Topic: I was invited to speak about Bitcoin to financial management college students (Read 749 times)

This is awesome, I wish you the best of luck while doing so.  I think you're doing a great thing here not only for those that you will be teaching but also for the bitcoin community as a whole.  Anytime any of us can get out there and teach others about bitcoin /cryptocurrency we should take that opportunity as it will only help grow our beloved orange B    Again, best of luck!

Training and preparing is needed so as to be confident in any presentation. I know it is a hard task to many people, but if we really want to improve ourselves, it will be just a piece of cake. With hard efforts and willing to overcome the fear, human can mostly do anything

i have to admit that I am not very good in presentation in front of a lot of audience. But sometimes, when it is obligatory, I spend my time to train the speech. I also meditate to have a clear mind. Moreover,  writing down main idea is also an awesome solution

This is exactly what my professor have told me in my senior year in highschool, what I mean is that all those tips are what my professor said, I don't know but you might be that professor, just kidding. I think that this tip is a proven one and also good luck for your future invites to speak.

Wow that's cool! I guess it's really important for young generation to be more aware of financial management. Around me, i have a lot of friends that are interested in bitcoin as well, but it's hard for them to come into this world since they don't know much about this. Too many information out there also overwhelmed them, i think it must be nice if our college can also have a webinar about bitcoin too. Never found one yet in my language, although it might be interesting to join one. I hope you keep doing that and spread awareness of bitcoin!

Right! We should provide knowledge and propaganda about Bitcoin for students. Especially Financial Faculty Student. They are enthusiastic and boldly young forces choose the appropriate investment path. Furthermore doing so will expand the electronic money network. The more people participate in the electronic money market and Bitcoin investment, Bitcoin quickly became a popular transaction currency. The electronics market is also more stable, attracting stronger investors.

Dude it’s okay at least you wanna do it, right? Everyone starts at the very beginning where we have the fear of public speaking. It’s okay and normal that you are nervous in the first place, and missing out your speech or out of sync or something like that.

I have a tip for you. Try to save a photo of a random crowd and open it full screen on your computer or any other device. This is your training ground imagining that you speak in front of a big audience. This is where you should face your fears. All you need to do was to keep practice, know what you wanna talk for every slide that you present, etc.

It’s okay to be a mess in the first place, but as long you keep doing it, you will be getting much more comfortable. Your fears will slowly die down. This is what I do when I am still at the early stages of my speaking engagement. No speaker is perfect, everyone makes mistakes (even the pros).

I decided to be a crypto and blockchain speaker last 2018, and it was not a good one in my first few sessions. But eventually, I learned my mistakes and keep getting better, and all of a sudden, I was more comfortable doing it no matter how many are there in the crowd.

The largest crowd that I have spoken was last 2019, where I think it was like 700 to 800 students in a university. My biggest break is when I was invited to be one of the panel crypto speakers in Malaysia, with over 300 internationals watching me speak. It was well paid off after all of what I have been through.

Fear is something that you need to overcome in order to fulfill your dream and make it a reality. Just do it slowly, practice it until you are finally comfortable. Hope my tip helps you man.

You gotta live with that dream and making it a reality by slowly confronting your fears and getting out of your comfort zone.

This is one of my dream and also one of my weaknesses or fear,
I want to be invited to speak about something that I love to do to,
To inspire other by my success but also I am a bit shy infront of the crowds so sometimes I ends up forgetting my speech or report.

Wow that’s really good, to see that there are lots of people who are ready to learn about cryptocurrency like Bitcoin and the blockchain really makes me happy and shows that we are progressing, really. I am happy about this. I do talk to people about Bitcoin but in a big way like this, it’s usually with friends and sometimes when I get into some kind of conversation with some random people, or maybe my friends would recommend me to some people so that they can learn about Bitcoin and what cryptocurrencies and blockchain is all about.

So, it’s good to see that you’re doing it in a really big way, and I am sure that the students will also tell their friends and family ,which will keep spreading information on this. And by the way what’s the situation in your country? Hope the situation didn’t get any worse than what it was then. Good luck.

