Topic: Live Bitcoin radio broadcast with My Local Community as the presenter - page 2. (Read 689 times)

You've got a really cool job! And you're also presenting a really cool topic! Congratulations!

I'm curious, how many hours is your shift? I wish you successfully managed to present Bitcoin well enough while also accommodating some breaks for ads, and probably plays some music in between discussions as well. And then you also took calls for some questions.

Anyway, I just hope the "what is Bitcoin" consumed a good amount of your discussion time since it is the most important. I hope it also included the underlying technologies of Bitcoin. I guess this is what should really convince people of it. Although you could quickly mention that Bitcoin came from zero to $70,000, and it could be enough for everybody to be really curious about it, it actually reinforces the Ponzi misconception of Bitcoin rather than addresses it.

Atimes i know that newbies in cryptocurrency do get discouraged whenever they had an ugly experience that involve them loosing their fund of which they may be unaware that such could also happens, now the put the whole blame on you that introduced them into it thinking that maybe you lie to them in deception and that may ever be the reason for such person never to forgive you because it might have cost them alot after fully depending on it for sustainace, that's why an information about bitcoin must not be withhold while dishing out.

I must confess that this action is a bold and good initiative. One advantage of using the radio mass media as a form of sharing information is that it it could a very large audience and radio is very cheap that almost every household in Africa can afford it. You even made it more interesting by giving your target the opportunity to asked questions. Using interactive method of learning is a very good teaching method that enhances extensive and quick understanding.


But your focus now should be just introducing and explaining the Bitcoin space to them. The choice of using or investing in Bitcoin should be there choice. It is also important you introduce them to the risk involve in using and investing in Bitcoin. Also ensure they are aware of the existence of scammers and privacy intruders, hence they must learn about cybersecurity and privacy. Keeping their password and keys safe are skills that must be encourage.

They must also be aware that there are other shitcoins that claim or promises huge profits on investment. Tell them that if it is not Bitcoin, then they are dealing with shitcoins and most of them are scam clothed with crypto.

what you do is a positive activity, namely the way you broadcast on the radio and also many people ask you about bitcoin and that is a unique and good thing, so that people know what bitcoin is. In this part of the world, there are now more and more people giving lessons about bitcoin to the public and in different ways, some are teaching bitcoin by coming to school and so on. and I think in the future bitcoin will definitely have more fans and enthusiasts because now people are starting to realize and know about bitcoin. because many people are giving lessons about bitcoin. online and offline.

Great work mate. I love the enthusiasm and tenancity Nigerians are beginning to show in creating awareness for bitcoin and cryptocurrency at large. In the core Northern part of Nigeria radios are mostly used. I think this initiative of yours will go long way here. I can't wait to have stores/malls accepting bitcoin as form of payment

You have done an excellent job by volunteering your time to educate people about Bitcoin. If we could find more people like you to do the same, the rate of Bitcoin adoption in Nigeria would be much higher than it is now. I wish I had the opportunity to educate my own people in my village; I would gladly do so.

Guys you're doing a great job!

Having presented the topic about bitcoin in a radio is already big. Although I usually see podcast types of discussion and the topic is bitcoin but if it's broadcasted in your local neighborhood, this is something big already for me.

I guess next time if you will have another broadcast discussion, have someone invited from the forum through an online conference or zoom meeting.

I believe you've done alot in making that show a reality and i see alot benefiting from that you just did, also you should not forget to always include the risk thereof in bitcoin for those that fail to acquire it knowledge before jumping into it or those that does it the wrong way, there are strategies and approaches to acquiring bitcoin which must be well understood before starting, then you also need to talk about the security of bitcoin with blockchain technology, importance of having your keys with you and how to avoid scam in general because alot have fall a victim of this.

Great Job OP! you hold such an important and powerful position, a position that can be leveraged on to share information to thousands of people as the radio still remains one of the most efficient tools for communication and it attracts and gets through to people even in the very rural areas, where other forms of media can't get to. I advocate for more live sessions if possible, we all need to keep sharing this good news of bitcoins to every ear willing to hear.

More ways of spreading about the word of bitcoin is happening all around. In particular Nigeria takes the lead and what the person have done is good. This will create awareness and keep the people away from fear. Many people will be having interest to invest/trade with cryptocurrency, but the lack of proper understanding and fear about the government keeps them restricted. Hope Nigeria will serve as an example to the young generation to its neighbouring countries.

I wish I had some merits to send. I admire your zeal to spread Bitcoin to the masses, by doing so you put your voice and following to good use. You gave good answers to the questions, usually when people hear about such things on radio, it's usually about real estate, investment opportunities mostly pyramid schemes, forex trading e.t.c. It will be nice if the radio can give you a show to talk about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency, it could be a 20 minute Bitcoin segment

Nigeria with its teeming population of young and middle aged individuals has the potential to champion the blockchain revolution globally. Despite the government's unfriendliness towards digital currencies, P2P trades are still high and businesses still operate with cryptocurrencies.

Well written table of content and also good answers to the questions raised. If I'm to put in any suggestions, it would be that I do not really see any benefit in Bitcoin as a legal tender. It doesn't have to replace fiat and can function conveniently as an alternative currency.

