Tbh I don't see the point...Firstly it might be so hard, some people, especially older ones aren't interested in such technology, I bet that some of them even
don't understand how bank transfers work. Cryptocurrencies are complicated stuff, not for all people, it doesn't make sense to introduce it by force

There's no need to introduce bitcoin by force, as others are really not interested in crypto. Some may have interest and some doesn't want to be involved in bitcoin. In me I just introduce to my closest friends and love ones about bitcoin then they become interested and want to learn more. We cannot please others to know bitcoin as long you do your part to spread awareness about it if other people do not want it to let them be.

Social media is the biggest platform through which you can create awareness about it among people. Introducing it at local stores where people can made payments through it would also be a great idea. Similarly, we can attract people by introducing different celebrities who invest in crypto market. As people are more attracted toward the activities their role models do, they will start investing by following their favorite personality.

The biggest problem that keeps me from bringing Bitcoin in my local area to new people is that bitcoin is not governed by law. Many beginners would think of bitcoin as fraud, as there are so many projects that use bitcoin's popularity to cheat others. I believe there has to be some time passed with bitcoin becoming mainstream for example being adopted in shops etc. Then I might try spreading the word

How we can bring bitcoin to local people is to begin by educating them to know that there is a digital currency used for trading, investment, and other purposes. We will make them aware that Bitcoin is a digital currency that uses technology from Blockchain. When we introduce bitcoin to them, teaching them how to use smartphones for trading purposes, which can be short-term or long-term trading, will also be useful. Bitcoin's volatility should also be what they're used to, those showing interest can be encouraged to invest in bitcoin for a short-term start-up basis. If their interested in crypto, the expertise in blockchain technology will go a long way

My personal experience tells me that do not introduce btc to general public and if you are so desperate then tell to some IT guy only. General public loves when they hear their money can be increased so fast but they refused or afraid to invest in btc. The big problems is that we have to educate them about their wallet and address concept so it is little frustrating but if we are doing meetup or event then it can good way to increase their awareness.

If you can bring them to events about bitcoin or other crypto the awareness will be much higher chances to develop their interest is far better than your own versions of understanding. People who loves to explore and willing to take the risk are the types of people that can easily to talk about this industry. Giving them ideas and allowing them to accompany you to any available demonstrations of this industry.

The easiest way so that other people can be interested in bitcoin, we can start from giveaway or airdrop even bounty to make them interested in using bitcoin. Because most people will be interested if given money for free. This way will be easy to attract them. You can spread it on your social media sites like Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. Usually after that they will ask more deeply about bitcoin.

Would you consider bounty as giving free money? I rather not, because you need to exert effort and time, basically you are working to earn and people doesn't like that if that is the way for us to introduce crypto to them. In addition, airdrops most of the time, aren't really providing money, I've joined allot of airdrops before but only few provides good amount for an airdrops, and still many, have really low value. So to consider, introducing bitcoin to local people is much more effective with the traditional market advertisement by simple showing them bitcoin logo with merch's that we have.

There is nothing free in this market, you need to work to get a few altcoins in this market or you just need to spend your money and invest. I have tried to introduce people to invest in bitcoin and the cryptocurrency market in the past, but they mocked me and said that this market is bullshit and scam. Some time later I directed them to bounty, and of course they joined it because they could make money from it without investing. After a while they also researched on bitcoin and everything in this market. So bounty is definitely a way to make it possible for local people to know this market

One day, I think to myself about how to spreads bitcoin to other people. After I create threads https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/did-you-arrange-a-meet-up-or-make-a-gathering-with-local-bitcoin-community-5191717, I see many of us don't try or don't have time to come into a gathering or make a meetup. So how we can introduce bitcoin to local people in our country if we are not trying to tells them about bitcoin? I know that will related to the regulations in every countries but we can introduce to our close friend so they will spread it into their closest friends too.
~snip~

As I have experienced when I want to introduce Bitcoin to those closest to me, I started by showing half of the benefits of bitcoin trading so he was curious and wanted to learn about it. Until now I often do gatherings for friends who want to know what Bitcoin is. the number continues to grow because the conversation between friends continues.

and sometimes we do social activities like giving help to people in need, together with the community and carrying a banner and uniform T-shirt that says Bitcoin, that's where I meet new people because they are curious about what Bitcoin is.

