Bitcoin really is a popular subject for a thesis in economics and finances, even math. They must have been living under a rock for the last few years Wink

There are still many people in my country who didn't know bitcoin even those who are doing business or in finance industry didn't considered crypto as a investment or form of money due to it's volatility and fears that it will be no good for long term plans. Only those who are risk taker or probably have time or curious to know it will find way to study it. Or maybe good marketing can get their attention like OP did. It's nice that the teacher got curious,it will also get the attention of other students to adopt or atleast try buying bitcoin.

I'm glad to see that this was received well and with little skepticism.

As from my experience when I try to tell people about it I get 2 kinds of people, people who look the other way and remain stubborn at their own ignorance and the other people who genuinely look interested and want to learn, some which even consider buying.

I'm always pleased when people are open to learning new concepts and embrace knowledge generally! Glad you had such a positive experience.

It's interesting that your teachers did not know about it.

Anyway, good job on getting them engaged and spreading the word!

It's rare. That's great.
Most won't have the courage to do it.
Just use normal things to share which normal people do. (As they say it)

Being different is something great and only a few know that. Now you shared to them something new and different and I bet they are now browsing their way to google and there may be odds one of your classmates is signing up in this forum right now. Grin

Well done - hopefully your short explanation of what Bitcoin is wasn't Deceptive Advertising Tongue

While it feels great to explain blockchain or Bitcoin stuff to people, I kinda feel exhausted especially as it's still hard to have people understand what you're talking about. On the other hand, what is truly surprising is that a high percentage of the people I talk with about Bitcoin actually become interested in it after a while. But I'd surely love to have a BTC presentation at one point in my life.

I recently shared my knowledge of bitcoin with an environmental leader in my village. incidentally his son is a friend of mine who is currently joining me in the crypto space, he is a graduate of informatics. Initially, my friend's parents were afraid because their child was involved in crypto (thought cryptocurrency was a scam with a ponzy scheme). By utilizing words such as bounty, free coins, and being able to make money without material loss, the parents slowly opened their minds and allowed their children to remain in the crypto room, even asking me to teach others (in my environment) about bitcoin technology. , also about the advantages and disadvantages of investing with bitcoin. bitcoin investment with capital from the bounty proceeds, it turns out to be a good start to introduce bitcoin for beginners here.

This is a cool concept to talk about, many people really seem to have no idea how easy somescams are to spot, yet, there's not much content out there about how to spot it. Kudos to you and good luck!

I tried this once but take a note that I am not from marketing related course. I am an education student major in English however I can still manage to trade here and do crypto related jobs because I have the skills when it comes to marketing strategies because I do online selling also. Then once I tried to share to my classmates what I am doing just to let them to earn also but no one believed in me because they thought that trading here is a scam.

I'm having an MBA degree on Marketing. Due to COVID19, we are having classes online. However, we had a term paper submission and presentation on "Deceptive Advertising". I have selected the freebitco advertisement and had presented their Bait and Switch method to attract newbies to have click on their site.
The advertisement is- "Win $200 bitcoin per hour" which I think totally a deceptive advertising. Through this, I was able to give a little hints about bitcoin among my fellow mates and my teacher. I felt lucky when teacher asked me what bitcoin is actually after my presentation, I gave a short answer to them.
This was really great achievement of me, it may not be to you. I feel lucky if I get a chance to talk about bitcoin among my country men.
