It's not even a year since I came to the forum, I'm still learning more this forum, I haven't made any kind of effort with anyone to get to know Bitcointalk forums so far. I first came to know about this forum through one of my brothers. Although I have talked  to several people about Bitcoin investing, and they have expressed interest. If they ask me a lot to learn about bitcoin or other coins then I can talk about and definitely tell them to join the forum.

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?

 

Actually there's nothing wrong with bringing people in this forum, but one thing about me I don't like forcing someone to do something that he don't even intend to do in the first place. except the person work up to me to seek for help from me that's when I can only teach you about how it works, so that should in case of anything i won't be hold responsible for that. because most people after introducing them into something probably they can go with it the wrong way, at this point people will keep blaming you for that.

When I started bitcointalk,I wasn't thought much,they told me what to do,show me how it works and I started making posts perfectly in this forum without stress.I know it might look hard trying to tell other person's,but I know I haven't told anybody about it,reason being that I want them to ask me what I do before I start telling them before they will blame me that they didn't make money quick here.One just needs to be careful in other not to enter trouble.
The forum is not some random ponzi schemes where you bother and tries to convince people to join, I know it's not easy but the best results comes with consistency, discipline and diligent efforts. Everyone is here to grow and become well-known om forum, we do our very best. Bitcointalk is not difficult as it seems right? For me, it was simple when I started and with my help of my close friend, everything was made easier because he leisure me on how to use the system and today I'm at my peak on forum.

If I would introduce bitcoin and Bitcointalk forum to a friend of mine,first I would examine the person if he/she has an interest in tech stuff, because learning is the mindset.If the person's mindset is not built on learning about bitcoin that's the first stage that discourages me on introducing bitcoin and this forum to my friends.
Lots of newbies who registered an account on Bitcointalk forum are no longer active all because they couldn't abide to the rules and regulations of the forum.And failure to learn and make contributions on quality post can also discourage a newbie since low quality posts are not merited.Before introducing this forum or bitcoin to any person it could be your friend,you should be security concoius because you don't know the intention of the person.
In addition if I would want to introduce this forum to a friend I will tell the person to read more, contribute less and make quality posts.It is said when your in Rome act like a Roman so every newly registered persons should adapt with other members in this forum.

I have introduced this forum to a few people, it doesn't take them a whole year before they decide to stop using the forum, it seems they believe this forum is a blank check and that's how I knew that crypto isn't for everybody.

I have experienced similar situations where I had either invited people to the forum or just shown the forum to them and they never showed any interest. Some would say they don't understand anything, some say they get a headache when surfing the forum because they don't know what they are doing. The reason behind this is obvious, this forum isn't some social media platform such as Facebook or Instagram where people can see images and visuals and have interactive buttons and stuff, so when they see just texts and texts everywhere and barely any images, etc., they get tired and bored.

Only those who understand the importance of this forum will stay and others will leave even if you try and explain everything to them because as I said, they wouldn't like it here because there is nothing fancy for them to see or watch. People like us who have always loved Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies would find this to be the best place to be whenever we are free.

I don't go to school anymore but I have some friends who are capable of learning fast when it comes to computer matters that's why I told them about this community, they are here and reading some posts that are related to what they want to learn about crypto. In their first days, they read a lot and learn new things every day until they become investors themselves with the money they can afford to lose. in fact, they even get the first decent profit from bitcoins earlier than me because they know where to get some money while the opportunity of buying low still there, I'm a little bit too late for that but the good thing is, we were successful in our investments, with that, I don't need to worry about getting any blames since they can take care of themselves.

Is money involved when bringing people to this forum? The last time I checked no such thing exists so why should someone go through a hard time bringing people to the forum when it is not a referrer thing?

I have introduced this forum to a few people, it doesn't take them a whole year before they decide to stop using the forum, it seems they believe this forum is a blank check and that's how I knew that crypto isn't for everybody.

See, not all those who are looking for money will embrace crypto, for some it will be too complex to accept, they are better off doing something else to make money, some people just want the bag of money the easy way, they don't want to stress themselves for anything.

