Topic: Effortlessly promoting Bitcoin, raising the curiosity of none bitcoin ethusiast (Read 498 times)

I think that the best method, is to show it only to close friends and relatives, and when they realize after a few years, they will come back and ask. If you try to push bitcoin down their throats, they will not likely take the orange pill

For a newcomer with less activity than others, I'll say that you have developed very remarkable than many of us here, perhaps because of the effort you invested in crafting your post. I really appreciate that you took the time to create such a wonderful addition to this community.

However, you really have quite the scheme considering that the cryptocurrency space carries some risk that could affect people, particularly if they are overly curious and don't know where to get accurate information or if they rely on social media as a means of advertisement. We should also be aware that scammers can take advantage of our hard work and mislead those people by presenting a way to make money with cryptocurrency, which would cause them to fall. There is also additional risk associated with storing cryptocurrency and other information that might be difficult to come by.

It's true that a lot of adults and young people are interested in cryptocurrencies, but what keeps them from taking the plunge is that they lack the means to learn about it or even believe it would be too complicated. If we were to start enforcing or explaining to them the decentralization of bitcoin and their ownership of all assets, it might be a little too much for them to understand or accept because most of them are already accustomed to fait and find it to be much easier to use than bitcoin, and being your own boss comes with a lot of learning responsibilities, or would we continue to be of help to them untill they can stand, even so a better remedy to this would be to introduce them to this forum which I know for know is the only bitcoin friendly community wary of scam.

Regarding the second approach, in which you propose incorporating bitcoin into our way of life, I would much rather do so since only in this way can we actually draw people to it—without coercion—because they would genuinely love it by us.

In conclusion, I believe that if any of this strategy is put into practice, we should have a backup plan, a way to get them here, and some time for them to get used to it. They would likely start off acting very foolish, rarely receive much attention, and eventually leave for these reasons.
However, consider all options carefully before acting, as there may be unfavorable consequences.

Social media is one of the fastest forms of sharing information, and of course, because of their curiosity, they make additional searches on this on the internet and with the help of the search engines we are using and even the chatbot gives a lot of details related into it, it's too hard to catch the attention of a person if they didn't too much interested in that thing even you keep introducing to them what are the ways to earn, etc. if they didn't really care so better to give your time who are willing to learn, its not your lost. By that sure you can gather together an information and share ideas to make both of you help each other.

Social media is such a big platform or tool to influence other people. Things can spread quickly because of social media. Also the fact that both social media and Bitcoin is related to technology, socmed for me is still the best way of promoting Bitcoin. It's easier to give useful information to others and way more convenient as well.
Another way of spreading info about Bitcoin is through the word of mouth. You can start telling people you know about Bitcoin and your experiences with it. Since they personally know you, there's more trust compared to just random people promoting Bitcoin. Once you were able to convince your family or friends about Bitcoin, they can also do the same... But of course, you also need to be aware of where you'll be sharing such information. Some people may see it as an opportunity to take advantage of it, knowing you're into Bitcoin and you probably have them. You can raise awareness but don't forget about your security as well.

In as much as it's good to encourage Bitcoin adoption, one should be more careful of what he or she spills out as a result of conversing about Bitcoin because we've heard of so many bad events that took place because of Bitcoin knowledge to the wrong people. Though Bitcoin from my perspective does not longer need too much advertisment because it has gain globe recognition already, even of one does not know about Bitcoin but at least most have heard of it one way or the other.

Our role is just to explain to the ones that are ready to know about Bitcoin, the real Bitcoin knowledge and differential Bitcoin from every misconceptions that has been built in their minds.

Just like what I am doing when explaining to those I know the difference between bitcoins and from Ponzi Scheme investment that has been circulating in our community for a while because they thought it was the way to invest in bitcoins but they don't know they were just being fooled and it's my role to explain it to them clearly in order for them not to get fooled by those people and thankfully most of them accepted my explanations and I was able to convince them enough to invest in bitcoins the right way and they are even now big investors bigger than me.  

You don't look like an anti-Bitcoin to me, but it's strange on why your response are like that. If you HODL a BTC, or even if not but you are a pro-Bitcoin, you will want more people to know BTC and it does not matter if those people will buy a BTC and if it impacts the price of BTC or not. BTC may be popular now, but there are still people who didn't know it, this is why spreading the word BTC is still a must.

Promoting Bitcoins is usually done voluntarily but maybe some here in the forum expects something like a merit. They can also do what you said which to send their referral links so that they can get some incentives. It is possible on some crypto wallets, exchanges, etc.. that we use.

We just don't talk to strangers because you'll never know the intentions that they have and that might be the scary part of it when someone approaches you and that person caught you off guard. Don't be overwhelmed when a person asks you things that are important and you always need to be alert with it.

The same for me but before, it was really different and how I was like talking to anyone that shows interest to Bitcoin but after realizing that I need to take care of myself as well and need to be observant at all times.

Thinking that more than 50% of people use Bitcoin, even if it's 50% of Internet users, is just not supported by any evidence. The Internet is used by over 5 billion people, so that would mean that Bitcoin must be used by at least 2.5 billion people, while it's clear that we aren't even near to 1 billion.
But as for promotion, there are some problems with that. Since many people focus on the investment side of Bitcoin, promotion of Bitcoin often feels to others like evidence that Bitcoin is a scam, a ponzi that its adopters promote because they need new members to join. But Bitcoin isn't like that, so it's important not to contribute to negative sentiments by overselling Bitcoin to those around us. I've lightly introduced perhaps up to 20 people to Bitcoin, by mentioning it when it seemed relevant. Some became active users, some forgot all about it, some are considering it. That's the way of things, and I think casually making people aware of Bitcoin is enough. I wouldn't go as far as Bitcoin-related merch, logos in social media profiles, etc. It's a personal risk, and it can also have a negative impact.