I'm glad to hear that and it would be great if I'll be able to attend your forum someday. With that being said, many people will become more aware of the existence of cryptocurrency and how it will benefit them in a good way. I think you should create content with regards to cryptocurrency and upload it on social media platforms so that many people will be able to learn from you.

This is a great opportunity to spread the word of bitcoin. This is a platform to reach so many people at once and tell them about bitcoin and its numerous benefits. This is really the work of every bitcoin user. To spread the good news.
The only limitation for others is that we don't have this opportunity of reaching so many people at the same time so we resort to reaching out to people one on one.
I'm very sure that with moves like this, it won't be long before everybody gets to know what bitcoin is and how it can be used.

Really nice, can you tell us about bitcoin online too? In general, you seem to be very well versed in this matter, because such an invitation to such topics is not sent to everyone. And it is very good that teachers are developing their students in the blockchain field, a good university.

This is exciting news where schools are starting to look at the existence of crypto and blockchain. I've heard there are many schools
that add cryptocurrency lessons to their list. This is an advancement that blockchain technology is very welcome nowadays and students
do need information about what crypto and blockchain are, so they need information about all this from you. 

We are sure that it's really worth teaching this to students! Don't forget to tell them about cloud mining

I am very glad that you have such an opportunity to teach online. Even if the epidemic is not over, some people will be able to learn about Bitcoin and blockchain. This is very useful for promoting Bitcoin and expanding its awareness. It has a big effect. Many people resist it because they don't understand it. So this opportunity is very rare. You can first ask everyone about their understanding of Bitcoin, do some simple science popularization, and then explain more in-depth questions.

Thank you! Yes it is my mission and vision to educate the masses about the real and positive use cases of Bitcoin, cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology, even if it’s in a virtual session. I don’t mind if they’re just 10, 20 or so, as long I can educate, I am happy to do it.

Yes I am planning to host this with the other schools and universities when given the chance. I also hope that the current university would also recommend me to other universities as well for future virtual class sessions.

Congratulations, I can see that your seminar/speech did something to make them do a repeat. I hope that it will be another successful seminar. Do you plan hosting this kind of virtual thing in other schools in the future? I hope that you will do so and I hope that other school administration will acknowledge and reach you out to do a seminar on their students too.

Nice one bro!

Glad to know about that, when i still in college 2 years ago i asked my college to make event about digital currency and they won't let me doing it most of them don't interested about blockchain and etc.

And here's another good news. I am invited again by the same university to conduct another virtual class this coming April 3rd. This time, it will be a new batch of students and one of my long-time colleagues will also be joining me to be the guest speaker as well.

I can feel that the university is slowly gonna acknowledge the importance of their students to be educated about Bitcoin, cryptocurrencies, blockchain technology, etc. It's a great start!

It really nice that you can do speech about bitcoin and  blockchain everywhere especially infront of a lot of people.. Its a big achievement for you mate,  wherein since a lot of people are become against because of some scam history of bitcoin in the philippines, and look you still free to share your knowledge in public.. Congrats!. . I hope this can enlighten some filipinos because crypto is really a big help in the future..

What an awesome story since not many people have a chance to listen to a guy talking about crypto in university or college. I'm proud of you and what you are doing to provide a clean ecosystem for bitcoin and blockchain in your country

If you are good at speaking English, I guess opening your own virtual meeting for bitcoin education would be an enchanting idea. I bet that there will be a lot of people spending their time listening to your speech

maybe in the future they will start teaching financial grammar in schools. it would be nice

Because the professor isn’t aware yet about cryptocurrency, you may want to spend time giving him the basic information about it first. I’m having a feeling that your professor hasn’t been open minded yet about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. In order for you to make this happen, you need to educate him first before making a proposal to conduct a cryptocurrency webinar. Hope this helps.


Which school are you from? And do you remember who is the name of that speaker? I may or may not know him, but collaboration would be possible. Thank you.

