During the Christmas holidays, I traveled to different places and one of my main target was to introduce Bitcoin and this forum to as many people as I could. I did but it was not really as easy as I expected because at a point, I was confused on where to start and how to proceed. I wanted a way of shortening the entire process for them, knowing that not everyone will be patient to go through the complex and rigorous process of learning about Bitcoin and the forum itself as a newbie. When I was first introduced into this forum, I was overwhelmed by the workload, the rules, many things to learn and indeed the expectations from me as a newbie. I actually ran away, stayed for a very long time before I remembered I had to face the new task for which I signed up.
I picked myself up and proceeded and I consider that one of the best decision of my life. Today I'm more than motivated to help as many people as possible to grasp this whole things as I know the benefits are innumerable. I don't consider it enough to encourage them to read through the forum because I still remember how difficult it was for me as a newbie, so I'm challenged in my spirit that there should be an easier way to go about introducing the entire concept to newbies.
I don't know if any of you faced this challenge, if yes, how were you able to proceed?
I myself can't remmeber precisely what has made want to know about bitcoin & criyptocurrencies.
I am really trying to introduce some youngsters to this new world - it is being really hard to explain. I use to reccomend Youtube Channels (for portuguese language, we have good ones, like
Biticonheiros, Área Bitcoin, Denny Torres - if the one can speak english, I also reccomend the
BTC Session) and books (
Bitcoin – a moeda na era digital, by Fernando Ulrich).
Actually, I initially try to make people aware of the importance to go deep in the subject - also to prevent them to buy in ATH and avoid scamms (they are everywhere, specially in the bull market).
But I must say it is a very difficult task, because people usually want to know only about profits (this is not bad), but tends to ignore important issues (this is really bad), putting thir assets at risk (and privacy and safety) - specially in this time we live, of short videos cuts for quick dopamine.
Edit: I was thinking to give papper wallets, with some satoshis, as Christmass presents, for friends/relatives - but I don't know.
