For me I ask them if they already know cryptocurrencies if not then I have to teach or tell them a short tale of how do I know bitcoin and how do I earning from bitcoin so that I got there attention and they are eager to listen. I give them bitcoin links, presentation and specially I show them my earnings. To be honest I'm not really very good on talking and convincing people but I already have some recruit of my friends to have bitcoin just what I did now. Wink

This is a clever and effective way to introduce bitcoins to newcomers. Firstly, you must make the idea of digital currencies clear in their minds and then what bitcoins are. At last, tell them about how BTC is ruling the crypto currency world and all of its cool features like high level security and huge profits due to its increasing value. To keep them in business, give them temptation of luxurious life. Simple and efficient tactics to persuade people!

The thing about bitcoin and cryptocurencies is that they are easy to understand, so explainng the basic thing for someone who never knew what they are is a pretty strate forward thing, just to give them a general idea and to get them started on it, and the rest they will learn over time as theu progress through it, just like we did.

Yes, but understanding the cryptocurrency field is not as easy. It has many ups and downs and can also give huge looses if not proper strategy used. Many new people will think that it may be scam, etc so trying to show them some whitepapers and some legal announcements will help them to start trusting bitcoins.

Exactly,most people still do not know about bitcoin and have never heard about it.
When i meet someone quite strange,i keep telling about its feature like anonymity, ease, value and volatility. It makes them feel happy learning such portable appropriate curren y

So you just suddenly lecture to a stranger about bitcoins? Like come up to a guy at a bar out of the blue and teach him about bitcoins? That would be creepy as hell dude.

If I would want to spread the word about bitcoins then I would just write about it in blogs or other written ways. This is an easier way to distribute the knowledge faster. Also sharing it on social media is a good approach to spreading the word.

There are a lot of youtube videos on Bitcoin and many of them explain Bitcoin nicely, i try to explain more about technology and the blockchain and how to understand whitepaper.

Understanding whitepapers is important. And also youtube videos will help but be aware of scam videos. Youtube has many scam videos and no doubt some are a good source of information about bitcoins but the remaining videos force me to avoid using youtube as a reference.

You can also introduce many people here to this forum. This forum also provides all possible information about all cryptocurrency including bitcoins.

I will prefer this forum is the best place to learn about any crypto currency. Yes in youtube many scam videos are there, and they will easily scam newcomers. But the thing is how the newcomers will find which video is legit and which is not. So this forum will explain them in detail what is Bitcoins and how it works in the real world and other things about Bitcoin.

So I've been involved in Bitcoin and crypto for about 5 months now and just about everyone I tell about it being friends and family most have never heard of it or the few that have they have no understanding of it so I was just curious into how others explain it all to total newcomers is their a webpage or video you may show for an easy understanding to explain it all ? Whenever I give my explanation it seems to go way over their head Roll Eyes

Cheers

5 months, this is not a long time for you to understand everything about bitcoin, you need more time. Me too, I got to know Bitcoin about 8 months ago, and now it's giving me lots of chances to get rich, but I have not got it yet.

I might make Paypal as an example then upgrade it with bitcoin explanation.
I do think Paypal for them is the most understandable to be as an example since it is just USD input online.
Just stretch everything after that then maybe you could somehow make him or her understand it.
Next would be videos and focus on bitcoin first before trying to explain other crypto currencies or it would just be a waste.

I recently sent this to a newbie.... I like it as its from a science channel and has had over 800K hits so those two things should help instill confidence in someone approaching this for the first time:

We all start from basics don't we? I prefer explaining it in a way everybody we'll be able to understand the fundamentals of wher bitcoin originate, when it started, how it was founded and then I'll start to explain briefly what is bitcoin. Bitcoin is not hard to explain to average people because its just another form of currency which the main difference to any other currencies is it is in the form of digital. Since the millenial generation is greatly involved in the technology industry, I probably doubt it that someone would be troubled explaining what is bitcoin to them.

first you need to be patient when teaching because not all people will easily understand bitcoin. If you want to teach them do it hands on if they were near you. Like we can buy some merchandise in online and by paying up your utility bills for transaction. tell the what is the use of bitcoin

When I showed my friends about bitcoin, it was like teaching them to start learning words again. They are a little bit difficult to get started because the bitcoin concept is not easy to understand for those with inexperienced backgrounds.

You can try showing them some graphical diagrams or graphical videos about the increment in the price for bitcoins. You can also show them some predictions about the price of bitcoin heading at least a minimum of 4000$. It will definitely attract users.

If you don't find this useful, find a good way but always try to attract as many as possible newbies to the bitcoin and crypto field.

The way that I will explain to a completely newcomer about Bitcoin or cryptocurrency is by describing it using the term "Digital Currency". With that, I will further explain how this Digital Currency works. That it is being used for transaction just like a regular currency and has its own rates when it is being converted into cash or currency for an individual's specific country.

When he or she will get the idea of it, then it will be easy to further explain on how Bitcoin can be earned in different ways like joining signature campaigns or use Bitcoin as kind of a investment instrument.

I only show them short video or article which can explain bitcoin/cryptocurrency to newcomers since my i have bad explanation skill. If they're still interested after i show the short video or article, then i might explain some thing such as how/where to spend bitcoin, advantage of using bitcoin, how to buy/earn bitcoin and the risks of using bitcoin.

There are heaps of youtube videos on the subject of Bitcoin and a lot of them explain Bitcoin super well, try to find one with heaps of graphics for them to understand the blockchain and how everything works. Youtube can solve a lot of your problems

After they start understanding how bitcoin works, maybe give them a bit to play with, say 0.01 BTC. If they are into gaming, teach them how Bitcoin can be used to buy them and for trading items in them. Otherwise, show them a couple of stores that accept Bitcoin and help them make their first payment.