As far as I remember there is also a speaker that make a seminar on us way back year 2018 and it is also held in our school here in the Philippines and I've really see the importance and also understand what bitcoin is and what it may help on the financial management of everyone. Good thing to know is that me and my friends humbly ask him a question and he doesn't hesitate to answer it and that was really awesome seminar. Hoping that there will be more seminar like this in every school so that we would be enlighten on what bitcoin and blockchain technology is all about.

I've submitted a title to my professor which regards to bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as a topic for our upcoming webinar. Unfortunately he rejected it and I dont know the reason why he did. All i can say is that he was confused upon checking the title and he even whispered to himself "what's this?" . Judging from his expression i can say that he isnt that well informed when it comes to cryptocurrency. The students are lucky that their professor accepted their topic on bitcoin and has given you the opportunity to educate those who are not that familiar with cryptocurrency.

This is a good opportunity to fix in the minds of students the idea that bitcoin is not a bubble, but a tool for making a profit.

Its really a great event to be part of something like that. I hope our University would also raise awareness regarding Cryptocurrencies but there are only few professors who would engage in topics that would help students earn more money in a way that is not totally related within their courses. It always feels good to see fellow Crypto-Enthusiasts in the Philippines that is happy to share their knowledge.

I really appreciate your efforts to educate many people in the Philippines, because the crypto world needs many people like you by educating
many people about cryptocurrency and blockchain technology. Many people today are misinformed about cryptocurrency, because they get their
information from incompetent sources. It is annoying the current pandemic situation, because many seminars that are usually conducted have
to be postponed. It is true that now technology is increasingly sophisticated, we can educate people through virtual. But according to
my research, enthusiasm for virtual education by face-to-face has a very different effect. I just hope the pandemic will end soon and people
like you can provide education in universities across the Philippines again.

This is to know that Filipinos are started to dig deeper and have the interest to know more about Bitcoin. This could be the stepping stone for wide adoption in the Philippines and encourage business owners as well to accept Bitcoin. These college students will be a tool to help it possible.

Anyways, what you have done is a big influence on the mind of the people. A person like you gives a way for these young minds to educate themselves and correct about their thinking that Bitcoin is a scam.

Yeah, the price is very important though cause while you giving a lecture the price might raise or suddenly fall. Sometimes you also need to check the words you using or you might want to explain to them some terms that used in the crypto industry and you will find some of them amazed by that because we are not just a small community we are big that we have even our own terms in this industry and it will give them more curiosity which will make them want to check more about Bitcoin someday.

It is a very incredible experience as well as opportunity to think that you will stand as a speaker talking about Bitcoin to other people on letting them widen their understanding on what Bitcoin really is. For sure it is a great honor for you as a guest speaker to share to other people what you know about it so they can further understand the reality about Bitcoin for the fact that many are now being curious about its existence, usage and importance ever since pandemic started making more people interested about it. I do also want to stand a chance to have a great opportunity like that to talk to other people about Bitcoin so that I can educate them about it and answer their inquiries and curiousity about such topic that is rarely being tackled inside school premises.

Absolutely correct. They are more interested in making profits or in the earning side of cryptocurrency. Yes I have shared to them about the basics of cryptocurrency trading, and some are interested. I also covered a little bit about decentralized finance and NFTs, but I usually advice them that this industry is considered high risk and disclosing that I am not a financial advisor or so, and they should fully acknowledge the risks once they have decided to enter the space.

And here's some good news. There is a possibility that I am going to have a sequel with them, probably about the earning side of cryptocurrency since most of them are interested about it.

I also have an old colleague of mine who can connect me to some several universities where he was known by some teachers, etc., for me to have more virtual classes this year.

the best chance to introduce about bitcoin and blockchain technology. Those who take your online classes on bitcoin and blockchain will gain new knowledge and a new perspective on bitcoin and blockchain. Students are the right target, because there will be a lot of potential that will arise when they know what bitcoin, blockchain and cryptocurrency are, as well as the technology on blockchain and cryptocurrency is a future technology that can be developed by anyone.

