I stand on the side of the highway and scream angrily at the cars as they drive by.
I don't think it's the screaming so much as my soiled tighty whitey underwear that has been holding me back
Topic: How are you spreading the word about bitcoins? - page 2. (Read 4345 times)
Telling all my friends at school especially!
Yeah, I thought about that. Highschools are probably the biggest breeding ground for bitcoin. Trading for stuff, talking about mining, etc.
I'm not in fear about this, Bitcoin is inevitable.
here spreading this word bitcoins is very difficult and need more time because we are trying to survive here for many things
Survival is more important. What is the danger there?
many danger terrorism no electricity no water for all no job even for daily food and someone like me if working here many questions rising some saying scam and cheat now trying to understand first what is this all then can do this spreading for bitcoins
I made a Facebook group, if you are on Facebook please join and add friends 
https://www.facebook.com/groups/BitCoinNews/
I share the price of Bitcoin there every once in a while, I used to do it 1 or more times a day. I should start keeping up again.

I gave up spreading word about bitcoins. Every time I try to start, I know there will be 20 + questions to come or at least an hour of explaining to do.
I've given a few bitcoins out here and there in pre-loaded wallets. Talked about it to more than a handful of people. Most people scratch their heads, though...

See my idea here. You gonna love it.
It answers how i am spreading the word about bitcoins and how to gift people
WE did an expo about bitcoins as well and introduced bitcoin to 500+ people. Pics are here on this page http://www.coinmonk.com/coins.php
These are not yet for sale though. Still waiting for final packaging material. Each package would cost about 4-5 USD or so at the end and sold in packs of 10.

Thats just awesome to get people into bitcoins like that! And the coin also looks pretty damn good.

I personally have started posting about bitcoins on facebook and also do sometimes talk about it amongst friends.
I also recently invested in just-dice and plan to get all my friends who do get involved with bitcoins to invest in the site.
What other methods are people using to spread the word about bitcoins? Please share as Id like more inspiration on how I can go about affecting as many people as possible to buy into the concept of bitcoins.
Tshirts? car stickers? etc
Please share.
hello alexout,
of course i do. some weeks ago i noticed, that in several big forum in my country there was not a single topic about bitcoin. they talk about everything, but no word about bitcoin. also in a tech-forum
. so i decided to do some "infotainment" and try to spread the word ;-)
@dashingriddler

giving gifts, e.g. 200 mBTC, especially to young people for high school graduation or birthdays
In what form are you giving away mBits as gifts? I haven't found a good method to print out a bitcoin gift card that I can give people.
I created the ones I gave away manually; not too tough.
I used this template http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/templates/gift-certificates-bright-design-3-per-page-TC104029169.aspx but any will do and added an image, e.g. http://www.adafruit.com/adablog/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Bitcoin.jpg. I created a wallet on https://blockchain.info/wallet/new, sent the 200 mBTC to it and copied the QR code onto the gift certificate too. I entered, for example, "200 mBTC = $25.00 on May 19, 2013" on the line and filled in the To: and From: fields. Print on nice card stock, cut and put inside a greetings card and envelope. After I gave the envelop to the recipient I explained about Bitcoin and provided the access instructions to their wallet. Voilà.
I've started a meetup https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/brisbane-australia-meetup-sept-19-251547
And in my circle of friends, I pay people back in bitcoins. Like when the group of friends goes out for lunch, there is always someone that wants to pay on their credit card and collect $ off everyone.
Little things like that I try pay back with bitcoins.

I wrote a book specifically meant to get people excited about bitcoins and I give away copies to people who are interested.
The physical bitcoin is BY FAR the best way to get people interested though. I recently showed one of my physical bitcoins to a 70+ year old woman, with very little computer/tech knowledge, and she said,
"I don't know what it is, exactly, but I'd like to buy one!"
Never underestimate the power of a shiny object to draw people in. Bitcoins are a bit too complex for the average person to fully understand, but everyone knows instinctively that shiny golden object = good.

It would be awesome if I could print a handful of biz card sized .05 bitcoin gift cards which have a URL to a wallet like blockchain.info as well as an awesome intro into bitcoin complete with links to where to purchase stuff with it.
