I would let them google Bitcoin and let them learn that way, it's the easiest approach.  Grin

But sometimes newbie need  ask to someone senior by face to face . If only read from Google, i think it is not enough

For newbies to understand bitmain try to explain the concept. Miners generating the coins (inflation which is normal for a currency).
The moment they understand bitcoins are not generated on the fly but cost money, they will understand it's not free money like some people say.

From there the step to accuring bitcoins will be more easy.
How can bitcoin need money? I think bitcoin does not require money, we just berkumentar for the signature campaign, finesse to sell services to be able to get bitcoin.
Then you need the money according to what? I have not understood

Tell them it´s a digital currency.
Some people will be quite confused if tell them like that, showing them how to use bitcoin they will much like it..
Preseting bitcoin as technology first than only as currency could be good option to try.
That could be good option to try, telling people somehow is kinda hard thing .

Take the btc paper, and give to read. Some times could be the best answer to all doubts.

"If you don't understand how it works doesn't mean it doesn't work!"

Something like this, but stop joking
Make a brief summary of what you think btc could improve...
like "privacy", "banking system" and so on... I think every one of us noted a peculiarity on btc itself and know what can make the difference, and could help the "common user

Nah, i think it's the worst way to introduce bitcoin to newbies. google will take a bit time to understand what is bitcoin and etc. i think the best way is just talk head to head about bitcoin.
Yes you are right information in google is not 100% accurate because not all the information on Google considers that bitcoin is good. Better straight talk face to face because in addition to easy also beginners can directly ask him what he does not understand bitcoin

Yeah when it comes to bitcoins it is very technical and google cannot take care of it for sure, we need to explain them practically then only they would understand the concept of bitcoins and that is the only right thing to do with the newbies or else they won't entertain bitcoins, as they would find it really difficult at the initial stage, so its better we teach them step by step.
Yes you are completely ineffective if know bitcoin through google for information on the Internet is uncertain. if you want to know bitcoin should be face to face / taught directly. And I think everything on this forum know bitcoin from each as my friend, too

I think the best way to learn them is to explain your process. Meaning how you learned about bitcoin.
For me it was by a giveaway where I participated. Then i started googling it.

If those newbies is all the time at home tell them to do Faucets with just doing some of it he or she can earn 50 cent with just clicking. Also tell them with just doing some online job and bitcointalk with signature campaign that you can win a quite a lot of money with it.

Everyone is different, some people like technical stuff, others would rather have things explained to them in plain simple English (or other languages  Tongue ). But I think the most important thing is for you to be genuinely interested in Bitcoin first. If you are then I think finding the best way to explain it to others should come naturally. If you yourself have never cared enough to really learn about it then explaining it to others is going to be impossible.

That's some good advice. Everyone is indeed different and not everyone will understand the technical stuff around bitcoin. It's best to keep it as simple as you can.

If they show that they are interested, they will come back to you and ask you questions as well.

As long as they are interested, you should be okay. If they are not, then it gets harder to explain, don't push it too much though.

Try to show amaze them first... buy a cellphone load then tell them what you've used to pay... if they ask how you did that, explain how you got the bitcoin, tell something about the faucets, and that they are now left behind as they don't know bitcoin... Smiley

lol, if you ever buy a cell phone through Bitcoin faucets, I feel bad for you because you've probably wasted a year of your life with something you could've afforded easily with a job. Bitcoin isn't magic free money... It's amazing how many times you have to explain this to people, and I explain that when I'm talking about Bitcoin with people who don't know how it works.

Honestly there are a lot of people who are concerned about me paying for my bitcoins, because it's nothing that you can have that's tangible... When in all reality, it's no more tangible than the money they have in their checking accounts and they can monitor them on their bank statements.


nope, just a correction, not a cellphone... hahaha... it was a cellphone load. a mobile load which only costs lower than 1$ in my country....  Smiley


Anyway, thank you,  Smiley good vibes..

Lol yeah bad explanation could make people get misleading, they could judge bitcoin bad if you tell and show faucet in their first impression . why? It looks bitcoiner = beggars that collecting a cents and absolutely wasted the time.
Try to make them impressed by other way , like tell them bitcoin is best thing to trade than fiat trade forex , bitcoin market opened 7 days a week .
Bitcoin is the best option to invest your money in long or short term because of it's fluctuations etc or something good that make bitcoin image awesome.
Basically people will be happy with anything because he was interested and wanted to try.
Make him interested in trying bitcoin first if it has been interested for sure they will want to try
