Topic: Do you have a hard time bringing new people to the forum? - page 4. (Read 1209 times)

Why would you do that ? i mean, this forum is for the crypto related people and those people don't need anyone to bring them to this forum and the other people, i mean the people who don't embrace crypto, why wound they come here if they don't recognize crypto and bitcoin yet. Btw this forum is a need for the crypto users and it is useless for non crypto users.

Why do you need to tell everyone about the forum? I don't talk about crypto or about this forum with non-crypto people because I see how hard it is to convince a non-crypto person about crypto. When they heard about crypto, they started calling it a scam and when they saw the forum they gave disappointed feedback about the forum appearances. People used to use platforms like twitter, facebook where they saw a nice UI so these people don't feel comfortable using this basic UI system.

Honestly, I take my privacy very seriously, and on that note I don't want friends or colleagues to know that I've crypto assets. Whenever a discussion about cryptocurrency comes up, I rarely participate because I don't want to raise an eyebrow that I've some crypto stach. However, some of the rookie mistakes I do see online makes me feel compelled to introduce two friends to the forum since they're also interested in cryptocurrency. I've not heard any response from them, so take it that they're not interested.

yes of course, I even invited my little brother to join this forum, the first day it was successful and then her account was never opened again until now, I asked why? he answered that he didn't know where to start, there was too much this and that, he explained with lots of complaints. in the end he left, even though I had explained in as much detail as possible but that was what happened. Joining this forum should be of your own volition and high motivation, so if it's just an invitation without motivation, be like my little brother.

I never had experienced this challenge because I don’t have plans to attract people as well in the forum. Although I believe this forum is an amazing one, but it’s not that I don’t want others to get to know this forum, but if they really want to become knowledgeable about bitcoin and the crypto space, then they should work on it and do their due diligence to research on where to get reliable information about bitcoin.

However, I can always recommend bitcointalk forum to the people who are interested in getting to know bitcoin but it only ends there. They should be responsible enough to educate theirselves if they really are determined to acquire knowledge about bitcoin and the whole crypto space.

Waiting is better than inviting, not necessarily the people invited to join the Bitcointalk Forum are interested in Bitcoin, but people who want to learn everything related to Bitcoin will ask for advice to introduce them to forums that can give them broad insight regarding Bitcoin. Every day there is always something coming and going from the forum, those who are serious about learning about Bitcoin will try to learn all the knowledge to broaden their horizons. Those who feel tired or think Bitcoin is complicated and strict will choose to stop and leave the forum. No need to bother introducing Bitcoin and this forum to as many people as possible. Someone who wants to learn about Bitcoin will come to you to ask for help.

I always wanted myself to be private. There are a few people who personally knew that I have a portfolio in crypto. And when they tried to ask me for more bitcoin and crypto information, that was the time I told them to visit bitcointalk and if possible to open an account in order for them to ask more questions and interact with the crypto community. I also told them that the forum was originally founded by the founder of bitcoin itself and that known crypto personalities such as Vitalk Buterin, were here. But that is all. I have no plans to suddenly approach strangers or even friends to open an account in this forum.

I never actually shill crypto, so I don't know. But I always mention this forum whenever anyone ask me about crypto. And believe it or not, there are many people out there that have known crypto for a while, and have invested their money on Bitcoin and other altcoins that still has no idea about this forum.

Back in 2017, when I search about Bitcoin, Bitcointalk is on the first page of google search, but nowadays there are a lot of internet site that talked about crypto and Bitcoin, and maybe those site are appears first, on the top google search, not Bitcointalk anymore.

I haven’t brought someone to this forum yet, but I have the plan to do so. To be sincere, not everyone is ready to learn more, and most people find it hard to learn when they discover that others are gaining some token in the signature campaign. That is when they will start doing the best they can in order to get merit, rank up, and enrol in the signature campaign, which is not the main aim of their coming here.

Apparently, explaining bitcoin itself and the bitcointalk forum to someone who knows nothing about it is one of the toughest and hardest projects to embark on because you are not in a position to persuade them or encourage them to join. You are just going to explain the usefulness of it, which comprises the positive and negative aspects of bitcoin. Most people tend to have poor passive knowledge of understanding things, especially when it comes to crypto aspects, where they view all cryptocurrencies as scams. That is what most people find hard to understand. That is why sometimes explaining cryptocurrency to others is very hard.

But I also have a plan to do so. Definitely, I will also go on my own project to see if I will be able to educate some people about bitcoin and bitcoin talk itself. I pray it will be successful, even though I know that it will be one of the toughest projects to go on.

That's very correct brother, I don't think anyone can make it here and I say this prior to the level of seriousness and willingness that person has to learn because most person are lazy and don't want to do anything that will actually stress them and that's why they feel this place is certainly a no no to them. Like you, I actually brought someone to learn and also maybe enjoy the privileges that the forum present but due to pride and so many unmentionable character the person actually quite along the  way and gave up and since I have been very reluctant even if someone says he has developed interest in Bitcoin.

