Topic: Educating people on Bitcoin for free - page 4. (Read 4028 times)

I do think it is more on the interest of people in knowing what cryptocurrencies (or Bitcoin) is all about.

The problem with cryptocurrencies stem from its relatively technical aspect where it can be difficult to explain it in layman's terms to a normal crowd. But once they show interest over the subject, this willingness to learn will drive their motivation to study and find out more about Bitcoin.

This kind of scenario is what is currently happening over the years ever since Bitcoin started to exist. There are countries who start using it as their legal tender; while there are also countries who prohibit the utlization of such.

this is what i have seen since yesterday where many people panic selling because they hope to get rich in a short time with bitcoin without having to know more deeply what bitcoin is, i think educating people is a good idea and bitcoin needs people like you to educate them well about bitcoin although I know it will be difficult to make bitcoin a currency

When you talk about Bitcoin education you have to be specific in your approach because there will be no way to teach Bitcoin without your teaching and defining blockchain, and some other important aspects of the whole cryptographic.
If you only narrow your area of coverage to only Bitcoin as a subject then, the knowledge that will build will be limited to Bitcoin alone but I will suggest you go beyond that since Bitcoin gradually become a legal tender in some countries around the world.

cryptocurrency influencers have a tremendous impact on spreading knowledge about cryptocurrencies, but some of these influencers also take advantage of this opportunity to take a lot of advantages by inviting people to trade and using their referral links without any clear education about what cryptocurrencies really mean and purpose. there are many ways that can be done to educate people so that they understand what we are explaining. This modern era is getting easier by providing references in the form of videos or articles that discuss bitcoin or crypto. Knowledge of bitcoin and crypto as well as the technology in it must be given early so that they are well educated and become the next generation who can develop crypto better.

Recently I am in Ecuador, I like to grab people who are older and talk to them about bitcoin, because they are more understanding people but they are very difficult to convince, they think that everything about digital waves is a lie, it is very difficult, sometimes there are many people who understand but do not dare to buy, others if they want to buy and do not want to because they are afraid, but I like to convince and educate older adults because in any world catastrophe I do not want them to be left helpless if they depend on a bank.

You know what, just after 2021 has passed. There are too many influencers and "educators" that I am seeing online teaching about bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. Most of them focusing on trading and they really are attracting a lot of newbies because of what they're telling. I guess it is timely because when someone hears about bitcoin, money comes into their mind and it's like sort of a rich getaway that everyone is eligible to be not unless they completely understand what it is all about.

What they basically need is sanitation, orientation we are in a world where anyone could easily get to the internet to google about any information concerning what they have heard, thought on whatever the case may be. They need to told about Bitcoin security because it means alot many people lacked the understanding on how to take precaution from how and when to showcase their keys to users, they have entirely lost their investment. Furthermore the kind of link they should click or open from their device and not to accept all offer, most scammers get users through cheap offers and newbie thinks all offers are legit by which falling into prey and being a victim.

because bitcoin has been used by hundreds of millions of people around the world, the government actually has to play a role in educating bitcoin, its functions and how to secure it. as a bitcoiner, I also always educate people around me about bitcoin but i know my scope is limited and it is impossible to expand the education I give about bitcoin.

Along with the teaching about bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, it is always good to teach them with the real life usage of cryptocurrencies. Because, people doesn't know for what purpose this is being used and it's real potential. Rather than the usage of bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, the technology is getting used in every sector. Those things will make them know about the technology as well, than just finding it a financial product.

You have said it all. Every topic in educational teaching and learning process must start from the basic. a teacher can not jump a topic to a subtopic which the students have not really understood. Like now if one has to teach bitcoin, sh/he has to start from what is bitcoin, after the rigorous explanation of the concepts then how bitcoin work plus the risk but most of the educators will not follow these steps so at the end even the persons that learned from them will end up losing bitcoin because there was no proper guide.

if bitcoin were accepted as an analogue of the financial system, it might be relevant to teach elective courses in higher educational institutions or IT specialties on the basics of the same transfers of p2p wallet tools, etc.

