich quick, then you might get some people's attention.. but that is a stupid-ass framework that relates to crypto overall and not a way to attempt to focus on bitcoin.. ..

So surely, part of the challenge will still be to get the attention of people, and largely people come to bitcoin at their own pace.. so it could take several sessions (several touch points) with them in order for the idea of bitcoin to start to sink in, and for sure, none of us should expect that we are going to be the first or even the ONLY touch point that they might end up having, so in that regard, there can be some challenges in terms of attempting to figure out from where they are forming their various thoughts about bitcoin and attempt to work from where they are rather than where we might expect that they should go, even though there probably nothing wrong with giving a framework in terms of prioritizing the discussion of bitcoin.. and surely the perspective of the other person(s) will likely vary - and perhaps have a decent number of  themes in common at the same time.

I have some people with whom I have been talking about bitcoin for years, and some of them have become more receptive to the idea of bitcoin, and others have become more stubborn in their various views that seem to end up being (from my perspective) that they do not really sufficiently understand bitcoin.. and so they have to come to bitcoin at their own pace.. and perhaps they will die being a no coiner.. but whatever, I can ONLY lead them so much to the various ideas and/or my own learnings in connection to the matter.. and even with my own learnings, I am likely ONLY going to spend so much time attempting to help them, unless they are already receptive..  which would at least mean that they are ready and willing to learn even if they might not be able to learn... people vary for sure.

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 doubt that people need to necessarily be as resourceful as you are suggesting that they need to be, Dunamisx.  In other words, why let the perfect be the enemy of the good?

For sure, some people might want to put together materials and be more active in their bitcoin evangelism efforts, but each of us will come to the matter from a different perspective, while at the same time, I am not going to doubt that some resources seem to be much better than others.

I had recently seen a link to Michael Saylor's bitcoin information and even a free course, which I am even tempted to take.. or at least to point out that course in order that others can take it and tell me about it.

https://learn.saylor.org/course/view.php?id=468

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

Hopefully, you can shake that vague-ass, ambiguous and misleading term "crypto"/"Cryptocurrency" and get focused on figuring out bitcoin first.  Once you spend a decent amount of time on learning about bitcoin, and you have a bit of a grasp on what is bitcoin, then you will be in a much better position to both talk about bitcoin and maybe to venture out to the various shitcoins (aka some of the crypto matters)...

If you do not sufficiently and adequately focus, then it is going to be more difficult for either you to understand the information that you are learning along the way (and to put such information within a proper context) and also to present such information to other people who may well be even less informed regarding the bitcoin/crypto topic than you.

By the way, some people seem to believe that they are being more academic and open by attempting to use a broader term, such as crypto to describe the whole space and NOT to get caught up on bitcoin.. and sure in theory that seems all fine and dandy not to have a closed mind and to have a broader perspective; however, what seems to end up happening is when people attempt to focus more broadly on such a concept like bitcoin, they tend to lose some of their abilities to understand the basic framework - which is bitcoin.. and in that regard, it still is way better to figure out bitcoin first in order that you understand the framework and that you know how to properly use the terms crypto and cryptocurrencies if you end up choosing to use those words from time to time.. and most of the time it seems much better to minimize their use, especially if you are talking about bitcoin. .then better to use the term bitcoin rather than substituting the word bitcoin with crypto in order to feel that you are being more smart when such substitution likely causes you to devolve into a confusing, ambiguous and/or misleading presentation of the very topic that you are attempting to teach about.

Crypto currency Awareness Campaign is the process of orienting, educating and telling people about crypto currency.

You can start by sharing crypto related posts, tweets, threads, vlogs, etc. Share that using your social media accounts. It is a little thing, it's not that effective like the other ways but it will help in terms of crypto awareness of those people that knows you. We do not need to push ourselves to much just to make other people aware of the existence of cryptocurrencies. They will know it eventually. As more and more adoption that will take place as we step forward.

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.

Yes, that is the fact. The individuals have the major role to play in the bitcoin orientation. All the 7 out listed numbers, the number 1 is the most effective one in the bitcoin or crypto currency orientation campaign. All the rest one, which is from number one to number 7 are under the control of the number 1. Just like as I am planning to carry out a personal bitcoin campaign in Secondary school in my location, so that students will be well equipped with cryptocurrency. I am also on the learning process so I just suspend the project till I have equipped myself very then I can impact the knowledge to other people. And my targeted audience are Junior Secondary school three to Senior Secondary one to three. Many people still see bitcoin as a bad. That is, it is only bad people use bitcoin or crypto currency. So my personal orientation will start soon.

Crypto currency campaign is a very good awareness for the people. But the fact that after all this people can’t be persuaded fully to join the cryptocurrency market, especially bitcoin (the most reliable and trusted coin). Many people see it that it has an hidden agenda that is not known to the public. You can only tell people how the whole cryptocurrency market  works, but never force or persuade them to join, it should be at their own will. So that you don’t have to bear the consequences if all don’t go well for them as market fluctuates from time to time.

~snip~. 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.
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.

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.
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.

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.

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.

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.
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.

Crypto currency Awareness Campaign is the process of orienting, educating and telling people about crypto currency.

The following agents are used in the crypto currency Awareness Campaign.

1. Individuals: Individual can educate or tell another fellow on crypto on a bus, bar, school etc

2. Bitcointalk.org. In this forum one will be educated on all the aspect of crypto currencies

3. Social media: This is one the large community of communication where people exchange information. Therefore, most people learned and heard crypto currency in this section. Mostly on Facebook, WhatsApp, Tweeter, Telegram, Skype, Yahoo messenger etc.

4. Peer Group: This is one of the influential group that educate, orient and tell their roommates, classmates, treckmates and age-mates etc

5. Informal Education: This section is based on seminars, meetings calls.

6. Radio and Television: at this section, there are non visual and visual presentation on Bitcoin talk

7. Formal Education: This is still on pending in the national education curriculum.

These are the means crypto currency knowledge impacted to people.

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.
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.

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.

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.
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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.


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.

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.

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.
2. Bitcointalk.org. In this forum one will be educated on all the aspect of crypto currencies Bitcoin
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.
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.