Classes that talk about bitcoin, blockchain and cryptocurrency are very rare, in my country it's not even very popular and only know about it without going into it.

Congratulations, you are the one who might be said to have helped bitcoin by spreading the good news about it to student on several campuse. But I am interested in knowing a little of the part that interest your student the most?

My guess is, many of your student have an interest in trading and how to make a profit, is that correct?

That's great, it is a big opportunity for you to discuss or to teach them about cryptocurrency, I think you are good at cryptocurrency because you are the one who got invited to discuss them, Goodluck with your journey mate, I know you can make them understand a thing about cryptocurrency, this thing shows how many people are now really interested about bitcoin. We also have now in some countries the subject for cryptocurrency, we are now seeing the little mass adoption for cryptocurrency and that is really good news for the community. Philippines is a really nice country so you would not face any problem for your presentation

I haven't spoken in PUP yet. I have spoken in the following universities:

- University of Makati
- University of the East - Caloocan
- Cebu Technological University
- University of San Jose - Recoletos
- University of Cebu - Banilad
- Silliman University - Dumaguete

But if given the chance, I would love to educate them about cryptos on a virtual setup since pandemic isn't over yet. However, I don't have any known connections there on PUP. If you want, you can connect me to your cousin who is a student there as you said, so that she could possibly refer me to their dean, professor, etc.

Right now, I have an old colleague of mine who has several connections in various universities and we might have a plan to have more virtual classes with students starting next month.

By the way, yesterday's session was a success....it was a 2-hour session. I almost lost my voice there lol.....

That's good. I have been involved in several Bitcoin and cryptocurrency virtual meeting. We educated the Cryptocurrency newbies on what blockchain technology is all about. How to invest or trade, and also the risk in it as well etc.

Okay. So maybe, you are the guy my cousin had told me before. Ain't sure still?? Have you ever spoken in PUP? Because she goes there...

Btw, Congrats. If ever you are not that guy, it's okay, it is still nice to hear that Bitcoin is truly being accepted here in my country, and that there's a lot of bitcoin enthusiast giving knowledge and information about it. Those students are very lucky indeed.

Congrats, very few get such opportunity. Sharing what we know about bitcoin is a good work, and the same when done to the young generation who are professionally getting prepared to take responsibility of the financial management roles on different services is gonna be a game-changer to atleast few students.

The pandemic has forced everyone to make do with whatever they had so we have no other option but to adapt ourselves to the circumstances in which we are in, however this is something that we are going to see more and more, the world cannot longer ignore something as big as bitcoin so people need to begin to learn about.

We know that you can learn a great deal of it just on the Internet alone, but there are very few people that are able to learn everything they need to know about a particular subject by reading alone, they need the human touch which is precisely why we have teachers at schools, I just hope that people are interested in bitcoin not only for the financial benefits that it can give them but by the novelty of the technology itself.

Glad to hear that, philipines is one of the country where bitcoin is being loved by their citizen. I saw many forum member here from philipines and their so antusiast to learn and even give un understanding about bitcoin (especially in beginner and help section).

Yeah, I'll be agree to some people above me who said that when you've done I suggest to make a review about the seminar. You can recap some point that you think this will be helpfull as well for the forum member here. Also, may I know where you find some knowledge about bitcoin? Like book or etc?

Since he was being requested to make up some talks then you could expect that they would really be listening considering that he would be talking in front of financial
management college students which is a better audience compared into those people who dont have any idea on whats crypto is all about.Having like this is really
an opportunity for the speaker to share up and spread awareness about bitcoin and also a beneficial thing for those students on knowing the new opportunity that they
would able to learn after that speech.It depends on how op do deliver out about bitcoin when it comes to its usage and benefits.

This is sounds good. All the best wishes for you. My suggestion for you that don't be paniced when you speech. Because if this happens then you can't give good lecture. Before giving lecture you must see the current price of Bitcoin because bitcoin price up and down all time. Do best study for lecture. Hope you will do good.