I don't usually share about Bitcoin and Bitcointalk among people but I shared this forum as well as Bitcoin, with some of my friends, and that was years ago. And it will complex when they come here and try to find out their answers about cryptocurrency. That's why i personally told them and explain them about Bitcoin and this forum. Thus they gradually know what is Bitcoin, cryptocurrency and what is Bitcointalk, and how we discussed here and help each others if need.

There is nothing wrong with referring people to the forum because they will join, if they like it, they stay, and if they don't, they leave, you won't have any problems or obligations or anything, but when you suggest Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies to people, you need to understand that their profit and loss will be your responsibility, which means that if they get profit, you might get some praise for them and some appreciation, but if they lose money in it, you will need to face the blames for it.

For me, I don't do any of the two. I don't want to force anyone to do anything, if someone asks me about a place where they can learn about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies and everything in general about this industry, that is when I might suggest this forum to them, but I wouldn't do it myself.

It is said that it is difficult depending on who you invite. I once invited someone who didn't have any knowledge about crypto and he thought this was just a forum that didn't produce anything, especially with a merit system, there was nothing that could be done. after that I never invited anyone to this forum, those who come and ask certainly know how this forum provides income. But in the end it will only be a temporary visit and disappear.

Certainly, it's a very nice idea. Inviting someone to join you in achieving what you are also having. this means you are a very good sumeritan . But it depends on the nature of the person you are inviting. When the person isn't ready to spend his time online, maybe the person is someone that is a very busy person, you know, it will not go well. He will only be looking for one or two excuses. But if he's ready to do all what he or she is suppose to do, it will be more easier for you that invite him. the person has to be given the orientation on what forum is. The person will also be able to exercise patience and endurance. You have to also be careful and make sure you understand the person you are inviting.

I admit that was my goal before to bring this forum closer to the people I know so that they can also experienced the good things about it and benefit on it in the future. But when I started doing it, I realized it’s not that easy to make it happen since they will have something to say and eventually question the potentials of bitcoin and this forum so I started backing off. Instead of believing in bitcoin, they are trying to attack bitcoin instead. So that’s when I think it’s best to keep this forum to myself and just let other people witness how I prosper in life.

Although that is the best thing to do, but when you try to motivate someone in to doing something that you think would be beneficial, and the person seems not interested, then the best thing that you will do is to Walk away. Live your life the way you are, and let others live theirs, the way they are and you have peace and rest of mind.
Forum is not as easy as someone might think of it. Since it involves a lot of things like reading, writing and posting which can't be done by an ordinary person.

Honestly no. Because I don’t set any goals to bring people closer to the forum or to invest in bitcoin. Let them discover on their own. Because if they really aim to make big changes in their lives, they will find their way to the forum or to make themselves acquainted with bitcoin. Otherwise, pushing them or convincing them into what I think is right might only lead to blame me in the future when everything does not work as planned, so I just let the people around find its way to this forum or to bitcoin.
Same with mine as well. I don’t face this kind of pressure since I don’t even announce to my friends that I’m getting acquainted with bitcoin, so they’ll have no clue to ask me all about bitcoin or the crypto space. However, if someone will approach me trying to know about bitcoin, I can still be helpful to him but I won’t give him guarantees about sustainable earnings in bitcoin. And lastly, I’ll just suggest him to do his own diligence to make a good research, that way he’ll learn more all by himself.

The rules of this forum are different and here you can't run any kind of fraud but mostly newbies get involved in wrongdoing in the beginning. Because they might have come to know about the vitality of this forum from someone. But there are many people who come here just to earn money because of which they break the rules without knowing about the rules and regulations found here. However i have also worked with you in mind which is why i am now a successful crypto user and follower of this forum.

I don't bring Bitcointalk whenever time I assemble with my friends, reason is because they always see it the other way round, whenever time they are talking about bitcoin I always keep quiet and pretend like I don't even know what bitcoin is all about, because most people once you just tell them about bitcoin investment they won't even bother to know more about it, they will just jump into making investment, and once they lose they are going to hold you responsible, that you're the cause of their lost, that you shouldn't have introduce bitcoin to them in the first place, that is why I always avoid it.