I'll probably catch a lot of lack for this one, but I strongly believe in Facebook's project Libra token and platform.
I think most of the world uses Facebook or Instagram so having Libra platform could help introduce and educate the masses about cryptocurrencies as a whole/collective. Some say that Facebook is way too big as it is, but I reasonably believe that in order to maximize adoption of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, you have to use a platform that is able to reach many people at once.
Libra will be a Stablecoin, so people hadn't need to worry much about volatility as they do with Bitcoin.
I predict Libra will be successful if the U.S Congress gives the project a solid green light to launch.

Hi, today I met my friend from senior high school. When i told him about bitcoin, he said that he was a victim of bitcoin.
So I asked him, when did he know about bitcoin? He said, he joined to this crypto space when the bitcoin price hit around $14,000. Since then, he never interested anymore with bitcoin.

IMO, no matter how simple/complex you educate people about bitcoin, if it give them bad impression, they will think it is a scam. Mostly when you try to educate conservative people.

So, i think it’s better to educate people about the blockchain even bitcoin is easier to explain.
At least we need to provide proper portion for blockchain explanation.

Bitcoin left an impression here locally when it reached ATH. Scammers took advantage of Bitcoins' popularity back then and established different kinds of investments here and there, with Bitcoin as their main product since they use it to convince people. After a few months, different claims and cases are in the news, and of course Bitcoin as the headline. I've noticed different establishments who use Bitcoin as one of their mode of payment that time but after that, they disappeared. They probably don't want to be associated with Bitcoin anymore since the negativity is everywhere.

Two years ago, it was very easy to convince anyone and join Bitcoin but now, it is not an easy thing to do.

by seeing my success they will ask questions about what I have done, I often get questions like that, because I just stay at home not working but have lots of money.
and here I introduce bitcoin to some friends and the neighbor. I gathered several people who were interested to come to my home like I did a presentation in front of them. I think this method is very easy because people will be surprised if you always stay at home and have a lot of money.

Probably I think the best way to do that is to make Bitcoins a subject in schools on the topic of computer science, and so it can touch all people. And it could also be taught to children from their early lives, and they could also tell their parents. At the same time, you should remember that you can tell your family members about it first and then talk about telling someone else because it all begins with your family. Try to tell your elders how important it is, and then you can have workshops about Bitcoins in your school or university.

Anyone who has little interest in anything related to the internet will have no interest in bitcoin as well. So you're talking about these local people, it depends on the type of people they are. I've tried to tell some people about Bitcoin that I see as local and they're not always interested, just say it's meant for us computer geeks. Such types of people I'm talking about are those who concentrate on the mainstream society and have no interest in computer and online stuff, and they can hardly be persuaded.

And if this is succeed, I think cryptocurrency will grow step by step. I know we can spread bitcoin online, but that doesn't mean all people in your country are aware of bitcoin. How they can know bitcoin if they never use the internet to search the news while we can tell them about bitcoin and another coin by offline.

i think it will difficult if people haven't own desire to learn bitcoin because only introduce bitcoin to people and people not use bitcoin is does not mean
so if you want many people to know and learn bitcoin, the first thing to do is make people to interest with bitcoin, tell them what is bitcoin how to use and let them search information by their self.

A good way to introduce people to Bitcoin is by telling them the origin of money and how exchange of value takes place in our current economy.

it will not help much, because when we do a comparison between FIAT and bitcoin on people who are still doing the traditional way it will be difficult. You should prefer the people you want to introduce to the crypto industry, at least they know about the growth of technology and also understand the internet.

This is true because not all the people are open when it comes to this topics. Some other people thinks negatively when you open topics like this because in some people when they heard bitcoin it is all about scam without thinking its benefits and advantages because they lack knowledge about it. But when they see proofs of earnings from different users, eventually maybe they will change their minds and perspective about bitcoin and cryptocurrency.

I think the biggest problem is how we get their trust in Bitcoin because there are many different ways of implementing it based on previous comments. In my own experience, after a couple of weeks, most of the people I spoke to either forgot about Bitcoin because they're not involved or perhaps they're still skeptical about cryptocurrencies. We have to constantly remind them why bitcoin is the best thing ever.

Well, just tell them where and how they can use it. Most of the people I knew were interested in it when I say that it can be profitable in the future. Though it is sometimes very annoying when they have a lot of repeating questions so I just usually tell them to search it themselves. When I said I can pay bills online with it, as far as I know, they bought some.

There are actually lots of things you can say that will encourage them or to introduce bitcoin to them. You can actually use social media for you to give information to them since there are lots of people using social media and data can be sent with a blink of an eye, you can introduce it to large amount of people. You should say good things they can earn and learn when they use or buy bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency like altcoins. You can say that bitcoin can be an investment for them and will help them to earn but they need to be more informative first for them to reach their goal so that they can prevent scams.
