Topic: My first sponsored Bitcoin seminar (Read 640 times)

Congratulations on your first seminar, I really see this as an encouragement to me, because this is really something I love, I love teaching and sharing positive knowledge, seeing this from you now has really inspire me,
And I will say this,
 when I have gotten more knowledge on Bitcointalk (Bitcoin) I will sure try host a seminar and share my knowledge too, because have been wanting to do it ever since,

This proves that bitcoin has got a lot of interested users and investors, but it only takes awareness and promotion so that the people around will start acknowledging it and appreciate it just like fiat’s value. While this could be very helpful to combat inflation, then it’s more of a reason that people should save and invest into bitcoin and prepare for the huge profits in the future.

I love the threads here that show local stories of how Bitcoin is becoming more known and accepted as payment by people. These stories are often from Nigeria (I don't know if this one is from there or from a different country), and that formed a very positive impression of the people of this country for me. I believe people are right that you shouldn't focus on the price side, and I'd also recommend browsing the forum for threads of previous similar events hosted by forum members (here is just one example). Some even had screenshots or lengthy descriptions of what they were talking about.

congratulations for your first Bitcoin Seminar mate , most of us dreaming to become one but lucky that you come first , we bitcoin supporters are looking for this opportunity to be part of the spreading market , and with these kind of act we are adding people to believe and invest in bitcoin , added that they may continue the spread and will let their family and friend to do the same as they are. thank you for this initiative mate , really helps market a lot.

what you did was very good, but did you tell the risks when investing in bitcoin, ( namely the risk of profit and loss).?.
 but what you do is extraordinary, because it has explained the benefits and uses of bitcoin. indeed we need to carry out these activities, namely with the aim of helping everyone's economy. and actually I can also get to know bitcoin because there are people who teach bitcoin to me. and for beginners in bitcoin, of course, it requires detailed lessons about bitcoin, so that you don't experience losses, because everything without knowledge will surely be destroyed.

Bringing people together is not an easy task especially passing information from one person to another about your thought. This was something I had been planning for more than three weeks to make sure that all necessary things is out in place for positive. I worked hard for this and I was much happy that it turned out successful.

Currently I had been receiving invitations from few persons to help them through there journey of getting full acquainted to the Bitcoin world. This is my passion to get the news across large number of audiences around my region. This is just my first attempt, looking like I was not good enough based on random views from here and I'm still strong to make it more bigger and better.

Yes, it’s the notion that you could get rich overnight that mostly attracts people to the cryptocurrency space and sadly, some folks with nefarious and criminal intent are just waiting to eat all those ignorant and mostly greedy folks up. Get paid and pay with bitcoin sounds more better and is a more better approach to teaching newbies about bitcoin.
It’s not possible to get rich overnight with bitcoin and I dislike the fact that some folks see bitcoin as a get rich scheme and not as an alternative and somewhat better means of payment.

Get paid with Bitcoin and pay with Bitcoin. Focus into that and you will be fine. If you instead go for "get rich quick" rhetoric, it won't do. Unfortunately it is the latter that attracts more.

The fact that you can actually preserve wealth with it should be seen as a bonus, but its not the main purpose.

We don't know on what aspect he did the seminar, but it shows the active involvement of our forum users into spreading the word of bitcoin. For what reason the participants joined the seminar, we don't know. Somehow through the seminar they would've got some awareness and the need of bitcoin. Good that OP done everything himself for the event which is being misunderstood by some members.

It's always inspiring to read stories like this and see that this community has very proactive people who work on educating people about Bitcoin. I guess many felt conflicted about the word "sponsored" the op used, but from op's reply on this point it seems that it is sponsored in a sense that op sponsored the event (purchased the necessary materials and equipment for it). That's a great act, really.

OP You've done exceptionally well and contributed your fair share of bitcoin dissemination to the world. It is now up to those whom you have instilled knowledge in to take the appropriate action when they are fully prepared to enter the bitcoin world. Joining bitcoin requires a great deal of courage, patience, and understanding in order to flow with the market's volatility. They should take their time, join when they are ready, and conduct additional research to increase their understanding of it.

I agree.

I've seen those bad presentations that they think they should share it without thinking it first of how vast the knowledge they've got. I think it's all about being excited for those people that I've seen and they have the thought to share it to the others.

Otherwise, they have that pure intentions, hopefully those and the same what OP has did.

Yes, it was free because I personally decided to take up whatsoever it's going to cost me. I know this is a big opportunity for everyone that participated to enlightened them of what Bitcoin is all about and how it can help us to escape the vulnerabilities of holding and investing in local fiat currencies. The turnout was massive and many of them had to congratulate me for bringing Bitcoin to them in a simple and very comprehensive style. That was why I decided to make us of projector with so many materias they can read which I got from this forum.