     This kind of thing is really difficult specially in areas where most of the people have closed minds when it comes to new things. It honestly is quite upsetting seeing how people react and make fun of people trying to spread awareness about this industry. I know because I too experienced the same treatment. Which is why seeing people like you who are not afraid nor affected by how people react to what you say really amazes me every time. It just takes a lot of courage and patience to be able to endure such response from the very people whom you owe nothing but still try to help and illuminate.

Good luck, it's very rare to be asked to become a speaker for college students. It's really a good opportunity to in this type of engagement. College students are easy to understand the technology and what's with crypto is all about. You'll be having not that much difficulty to explain and make them understand about bitcoin. If you can update this thread and have the recording, that would be nice to hear. Cheers and good luck!

Good that OP you can reach to masses and that too among young students who would be thriving with a new career after the studies and probably they may think about something now start-up in this blockchain or crypto space. I have been doing this with my friend’s circle and from last couple of years many of them are now educated and own it. The recent rise in coin just made their belief stronger than before now.

I have also attended several seminars on digital currency, especially bitcoin and most of which were attended by millennials and universities.
and what I know is that this seminar discusses more about the advantages of investing and how bitcoin and blockchain work and so on.
why discuss more about the benefits because people will be tempted and want to be like most people who have benefited well and after that there will be further discussion seminars until they really understand in more detail.
I really like the OP because that way more and more people will be involved in bitcoin or crypto like the seminars I attend and as a result most of them are interested and involved.

That's nice!

Let's hope that your lecture will bring many bright and young minds into crypto.

What do you plan to speak about? Bitcoin 101 or more advanced topics?

Best of luck, mate make sure you let them remember the basics thoroughly with your presentation. It would be nice if you have a recorded video or something so that we could see what are the reaction of your audiences since it's all a student and I don't know if some of them have a basic knowledge about crypto currency and Bitcoin but I just want to see how interested those students of learning what is the new technology.

But since you were just representing about the financial management, it would be more convenient if you elaborate almost everything about of the blockchain, mining and Bitcoin. Just kindly post a link to your presentation it would be awesome to us to see it.

That's nice. I can't wait to see the outcome of the session though.
Please keep an update on this thread.
I wish back in the days, this was mentioned at least in our class. I didn't take a business course, but mainly an IT course cause of choices.

People know you are an enthusiast of bitcoin and have many experiences with bitcoin, so they invite you as keynote speakers in class.
I think that is not happening in the Philippines, but I guess people who adopt bitcoin are still not bigger.
Sooner or later, many people will know about bitcoin, which means the number of people who will learn bitcoin will increase.
Maybe people only know that bitcoin has been used for crimes, but they do not know how bitcoin can be used as an investment thing for them.
You can help them explain what you know about bitcoin, so they can open their minds that bitcoin can help them solve the financial problem.

It's a privilege really, since you would be talking as an expert on their eyes so better give them the lecture they won't forget any time soon. It's not everyday that you would be asked to talk about a certain topic that not every one knows about, or fully understands. At this point, education about bitcoin in the Philippines is really crucial for honing young minds in order to make them fully-equipped with knowledge in a world where everything is fast-paced.

Best of luck on your presentation!

Just to give you guys an update. I had a call with the college students earlier to clarify more details and other arrangements, and looks like we’re all set and good to go. So this month, I will virtually educate 40+ students under the Financial Management 14 class about the real and positive use cases of Bitcoin, how blockchain works, altcoins, trading, regulatory side, DeFi, NFTs, etc. My talk would be around one a half hour, so I have at least 2 weeks to prepare the slides.

Wish me luck guys! I’m excited!

Hope you will educate them well about crypto and importance of self custody

It is great to see that there are still people pivoting to adapt to the changing environment. I have not seen anything from Andreas Antonopoulos ( Bitcoin advocate and public speaker ) in a while and I consider him as being one of the best speakers out there.

We appreciate people like you that are still fighting to get the message out there to the people and we thank you for that.  If I may ask..

