Topic: Effortlessly promoting Bitcoin, raising the curiosity of none bitcoin ethusiast (Read 472 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.

There are times that we're proud to be holding it for so long but you'll have that realization when you've seen news like those that I've linked. It's just best to be silent and choose the people you'll talk too about Bitcoin but if it's with finances, maybe some little bit of casual talk that one may mention Bitcoin about it. While it's true that people that have lack idea about what Bitcoin is, mostly are negative and skeptic on it.

And if we're going to analyze it, before it was the non Bitcoiners think that Bitcoin is just for the criminals. Going on to the present time, we are realizing that the bitcoin holders are afraid of the criminals(who's not?) and who knows that those that have been skeptic about BTC before are one of us how.

It's all evolving, I mean in the beginning , nobody wants bitcoin and I think everything started in 2017 when we have a bullish run up to almost $20k and everyone though, hmm, we can make money out of it.

And so criminals whether online or offline has a field day hunting those bitcoin enthusiast, rob them or their hard earn Bitcoin. That's why it's no longer to talk about Bitcoin in public to non-coiners as someone might be eaves dropping and then will follow you at home and uses that $5 wrench attack as we are now in their radar.

Because they're being taught in traditional way, they only know tangible assets e.g. fiat, land, real estate, gold, or anything that you can see has a physical appearance. What about stock? it's promoted by the country and government, especially it already exist since long time.

While Bitcoin? it's fairy new, intangible asset, and the most of country doesn't promote it, some even say it's illegal and haram.

That's why its important to consider the welfare of people which we want to teach since by having that they might prone to any risk its because bitcoin is hot money for criminals and they might be an easy target for them especially if they are not properly guided well after they learn about bitcoin or crypto. At my place its really complicated since I think I am the only one know about it since I never heard bitcoin discussed here so I choose to be silent since I don't want to create any noise that I have bitcoin. Also not planning to introduce this to them since I don't know what will be their take about it and also don't want to create some negative impression from them knowing unknowledgeable people always be so skeptical on new information's they have heard.

My country has a more complicated situation. Anti-Bitcoin are common among individuals over 35. Bitcoin is distrusted by this group, which is rooted in established banking systems. This is why awareness is so important.

Indeed, education is powerful. Misunderstanding and ignorance fuel most anti-Bitcoin attitudes. To educate those who are unfamiliar, especially the elderly, is my goal. Its about simplifying Bitcoin's terminology. After understanding Bitcoin, many see it as an opportunity.

Its about applying Bitcoin's benefits to their daily life, not just bombarding them with facts. Even the most doubters soften when I do so. While risk is always present, the potential returns for individual investors and the society are significant. Sharing knowledge benefits everyone and is a Bitcoin enthusiast's duty.

Well, it will depend on the environment or the country itself. I notice that in my country there is no one who is anti-Bitcoin; maybe there are persons with malicious intentions towards bitcoin holders, but the thing is, is it enough to be afraid? For me, no, if I want, I will spread awareness about bitcoin or introduce it to the crowd whenever there is a chance, because why not? Its good to share this kind of opportunity with others, and it will benefit us who are currently holders or investors of bitcoin, because more investors added equals the price movement will be greater, and it will give us more windows of opportunity to earn. I don't want to gatekeep those who want to learn about bitcoin, so I will not be afraid of such things. Yes,  there is a risk, but I think it will be worth it. Of course, I will not flex and reveal my assets to avoid being targeted with malicious intentions.

Creating the awareness of bitcoin is a thing of choice and not every bitcoin enthusiast will love to follow the idea, as some will say creating awareness sounds risky and you have to be careful, with the stories we see online sometimes by people who got hacked and scammed is enough reason to stay careful when creating bitcoin awareness, bitcoin has gained ground in the crypto world so anyone who wants to invest in crypto will first hear about bitcoin cause bitcoin is so popular. Secondly the people you're talking about are they willing to invest or you just want to create the awareness, several people will learn and refuse to put it into practice and if creating bitcoin awareness to such people then you're wasting your time. Let's be realistic, if you own an organization or a private school then it will be easy to create such awareness, as an bitcoin enthusiast you can start from your employees and students, with this idea it will be easy and it sounds less risky.
The idea with physical items sounds too risky, just imagine I wore a shirt that has bitcoin logo three times or more, people will definitely suspect and with such you're giving room for scammers or robbers mostly if your environment is not safe and it doesn't sound funny, if talking about physical items then it's better to keep bitcoin knowledge to yourself to avoid risk.