It's 2022 ! doesn't like everyone know about bitcoin already ?

Third world countries still have low bitcoin adoption rates, but they have far bigger problems to deal with instead of getting educated about bitcoin.

Education is the only thing that can make changes. With bitcoin the education need to be done in a way that it will help them stay away from scams. Because, many users have lost big with the thoughts of making big money. This ends up their cryptocurrency usage on their very first attempt and have a negative thought over cryptocurrency. So, the beginning should be the learning to stay away from scammers. Further slowly the user himself have got so many platforms to educate himself and can get the help of others.

Depends actually on how you do able to hear up about bitcoin, if it do starts from those easy money rich quick scheme crypto investments then you would really be having this kind of impression towards it.but later on when your experience and awareness becomes even more better then you would definitely realize on what are the real deal and information about it not only on bitcoin but crypto as a whole and you would really
be that optimistic on sharing up the idea on other people to have at least able to grasps some opportunity and utility as well which we know that it is really that helpful.
Educating people is not easy because you would really be needing to have that patience plus enough knowledge about on what you are trying to teach.

Indeed, can't be denied these facts. Many newbies are commonly driven by the media that can spread the news about the negative and positive sides of Bitcoin. But unfortunately, there are more FUD and negative news spreading so far. That is why many people are afraid at first before understanding the exact information about Bitcoin itself. Moreover, if this is also related to certain interests in the country, the government, the one that has the highest authority and interests may also find it easier to lead certain opinions against Bitcoin. We know how some people in the governance also don't like Bitcoin adoption and they will be the toughest parts to regulate Bitcoin.

Btw, the mindest of many newbies about Bitcoin is also about the hype and risks. the hype may lead them to expect that Bitcoin can make them rich very soon, and when they cannot, they will think that Bitcoin is a lie and scam. Besides, they may also think that Bitcoin is very risky because they can lose all money easily when the market is crashed. This is in their thought and mind, moreover, they are thinking about this without willing to learn and understand exactly what happened.

And I do agree with you, giving an explanation to people around us to make them aware without forcing them to learn or invest in Bitcoin may be wise enough. We can tell them the truth about Bitcoin basically and let them learn again and again. And one important thing is also not to believe FUD or negative news about Bitcoin easily, they need to check and crosscheck the news again and also follow the progress of the news.

Previously, I tried to provide lessons to users on a Facebook group specialized in buying digital products, and they were all using Bitcoin without having sufficient knowledge of the technology behind it. I used the Zoom application and tried to summarize all the issues related to the Bitcoin blockchain network and provide definitions for the concept of the wallet and the transaction and the difference between the different currencies, but unfortunately it did not work because with 30 people who started with me in the first session, there are only three left in the last session, and I think one of them Only he could comprehend it.
This made me lose hope that this would work if I re-implemented the idea then stopped it.

He can also introduce this forum to these "students" as definitely they will get tons of info that they can't find over other sites. There are important discussions that they can also get insights of, just like in installing the wallet, compiling if they want to learn, a lot of discussions when it comes to trading and new alts, and many others.

I'd see the effort you made OP. Many have made their own search online but I see it was more effective if there is someone who would teach you personally and can answer questions directly and in detail. Doing this is not easy but as you are motivated to do this, nothing will come to your mind. I hope your neighbors will never miss this chance and they will appreciate the hard work you've made in order to see the good things about Bitcoin and have the idea why many people had take the risk of investing in this.

That was the good start of their crypto journey as they understand it.

The one thing that made me to like cryptocurrency is because the education foundation of it is free. Because of the people who is into cryptocurrency like to render education of cryptocurrency for free. Since i know cryptocurrency i have not seen where people are learning cryptocurrency for free. For bitcointalk forum the most of the information given in beginner's and help section to bring newbies along side to Bitcoin is free. So it's all these i seen like cryptocurrency education is free