1. How are they receiving the information? (Most traditional learners are taught old economics and they rarely question the norm)
2. The Philippines are mostly regarded as a poor nation with high unemployment, so what "use case" would be ideal for global companies to target the "poor" nations? (We know for instance Bitcoin ATMs are distributed, mostly in 1st world countries, because the more wealthy people are targeted)

Share some of their feedback with us, please. 

all finally determined by the infra structure of each country to get to know more about blockchain with bitcoin. If there are countries that have provided a study on blockchain, they are clear because there is no infra structure problem because the main guideline is that.

It is clear that the progress made in education will be able to provide information to the public even more freely because many understand their fields and it is easy to provide education because they are indeed experts. This indicates that bitcoin has taken a long time to show a positive effect on its development. education will be easier to do with people who are experts in their fields.

Of course, our hope will be transmitted to countries that may not yet recognize blockchain and bitcoin to see a reality like this.

I am sure that students can be learning a lot from you based on your own experience and that of others in this expanding industry. Cryptocurrency in the Philippines is still young and there are still so many millions who have not heard anything related to Bitcoin and cryptocurrency hence the market is still green. The Philippines has no specific law covering cryptocurrency, but there are regulations that can be applied and good to note that the government is not anti-cryptocurrency.

Good to hear that Mate, I'm also from the Philippines, and I can say that the interest in crypto usage in the Philippines is at a record-high nowadays, and even in my city and province down south the interest in cryptocurrency particularly Bitcoin is also rising, thats why it is very important to educate the people because most of them think that Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are scams and even compared it to the Dutch (TulipMania)

Wow, that is a great opportunity, everything that we are doing to spread our knowledge in bitcoin to other people is a good thing, it will make our community better and bigger, if your audience will listen to you then for sure they will also get interested on it just like what just happened to me when my friend had told me about cryptocurrency, it gives me the interest to try and explore it.

Hoping that you will have a successful output for that, We will be glad as well if you are going to share the result of it here someday, so we could also learn as well, especially for the beginners like me.

I kind of remember one user here in the forum. He isn't reputated but he indeed made a seminar about Bitcoin and somehow it was success.
We're on the same country, OP and I hope I could do the same as well to my colleagues, but some how they're not really that interested that much in cryptos. They're more like a bank-type.

Well, they’re the ones who invited me to speak about the real and positive use cases of Bitcoin since Philippines is still very young in this industry. And I have been one of their keynote speakers before in mid-2019 talking about Bitcoin and crypto wallets. I estimate that only 0.0001% of the entire Philippines population are adopting Bitcoin mostly for trading, mining and holding. As for Bitcoin being the mode of payment in traditional businesses, I don’t think they’re adopted just yet. Only a handful I suppose, this is why until now Philippines is still considered a “fresh” market for Bitcoin despite that it’s already regulated by the Philippine Central Bank since 2014. 

And I think it's good for you not because of pandemic but for the safety reason. In my opinion, presenting a speech that clearly states that you  are dealing with bitcoin is a bit risky business.  The headlines these days are all about various crimes with demand for ransom in bitcoins. ^{"Bitcoin Demand Drives $1.4 Billion Ransomware Industry"}

Its really privilege when you are getting such honours at high levels that you are being part of the 1% of world population who are spreading awareness about the financial revolution that will be replacing the traditional monetary market based on decentralised trust of all the users.The youth are building block of the nation and economy depends upon them and if they are shown right path of crypto world they can bring great changes in replacing digital payment with fiat. It's really hard to teach people about the technical working behind Bitcoin but youth is well equipped with technical improvement and its easy to motivate them and make them understand things.So best of luck and thanks to you for such participation in growth of Bitcoin and blockchain technology.

Yes they are business class and not IT, so I don't need to go over with some technical stuff. I'll just go over with the financial side of it. Tomorrow, I will be having a call with them to further discuss additional details so that everything will be clear.

Almost two years ago in that same university, I was a guest speaker of 700+ students in attendance to talk about the basics of crypto wallets and got a certificate of appreciation.

