Nice step you took to be with the old people to discuss bitcoin, you did well but why are they just reluctant and feeling unconcern,maybe they are not understanding what you are saying,since there is no learning or writing materials which they were suppose to use to keep them busy. This is a poor method of teaching bitcoin,you would have motivated them by standing and showing them some pictures of bitcoin.

The learning method is boring, only a theory is said with unclear intonation. If teaching only includes words of understanding, those who start listening will feel bored and they may not even understand what is being taught. There should be a better teaching system with theory as well as practice, concise and clear. otherwise, the introduction of bitcoin would have been in vain.
I would also feel bored sitting in that room for a few hours just listening to stories I can't understand. OP needs to be more creative in raising awareness about bitcoin.

First of all congratulations and good luck for future engagement with bitcoin tutoring. Secondly, bitcoin should be treated as general currency which will make its adoption faster to genen real public. If we try to portray it something out of this world then it may happen that people won’t be accepting it right away. New comers should be taught with step by step information regarding bitcoin which will give space to digest everything and process everything with high case usage. Hope you continue to do this and make bitcoin better place.

I am not discouraging you or criticizing you but I need to tell you the truth,next time be looking more like a teacher and act like one,I know that it isn't easy to talk to people about bitcoin. Old and young people needs bitcoin awareness not only the young. From 45yrs down can learn about it and invest in bitcoin,moreover all the whales are within 30yrs of age to 50yrs.

Do you think it will be possible for these business people to welcome this new idea and implement it in their business ? Wouldn't it look crazy to them ?

It depends on your country and the legality of bitcoin.
If your country and its government legalize the adoption of bitcoin as legal tender then surely your move to spread the word about bitcoin will impact some of your audience. But if it's the other way around, they should probably think twice before adopting.

But for personal matters, they may not need to announce that they have used bitcoin to pay customers or process foreign payments even if bitcoin is not legal as means of payment in your country.

True, it all depends on the government of the country whether it gives legal permission for Bitcoin to be used as legal tender or not.
If the country legalizes I don't think it would be a bad idea to publicize Bitcoin's adoption and acceptance as legal tender or tender.
What's more, if there are many crypto fans and users in that country, it will be even easier to spread the news and even the public will welcome it enthusiastically.
It is very different from where my country lives which does not legalize Bitcoin as a legal tender or means of payment, but my country still legalizes Bitcoin and crypto only as investment assets and nothing more.

This is actually great. Information campaigns about bitcoin and how they can make the most out of the technology besides how profitable it could be is more than enough to ensure that a handful of people from your local will switch. It came in great timing too that your Mrs. Sharon came to you asking for advice (I guess) on how she can maximize her profits amidst the high transfer fees and the pressing bylaws that her bank is giving her. What I would highly suggest you include in your seminar, if you haven't yet is how to setup wallets and stuff that would allow them to own and transfer bitcoin so the change is made seamless for them.

I know this work is not easy to do, especially among people who still think that fiat is the main thing they need to meet their daily needs. The target market in disseminating Bitcoin information may be for anyone, but maybe we also need to pay attention to environmental conditions.

I mean, for example, take people with an average monthly income and direct them to be able to invest little by little. So it's not just introducing Bitcoin, because a sweet explanation is not enough. They may hear nice things about investing long-term profits and then getting rich. Is it really that simple? while the long process of twists and turns in facing a bear market to survive in it also needs to be emphasized very well. The sweetness of the bitterness of a fluctuating asset investment is not the same as a stable gold investment.

I've done Bitcoin-related learning a number of times, and what I've learned is that before giving Bitcoin material the questions that should be asked are: What made them interested in Bitcoin? 9 out of 10 people answered "big profits and riches". It turns out that we can't guarantee all of that, with the characteristics and goals of getting rich quickly being the main things I always hear from them.

I really appreciate people who are really eager to educate people regarding cryptocurrency. It's true that it's really difficult to grasp the idea of cryptocurrency at first and even if you've been into crypto for so long it's a continuous learning process. Not everyone has the patience and perseverance to teach newbies about crypto. It will be great if many business owners learn about cryptocurrency and how can it be used in their business. It's true that it's a struggle to transact overseas, but with cryptocurrency, it can be done easier since no third-party is needed.

, as expected, are you from Nigeria OP? Those women outfit is why I asked, older people are the hardest to lecture about crypto and Bitcoin, it's most times a waste of your precious time, I will rather spend my time with I.T students and Youths, they listen and do some digging themselves.

I can only see woman here in the picture and precisely older women , however it's a good thing that you are trying in your own little effort to create more Bitcoin aweness in your area, but I would advise next time you engage more on the younger ones both Gender, because this are the people that will need Bitcoin most in the future and will be able to understand whatever you teach them better.

And too here in some part of Africa, using Nigeria as an example, most women within this age are not that exposed to technology, doesn't even know what is internet and how to operate smart phones.

