It's not like I will get paid bringing people on here, why should anyone sees it as a hard time? Because it's not by force, and I believe that anyone on here can easily tell people to come on this forum if they really want to learn everything crypto.
If the person is not dedicated they will get tired instantly when they open the forum, that's why you will see many inactive newbie accounts, they don't know where to start, and that's because they have doubt.
I have told many people about crypto but they never listened to me, because I don't have anything to show for it, they told me why I look so wretched and talking about how Bitcoin can change someone's life, but few years later things changed and they are surprised, I will only invite someone to this forum if I see the passion for crypto in them.
This days too many people like the easiest way out and if there is no passion and dedication in you it will be easier to quit crypto, it's hard for those who don't love it.

Everything is much simpler than what you write, OP. The first rule for beginners is not to copy anything from the Internet to the forum without a source; we will learn all the other rules in the process. If you invite people to the forum, you don’t need to motivate them precisely by the fact that they can earn money here; this creates a rush and impatience to increase in ranks, and as a result, the creation of thousands of posts that are of no value due to a temporary lack of knowledge of the information.
I tried to invite people from my circle to the forum, but they are not ready for Bitcoin yet, saying that it is a bubble. I don't think I need to waste time on people who don't listen.
But yes, I always provide the forum address, but I don’t consider it necessary to lead them by hand. Anyone interested will find ways here on their own.

It only takes a dedicated mind and a strong mindset to go through the learning process of bitcoin and also be patient enough to learn as people only show interest in what they will make fast money from. When you tell them how people perform certain tasks to make money here they will be amazed and be eager to join but they are not patient enough to learn and gradually grow in the forum and after a while they suddenly lose interest and forget about the forum that’s why only few dedicated minds survive here.
I don’t see any reason why I should go through the stress of putting someone through and after a while they will quit because they can’t survive the forum, they are only focused on making money without wanting to learn anything, they can’t survive the forum without knowledge and it’s easy as that.
We all went through the same thing as a newbie but how fast you grow depends on how strong you are and how dedicated you are. Most of realized at an early stage that giving up is not an option so despite all the criticism we stood firm and remained focused on learning and that was how we were able to grow here. If newbies can have same mindset and determination they can also achieve their goal without giving up.

No, I don't have a hard time because I don't even try to convince anyone of anything related to Bitcoin. If I hear someone talking about it I play dumb. The less people know that I have Bitcoin, the better. And the less I would even think of talking about it while traveling around. You want to put a bull's eye on yourself.
This is the approach that I've taken now, I hold my Bitcoin in peace and do every cryptocurrency related activities without any advertisements, because people who don't understand Bitcoin unfortunately likens it to Ponzi or some scam project and I'd have a hard time trying to explain that it's not true. I was very enthusiastic about preaching Bitcoin to friends, but I never got any positive response, so i eventually gave up, I even removed the signboard in front of my shop, advertising that I collect Bitcoin as payments, because nobody did. The few friends that I told about this forum then where more interested about how soon they'll start to earn from campaigns, they lose interest when I tell then the slow process. I can only discuss Bitcoin with anybody if I see genuine interest in them.
I don't know if any of you faced this challenge, if yes, how were you able to proceed?
I don't know why you want to tell everyone about Bitcoin and also this forum to people who don't know and maybe they know but have no interest.I would only talk about Bitcoin to people who have an interest and it would be more comfortable. what you do will certainly be difficult because if you talk about it to other people who don't think about investing or using Bitcoin for them.
just a suggestion, try to be anonymous on this. it will be safer for you with your Bitcoin holdings.
I've seen people on social media share screenshots of their wallet balances. who knows what the purpose is, but they probably didn't think about the risks.
if your goal is to invite more people to the forum to understand Bitcoin. then you should talk to those who invest in Bitcoin. because many of those who invest in Bitcoin don't know what Bitcoin is. all they know is that investment assets can be traded.

Tried twice, and both of them didn't spend too much time in the forum. They're my friends, and I tried to tell them that there's an opportunity for them to earn in the forum, but they got overwhelmed and stopped browsing immediately because they don't know where to start too. That was in 2017 when I was still a newbie, and currently, I don't bring other people here to the forum. If they see the website, I'll just tell them the name of the website, and I'll let them browse it. I will not teach them where to start whatsoever because it's overwhelming at first since you don't know where to start. I felt the same feeling as well when I was starting. I don't know if any of you faced this challenge, if yes, how were you able to proceed?
What I did is I just read articles, watched documentaries at first then read some articles here to gain at least a bit of knowledge. It's hard to let people bring in the forum TBH, but if they're interested in interacting, and at the same time earning here then they can at least endure that feeling of getting overwhelmed at first.
How am I able to proceed? I just don't do it. After all, the forum is popular already so those who are interested in cryptocurrency might see this forum, browse to it, sign up and learn.
Hey guys, those of you who are trying to convince people about bitcoin and the forum, it wouldn't hurt to read about what happened to a forum member recently.
Bitcoin Robbery
There are several of us who have said in the thread that we are not trying to convince anyone, or even talk about it, to avoid things like that.

Not really. After all, I don't convince people to sign up here. I only suggest and that's it. If they take it seriously then they can create an account. They can ask questions. They can ask for help, and I'm very willing to give it. But if they don't take it seriously, no problem.
I have exactly the same approach with Bitcoin itself. When the topic is brought up, I might share a little. If they're interested, I could continue joining the discussion. If they aren't, then we could of course talk about something else.
It's different, however, when it comes online. I think I'm a little bit more aggressive online than when it's face-to-face.