As much as I want to promote Bitcoin on social media with my friends, I take care of myself because of the cases about $5 wrench attacks. It's okay to promote it to your actual friends but sometimes, you need to put boundary on whom you're going to tell it because you don't know some of the friends on your social media have been tracking your move and might go against you and will come by to take your Bitcoin. Take it for these examples:

• Elderly N.C. couple was held hostage in their home and robbed of $156,000 in cryptocurrency
• Kidnapped for crypto: Criminals see flashy crypto owners as easy targets, and it has led to a disturbing string of violent robberies

Should we then consider the subject of Bitcoin as a secret topic to be discussed only within a closed group?

The fear of being haunted by anti Bitcoiners or kidnappers or hackers is always there, but somehow, if we were to find ourselves in an environment where we feel the persons around could do good with the knowledge, mostly to either be as an extra source of income or as a means of payment for their international transactions or as a means to invest in the future, then we shouldn't fail to share the knowledge and educate such persons.

There are pros and cons to this two method you listed but before I begin I want to support your initiatives of promoting bitcoin in the best way we can in our locality. Bitcoin isn't a new invention anymore as people already know about Bitcoin but percentages of people that know about bitcoin aren't using it as a currency because of many reasons but we won't be going into the reasons for this discussion but we can encourage the use of Bitcoin by providing people a means to ise Bitcoin provided why aren't breaking any laws of our country.

For the two method, I'll prefer the physical store approaches than the social media. Social media will reach a wider range of audience but we'll be attracting only those that sees bitcoin as an assets to be used as store of wealth or to multiply wealth. There's nothing wrong in that but we need more people that'll give Bitcoin physical utility so accepting Bitcoin at our physics shops will help with that.


We all have to contribute to the growth of Bitcoin in its utility features, the little we can do will go a very long way. We're in a decentralized environment so everyone has to put hands together to achieve our aim but we shouldn't go against the governments of our nations to avoid jail time or huge fines.

I actually agree with an idea like this, but at the time.
And for now it seems like this idea has risks for those who use it, because currently everyone, all criminals and all groups know about Bitcoin, and also know that Bitcoin is very valuable or you could say digital gold. And bad people, even not bad people, can become bad when they see a Bitcoin symbol or picture somewhere or something that someone is using because they will think you have a lot of Bitcoins and they want to commit a crime by taking your Bitcoins. And maybe by kidnapping just to get a private wallet or other means, just to get Bitcoin.
So in my opinion, something like that is best avoided even though it is a great way to introduce Bitcoin, but for security and convenience it is best not to do it.

Sure, Bitcoin can handle P2P transfers, but it's so much more. Imagine a world where artists get paid directly by fans, cutting out the middlemen. Imagine a global marketplace where anyone, anywhere, can trade goods and services without borders or limitations. That's the power of Bitcoin – it opens up a whole new landscape of possibilities.

Let's be honest, the "overnight riches" crowd is always going to be there. But instead of chasing fleeting profits, let's talk about the long-term potential. Bitcoin's like a sturdy oak, not a fly-by-night weed. It's about building wealth gradually, responsibly, and with a clear understanding of the risks involved.

Encouraging the use of Bitcoin is a task that many avoid due to the risks involved. By promoting Bitcoin you might reveal yourself as an investor and attract potential hackers. This increased visibility can expose you to more cybersecurity threats, so it's wise to be cautious when promoting cryptocurrencies especially Bitcoin. Some people prefer to keep their cryptocurrency holdings private for security and privacy reasons, avoiding the limelight and potential risks.

In some countries where security is less, alot of person might end up being target by thief's and somany other criminals out there. That's why sometimes, it's advisable to only inform people closer to you who don't know about Bitcoin.

Don't educate uninterested people about this since instead of getting a lot of positive feedback about what you are doing people might get a wrong impression about what you do and you might be called running a scam on your place. So don't push to hard to market this since bitcoin doesn't actually need that. Don't waste your effort to those people who have zero knowledge about it since they are actually not a great target.

But focus to those people who have interest about crypto but they have less knowledge since for sure they are worthy to teach more about bitcoin and other cryptocurrency. For sure as bitcoin gaining a lot of success the news will just come to them so just wait for people to come and approach you that they want to learn about it since from that they are more eligible to receive the information about bitcoin.

Bitcoin doesn't need any introduction now as most of us are aware of Bitcoin but rather we need to find suitable reason for people to adopt to Bitcoin and i remember during early days I used to pitch people by showcasing then the benefits of Bitcoin as P2P transfer without third part and without higher charges but now there are much better options availing market for P2P transfer hence it should be a mix approach of investment cum P2P transfer method but now people are more profit oriented and looking for something which can make hem rich overnight hence it would be a bit of challenge to get new users onboard as they are just keep on profits.

