Topic: Digital Bitcoin Classes Ongoing. (Read 438 times)

I agree, there are also users in the forum that will also take help from his lessons, particularly myself will love to grasp good knowledge about the technical side of Bitcoin.

I also believe OP is not a newbie and he well understands the next action to take at the perfect time. OP won't be holding their investment for long, since they already kick start the class, when there becomes existing knowledge among them he certainly knows how to disburse the whole Bitcoin portfolio back to the owners to privately secure their profits.

Almost everyone's desire is to be able to do it happily as long as there is an opportunity because doing good deeds like helping people will not lower the status of the perpetrator and will not exhaust the knowledge they have.
Instead, it increases and improves because from them we gain new knowledge and new experiences.
Hopefully you can. You must be able to too.

I actually wanted to reply this as well before reading few comment to see whether it has been suggested by others. Usually this is a discussion forum and there is nothing hidden over here and we can just talk about it openly and let people give their best ideas, maybe if i didn't get it rightly then the next person may correct me for my mistakes. By the way, with what he has put so far, i don't see any wrong provided those people are getting knowledge required and they don't lose their investment if they follows instructions from him.

I personally think those who are old investors should help the new ones.  And instructions should be given as to how the newcomers should invest.

In as much as this would be a way for them to become more serious it's way too risky to deal with beginners like this. Even as an expert you can still make some errors, personally, I think everyone should be responsible for their mistakes, trading for newbies can come with some discomforts. My idea on this is to continue with those that show interest without trying to convince them to invest, if the knowledge you shared with them isn't free then you shouldn't be worried about whether they make an investment or not, you should just be focused on lecturing and developing them, how they invest is up to them.

OP you've done well in spreading the knowledge about Bitcoin and for aiding the mass adoption of bitcoin. But i'm just wondering, why would they invest so much time learning and still not be motivated to invest? In my opinion, I think investing in bitcoin should be something that should be done willingly by the individual. With all you've been teaching your students, anyone who is really interested in the classes and bitcoin would gladly bring out money to invest even without being asked to do so. Could it be that they are scared of taking risks or that they do not have confidence in bitcoin yet? I would love to see them more confident in their investments so they can take decisions even when you're not there.

You are doing a great job. Personally, I will not persuade anyone to invest,  especially those who after learning still didn't see the need to invest. I have done my part, they should help themselves.

the OP failed to see what your agenda was , but anyways it's alright.
I love what your platform is doing, people need to become more aware of Bitcoin and the strategy you use in enlightening them is really good. Kudos

Lolz 😂😂😂, I told you that you don't understand the thread or the particular clause in the thread. I said, I invest for them" meaning when, I told them to download Electrum Wallet and exchange and told them to deposit a specific amount to my account and in return I send Bitcoin to their wallets and the coins are not in my wallet but in their wallets and proper teaching take place. And since they are learning with the practical aspect from the onset, they learn well and they are seeing their bitcoin in their wallets. So I don't have anything with their investment and all want I do is to guide them and be their instructor.

It is even a wrong approach to ask them pay any amount they want to start their investment. Perhaps, giving them knowledge about bitcoin is okay then except anyone amongst them WILLINGLY accept to invest on their own conviction without it being a kinda persuasion from you. I can only teach anyone about bitcoin but cannot persuade them to invest because human have different understanding and they might feel there is some kind of benefits you will get while trying to convince them to invest and it will even appear as if you are desperate for them to invest which some person can misinterpret it that you have a hidden agenda.

Some of them can misunderstood you to be like platforms that offers bonuses for referrals, so by enticing them to invest they will feel that you will get some rewards.

Why don't you, OP, just invite all these people who want to learn about Bitcoin to this forum? It seems to me that there is a great advantage here to getting the right knowledge and communicating directly with all these people you are going to write PMs to. Besides, if we talk about those people who do not have a job, or who do not have constant access to the Internet, is it convenient for them to attend your lectures online at a convenient time for you? Of course, I welcome your desire to help people with the dissemination of knowledge about Bitcoin, but in my opinion, forcing them to immediately invest in something that they, being newbies, do not know how to properly store or buy at a price that may seem high, is too imprudent.  I always invite people to this forum, and then they bear full responsibility for their knowledge and their investments themselves. Isn't this what Satoshi called for?

Yeah you are right, the people really don't understand what is Bitcoin and how it works and how is possible to benefit from investing in Bitcoin, there was I time I tried explaining to some set of people what Bitcoin investment was all about they find it so hard to understand and because of that they lost interest on it, now it will be very difficult when you want to tell people who are not versatile or globally inclined about Bitcoin, the worst of it is when you want to tell people who don't have access to online about Bitcoin and how it works, a lot of people still don't know what Bitcoin is all about and that is one of the reasons I always say Bitcoin still has a long way to go, a time will come when Bitcoin will be known to a lot of people in the world and when they start investing in it that is how Bitcoin will become more valuable and the price will keep rising.
@Agbe you are doing I very great job, you are now part of the people in the world spreading the Bitcoin News to the world, keep doing this great work, I know is not an easy one especially teaching people who have zero knowledge about cryptocurrency in general however with consistency and patience you will achieve it.

