At first, you need to give them an idea of what bitcoin is and how it works. Having a brief discussion is okay, give some example on how to earn. After that, if that someone got really interested, I'm sure he/she will search and learn bitcoin by himself/herself. He/she will invest some time to seek and try different ways on how to earn more and can join/read forums to get some tips and techniques too.

If a person in desperate need of money and if he don't have any other source of income then he will adapt using bitcoin on the spot, as everyone needs money for living.

Exactly and agree.

No need for long and elaborated further teaching all the basics of bitcoin if the person really wants to engaged in bitcoin world. And yes people that like to have some another source of income will really wants the idea of entering this kind of cryptocurrency.

Yes and an individual who is having good job and paying descent salary will not entertain bitcoin much as they won't be able to spend time to work on bitcoin.

When I teach my friend about bitcoin, I just explained it plainly that bitcoin is an online currency that has a value ranging $400-460.
And then he use bitcoin for buying things through it, but he its to exchange it first with bitcoin exchanging sites.

That is like just saying the price of it. It lacks the observation on how it can be profitable or what will I get with that. Your way will make people go away with just one sentence. I guess we really need something that will make them interested in it with just a short conversation.

it is an easy way to teach bitcoin to someone who is in need of something. they would be interested in and learn about bitcoin.
I have taught bitcoin to some of my friends who are in need of money, and they eventually want to learn about bitcoin and this time they were quite good in trade.

I agree proof is the best thing to show them so they may have interested to do bitcoin and teach them slowly by making him indulge in youtube videos it may helpful to them and teach him your method on how you earn your bitcoin daily so he maybe have an idea on where to go and have choices to earn bitcoin

Yeah if you show them the proof of your earnings then it will easily motivate them to start using bitcoin as everyone wants to earn some extra money.

I find videos a good way of teaching people about bitcoin, although the video has to be simple and short to give enough information in the shortest time possible. I had found some on youtube, they are good but nothing excellent yet. I think I have to create one myself if I want it to be to my liking and what I have in mind.

I think it is easier to teach someone about bitcoin.
first you can tell him to look for what it bitcoin at google. then later him would ask about how to get it, then you can explain how to get a good bitcoin, that you've been doing. and it may be a little harder to teach them the ways of getting bitcoin, rather than explain what a bitcoin.

Most people can't understand complex info behind creation of bitcoin so I will not try to explain them in such way.
I will try to explain in the simplest possible way.
Bitcoin is like normal money but it's virtual, exist on Internet and you can buy btc through exchangers, keep it in the wallet and wait for price increase, or sell or buy something.
When they understand this basic, simple facts about bitcoin, i may try to explain more.



Using easy to understand terms and words are the main thing to help people understand how Bitcoin works and what it exactly is.

Forcing people to understand it will not work as you may annoy them and maybe they'll even walk away with a bad impression.

"Mastering Bitcoin" by Andreas M. Antonopoulos .This is an excellent book which I would recommend for every bitcoiner, especially if you would like to know how bitcoin works "under the hood". Technical details have been explained in a great degree of detail in a style that is easy to understand. Even for those who are uninterested in the technical side of bitcoin, it is an excellent introduction to the subject.


Apparently though, only a few care about the technicalities of bitcoin, how bitcoin works, how the bitcoin wallet works, what is a node, what is a block, etc. And also, I don't think newbies will try and take time to read that book. Maybe some of them might, but the majority won't.

Most users are only interested in earning money out of bitcoin. You have to teach them how to make money online not how the technicalities of it work. They don't care about what's happening when there's a transaction when they receive/send money to/from their wallet, they just want they wallet to be secure.

Give some bitcoin related movies YouTube videos and bitcoin tutorials, people interested can easily learn about bitcoin.

I think videos should be simple focusing on the basic things of bitcoin if videos are too technical then I think it will complicate them and also confuse them.

I agree with showing video about bitcoin it might be easier they understand, and also the very unique video with the animation
examples like this : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Um63OQz3bjo

I think people will more easier understand if you teach him/her by yourself, not using video or something. Because if they want ask something, you can explain it more.

it is good if the first time they are shown about bitcoin via video animation, This is good as well when you tell them, that at least he had a little understood after seeing the video.