It was back then that bitcoin needs awareness because the news of bitcoin is everywhere especially in countries that government didn't legalize cryptocurrency, a lot of them will know about it, but you should also know that it is a choice for people to make if they are willing to learn and adopt it or not. This is why you don't need to introduce bitcoin to everyone you see but to only your family and friends that show interest in it. Bitcoin can also be promoted in a charitable way by showing love to people in need. Bitcoin is now promoting itself as you can see the news with SEC and bitcoin ETF approval, only that has done a lot in promoting bitcoin. You are free to do what you like to promote bitcoin in your own way.

why do you think that promoting Bitcoin to new people in crypto is dangerous? Who else we should promote it to? what you saying doesn't make any sense unless you have some strong points to support it.
Promoting Bitcoin to non-crypto folks is the only promotion we need. because people who know about crypto or Bitcoin don't need our awareness. they are already aware.
and no there is no danger in promoting Bitcoin at all.. it can be too exciting for them sometimes. it is also risky. but properly telling them about Bitcoin and educating them about the risks can solve all these problems.

Both of them are terrible ideas.

If you promote Bitcoin in your personal account, it will gather a lot people in online. While the second one will gather a lot people in offline, so you're completely lose your privacy as everyone know you're Bitcoin holder.

Why it's bad to be known as Bitcoin holder? they will think you're rich and they will beg your for money, if not they will mad and say bad thing about you. This also increase a chance you will be target by $5 wrench attack.

I agree, but not just because of that. I don't think that your close friends will kill you for your Bitcoin (but I can't deny, that it's possible, the chances are just low). But you're just gonna bother people you know and look like some member of the cult if you'll try to push it to them.

I agree with you, never advertise you have anything, we live in a world where people kill for a cigarette...
People who want to know will do their research.

There is definitely a possibility that someone who sees me might get curious but there is also a huge possibility that other people would just ignore the logo and then we have another possibility someone who is already well aware of what bitcoin is sees me wearing a shirt with a bitcoin logo or walking around with a cup with a bitcoin logo in it and attempts to put me in danger by stealing let’s say my phone which is ideally where i would have my wallets on

For me personally i just am not comfortable with parading myself around people who might have ill intentions towards me or my money

In a nutshell, Bitcoin is no longer a baby and it has reached to a period of organic adoption growth. It no longer needs shilling marketing efforts, like we commonly see with alternate cryptocurrencies nowadays, to expand its adoption.

Naturally, every four years, with each Bitcoin halving event, Bitcoin is mentioned more on social media and it will be exposed to new people. Some of them will become new Bitcoiners, new Bitcoin maximalists who will be tested with a consequent bear market. Who are strong enough to stay through one bear market will actually stay here for many years.

The bullish case for Bitcoin.
You can read it on Medium or buy a book from Amazon.

Any website or publication that affirms that 50% of the world's population uses not just Bitcoin but cryptocurrencies is fake. The majority of research claims that global cryptocurrency users are within the range of 4.2% of the global population. Another research also states that only 0.5% of the world's population owns Bitcoin. We have to always do our research to avoid believing fake news.


Promoting Bitcoin is by choice and not an obligation. If you have the opportunity to educate someone about Bitcoin, you could go ahead and expose the currency to the individual. But don't forget that Bitcoin promotes privacy. You don't need to show everybody that you own Bitcoin this is why I am not comfortable with wearing materials that show people that I own Bitcoin. There have been cases of attacks by armed robbers on some crypto promoters because they were promoting the industry on social media. I prefer to select the people that I inform about Bitcoin because of safety. Not to worry, Bitcoin will always find itself in news headlines because of its uniqueness. But like I said, if you have a platform to promote Bitcoin don't hesitate to do it because the currency needs more awareness and adoption.

First off, your survey – eye-opening! Like discovering barely half your buddies know what a latte is. Crazy, right? How then can we get everyone to use Bitcoin? To make it as normal as our morning coffee.

Social media is like a voice for us online. So, lets take it to a personal level. Tell tales like "My First Bitcoin Purchase" or "How Bitcoin Made Me Rich". It is not about using academic terms; it is about getting to know each other as people. And guess what? People love stories. They stay with you like that song you cant stop thinking about.

Now we'll talk about Bitcoin swag. Yes, cups and shirts. They make people want to talk. "Hey, whats that cool logo?" your friend might ask. You've got them hooked. And teaching those who are interested? Keep it simple and easy to understand. Wherever you live, Bitcoin is a lifestyle, not simply a currency.