Although I couldn't emphasized on that as I was supposed due to many reasons but I talked about wallet and what is required to have a wallet and other things. We have seen so many complains about hacked wallet due to different vulnerabilities both from the recipients and the core project team. One of the things that guaranteed out safety is having a suitable wallet like the cold wallet, that will be more difficult for hackers to penetrate. Thanks 👍 for this and I will throw more light when I initiate something like this again.


Wow I'm delighted to have a great support senior forum members always ready to help me out. Initially I thought of asking questions here on how to go about the seminar and the materials I could have used but I knew it will bring a lot of bone of contention that could discourage me from achieving this. If I had drop a post here for everyone perspectives, the ideas from ramdom bad posters could halt my interest but not withstanding I will give that a try in my next endeavours.

I did the research myself both with many random educational posts I encantered here and outside here to make it up. I also never bothered to disturbed anyone's dm for materials because I don't want to get tagged for unsolicited dm. Doing this alone took a lot of my time but still look strong with the help of your posts.

Hahaha, I am very happy to steal from your past ideas and posts that had given me the confidence to walk like a pro Bitcoin investor. Expect me in your dm anytime soon for ideas and materials that would make my future adventures quite easier 😊😊

Hmm, you are right boss 👍
I read many materials here, even from Satoshi before choosing the actual words to use to complete the material.
To limit my writing, I will consider more scrupulous attempt from you in my next endeavour. I choose learning from you guys 😊

I also considered your random posts before now. 👍

Good job man, I hope they will be able to have a clear view of bitcoins and that's all thanks for your help because right now, we need people like you who explain it to them well and they will gonna understand it in a positive way since nothing like a Ponzi scam involves and surely, you already made clear to them about the important things of having bitcoins as your assets. There are lots of people out there who want to know about bitcoins from the right source and they cannot find some trusted individual to explain it to them because if they cannot really comprehend the English language then it would be hard for them to understand even though we have lots of videos on Youtube.

This is really a nice initiative. I hope this is free? and also I see a lot of people, I hope that they go in that seminar in their own will because if not we know that they will still not be continuing to learn bitcoin. Anyways thanks for doing this, and congratulations on that seminar I am sure it is a huge success, I hope that this will still continue or you'll be conducting part 2 on this as it would really spread awareness to those people who really want to get into bitcoin or they are just putting their money into banks.

Original Poster, a lot of users are already making emphasis on what Bitcoin materials was passed across, it will nice to share if you see this.

I hope you threw more light in the aspect of the usage of Bitcoin and the importance and what benefits it give's them that banks don't.

I appreciate you for the little you have done, but do well to share as there is nothing wrong with that you stand a good chance to be guided and given proper corrections on whatever you have haven't done well. The feedback and questions from the audience also can be shared just if you don't know the right answer to give.

congratulations on the success of your seminar,

View of your goal makes this seminar on point
To educate people about what Bitcoin really needs.
what is there you  tell to your community?

as we know most people only provide the side of the benefits without providing risk information that can occur at one point in the future, and I hope you don't give false hopes to your community even though we know bitcoin has proven its capabilities in the last 10 years


can you share your seminar material here so we can also learn more about bitcoin

Or better yet, share the presentation or its content here, so that anyone who is interested can take a look at it and suggest corrections or alternative ways to explain things. Teaching people about Bitcoin is great, but teaching them badly or giving them incomplete information can create the wrong assumptions in their minds. I initially didn't notice the words "random sources" when I read the discussion. But the quality of information will greatly depend on what materials have been used to make the presentation. 

I think you should post a new thread and give us an outline of what you discussed. That way we can brainstorm together to improve the educational information that you provide to your audience. Not all the information posted here are correct, because this forum is full of Alt coin competitors and FUD armies that wants to spread misinformation.

If this is posted in a thread that are just focused on educational material, people here can battle it out to verify the validity of the information that are put out there. 

Keep it coming! Guys like you are an inspiration and setting a great example to others about teaching Bitcoin. It is also great that you are being sponsored for these events.

I do however not teaching Bitcoin only, but also generally about crypto. Been doing that since 2018 with barely have sponsors. Mostly coming out of my own pocket. The venue, transportation whether air, land or sea, food, hotel, etc.

“It’s like I’m an all-in-one package”

But did I complain? Did I regret my experience even if there are only few ones attending after all that I have spent both time and money? Nope.

Coz’ I am just being passionate that’s all. Starting next month I will resume again to educate in universities about Bitcoin, etc. Although there are a few community partners, but not when it comes to sponsorships so I do not really mind about it.

I keep going without expecting anything in return. It’s just that once I am passionate, it can’t be stopped despite the challenges.