It is nice to speculate about Bitcoin because it is also as means of introducing the technology to others just as various ways by which we learnt about the Bitcoin as well as getting to know about the Bitcointalk platform. So, it is also how individuals attentions can be drawn and decides on their interests in the development.

Meanwhile... Op, I hope you don't have to take out of curiosity and get yourself exposed to dangers definitely unknowingly while trying to help the contribute to the welfares with the people by through the testimonies of way you have acquired and learnt about Bitcon.

We know how some people want to take the shortcut to success by having one of those evil thoughts of stealing in one way or the other from those who had earnestly laboured for what they have achieved today.
There are actually some ingrates thinking otherwise on how to hurt persons on a relative journey as you at this course of trying to o help them out.

Don't take it personal and compulsory that you must bring in those of your interested persons into the system and be assured that if their Interests are not there, you are either wasting your valuable times or it will end up having you to be blamed for any action of lost.

While you are to introduce them to the forum, you must earlier in let them know that learning about Bitcoin through the Bitcointalk platform is basically on reading so they don't expect visual or vocal classes of learning.
There are literally lot of people who dislike learning and such is not on the good track to be here unless as time goes they can adopt reading else they would just go blind hovering all around the forum and leaves without pointed stuff to had achieved.
You also don't have to hide the stress and risky side of the forum and the Bitcoin industry itself to them and there, you will always find true interested persons. They are usually without excuses but taking their endivoirs to actions.

This mindset has erased their belief aspirations about the subject matter, this is why many will choose those schemes that are not truly Bitcoin, the inability to build the needed knowledge has affected them a lot so talking them into picking interest in a forum is not attractive to them.

If they don't have the basics about Blokchain or Crypto, I think it takes more effort. It must be interesting that this forum can make money. But based on my experience, they won't be able to last long. Especially after the new rules regarding awards to support the conditions that campaign managers want. But the earnest person then he will succeed. Luckily I can be one of them and I can be lucky to survive until now. So it all depends on each user how they struggle.

You did well by trying to bring new people to the forum, but then I will definitely not think of that, because of the kind of people I have around me, and what their mindset is about cryptocurrency many of them, just want quick income, like brunt 2 to get 10 which most times ended up as scams.

I have not on my own tried to bring someone ,but I have this very close friend that has been disturbing me about joining the forum for quite a long time now, that he would like to learn things about Bitcoin and start investing because he has met me in the house with my PC doing market analysis on Bitcoin, and he was curious to know, but I purposely kept adamant to his request to actually know how serious he is in learning, because I hate teaching or introducing things to unserious people or people that won't value what you teach them, and ain the end it becomes a waste of time and energy.

You see, these are one of the reasons why many new newbies here are not following up the way others are because they lack the legit understanding about Bitcoin and the forum it self.
If you want to tell people about the forum you just have to make sure they know what to do and not teach them and domp them half way because they will not understand and that's why many newbies bare being tagged for posting trash.
But it's good to tell and teach people about Bitcoin as Bitcoin is now the talk of the day in various places. As you wanted to teach people about Bitcoin and the forum you just have to make sure they get the point and never keep them behind, so to do all this just make sure to keep spare time to teach them so that they can understand.

Sure, it is good to tell people about Bitcoin because it is a good investment that brings huge profit if you understand all the strategies. if you said you won't tell your close ones about bitcoin that means you only want to be getting profit, and you too is someone that introduces it to you and you understand it and started investing and benefiting from it, but I think some people that don't like to introduce bitcoin is because they aren't serious about it, and they will like you should do everything for them. The forum is the finest to know more about bitcoin because everyday they discuss different thing that can benefit you and your investment and not everyone can enjoy investment in crypto, some people have not believe that bitcoin is real and they will never succeed on bitcoin and such people you can't West your time with them.

Even though the agenda is good you cannot please every time the people to adopt the use of Bitcoin, you are just wasting your time, just make an introduction to them to the people who caught their attention with the crypto or Bitcoin itself you entertain only those not everyone would like to adopt the bitcoin and would like to know to those things who doesn't help too much to their current status of living. Also, forums always have visitors who will create an account, ask a question about how to earn in Bitcoin and then vanish and seem like never been here.