This is the big mistake a lot of people have made in the past when inviting people into bitcoin. They get so excited to let people know about it and immediately tell them how juicy it is without telling the proper steps to follow I order to not fall victim of loss or any negative consequences in the market. How profitable bitcoin investment can be should be the last you should let a new person know after you’ve tell them how good the investment is, the pros and cons and what they stand to gain in the future after investing in it. Some people get carried away that privacy and security which is suppose to be the first thing to know about in bitcoin investment is neglected. No matter how good the offer is after the long investment, you should prioritize securing your funds first.

First we have to observe their willingness and interests with Bitcoin. We are just making sure our effort won't be wasted. After that we have to teach them the Bitcoin basics. Giving them the idea on how Bitcoin works will be one that we should consider because of it's importance in the long run.

Bitcoin promotion is good but should be done steps by steps or easy to understand specially to those people who has no technical know how. Billboards, flyers, leaflets, seminars and also we can promote Bitcoin through fashion.

Just do your thing, don't encourage people wait for them to ask you about Bitcoin.

I understand that this post is quite lengthy, but I would advice that you read through and get proper knowledge of my message. You are clearly responding to a direct way of promoting Bitcoin which i didn't specify, but i gave two indirect ways which does not require you approaching anyone.
Please do well to read the post and maybe ask questions for more clarity.

Promoting BTC to non-coiners is kinda dangerous, I don't think you need to push people. Only if they ask you to explain to them how to buy it or stuff like that.

Introduction
In our today world, promotion has been a key contributor to the major success of almost everything that are on a verge to fulfillment. In other words, we can say that promotion has been the back-bone of several break-through. Whether direct or indirect promotion, it certainly have a way of raising curiosity that helps to attract large audience. We've seen it's effect on goods and services, music and movies, politics, etc. It sounds more true when we take a look at our place of residence and realize that almost everything we see went through a stage of promotion, from our home appliances to cooking utensils.

This is quite unclear in the case of Bitcoin. Some crypto ethusiast don't think that there is a neccesity in promoting Bitcoin, while others think Bitcoin promotion is very vital and should be encouraged. Sadly, the internet space has manipulated us in thinking that more than 50% of the world uses Bitcoin so therefore there is no need in promoting it. This sounds true, but we've failed to realize that the internet space is a cycle that holds a certain group of people with same ideology that differs from the ideology of those who don't use the internet.

I did a quick survey just around my environment. My survey was ideally meant to figure out those who have heard about Bitcoin and might possibly be a user in the future. I could easily draw my conclusion considering the fact that i know these people well. It turned out that 18/26 men, 25/31 women and 16/27 youths might not use Bitcoin in the future. My conclusions were based on internet illiteracy, ignorance, age, etc.

Ideally, the above factors shouldn't be a problem only if we find ways to raise the curiosity of a none Bitcoin ethusiast. We don't raise their curiosity by telling them the benefits that Bitcoin offers. We raise their curiosity by putting them in a situation where they will be force to ask what the BTC logo stands for.

Ways we can promote the use of bitcoin as individuals
The purpose of using this two methods helps to raise the curiosity of none Bitcoin ethusiast(NBE). These two methods are clearly indirect ways of promoting Bitcoin

1. Social media
Social media has been a huge contributor to Bitcoin. Current Information keeps running every seconds which keeps the Bitcoin community updated. The regular/consistent posting of Bitcoin related matters on a personal social space is a great way of getting the attention of others. In a space of one year, your neighbour who happens to be a friend on your social space would be force to ask about the BTC logo.

2. Our physical items
This is also a superb way of raising the curiosity of a none Bitcoin ethusiast. When Items like shirts, cups, stickers, etc contains Bitcoin logo, and it's present in major parts of your house/environment, it would certainly raise questions from the people around. Sometimes, it might happen that the none Bitcoin ethusiast isn't the social type, but when he/she continues to see something that isn't familiar, then curiosity is certain.

How do we educate those that are ready to learn?
Ideally, educating people about btc is also a way of promoting it. While educating, over exaggeration of profits should be exempted. This feels very exciting to do, but it shouldn't be encouraged. We must consider two aspect of discussion based on the criteria on ground. If the person who is willing to learn lives in a rural area, then Bitcoin investment should be fitting topic, but if the person happens to live in an urban region, then p2p and investment should be well discussed.

Urban areas is usually associated with certain commercial businesses that accepts btc as mode of payment, unlike rural areas where it is not common.

In conclusion
The promotion of Bitcoin should be strongly encouraged among Bitcoin community individuals. This would certainly help Bitcoin get to the grass root, both in rural and urban regions. These are clearly my opinion.
What do you guys think about Bitcoin promotion and other ways we can promote Bitcoin in our community?.