It doesn't matter if it's a virtual lecture or an in person one, what matters is that these students are going to be exposed to quite a lot of things about Bitcoin, since they are students of financial management, they'll be used to only traditional currencies in the aspect of managing finance, I think during the lecture, presenting Bitcoin as a hedge against the continually devaluing Fiat currency will be a great addition as a part of the lecture.

Having said that, after the lecture you could give us an estimate of how many of these students knew about Bitcoin before the lecture, how many saw it previously as a 'get rich quick scheme', just a somewhat break down of the entire lecture, goodluck mate.

Congratulations! It is a privilege and an honor to be a speaker to speak about bitcoin in a Financial Management class to students. Especially today when bitcoin is playing its important role in global finance.
We are writing history and now that the use of technology breaks the communication barriers by making it virtual, it is more participatory.
Definitely enriching experience and valuable for the rest.

Let's be true that most of the college students are aiming to have a good job after they graduated just to help himself grow.

Young ones are interested on how to earn money or to make profit at a young age and that's what makes me to join this forum.

Speaking about bitcoin in most of the universities or institutions will really help the bitcoin adoption to become much faster as college students nowadays engaged more in digital aspects. I start to invest on bitcoin since 2016 and now i'm doing fine and holding it for so many years which is really the best that I've ever did in my life.

It is indeed a priviledge that you'll represent bitcoin and will become a good btc influencer and be a tool to be an eye opener to those students who are interested to be a part of this advanced technology.
 
 Is there a chance we can watch your speech (recorded) as I am also from the same country? Like @ddmrddmr said, give us some update how does it go after you engaged on that blockchain seminar as I am very much interested, too on how you instill these kind of new technology to the students.

We are living in a country where Financial Literacy is way below. People here in Philippines are engaging more in vlogging videos that doesn't give them any learnings about financial things than those vloggers whose contents are purely regarding to Financial Literacy.

With this, there are people who will know what are the basics of Bitcoin. More people will make this an eye opener for them whether Bitcoin or crypto in general suits for them or not. I have seen some Youtubers here in our country that is speaking now regarding crypto in their channel and that is good. There is nothing better than sharing your knowledge with other people

P.S. If you want though, can you upload a video of it on Youtube so we can watch it . Thanks

Hope that you wouldn't mind inviting us if it is possible if you ever have a talk/seminar about bitcoin. What you are doing is a good thing for the community and the students themselves, if I may be blunt, I would say that you are doing them a favor introducing them to bitcoin and cryptocurrency because we know that it can change the life of someone, there are stories that I want to share but it will be a long story and I don't even know where to start. Good luck on your talk/seminar and hopefully many people are going to be curious and explore bitcoin/cryptocurrency after your talk/seminar.

I hope you will be able to inspire many of the young minds out there who are interested in learning about cryptocurrencies. Its good to hear that a university has taken interest in giving a talk about crypto because I remember when I was back in college, there were professors from the finance department who disliked bitcoin. Now we can see more professionals becoming more open to the topic and even encouraging to the young audiences. I hope to see more relevant classes and courses not only on crypto, but also on blockchain technology. The resources on crypto are expanding more and more as I can see that more books and articles on it are being published.

Many courses from universities or colleges or institutes. You can get them free (but have to pay fees for certificates if want them) or charged fees for a course.

The problem is that a lot of speakers are like coming into talks bringing with them an imaginary audio record inside their heads which they would only play in front of the participants regardless of who they are, what they master at, what their common interests are, and so on. They're like mumbling in front of the crowd thinking of what they will say next. It happens because they are only memorizing things. They do not really know what they are talking about.

I agree with your suggestion. A speaker who knows what he's about to present adjusts accordingly to the crowd. I suppose OP is to speak before a business class. I suppose it's going to be about the basics. If OP were to face an IT class, the approach would be a lot more technical.

That's nice! I remember some guy also talks about blockchain technology in our school, and it was so complicated to understand everything about blockchain technology and they were encouraging us to be a blockchain developer. He told us that blockchain technology is a new technology that has a high potential in the future and you could earn a high salary being a developer.