This sounds like a pressure and I will not love for anyone to pressure my thinking or stress my mental health just because I want to invest. Op already stated a clear and simple fact “long term investment” with just this word the person can make their decision either investing or ignore besides there’s no such as lose with a long term plan. From my view there’s no pressure either from both parties, I guess the person in question knew earlier what bitcoin is all about having a cool intention to buy is absolutely encouraging definitely teaching about bitcoin investment is difficult while sometimes along the journey some might quit.

Don't worry, I'm not judging you nor what you do, it's your choice. I do believe that you have good motives behind this move, and honestly it's a decent intiative, it's just that from what I've observed, these people haven't grasped the idea of cryptocurrencies, thus, it's safe to assume that they don't understand how Bitcoin works. Not only as an investment, but as a currency and its whole purpose, what blockchain is and how transactions work, it's much more complicated than what you can actually show them. Anyway, I wish you good luck and be careful, it would suck having someone blame you for their mistakes.

I hope you will be by everyone's side and help everyone.

I know you because of the class you created to educate people around you. Now you are continuing again and I am happy to know this.
If you only explain one, the result will be flawed. With the experience and knowledge you have now because you are among great people, I am sure you can be the right teacher for them.

I agree with you, because we don't want to be blamed if the investment they make is not as expected. Because the price of Bitcoin is not easy to predict and this is one of the things they must know because many factors can change it and these factors we do not know in advance, and this problem must be explained according to previous experiences or problems and anticipate the future that is likely to happen unexpectedly or beyond predictions and try to convince and also tell what to do and what to do because they will definitely panic which has the potential to make the wrong decision. So it would be better if they want to jump into Bitcoin of their own will or initiative, and with this you only need to tell or explain according to your abilities and if there are some people like that you can do or create Bitcoin education because of their curiosity and you can seek help from experts to help you. And I think if all of that happens of their own accord, you will feel comfortable without any pressure when giving them all the knowledge about Bitcoin, and besides that if you need help or want to ask a friend or someone who is more expert, surely an expert will ask whether they want to jump into Bitcoin of their own accord or because there is an invitation, because they also don't want to be blamed or make people lose because Bitcoin is indeed not easy to predict which will have negative potential when negative things happen unexpectedly because they don't have any experience.

this is a good initiative but the only issue i have with it is telling them to invest before leaning. think considering the extent of volatility of the market, investing should come at the time the individual has understood a lot about bitcoin investment, and they should have enough knowledge to the extent that they can buy bitcoin comfortably and would not need your help before doing so. so far, bitcoin has been pretty stable around a certain range of price and even if it takes them three weeks to get the knowledge first before even investing, nothing much would have changed about bitcoin price.

if i put myself in their position, i might not be too comfortable investing when i have not learned that much and if i put myself in your shoe, i would not like to put myself in a spot where i have to answer a lot of questions when their investment is taking too long to yield expected returns though at the end, it depends on the kind of individual you are dealing with and how matured they when it comes to dealing with staying patience for a long term investment.

bitcoin education will help in facilitating the rate and speed of adoption of bitcoin globally and by educating the people around us on how bitcoin works and how they can key into it numerous advantages of owning bitcoin, we play a good role in exposing bitcoin to more people which is a plus to the bitcoin ecosystem.

I like being in charge when it comes to anything that has to do with money, because on several times that I tried leaving someone else to be in charge, they messed up because of greed, so for you to have decided to take the financial commitment as a sign of readiness and motivation to them since they are newbies, it makes sense at least this will force them to remain on the tracks of learning and monitoring the portfolio.


Ops you have done well and from all that I read from this I can see that you have failed to take serious steps on your risk management, I would advise you that you shouldn't promise them anything like potential profits or losses, just let them know the market and teach them through and you play the role of mentor to them.

I get it was an unfortunate disappointment for both of you, when his laptop was stolen, if he is telling the truth, since he can still chose to invest later on if he is really interested. Anyway aside that, please don't forget to cover the profile pictures of those you communicate with when sharing the chat online.

In Nigeria, it can be easier to buy the bitcoin from a trusted vendor than using any CEX for the p2p, he can act for the main time as a trusted vendor for them to get the unit of bitcoin they wish to buy and then also lecture them about the risks around p2p and why they should be careful on who they buy or sell for and best way to go about using CEX for p2p.

From what I can understand here I see OP has a very good intention to teach people around him about Bitcoin or investing in Bitcoin. That is something I really respect. And from some of the replies from Bitcoin experts and those who are already reputable in this forum, for some reason I think the people you teach should invest on their own terms and at their own risk. Sorry if I am wrong but I think accepting money from them to invest does not make them understand the benefits and risks of crypto investment better.

And about investment I agree with @Darker45 and @EFS, investment is not for those who still can't meet their basic needs. Sorry if anyone is offended but I think investment is you using your cold hard cash and not the money you should be using for your daily needs. Last point, as @EFS said, you just show them the basics like creating a wallet and trading on an exchange. After that you can filter out people who are serious about learning or not.
