Topic: How we can introduce bitcoin to local people - page 15. (Read 2778 times)

I totally agree, it is easy to convince people who can see what are the benefits that bitcoin made to your life. In our place it is very hard to convince or educate people about bitcoin because they will think it is a scam so what I did was I introduced it to a close friend of mine and let them see me change my lifestyle because of bitcoin and they are the ones who asked how did I do it and that's the time I explained it in a deeper level and now they are one happy investors like me.

The easiest way to invite people is to live by example, when I was starting out here when I try to tell them about Bitcoin and Blockchain they thought that I was inviting them to a Ponzi scheme, but after they saw that I am making progress in my life materially and they see through the many media news and Videos I've sent them, they finally realized how this technology can help them, you don't have to tell them they will eventually catch up because it's now becoming everywhere.

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.

There are many ways we can introduce Bitcoin and cryptocurrency to the local scene. However, all activities are commanding for some budget so since we never have some sources of revenues, we are doing things on a volunteer basis and therefore our reach can be limited. Unlike what multinationals with millions of money at their disposal. Being a decentralized network it means that Bitcoin is mostly spread from the word of mouth, mention in the mainstream media and of course our usual social media posts. I am suggesting some ways below we can be of help in the mission of spreading awareness and hopefully adoption of Bitcoin.

1 - We can organize a local talk event (similar to TED) all for introducing the advantages and benefits of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency where the details of the technology and the kind of impact that it can have especially in the future are going to be discussed. This can be called as "The Bitcoin In Focus: Why This is Your Future" for marketing purposes.

2 - We can sponsor local sports and entertainment events where Bitcoin should be at the limelight as the primary sponsor, among others. This can be attracting many people and one must be given a space to talk about Bitcoin and the kind of value it is presenting to the people.

3 - Whenever there is a gathering of our families, friends and neighborhood, we can invite ourselves so we can also be presenting to them close to us why there is that need for them to be a part of the Bitcoin bandwagon and platform.

4 - Youth people who have an inclination towards technology and business can be organized as "Bitcoin Youth Club" where they can talk regularly on cryptocurrency, entrepreneurship and the many new developments in the marketplace.

5 - The many "young once" can also be a good target for Bitcoin since they now have the money and the influence that can help spread the energy and enthusiasm to other people. Seniors will always have a good place in the cryptocurrency movement.

Looking at these suggestions, I myself realized that it must not be really easy promoting something like Bitcoin. And one of the many reasons why up to now we still lack the level of adoption that we need is because we are not actually actively campaigning for Bitcoin and there is no group with some money who can do the thing for us.

I know many people talk about helpings the community and all but really no one here wants to popularize Bitcoin at no return. Actually the problem is that even if these are political rallies all of them are paid. Most of the people don't like to do charity when it comes to anything except religion. So we must find out ways which require people doing less efforts and advertise bitcoin both at the same time.

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.

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.

when every country uses blockchain technology every level of society will recognize bitcoin, just a matter of time.

I don't think we need to be bothered telling people about bitcoin, because bitcoin will be recognized by itself,

Actually I've tried to tell people around me about bitcoin. But the results are not what I imagined. Almost everyone thinks
negatively about bitcoin, people around me consider investing in bitcoin as playing money games. Maybe in my country
bitcoin has not been much discussed in the mass media, so ordinary people have not been able to accept bitcoin with an
open mind. In the end I gave up on introducing bitcoin to people around me. Indeed effective way introducing bitcoin to
local people must have a role from the government. For example, like China where the president supports the blockchain.
Many Chinese investors are investing in bitcoin. And make the price of bitcoin go up.

I am not sure if organizing free public lectures will be possible for everyone because there are still so many countries which are hostile towards bitcoin I rather prefer introducing it to my friends and families gradually they would do the same. 

For me, consistently talking and organizing free public lecturers about Bitcoin has helped me greatly in introducing cryptocurrency to local people. But, I'll advice that while you're at it, be sure to let them know about the volatility and uncertainties that comes with investing in bitcoins. That way no one blames you when price goes south.

And I hate to say it, but it's like what cigarette companies used to do.  They would advertise to kids so that they'd have a whole new generation of smokers.  Bitcoin is nothing like a cigarette, but I think the principle is the same and that teaching kids about bitcoin might be *the* best way of ensuring its survival.
