Making a good blog post article can bring more people using bitcoin, reviewing a bitcoin company service or a hardware wallet can really spread effectively the bitcoin.

Bitcoin itself is already moving forward to get spread around the globe and it can become more widely adopted only by advertising the currency in a positive way.
People should be aware of this currency and be able to use it in their stores as only this use will make them use bitcoins like people use Amazon gift cards and Google play store credits.

making association with music and torrents will make bitcoin more popular
This is really a nice idea brother to spread Bitcoins in association with music and torent will make popular but if we always talk about Bitcoins in a friends groups and in hostels with friend. I am sure it will help a lot.

Signature campaign owners are doing a great job in spreading Bitcoin into a lot of people, but Bitcoin will nature even itself out across a lot of hands because whales will sell a ton of times with every price peak we have. For every 100 dollars we go up, at least a couple big time whales are going to sell out of fear, which means a ton of new different people owning Bitcoin every time that happens.

I 100% agree. By no means should gambling be what is used to introduce BTC to newcomers, this is a dangerous slippery slope.

Gambling may be the right way to make people get involved into bitcoin but we need to insist them to only use the faucet earning and not to go for any investment into gambling until they get more experience in gambling.
Gambling usually provide faucet earning which can be used for gambling and can be turned into big money also, which is good for spreading bitcoin ecosystem.

There are some very good suggestions here.  I was just at work tonight, and I check bitcointalk every now and then.  I told one of my coworkers what a signature campaign is and that I'd joined one, and kind of what bitcoin is all about.  He sounded interested, but he's definitely not a tech geek and I wouldn't expect him to jump on board.  I think people can kind of lead by example, which is what I was trying to do with him.  However, I have a hard time explaining why anyone should exchange their fiat for btc in order to buy something.  For the average Joe Blow there's just no reason to.

A bit of what I was thinking - there are 10 kinds of people in the world, those that understand binary and those that don't. In several years though when they are in mainstream usage that will not stop those that scoffed at the idea from whinging that prices are too high for them and they do not have any, which is why I am buying mine slowly now Smiley

Education is the most important.  Having informative resources in the form of websites and apps would be ideal.  There are many great information sites out there so you could simply tell those you know to check out certain websites to read and educate themselves

Giving out a small amount of bitcoin so people could practice with a wallet, exchange, and vault would be helpful but maybe not 0.02. 

Mainstream press is not something we can control but something that will certainly help in the future.

I think the best way that Bitcoin can be spread is by doing public demonstrations, and giving free BTC small amounts around 0.02 to those who take an interest.

The only people who could do this is the ones who brought when the price was incredibly cheap and are now BTC rich, this will be a great way to give back to the community and intern help raise BTC popularity and usage and of course making it widespread.

This is demonstrated beautifully in this documentary : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8zKuoqZLyKg

How do you feel we as a community should raise bitcoin awareness and how are you helping ?


I agree with spread the bitcoin information or something. but for giving bitcoin around 0.02 it's quite big though, you need sponsor to do that imo. but yeah, i agree for that.

spreading of bitcoin can be done by if most of the online shopping sites start using bitcoin as their payment options because online shopping business is booming in mostly all countrys and nowadays most of the peoples are shopping online, so if they start using bitcoin as payment option they you can see the boom in bitcoin market.

Faucets and alt coin mining are somewhat get into consideration of new people to crypto-currency environments.
Because both are considered as free money or passive income.

I believe if alt coin mining is more profitable then spreading bitcoin would be more easier. Faucets are later realized as the time consuming which would make people leaving of bitcoin environment.

Effectively? maybe famous people can do it, like for example celebrity. They can encourage a lot from their fans to use bitcoin.

If we target the paypal users or other online payment processor using people then we can easily achieve spreading adoption of bitcoin to them.
Because they are already 100% aware of online transactions and they would easily accept bitcoin when considering the advantages of using bitcoin like low transaction fees.


Other than online payment processors, I got two people get into bitcoin environment, by introducing them gambling. Because any gambling sites provide free money to start gambling with them. This freebies are more useful to make people to get involved into bitcoin ecosystem through gambling.

I have explained them the risk and dangers of gambling though.

I believe gambling is not the right thing to be introduced into newcomers.
Because they are tend to get addicted to gambling very easily. Getting addicted to gambling is more dangerous
for thier future. Instead of giving them the good thing like bitcoin, we might show them the dangerous gambling.
We must innovate more ways for spreading bitcoin effectively.

Gambling no
But webshops are very good to create awareness.
If people can use it, they will buy it.

Introduce interesting methods of obtaining it, not just providing it for nothing, make someone earn it which involves Bitcoin or Blockchain technology, aka only those bothered to learn about it will be rewarded.

the best and the most simple would be to pay your employees with bitcoin at their job, instead of fiat but it also mean heavily regulated bitcoin and no anonimity anymore

Then they'd just convert the btcs to fiat almost instantaneously. Lets face it, spreading BTCBTCBTCs like we want it here is close to impossible. IMO bitcoin tech should work in the background, like TCP/IP and VoIP. We're not aware but we use it everyday.

This is not the ultimate Bitcoin goal. The true point of Bitcoin is the fact that it's money itself, that's what makes it special. As a payment network, it can also be superior if we scale thought the LN to global levels, but that's not the main point, which again, it's the fact that Bitcoin can make the goverment issued currencies obsolete.