First of all, this is one of Nigeria radio station where I work.
People see Biitcoin is high risky investment, so many of them due to lack of misunderstanding and orientation,introducing it to a bigginer you need to let them know it bit by bit and help them master how the volatility affect price.
You don't explain bitcoin to people and tells them to go put all their life savings, that's not how adoption works and again, remember this is a live show which you need to apply caution and sense so that I don't end up jeopardizing myself and the people I work with.
Always apply caution to people that are new to bitcoin.

Why small amount? I would prefer to have my money in bitcoin after a significant bear market, the best time to buy bitcoin. Well, I can accept that people should buy small amount, but they should know that bitcoin is a speculative asset and can be a store of value and a hedge against inflation if holding it for a long period of time.

People can speculate, buy bitcoin and still earn more money from it, a way to invest in bitcoin.

My passion for Bitcoin and Bitcointalk led me to host a Bitcoin Live session at the radio station where I work on September 1st, the first Ember month of 2022. I am a radio presenter, and I anchor night rides, entertainment talks about politics, movies, and current issues in the country, and I also pick calls sessions where listeners call in and ask questions or answer questions when asked, and I sometimes do giveaways to encourage more people to join the session.

Bitcoin has gotten a lot of attention over the years, but many people still don't understand the basics of Bitcoin and crypto in general. Since joining this forum, I've been conducting research, and whenever groups of young talented adults discuss crypto, the arguments they present sometimes differ from what I'm learning.
Our parents have always wondered what Bitcoin is and why the youths see it as a new dimension of niche, while others believe it is a Ponzi scheme that will one day run away with people's money, just as they have suffered at the hands of previous Ponzi schemes such as MMM and Racksterli, which have gup down people's millions.
I sat down and thought about what I could do to educate our community about Bitcoin so that people would not be afraid of it and how they could learn more about it. I discussed it with my Managing Director, who was pleased with the idea, and I drafted out how I will be discussing Bitcoin with the locals.


The draft of my Bitcoin Discussion.





This was the discussion topic I drafted, and it was approved by the manager the day before I went live. He's heard of bitcoin, and to persuade him further, I set up a wallet for him just to prove what I'm proposing is real, and I'm glad he accepted. He cautioned me not to delve too deeply into Bitcoin as an alternative form of payment because he does not want our radio station to be shut down by the government or to irritate top officials. However, I did a small amount because the truth about bitcoin needs to be heard.



When I was on the air at the radio station, I was talking about my table of contents during the evening session.



Some images I took during my presentation in the studio with the help of my partner, who is more into music and DJing; he had to allow me to do bitcoin discussion alone after we had the parental guide session. He also knows a little about bitcoin and already has an account with some exchanges such as Binance and Quidax. He stayed and listened the entire time at the other end. I didn't include his pictures due to privacy reasons.

Following the discussion of my draft, we received one-on-one calls from the parents and youths. They called, and I asked their names, allowing them to ask any bitcoin-related questions they had, and I noted some of them:



QUESTIONS FROM THE PARENTS
- Is Bitcoin secured and how do you earn from it?

ANSWER: Bitcoin was the first coin created, and it has never been hacked in terms of security, it is highly secure. It is a peer-to-peer network that is heavily defended by trusted people from around the world, and a single person cannot successfully attack the network. Its network has been operational for over ten years and is still functioning properly. In fact, it is growing on a daily basis because the network hash rate has reached an all-time high, implying that more people are flocking to protect the bitcoin network.
Bitcoin could be earned when it was still in its early stages but now, you can only earn as a miner, but you can buy a small amount and hold it.

- Is Bitcoin only for young people?
ANSWER: Bitcoin is for everyone; you can buy it and give it to anyone you want, and you can buy it as a special gift for your old people and children and keep it for them until they reach the age of maturity.

- Can someone manage it for you (since they are always kind of busy)
No, don't give anyone access to your bitcoin. Take bitcoin and handle it as carefully as you would your debit card pin; bitcoin should be treated as if it were a secret you were taking to the grave.

- Asked about the legality of Bitcoin
Bitcoin is not yet legal in the country, nor is it illegal; however, due to political nepotism, banks have been prohibited from enabling bitcoin transactions. I advise them to use peer-to-peer because it is the only way to buy bitcoin right now.

QUESTIONS ASKED BY YOUTHS
-what is the least amount you can start with?
       ANSWER: You can buy bitcoin of any amount but some p2p recommends a minimum of $10 which is around #7,000

      -what are the advantages of being on bitcointalk and how to be a member?
      ANSWER: Bitcointalk is just like any other forum, like Nairaland (Nigeria's largest forum), where you can learn more about bitcoin, ask questions about bitcoin, and get answers to questions you don't understand. You also meet people from other countries, and there are Nigerians who participate in the forum.

      - Differences between wallet and exchange.
      ANSWER: An exchange is a place where you people trade, you can buy and sell bitcoin there but don't store your bitcoin on exchanges. Always hold your bitcoin on a personal wallet and make sure you have the private key well protected from the public.


Many questions were raised, but time was limited; however, I told them a free class will be held soon for those who are interested.