It's nice to educate people about bitcoin or cryptocurrency and explain to them what is it or how it works, hopefully, it could be a subject too in the future,

I think its better to do seminars online, I've done a lot of seminars this pandemic because it's more like an online thing so it kinda like of less hassle for me instead of traveling.

Congrats mate, at least you will have the chance to spread the word about bitcoin and crypto currency in general. And it's interesting to see that crypto is really taking the world now specially college students who may see crypto and blockchain in a different perspective today.

As others have said, it's good to hear the feedback after your speaking, and best of luck.

actually, there are already schools (colleges/universities) that are offering blockchain courses. there's one user here that created a thread before enumerating the schools which are offering blockchain tech or bitcoin-related courses. so it is already happening in different parts of the world. if i can find the thread, ill post the link here.

Soon the blockchain will be introduced to the school curriculum officially because if the lectures continue in different continent, the government will have no choice than to make an introduction to the school system. The reason the adoption is getting some force is the institutions are really boosting the awareness and are making big buy.

This is the second of such news i'm getting on this forum in this week and it feels good to know that, institutions of learning which ever it is, either higher or basic are subscribing to the idea of the bitcoin revolution. The schools are the center for basic knowledge and gaining societal ides and the fact that, schools are beginning to see a reason as to why student's should be enlightened on bitcoin and cryptocurrency, it implies that bitcoin has attained a major break through and soon, other institutions and organizations would subscribe to its idea too and in a way, government would be left with no choice than to adopt the new system.

Well that's great and I may have a suggestion for you. Since this is a Financial Management students attending your talk maybe you can a ask a few questions first before you start, questions where you will know how many people in the call are familiar with Bitcoin and what do they know so far so you will have a chance to find out on how you can start your lesson with them. When I was a student and I have attended one of these talks the speaker talk about things I already know with Bitcoin so I really didn't learn anything and I felt like it was just a waste of time for me. Some of your listeners might feel this way and become disinterested so ask a few questions first or better take a survey from the attendees before the talk so you will know how you will present.

Well done my friend!
Any activities or move that do spread out awareness about bitcoin or crypto as a whole is always a good thing and only a few been doing this stuff when it comes on sharing
or explaining things up into someone about it which is really a commendable kind of mindset.Keep going mate and dont stop on spreading out into your country
about bitcoins existence.

Rare privilege, you're indeed graced make sure you use this great opportunity to impact bitcion and spread it to the world at large with your voice. I'm happy for you . and if there's any other way we on this platform can also engage and benefit please relate to us as soon as possible.. Thank you.

Once you’re done, it would be nice if you provided some feedback here on what you talked about roughly/exactly, and the (virtual) feedback you received from the alumni. I figure there will be Q&As, and that should give you a reading of just how interested they are on the topic.

I read through Citi’s recent report on bitcoin today, and it does provide some compound information which may come in handy for context (https://ir.citi.com/peFJTnzeEoMSIAEFlwH12VeM5d%2BCckWNrsO9lxpmyWezrz5V%2Bx%2FfRvm0gv6cWRpDHGWtIk7sTME%3D).

This is very nice. As we all continue to spread the word about the prospects of btc and Blockchain benefits, more people will rally in and in a long run the effect of this will be evident in the price value. We must all continue to educate as much people as we can both offline and online. Kudos!

It's been a while since my last speaking engagement in a Philippines-based university. That was before the pandemic began. I've been speaking to various universities and communities before to educate them about the basics of Bitcoin, cryptocurrencies, blockchain technology, etc. I've missed doing that by the way, as the pandemic disallows face-to-face classes in the Philippines.

Recently, one of the students representing a well-known university in the Philippines reached out to me personally and was inviting me to become the guest speaker of their Financial Management class to educate them about the Bitcoin and blockchain basics.

It will be done virtually since travel restrictions are still imposed and I am still scared of traveling because I don't want to be quarantined. But yet, I am still privileged and excited to talk about Bitcoin to students again, but in a virtual setup. Feels good!