It is good to promote bitcoin, and can be very helpful to other people. But one side is that while promoting bitcoins, is that you will then be putting yourself at a position where people can blame you if things do not happen the way they expect. Anytime you are promoting bitcoins, the mistake to avoid is being not completely truthful about the market and how it can be very volatile. Tell them the whole thing to avoid being blamed.

It's really scary, that's why I don't really open my activity about bitcoin to strangers, I personally only share about bitcoin (promoting) to people which are already know before. We must always be careful of our assets, especially if we live in a quiet place. In my environment, Bitcoin no longer needs to be promoted, most people know what Bitcoin is. But on the other side, there are still many who are not interested yet in investing, maybe the price is too high or they don't have enough funds to own bitcoin.

Why would anyone now need to promote Bitcoin? Firs through negative publicity by mainstream media it got promoted after 2017 ATH. The next it got promoted by Elon Musk and after 2021 ATH positive news by mainstream media promoted Bitcoin. Now if the Bitcoin ETF gets approved we might be seeing financial institution promoting it. We don't need to do anything, just sit back and enjoy the organic promotion of Bitcoin.

To each their own as they say, for me, I just want to protect myself and my future but if someone asks me questions about Bitcoin I'll definitely respond because that's the type of conversation that I want to have. But of course, there will be grounds and it will also depend to the person that I'm talking to. We just have to be careful as well and we, as someone who's into this market, we can also be picky on whom we're going to talk especially if the person that approaches us and want to start a conversation about Bitcoin is kind of suspicious.

Bitcoin doesn't need a promotion, I have never seen someone involved in Crypto saying oh wait, what's Bitcoin? You see less people investing in Bitcoin because they think you need to own atleast one and that costs $45k as of now which makes them ignore Bitcoin and start searching for the next Bitcoin. Oh, Ethereum is like so much cheaper and then they start investing in that asset which is not deflationary but is told by some devs.

You can still promote bitcoin without forcing people to invest in it, giving people the awareness of bitcoin to let them know what bitcoin is all about, then it is left for them to pick interest to invest after they might have understand bitcoin well. When Promoting you have to let people know the way to start investing in Bitcoin that will end up in losing money.

You don't just promote bitcoin by telling people how profitable it is, doing this will develope the mindset of getting money quick in bitcoin without knowing how profit can be gained in investing bitcoin.  Promoting bitcoin atleast people should understand that bitcoin is volatile and it investment is a longterm investment and bitcoin is not what they can depend on as a source of income. Their is a need to have a job or something doing while investing in bitcoin.

Definitely a scary thought but to me, I feel like it's a matter of being vigilant, if you're promoting cryptocurrency then you should be more aware of your surroundings and that you're making the right decisions and careful about the people that you're talking to because that's how some people get caught with what they're doing, being a voice for bitcoin adoption comes with a risk and I dare to say that I'm alright with the risks involved because I know there's more to this with me talking about bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general than being scared to death about what might happen to me.

I don't agree that the promotion of Bitcoin should be encouraged. Bitcoin has become very popular on a global scale.
Do you really believe that getting a few people into buying BTC can change anything? The BTC price won't get pumped, just because you convinced several newbies into buying BTC. Do you expect someone to give you a medal for your service?
There's no point promoting Bitcoin, unless you get financial incentive(in the form of commission for every referral), but Bitcoin isn't a product or a company. Be careful about telling people that you own Bitcoins. Some people with bad intentions might get in touch with you.

Teaching Bitcoin to strangers when you are alone is risky. Like you go to a new nation, live in new location and hang out to find strangers and teach them about Bitcoin. It is like showing strangers that you have money and I am sure some strangers are not good people. They actually don't know how much do you have but if they feel you have money, have bitcoin, they can kidnap you and do even worse things to you.

The best advice is don't. I agree with you.

Don't do this, because when you teach people are close to you, even you say it's not financial advice, you are not free from their complain later. If they come to you, complain that they get loss, even it is not your fault, you will still feel very annoying and uncomfortable.

Don't teach them will give you more comfortable life. If they want to learn, they can learn from many resources on Internet.

I think that is why bitcoin is much better, it makes sense that it would be something that you could make a lot of money from BECAUSE it is new, and people should realize that we are going to end up with something that should benefit everyone. I believe that the best thing to do is to get a lot better approach to it, and we should definitely consider that as the most important part.

That doesn't mean that we are not going to end up with anything that would hurt people on the long run, we just need to make sure that it is going to end up with a result that should not be all that confusing. I personally hope for the best, and invest into bitcoin that would not be all that easy to handle, could definitely change it for the better.

That is one thing that should be considered as to why Bitcoin is decentralized: to give its user anonymity and ensure their safety and security. Not only for the newbie people but also the safety of the person teaching would be in danger, especially if he or she is trying to teach a stranger. I don't really suggest that people promote Bitcoin to people who are close to you like friends, co-workers, family, etc. I mean it wouldn't always be a good idea to be involved in this kind of promoting Bitcoin which is volatile and has risks where people could still possibly lose huge amounts and break relationships. Maybe online will do, since you can change your identity and settings so that people can't figure out your privacy, but still need to be cautious as people can do complicated things just to get your hands on your funds like hacking or scamming.
