You can show them several articles explaining what bitcoin is, after you showed them what it is set up a wallet for them. You can send them a small amount for them to play around with. This will usually show them what it is. If they still don't know what it is show them some YouTube videos and more articles.

If someone truly wants to learn about Bitcoin, they wouldn't ask you. They would ask the internet as the internet probably explains it much better than you.

Starting from the faucets can be a good thing to gain the interest of the people. Faucet provides quick money and faucets do that task.
One done, people will gain interest in bitcoins as they get free money.

Faucets are a good way to learn about bitcoin transactions, but more important is to learn about bitcoin itself. I rather think Aditya is right since if you want to learn about something you have to research about it.

I don't agree with him, internet can make things complicated if it is described in technical terms, we need to  teach them in a simple way which would be easier to understand.

Yes. That's why I mentioned that if he insisted to teach someone, then he should make a move of encouragement. Tell how BTC help him, why he enjoyed it, share some tricks and techniques on how to earn. As long as the intention is good and just want to help a friend or someone, then it's alright.

All the things that you know about bitcoin tell him/her. You don't need to hide everything and I think it will encourage him if he will hear that word "earn" . That with bitcoins you can earn crypto money that you can convert into real money.
But, practically we do not have time to explain all the things about bitcoin to any new people. We can elaborate some of the opportunities we can get from bitcoin and some of the advantages we can enjoy while using bitcoins systems. I guess these are somewhat enough to get anyone into bitcoins.

It's different for different people. For me, I'd rather ask someone in person about something rather than just on the internet, I mean, after all the explanation on the internet, that's about it.
The thing is, if someone in person is there, and you have a question or a clarification to inquire you can easily bring it up and be cleared on it.

First off you need to explain to them what Bitcoin is and what they can do with it. The Bitcoin.org website has a lot of helpful information about the different aspects of Bitcoin so you could give them a quick tour and answer their questions. Now you have to suggest a Bitcoin wallet to them depending on if they want to use Bitcoin on their cellphones or on their computers. A quick guide on how to send and receive coins and what confirmations are would be helpful as well. And finally you could give them some mbtc to play with in their new shiny wallet.  Wink

tell them to challenge the basic information bitcoin and not to confuse them, and also you should have the answers to what they ask

Yes before teaching someone you should hold a great knowledge of bitcoin, and should be able to answer all their questions, and it is sure that they would come up with so many queries to know bitcoin better.

Whenever I try to teach or recommend bitcoin to the people around me they start laughing and it really brings a sweet smile on my face hoping that  last laugh will be mine.

maybe you are doing it wrong that makes them laugh at you. whenever i talk about bitcoin with others i don't let them laugh because i stick to the facts and don't get into the hype and the dream that many have about bitcoin is going to make them rich by going to the moon.

you should talk about the benefits of bitcoin like fast , secure, cheap, anonymous transactions and stay away from speculating about the price. nobody dares to laugh then.
exactly If you teaching them this everything and even they are not believing then you need to proved it how it is working and how its from earning money because all people are interested to make money.

You may use bitcoins youtube videos..

How simple and interesting enough. But if we teach a person by only using Video, I think it still has a question to the person who we teach. A better way is to conduct a meeting or discuss directly.

The first concept in teaching someone anything is to give them materials & sources (visual sources are better like youtube video) so we should start with any available visual links about bitcoin because it is easy & more attractive than reading, after knowing a little about the coin they should know how to open a new wallet online wallet is perfect in this case and start giving away some coin to try it as a payment .

yeah, at least to teach someone, they should know about the basis, so that we may be easier to teach them.
to know about basically, yes, like you mentioned, they can get it from youtube, google or forum bitcointalk.

yeah I think it's reasonable because people will start laughing because they do not believe and do not believe in your say therefore it would be better if you tell the people around you with evidence that you got

Yes. With proof, we can convince anyone to listen to us for teaching them about bitcoins. In my opinion, bitcoin's growth itself a good evidence to attract them. Bitcoin has achieved some higher prices like $450 from the price of $0.0001. This will attract anyone.

Yes I got your point. Knowing that BTC is having greater value in the market as time goes by, they will be encourage to try. And also it will help if they will be informed that they can use BTC now on some e-commerce sites like TigerDirect and Overstock. Well for me it's really convenient to use in shopping online.

Well you could show them some links or websites which have already been there for that use or you could tell them in a couple of steps
1. Get a wallet to store bitcoins
2. Start getting bitcoins with stuff such as gambling, dice, posting, surveys and much more
3. Continue until you want to cash out
Yes most importantly make sure they advance.
Regardless of the way if they could be sure they are definitely interested in bitcoin.
If it had been interested would have been easier to teach.

You got the point. Teaching someone who is interested to learn will make it easy for you to teach. You can just teach them the basics, and for sure they will search for the advance. As long as they want to know more about BTC, they can learn by themselves as time goes by with minimal guide/supervision by you.

Yeah, it won't be hard if you are going to teach someone who is really interested. But you will get a problem for those who doesn't have the interest but you want to teach about bitcoins.
You much encourage them easily and the suggestions are really fit for it.

Then if they are not interested, why teach them, right? Because I think it's nonsense to teach someone who is not showing curiosity or concern about something. But if you insist, then tell them the advantages of BTC and why you love it. Maybe you can encourage them by doing that. And after, you can guide them step by step.

That's right don't waste your time if there aren't interested either, but I think it is a case to case basis. For example, you really want to teach friend about it and he can't find a real job either. And he isn't aware about cryptocurrency. You can share your knowledge to him about it, go back to the first statement, if you see he shows no interest, don't waste your time.

Yes. That's why I mentioned that if he insisted to teach someone, then he should make a move of encouragement. Tell how BTC help him, why he enjoyed it, share some tricks and techniques on how to earn. As long as the intention is good and just want to help a friend or someone, then it's alright.