This is a good move OP. You did well by putting them through on bitcoin but looking at them, do you think they were able to assimilate what you taught them. The ladies are looking elderly and you know elderly women find it difficult to play cool at such when it comes to technology and innovation of such magnitude, they find it difficult to adapt very fast but anyways you have done well OP. I hope you did tell Sharon and the others on the best safe and secured way to store their coin and possibly how to identify their wallets and private keys so as not to get confused when they see it. Telling them about the market will also be good because they would need to know how it works. Nevertheless, OP has done well onboarding new members irrespective of their ages, the to can onboard their children if they can be able to do so.

This is a good move to have awareness on bitcoin and your initiative on doing this is really good but can you also put photos on your lessons? or like how do you give awareness on them like any proofs? As others posted like a whiteboard with Bitcoin definition all over it since you just take a photo and some sort of just talking things. But again continue doing this (if you are really teaching or spreading awareness) as for sure there are women/business women will try to integrate bitcoin on their business or they want to invest and hold bitcoin

Nice move and kudos to you for contributing you own bit in promoting bitcoin adoption..

But I am particularly concerned with the fact that we can see the faces of the student ,(though their faces are shaded with black marker for privacy reasons obviously) but we cant see the face of the teacher him/herself, or an image of him/her standing while teaching, neither can we even see the blackboard, or papers where your teachings are outlined...

Sorry for being so blunt, but for all i know, this could be women gathering and doing their own thing, you take a picture of them and share it with us here and claim you were teaching them bitcoin, for no other reason but to fish merits - like i said earlier, i am sorry for being so blunt, and maybe i should also apologize for have a different opinion from the others ..
Am open to being proved wrong though.

OP i understand your desirous mind towards bitcoin adoption especially in areas where needed and close to you but let's be professional a little in what we do, you cannot just come up with having a snap on people's pictures we don't know the aim or major purpose for their gathering and assume to be for bitcoin and still yet expecting us all to believe you whereas no any trace or evidence to prove that this indeed is a bitcoin discussion session you're having with the people, nothing showing bitcoin, the settings does not look like a learning ground, no teaching aid materials, nothing than people's pictures sitting in a disorganized manner, common wake up, this is a large and well reputed bitcoin community and we know what people are upto.

There are a lot of fabricated stories these days on bitcointalk just to get Merit, I am not discrediting your efforts if you are really sincere, but this looks looks like one judging from the picture evidence that you provided OP, It is simply not sufficient, there is no enough evidence on the pictures to really proof that you were having a discussion about bitcoins with these women alongside the young boy and girl in the pictures with school uniforms which can easily be spotted just by looking closely.

The women in those pictures look to be waiting for something and not interested in anything else.

For future sake and for others reading this post whenever you trying to make a topic about how you created awareness concerning bitcoin, please be sure to provide enough picture evidence so that we are certain that your story is credible.

I don't think the faces are crossed out enough to be beyond identification if needed, and initially I thought the black lines were some sort of fancy equipment, but other than that, great job, op. It's wonderful that you're helping your local community learn how to use Bitcoin as payment, and it's cool that the audience is women, who tend to be underrepresented in business, in tech, and most likely in Bitcoin usage as well. Adoption of Bitcoin by merchants is important to promote the actual usage of Bitcoin as money, rather than holding or trading. I hope at least some of the businesswomen will get interested and give adoption a shot.

Sure, it will sound crazy at first, but when they understand what Bitcoin really is, they will surely find it fascinating.

In any case, spreading the Bitcoin culture in the local community is important and necessary. At first, you will face some difficulties, but with time all problems will be resolved.

But it will not be so easy, especially if bitcoin is illegal in your country, you should pay attention to this important point because they may cause you a lot of problems in the beginning because it is a new experience for them.

It is good that you alerted them to the dangers of holding bitcoins on centralized exchanges, and it is necessary to alert them to the importance of preserving privacy as well.

I hope you succeed introducing all these retail merchants to bitcoin. There are many potential adopters there, as I can see.

As I understood your bank forbade using credit card for international transactions, so you can't import goods anymore. Then your friend contacted the foreigner supplier and he answered that bitcoin payments are accepted. Is that correct?

If so it's already great news. You just have to make sure this supplier is a trustful businessman, but to import goods through Bitcoin can be a great idea and a great way to introduce all those merchants immediately!

Yes you are right,the foreigner has been doing business with her for two years now, but due to the change of bank policy it made it difficult for her to pay through the normal way she do pay him. He is trust worthy as I asked her all these questions. She is with her goods now.

you did the right thing. And I know exactly what kind of difficulty we have when we explain bitcoin to people who are completely new to bitcoin. Sometimes we have to explain with a parable or make an example or illustration so that it is easy to understand.

but one more difficulty that we all sometimes encounter in our daily lives when someone asks about bitcoins. that is, when the person asking is really behind in digital technology knowledge. usually the person is elderly (old).
However, we must explain in a language that is easy to understand. if possible then teach directly with direct practice.

Jokes aside, spreading bitcoin adoption among business owners is a great step. I think now your friends/colleagues now know how bitcoin can affect their daily transactions and how much they can save time, money and effort by using bitcoin. Plus they can avoid some legal issues while making international transactions.
