I think that a Bitcoin meeting well advertised in a big a city or even an average one (between 10 000 and 50 000 persons) is the best way to promote Bitcoin.

Here We most of the people does not reveal about bitcoin to others because we don’t want others earn by bitcoins. This is a true fact. To change this We can spread through Facebook, twitter and some more about bitcoin and its uses. Automatically all will come know about it.

Yes, advertising all over social media is by far the best way to raise awareness. Maybe we can all come together and pay for some advertising ??

Only advertisement would not serve the purpose as people would not trust it unless we introduce them personally to bitcoins, as people have more faith in people around them who are already into bitcoins, as it is said that mouth publicity is the biggest publicity and people would have more faith on the word shared by their peers or family so I believe that personal guidance can make a great level of difference in promoting bitcoins on a larger scale.

Bitcointalk forum is spread a lot the bitcoin, because for many keywords it is listed in the first page.
Or mostly in the first top 3 in google, another way are bitcoin startups which could spread very efficiently.

We can spread bitcoin effectively just by continuously buying, using or selling it. As I read, half amount of the available bitcoin as of now belongs to like 10 to 20 individuals/organizations and other half amount are those circulating in the market around the world. If these individuals/organizations suddenly dump their bitcoins then it might be very bad for bitcoin price. To cut it short, one should not hoard a huge amount of bitcoin, it should continuously circulate in the market to be spread effectively.

yes one reason bitcoin continue to exist is continue to use it for buy and sell, the demand of bitcoin will always to be fulfilled, what if I hoard a lot of bitcoin?

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 got that,effective or not deploy bitcoin depending on where and what method you use to do a demonstration or introduction, if you do it in an office environment, you probably do not need to hold a giveaway, but if you do it in high school or college, giveaway will greatly help those interested in bitcoin.

i think all those things, adoption, stability, usage, promotion, are tied together, and you can consider them one single thing, one will make another one being true

so the querstion is, what is the first on which we should work on? adoption is the last stage clearly, usage is a consequence of it, stability to, promotion is a thing that you can not really do with money, this is not a brand after all

Not a brand, but it is something...
It's a currency after all, and it actually needs some sort of advertising, whether we put in money or not, even word of mouth advertising would do, but without showing it to everyone, how can we expect it to get adopted by people when everyone's unaware of it???

To spread Bitcoin, we need to advertise it effectively. Even the word of mouth can do big things in spreading bitcoin, but, to spread bitcoin, we need to make it to be more recognized, like making more business accepting bitcoin will help spreading bitcoin very fast and effective.

Very rightly said, as we don't wish that others also should start earning bitcoins and that is the human nature. On one side we wish that adoption level should be higher and on the other hand we don't want that others should earn it, So this mentality should be changed and we should introduced it to our friends and family then only purpose would be served and ultimately its gonna benefit us in the future if the bitcoin users are more.

I think the best way to advertise Bitcoin and spread it easily is talking with our friends, family and relatives about this successful crypto currency and about its success online. Many people don't yet hearing about Bitcoin

I agree, I use Bitcoin in all the stores that accept it, and I still meet employees who don't really know what bitcoin is.
I also offer to accept Bitcoin with a % discount, when selling my own stuff...

When I saw " demonstrations", giving free... I stop to read further. I think bitcoin will do that by itself. We will be witnesses of that rising, like we are now. I believe bitcoin is here for us, to make some thing easier, to make some things more simple. When other people find out about it they will joing, and they will pay to join if it needs, there is no need to give someone bitcoin to come here. Like Chinese proverb says : Give fish to a man and u will feed him for today, learn him hot to fishing and he will have food for the rest of his life.
So its better for people to come here, get involved, and learn how to " fishing".

Give 0.02 BTC for free to people?

I only see them dumping it and people abusing it in all possible ways.

You can look at the history of the Aurora altcoin too.

I think we need more to spread Bitcoin with efficiency

Agreed. But I thing the greatest bottleneck in crypto coins makets are knowlege.

If we talk about "the masses", as Baudrillard would say, people have a hard time using the internet for much more than sending cute pictures via Instagram.

I tried to explain how bitcoin works for some people, but they just can't understand how something "generated out of nowhere" can have any value. They don't understand any fundamentals of economics also, so it's even harder to explain that fiat money also has no physical attachement anymore (since at least 1973, if I'm not mistaken).

So it's pretty complicated to the overall people, and that's the greatest barrier for the popularization of the technology. Start-ups are investing in making it "newbie-accessible", and that's a great work for crypto coin community.

By sharing your experiences in bitcoin to other people.
In that case, they will understand the worth of bitcoin.

In my opinion we should probably get rid of the negativity around bitcoin that it has right now, such as the purchase of drugs, assassination, prostitution etc. etc. on the dark web. That is not good for BTC at all.

Probably need to be on the news headlines a bit more as well, right now all BTC is making news of is the founder Satoshi. We need to promote it more to able to let people actually get engaged and use it.

nooooooooooooooooo

we need to make it more usable before wasting time promoting it

i think all those things, adoption, stability, usage, promotion, are tied together, and you can consider them one single thing, one will make another one being true

I don't get you.

If we don't promote it, no one will know about it, and no one will accept it. Promote it is what we have to do.

We could also encourage retailers to accept bitcoin, and maybe even give discounts for it. Currently, the only people who accept bitcoin that I know are online marketplaces.