One thing about bringing people to this forum is you need to look at how the person think and his level of intellectual if they are the type that can learn and all of that, my self I have seen people whom I introduce to the forum over the years only few many of them are still active till date as most of them did not treat the forum as a community to gain information, but there is someone among everyone whom I brought here who have gained more crypto knowledge that me who brought him here and he is even doing well with a higher rank account than me who brought him here, the thing is it’s a matter of willingness and ready to learn some people are not even worth to be in the crypto space to start with so you meet such people it will be difficult to put them on the line.

This forum was very difficult for me too but I made this forum much easier through one of my friends. Currently I am just starting to learn a bit about this forum. But I have yet to analyze anyone on this forum and show interest in teaching. But one of the reasons I'm not interested in teaching anyone about this forum is because Bitcoin is illegal in my country and it becomes very risky if I talk about Bitcoin in public from here. I always work behind the scenes, I think it will cause me a lot of problems if people know that I have bitcoins stored and I earn money working in bitcoins. But in countries where Bitcoin is not legal, Bitcoin should be used behind the scenes.

I know you love your friends very well which is the reason you travel during the Christmas to impact them about BTC and also introduced them to this Bitcointalk.org forum so that they will know that BTC is a big asset everyone wish to embrace.

The luck you have is that you are not living with them in that society till now because, many people have lose their lives for such journey because the moment people discovered that you have ideas or you are a member of bitcointalk.org  forum they will set you up by arranging some group of bad guys to Kidnapp or kill you after given them your wallets address.

I have some bitter experience in this regard. Since Bitcoin is considered as an internet money. So explaining these complexities to someone new is a challenge. Because no matter how much I try to convince them about bitcoin they just consider it a scam. I tried to convince someone new with all the information related to Bitcoin. But they said no to bitcoin outright. I gave the info to the forum but they didn't take a good look. So again I don't try to convince anyone.

Is been while I had that space talking with people about this forum and bitcoin at large because I want to care about my security, you know with the nature of our country it's very hard to put trust in people because whenever you tell them about bitcoin they have this mindset that you are holding thousand of it without knowing is just some fraction you have.

This will also stirring up some form of lack of trust because you wouldn't know what that person may turn around to do at back, in Nigeria kidnapping is very common and someone can set you up and you got kidnapped at the curse of trying to put someone true about the cryptospace.

I thought I was the only one who faced the nonchalance thing from those we tried making their lives better. I've read quite a number of posts that were similar to the same experience I had with friends. Truth remains that most people are only swayed by the good life Bitcoin brings and not that they're necessarily interested in learning how it works. Many who even joined here did so (are doing so) because of the possibility of joining subscription campaigns when they rank up and not that they genuinely care what goes on here. I ain't saying it's a bad thing to get motivated by the earning opportunity this forums affords us, nope. That's not what I'm driving at here.

I've introduced a few friends here. Sadly, most of them stopped posting a few weeks after all that. Perhaps lack of interest necessitated their exit. Those who aren't interested in Bitcoin will never pick it up. I've learned to stop wasting my time trying to convince anyone about Bitcoin. Most people still think it's a scam because it's an internet thing. Leave them to their ignorance. They will learn soon.

It depends on your location if they see the Bitcoin sign on many establishments and they see positive feedback on Bitcoin, it is easier to introduce these people to Bitcoin, people are easily susceptible to being influenced by positive brands, and the brands they often see.
But if Bitcoin is unknown to people who you are trying to convince you have to make extra effort, especially to people who are not computer literate, because you will be opening a new system of payment and investing to these people and that's doubly hard.

You’re right. People don’t value things they get for free. Infact they are sceptical when someone with pure intent wants to teach them Bitcoin at no cost. Instinctively, they assume the person is selling them and has a commission to gain should they become involved in bitcoin. It’s always easier when they come to you by themselves to learn about bitcoin.

Bitcoin is now legal in my country, but that doesn’t mean one should be vocal about your bitcoin activities. You really don’t need the attention from people.

It will be very difficult to teach someone who is not ready to learn about Bitcoin or someone who hasn't know about Bitcoin before now about this forum. Where will you start from? They won't show that interest to learn as it will look totally strange to them and it will look as if you have other motives that's why you are asking them to come and learn about this forum. You can just tell them to buy Bitcoin and hodle if they have money.

Do people actually go about teaching strangers about Bitcoin? I do not consider that what I can do or what is very wise for anyone to do. The more you talk about Bitcoin, the more ignorance people will think that you are overly rich for mentioning Bitcoin. Even in my neighborhood our friends I did not talk about bitcoin with them, I will only teach you about bitcoin and the forum if you approach me and asked about it. When you first approach people to learn about something, they will definitely think that you have something important to gain from what you are telling them to learn. But when people approach you to learn about something, they will understand that you are just rendering help and favor to them and as such they would not misbehave and they would probably be serious about what you are teaching them. Immediately you start approaching people first to teach them about Bitcoin, they would think that bitcoin is a Ponzi scheme or maybe MLM marketing of a thing.

As much as it is possible, stay away from disclosing yourself as someone who is involved in Bitcoin activities. Bitcoiners seems to be at risk, either in the hand of the government or in the hand of their fellow citizens. Be cautious and be wise.