I am having a hard time explaining and also giving an example to them what they haven't fully understand yet even though I already explained it. Well, it's not really necessary or a requirement to bring them to the forum. Actually, I have been a registered forum member and only make one person come to this forum to learn more about cryptocurrency. It didn't take long for me since he is interested to learn more that's why I told him about the forum and he's been in the forum for years already.

Seriously i don't know what the ops aim to gain in this, for goodness sake this should be some form a joke really, i don't know what some members of this forum are taking the forum for other than just a discussion forum, and for only those who have interest in the discussions that go on in here, also going around telling people about Bitcoin sound to me to be a wired thing to do, and for that i have to say that doing so you are already violating the law of privacy which Bitcoin portrays as a core value.Really when I read some of these posts, I tend to believe that, some of these people take Bitcoin to be some form a crowd crowdfunding movement that they need to recruit people into, if not why for goodness sake will anyone go about telling people about the forum, better to teach the financial knowledge instead and also advice those who have the money to invest to put the money in the right investments.
I have had difficulties trying to explain what the forum is all about to the few people who had interest to learn or become members here and I think my experience with them is the major reason why I don't talk about the forum again whenever I'm with them. They said they just want to know how much I have made since I became a member here and the second guy asked if they can be given some Bitcoin if he joins the forum so that alone made me not to talk about the forum with them again.

He’s trying to be helpful and would want others to learn from what he has benefited from, if not; he’s going to be living with guilt. As you said, it is better less people know that you’re into bitcoin than letting many of them know as it can cause harm to you if it gets to the ears of the wrong people. He knows his people better and maybe they are not the type of people that envy a lot or would envy his achievements in bitcoin. We want widespread adoption and use of bitcoin but it shouldn’t be at the expense of you sacrificing what you’ve learnt to have come this far about bitcoin and the forum.
I have only succeeded in bring only one of my friend into this forum, and this was because he later picked interest and decided to learn more about bitcoin. Initially when I spoke to him about bitcoin he was reluctant about learning g it but as time passes by, I saw him again and this time he told me that he wants to learn and showed interest, which I saw in him.
In life, whatever that you are serious to do and give it your time, you will possibly achieve it. He was already used to reading so he was able to register and started learning her and he is still very active here and I might even say that he is enjoying the forum and giving it more time than I do.

Its not really easy teaching someone what took you months to learn and expecting them to know that much within the shortest period of time. Every thing in life is a gradual process. People would want you to to explain in detail especially the financial aspect of it. And if you don give a lay down diagram of how the money is coming they wouldn't be interested. Trying to summaris the teaching without explaining to their satisfaction is always a problem. Thats why many people dont like teaching about it. Some would even accuse you of being a fruad Star.
When I was also introduced to the forum, i find it difficult to comprehend about how the forum works, considering the numerous laws guiding it and also faced the challenge of constant reading of some hours. I hardly come online but of recent, I have been coming online and I am beginning to like and understand how the forum works. Everything is just a matter of time and consistency.

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.
This is something good to do, but also very challenging and demanding as well, it something that has to do with having patients, endurance and time, these are part of the sacrifice needed of you to give through, you will find it a little challenging on how to cope with people and how they can easily acquire the the basic and fundamental knowledge about bitcoin, another thing is that many people who made a try to start on the forum here can't even do without plagiarizing and what they may also expect is making money right away from here.
The forum is actually not a small place to be, like you said many has come but can't sustain up till now they often end up on the way many newbies signing up each day on the forum. The learning process here never ends and growing up to be becoming reputable will definitely take some breath out of you, a lot of works needs to be put in learning and good contribution to the forum.
Of course it will be very difficult to bring new people to the forum as no much people are willing to do the learning process.

Uh, I actually tried doing it, talking about the forum to a friend and although they seemed interested for a time, it was kinda hard to keep up. It got me to understand that it's not everyone that's supposed to know about the forum. Some feel that since it's just to read and post, it's as easy as ABC but I beg to differ. Sometimes it's hard trying to convince someone that once you're in a sig campaign, all you'd do is to make meaningful posts, and you'd get paid for it! I mean, it's insane and quite a mouthful to take in, at least I know I didn't believe the person that told me too, so instead of spending my time bringing in people, I rather do my thing...does that make me selfish tho? 
I don't know if any of you faced this challenge, if yes, how were you able to proceed?
This is usual for the majority of us, even if some of us did not come publicly to explain how they go about presenting Bitcoin or this forum to those around them.I commend you for taking the time to spread positive news about Bitcoin and the Bitcointalk forum. It is not always easy because people have different perspectives and understandings of Bitcoin, which makes convincing them difficult, but if you were able to explain it properly, they will be able to understand and know the primary goal of Bitcoin.
not everyone has confidence in bitcoin like we do here, so i'm too lazy to invite other people into this forum because it will only waste my time and energy. if they are interested in learning about bitcoin, yes i will invite them to join this forum, but if they are not that interested i will not be bothered to invite them because it is pointless anyway.

During the beginning of my bitcointalk Journey, I shared/tried to introduce the forum with some friends. Yes, it was tough also for me to teach them how bitcointalk works. Learned from there and I never try to introduce someone after 2018. And even I never thought I needed to invite someone here tbh. Because it just creates some problems for me instead of some benefits.
