Introducing bitcoin is truly very hard. In my view explain with the good thing bitcoin has, never and ever try to explain bitcoin in relation to gambling. The hardest part people easily understands it and ends up in a short.

We cannot blame people, the first time I heart it I think this is just a waste of time and bitcoin is just like any networking company who invites you and all you have to do is to invite friends for you to earn, but I was wrong. Then, the time that I want to share this good news to my friends they don't believe me until I let them see my first pay out and they were all amaze and get interested but never had the chance to join here.

Same as yours when i first hear about bitcoin i thought it was just an another mlm networking again which i dont pay attention until i discovered later on for myself the benefits and usage of its which really caught my interest and later on i do make self study without the need of someone.

Same here even I found little bit boring and complicated at the initial stage but I came to know very early about its potential and started to develop interest in it and started to research about it and now I am motivating people around me to start using bitcoins.

This thing which really me regret since the first time i heard about bitcoin because if i jumped in on that time then maybe i am rich for now.Yes i agree with you i really somehow boring for me on its initial stage but well i should move on and continue to engage to bitcoin even more. Sharing my ideas to my family and relatives would be the first step.

I see! It's great that you thought about presenting bitcoin rather than another topic which you may already know and familiar with and can defend it much easier than bitcoin.

My primary objective during the forum was to actually brought the idea of this currency on the digital world. Although they seems not to care because of not understanding the thing the objective was met because at first it caught their attention

It can be difficult at primary stage to make people understand about the concept of bitcoins but if we show them how it can give them extra money to them by simply spending few hours on this forum and how can they convert their bitcoins to real money then it will surely help in motivating them to start using bitcoins.

I did already expect them not to understand it however i was still sucessful on introducing it to them and just like us , only those who are interested would be a part of our community in the near future

That's all that you can do to be honest. There's no point for anyone to try and force people to join the Bitcoin community, if they want to join it then let them at their own volition, if they don't care then I don't know why anyone would bother forcing the issue. Just let people do what they want and that'll have better results.

Exactly I tried to explain it to my friends but when they didn't show any interest then I decided that I will not waste my time behind them instead I will use that time in earning bitcoins and I am sure those guys will definitely regret in future for not entering into bitcoins at the right time and at that point of time I will have the last laugh.

It would be a Herculean task to introduce bitcoins.
To get this as a good practice in the minds of the poeple.they need to get out of the typical middle class mindset of thinking it not to be safe.
The media has a major role to play in this they have to set up a good example amomg people for bitcoins.people who don't know about it think it to be a form of gamble etc where as ironically people who like it like it like hell.
The economists of the State who control it's policies should promote em and think good about em.
Also controlling committee of bitcoin should not hide it's identity(as that is one of major reasons why people think it to be insecure) and try to promote its trade.

The hard part, of course, is to make people understand that the current financial model, in which fiat currencies are based, is a model full of failures, and the causes of such failures are mainly the centralization points that exist in such a system. If people understand this, it will be easier for them to understand the importance of Bitcoin, because Bitcoin solves such problems by eliminating such points of centralization, thereby eliminating problems such as inflation.

Definitely. It's really normal to ask whether bitcoin is getting used for laundering money or not due to lack of knowledge regarding bitcoin if they already know the answer then why did they ask that question?
and in my opinion that asking such question doesn't mean the jury is fiat lover or whatever, the jury is just curious and want the right answer to make things clear.
And at the end when you have done your explanation to the jury, it's them who will make a decision to whether keeping trusting what media said or turning back and return to the truth.

Because the problem is still unsolved or don't have yet a solution, that's why proving one is a must,(I know that fiat is being used to money laundering, but the government created a law to prevent or punished anyone caught doing it and bitcoin don't/doesn't have that law.)and in his case, KYC policy is what he presented as a solution.

You had some sort of presentation and when hurry started to ask questions you didnt have answers.
Money laundering is happening with fiat for a long time, its hypocritical from fiat lovers to judge bitcoin. Why dont they clean their yard before they even start to talk about other yards! This kind of attitude is really annoying, dont lose your nerves in trying to explain, like The Pharmacist said: " Good luck trying to convince people of that. Either you like bitcoin already, or you're not going to be convinced, ever. " Respect!

I was going to say almost same words. That member of the jury was saying words he/she heard from the media, and they actually have no clue by themselves. That's a problem with modern education system - students know more than their teachers. I don't even know what to suggest for OP to do because exposing their ignorance he might get himself in troubles.

It was a presentation guys and the job of the jury is to question the obvious flaws of the presented topic
and the job of the presenter of the topic is to defend the topic he presented. the jury is not familiar about bitcoin
that's why he ask a common question, it's not hypocritical to ask an obvious problem, isn't it?

It is not that easy to convince people who don't know the meaning or working of Bitcoins. Most of the outsiders think it as a way to launder money. Sad

And yes I can understand how you feel when some exchanges ask for KYC and we have to do them in order to withdraw or deposit Fiat. Undecided

Someone will be hard to know or explain about bitcoin if they don't want it. But they want to know about bitcoin, they will learn about it and looking for any articles, websites, books, friends that knowing bitcoin. It's all about will.
Me too, when I first heard a friend talk about bitcoin, I don't understand it and I am not interest on it. But when I see someone on the internet explain how bitcoin work and show his profit I 100% interest. It's because I love money, and he showed me money.

The best way to answer a question is by returning the question. If they ask that bitcoin is prone to money laundering ask them also if fiat currency is not prone to money laundering. If they ask that it used in black market then you return the question, is USD not used in black market, what are the americans used in buying illegal drugs, weapons isnt it US dollars. Then when they answer the question you will reply that bitcoin is like US dollars, it is a currency online and has value and thats why it is not the currency that is the problem but it is the users.

That wouldn't help the defense at all, it will just show that you are not capable of bringing/proposing
a solution to the problem in question. if you do that you already lost your defense.

Actually that one was only an introduction that is why I did proposed btc because there were a lot of audience that includes lower years like 3rd down to first year students and it is the best way to introduced btc Cheesy

I see! It's great that you thought about presenting bitcoin rather than another topic which you may already know and familiar with and can defend it much easier than bitcoin.

I wonder how you explained bitcoin to them. I think they misunderstood, but there is possibility that you explained bitcoin in a wrong way. I just want to ask you, in what language did you explain bitcoin to them? your native language or English? and what did you emphasize about bitcoin?

Well i just explained to them that for a reservation system that we proposed i would like to introduce to you all bitcoin a much better way of payment processor lesser fees and better security.

Quote from: acroman08 on January 29, 2017, 04:10:21 AM

Then this jury is focusing on bitcoins risks. but rather than letting him focus on one problem you should've
presented other features of bitcoin(I'm sure this will bring more questions) to expand his knowledge about bitcoin a little more
and stop him from focusing on one problem. while you are explaining bitcoin he will realize the other problems that bitcoin has, but putting a little solution to that problem(just like KYC policy) will lessen the weight of the problem, and you should highlight the benefits and possibilities rather than focusing how to defend one problem.

Anyway, are you going to have another thesis defense?

Yup i guess the idea of this one jury was only the downside and he only ask if how can we solve that kind of problem(which is money laundering if we use it as a payment processor, I actually said that one you have stated and he just agreed on it however there were still doubts lol
