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.

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

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 sceptical 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 was 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.

Introducing bitcoin to local people is really a tough job, because at the beginning people find it very hard to understand as it has only the virtual presence. People who are long term users of cryptocurrencies should start accepting bitcoin into any of the businesses owned. Only through this we can make others participate into bitcoin usage.
If we get the benefits and are sponsored for this work, it's not something I need to complain about but the truth is that we don't get any benefit from this introduction, there is no organization that provides us with a donation, I don't understand why we should do this pointless work. Others will join or use bitcoin, that's their life, and as an individual, I don't care about other people's lives because every morning when I wake up, it's my life, I need to work and make money, introducing bitcoin is not a priority job, people who need to know will automatically come here

Hopefully when bitcoin starts going up in price again people will come back to the space


I agree with this I think most people already know about Bitcoin, like if u dont know under what rock have they been living under?

It has been in the news multiple times, All over youtube, investment brokers, its litterly everywhere.

Most people are very sceptical about Cryptocurrency and don't believe it could work or replace the banks.
They believe in the current system and dont want to risk their money they earned from work in to a unstable currency.

Especially with all the scams and bubble from 2017 they are going to be very cautious with buying Crypto.
They probably just need some time indeed and will start looking at it again when the price will skyrocket and the news starts hyping it up again..

I guess if you want to get local people in to Bitcoin you have to build trust and educate them about Cryptocurrency!

Where I live, this is an impossible task. It is very difficult for us to introduce cryptocurrency to the locals, they don't know too much about the internet and they only know about Fiat. The knowledge of cryptocurrency is very vague and will confuse them. Even a lot of students here still know nothing about cryptocurrencies and they often accuse that this market is a scam and never invest in it, which is really confusing.
Same as here in my country only few knows about crypto thats why it is very difficult to introduce it to them and I think it will take a long time and process because explaining about crypto world to them is very hard most especially most of the people here in my country are very afraid when it comes to investment because a lot of scammers are everywhere her in my country and its very difficult to find who says the truth and who tell lies.

In the previous Halving period, I was still very careful in introducing bitcoin to others, but after being allowed as a legal tender, I became more confident. There is one challenge that I can't do to open their minds, which is to learn while investing directly, their minds are always stuck and still trust more investments in other assets, so I limit communication only to people who truly believe in their decisions for btc only.

I also want to introduce bitcoin to local people, especially in my neighborhood. but it seems that it is not easy, only a few people are willing to get to know Bitcoin technology, even they have bought a bit of Bitcoin for a long-term investment (because they understand the internet and can control computers), most of the others believe more in gold, because according to them , holding gold will be safer than holding bitcoin whose price changes faster.
indeed it is very difficult to introduce bitcoin to people around, especially if they don't know much about the internet world. we need ways to provide information to them, and also sometimes it will be easier if they provide information in the form of our money, then usually they will be more interested in trying bitcoin.
People nowadays already exposed to the internet so I think it'll be easier. People are being scammed often so definitely they know what's the behavior on the internet. It's easy to introduce bitcoin, just start it from blockchain because being technical will make it more understanding for them.

After that, introduce bitcoin and you're right to involve money into this, they'll probably be attracted to BTC.

There are many ways to advertise Bitcoin through various marketing options. But will that be able to bring enough conversion is a big question. It's not like people around the world are not aware of the cryptocurrencies. They are. But they don't know what will be the benefits to get into it.
I guess if the local retailers start accepting crypto, that can bring a better turnover rate. People might start asking questions and if they start asking questions, they will understand it better.
We need to focus on advertising Bitcoin to such retailers instead of directly to the people.

I agree that people should know about bitcoin and blockchain technology. But I'm not sure that we can use bitcoin in our daily lives. How to buy products in the store using bitcoin, if today it costs 6K, and tomorrow it will cost 10K? In any case, we will be dependent on fiat money, even if we decide to switch to bitcoin. Therefore, I’m not quite sure that Bitcoin can be used in everyday life in this way  Undecided

Expect to answer more questions and doubts once you introduce bitcoin to those people who are not really deep in terms of knowledge around internet surface, those local people needs to understand the basics and make sure that you are willing to provide patients in explaining what you've got and the
knowledge that will guide them to embrace this new system.

that would be really tough at first but in time?if we will be having
patience and perseverance?for sure they will understand what we
wanted them to have and that is the future,let us just show them
 what we are getting here and what we are profiting from our
investments ,there might be some risk and downfall but if we are
consistent in our holdings?surely income will be on ours soon.

Meetup and other social gatherings are very key in spreading the technology around the blockchain to local people with the aim of getting it globally accepted. This can be from worship ground, partying together, attending social function just to name a few.

Basically, just live the way with cryptocurrency, in some simple questions we ask them such as asking them if they know crypto, or in stores if they accept it as payment, or in online community or groups if you could possibly make each transaction possible with bitcoin. This is quite effective, because opening up their mind to cryptp will enable them to think about it. Thus, with them havung the initial idea abkut bitcoin will be the reason for them to use it when they badly need to transact globally. In my case, we probably lewrn bitcoin just because we hear our friends getting profits out of it.

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
There are also risks for us if we want to introduce new people in bitcoin, they are prone to losses because of the lack of knowledge. That is why we should explain to them carefully and all of the basic information should be understand them very well. Introducing is simple but encouraging them to adopt is hard and it is should be our focus to increase the demand into bitcoin.
