I really like this, sharing a little about bitcoin will make many people curious about what bitcoin is how it works and how to get it
with curiosity it will create a small scale mass adoption

I hope they'll just stop being curious about Bitcoin but to have the interest to dig more and understand. Teaching Bitcoin and any crypto-related topics in the class are really challenging in a part that some people have a negative approach and thinking about Bitcoin. But OP makes it and absolutely he has an influential skill that could able to change people's mindset and succeed in what he plans for.

Each person is different and will learn thing at their own rhythm, in my case as soon as I found out that bitcoin existed and I read more about it I convinced myself it was the future and I immediately got in and bought a little bit of bitcoin, but there are many people that need to think things through and be really convinced and there is nothing wrong with that, what we need to avoid is that people come to this market only for the money because most likely they will be scammed and then they will blame bitcoin for it even if they were the ones responsible of falling in that scam.

A nifty bitcoin fork would make an amazing college project. Bet most of them wouldn't understand it though.

Or just a Bitcoin clone from scratch, even from the exact same client that was first fired up (which had poker too, by the way!) and possibly reimagining the way it was first done, like the way Patoshi has been doing to unearth new evidence from the early blocks. Might not make everyone understand it but would certainly have piqued my interest in school!

And no one can claim trademark infringement too lol

That is great, but I think this wasn't a good idea. I mean, the media always spreads how crypto currencies and bitcoin are used for scamming people. Your professor, next time when he sees anything about scamming involving bitcoin or crypto currencies like scam exchange or shit coins, the first thing he is going to remember is you and the example that you gave about freebitco trying to bait people to click on their site. He is going to have a bad impression about bitcoin.
Nevertheless, you did a good job trying to make people aware about crypto currencies.

his prof wont take it seriously but it was only an example because its part of thier class project about deceptive marketing . from the word deceptive means to fool people or something like that . this is different from scamming because its only a kind of marketing to be able to attract people . people can still expect to get something in return upon trying the offer like for example on freebitco , you can really won a 200 dollar from thier free faucet it you are verry lucky because the chance is only small .

Perhaps, it may and may not be deceptive at all, since it is a gambling site, there's really a possibility for it to happen. But let's not dig deeper into that, I would like to congratulate you to have the courage to talk about bitcoin in your class as it was really hard especially if they will ask you too many question about it. But what is important is that, you have opened up their curiosity to what bitcoin is, so anytime, they will search for it and might bought some.

There's limitless opportunites on how we can share bitcoin knowledge to everyone, even with our outfits, bitcoin logo could help allot.

A good place to start introducing bitcoin even though there are a few gimmicks but it can finally explain about bitcoin. I have had a lot of experience with bitcoin since several years ago and have also succeeded in sharing knowledge with my friends on social media and also to residents around my home. Now they have succeeded in making money from bitcoin and that is a pride for me.

In addition to this I believe its a good idea to dig into the practical aspect of using Bitcoin after being taught about it, practical aspect of opening a wallet, learning how to send the coin and how to receive it, this will go a long way in helping newbies to grasp the whole concept or benefit of using Bitcoin and practice makes perfect.
The OP had really imparted some knowledge to the class its now left for the student involved in the session to dig further by putting those lessons into reality by practicing it further and he should also try and erase the impression of some classmates who might have link bitcoin to scam or being used by some scrupulous individuals to perpetuate criminal activities.

lots of people assume it’s a kind of scam and nest for dangerous and criminal activities.

All things have some good and bad side. Yeah, there are some people who use bitcoin for various criminal activities. Again, many people lost their BTC for scams. But there are many good sides of BTC. We can sell bitcoin without divulging any sensitive financial information, bitcoin has no risk of inflation and the most useful and important things is, its transaction fee is lower than any other digital money or credit/debit card.

lol that's a sly way of getting people to know what bitcoin is. About the shady advertising, there'll unfortunately be a lot of it, but that's part and parcel of businesses looking to ride a trend and make a quick buck. Long term it's always honest communication that builds trust and business.

Each of us here spread the word in some way. I speak about bitcoin with people who are interested to hear about it, and I like to discuss about bitcoin with them. In most cases its me talking and they listen and ask questions, most of the questions are simple ones with negative context. I am only among my close friends that is active with crypto, I had numerous discussions with them and even after 5 years they don't fully understand what I talk about, and often happens that I repeat some things over and over again because they can't remember even simple stuff. Well I'm no discouraged, I will keep trying to share the story as long as people are willing to spend some time listening, and if they wish to get more involved they will have my help.

Bitcoin = Financial freedom

I really appreciate your effort, but for anyone to understand about bitcoin it is important to give basic knowledge about blockchain.Better teach them on other ways than for earning purpose or else more people will get trapped for the scams which is quite common in recent times.

I really appreciate the OP's actions and one proof of their concern for bitcoin with the aim that many people get to know bitcoin and at least promote it to the people around or people we often meet.
indeed at first it is not as easy as expected because it will confuse them and need patience, but gradually they will realize and understand because bitcoin will benefit them.

Great there's nothing wrong in sharing Bitcoin to anyone as long as they don't missed it for some kind of scam lately I've been hearing some news that there's a lot of
fake groups trying to deceive people that's lack of knowledge about Bitcoin and saying that it is a form of investment and they will gain a fixed amount of profit and scam them
I hope you share to them what Bitcoin really is and how does it work.

ya.ya.yo!

I consider you brave enough because you had a discussion about Bitcoin with your teacher and friends in the class. I did the same thing, but outside the classroom with the people of my town, but they refuse to accept the issue, I don’t know if I could succeed again.

glad to hear your this story...
being able to explain 'what is Bitcoin' is not easy, especially to those who just heard, Bitcoin automatically sounds strange to them. I am sure you will explain accurately about Bitcoin in that online class.

I think it’s really nice for us to impart what we know to other people, so they won’t be ignorant of things. It would be great if each member in our growing community spread bitcoin awareness from time to time, even if it’s just on some brief conversation with colleagues, peers, classmates, and workmates. In this way, we can help them understand what we are doing and what are the benefits of bitcoin to their chosen career/path. By doing this, we can also help our crypto community to become bigger and widely known.

I really respect what the OP did. This is what I do too, I talk to my friends and family about bitcoin. But I would never push them to learn it. I would always warn them about bitcoin scams, because they are prone to it. Bitcoin scams are now all around the social media, some will DM you and there are a lot of spam comments too. They deserve to know what to believe and what to ignore.

Somehow they are getting informed about the bitcoin too, I'm trying to tell that there are a lot of people doing btc scams and they are thankful for it. Once they ask more about the technology, I'll try to explain it in the most simple way. I share how I'm earning with it and how it help me. Once they understand how it works it will be easier for them to visualize it.
