Topic: My first sponsored Bitcoin seminar - page 3. (Read 640 times)

Good Objectives OP. Many people know about the name bitcoin, but not really about bitcoin, Many have the surface knowledge about the subject as well, but no real in depth knowledge about bitcoins. Your timely seminar has to extent assisted in reducing the misconceptions and the number of persons with some half-baked knowledge. This is your first as you have mentioned, I hope you find it possible to hold a second and continuously, to keep positively making your objectives solid.

Thank you for your contribution.

This right here is my caution to advisors of bitcoin. It is a great thing that some people took it upon them selves to spread it adoption. But the information handed out during the awareness sections by some need to be questioned. My first introducer to the bitcoin world only spread its profit part something like me gaining in every raise of it. And this has seriously drive people to put in there entire savings to maximise profits.

Things like store of value and its ability to hedge a little against inflation than fiat are the first lesson. Its risk lesson could be thought after the learner gets more knowledge why he needs to move away from fiat then subsequently security and other protective guides. Nonetheless kudos to the advocators

Thank you for spreading knowledge, but random sources from the Internet may lead to incorrect information, why not ask us to help you prepare a presentation, we will give you better sources and discuss the information to simplify it and make sure it is accurate.
I am also impressed by the number of attendees and they seem to care about bitcoin.

OP you did a good work. The task is not that easy as they think. Setting up this seminar alone shows your passion for promoting Bitcoin to the world. This little work you have done would definitely yield results positively. Looking at the background,  I saw curious gestures from participants in the seminar. I believe they have been fully imparted with the knowledge of Bitcoin. If I may ask did you put them through the setting up of their various wallets and another these people you gather what's categories of Field do they belong to. When I mean field, I mean their works, businesses etc and how can they be able to comprehend the trends of Bitcoin if incorporated into their various businesses as I see the  the seminar is not a just normal or random type.

Why do you think he will force or entice people to buy bitcoin? This is a bitcoin seminar, that means he is trying to teach people about bitcoin, not a workshop on a Ponzi project to lure people into investing in a scam project for profit. In the end, even if people did buy bitcoin, he would not benefit from it, so there is no reason for him to make them buy it.

Educate them about bitcoin, and it's up to them whether they use bitcoin as a means of payment, as an investment tool, or as a means of storing assets.

In general, it's good. But it will totally depend on how the person presents Bitcoin. It's great if the person focuses more on the actual uses and importance of Bitcoin, while it can be very bad if the person focused on making money and stuff.

Bitcoin should never be forced onto people. That's what the government is for - to force you to adapt to what suits them or what they call a greater cause. People are supposed to make the switch voluntarily and naturally after learning the difference between bitcoin and traditional finance. Understanding that you need nobody else but yourself to move money to any place in the world is a powerful message. All we can do is to educate and share information about the advantages of this alternative financial system. But like satoshi himself said in a post, "if you don't understand it, I have no time to explain it to you". I am sure I got the quote wrong, but it's something like that. 

This is a selfless act that is worthy of emulation. From what I have seen it might be possible that you rented the space for the seminar and brought it all necessary technological tools that is needed to make this seminar a reality. I am always happy when I see persons that are eager to publicize and attract people to the bitcoin ecosystem by creating awareness about this priceless currency.

Most of them might not understand the concept of bitcoin at that first meeting, that is why I am suggesting that you create a platform where the participants can still contact you and ask questions. This platform would serve as a medium for exchange of ideas and information. This will at least give them more foundational knowledge about bitcoin and would also assist them to take the decision of joining the bitcoin ecosystem. 

Congratulations Mate.

Congratulations on this feat, and it will help more peeps who are not only ignorant but apathetic to the knowledge and usage of the coin. From what you observed as positive results from your participants, you said you noticed a willingness from them to be a part of the Bitcoin bandwagon. Might I ask, where they informed on the use of cold wallets? Because this would eliminate any fear of their coins being stolen once it has been purchased.

Congratulations on your seminar and I hope you can continue what you have done by introducing bitcoin to more people and holding the next seminar. If you are serious about imparting knowledge and teaching about bitcoin based on what you know, they will be enthusiastic about learning with you. And that will make bitcoin's popularity grow among them and be accepted as a way to invest. Teaching them more knowledge and emphasizing to look for more information out there and always share will make them understand the benefits of bitcoin so that it can change their life too.

I don't know why others don't think that this is a good idea. It takes time, bravery and encouragement someone to have his initiative to do such activities like this, a seminar.

He's just spreading awareness and helping people to be educated about bitcoin. And that's the good thing there, it's not just all about bitcoin as an investment, he also mentioned bitcoin adoption for which it could be the part of why bitcoin has been made, the main purpose of it which is as a payment.

Keep it up Bushdark, well done mate.

According to the scope of his lecture. He focus on the definition and use case of Bitcoin and not on the price. This is a good introduction when teaching a zero knowledge listener on the subject.

I’m curious on the content of the materials that given to the attendees. I hope it really focus focus on the technology and utility rather than the price talks which usually the common intention of the participants.

Congratulation on a successful Bitcoin seminar.  What do you mean by sponsored Bitcoin seminar?  Are you saying you got paid doing this seminar?  I hope this isn't some company orientation where people are required to attend before investing into some Ponzi scheme.  Sorry to be a bit negative but I have heard of lots of fraud company sponsoring cryptocurrency seminars so that people will think that they have legit business involving with cryptocurrency.  After Bitcoin and cryptocurrency discussion, where they emphasize on the growth of Bitcoin and several people who got rich because of Bitcoin.  And when people got amazed and emotional on how people who engage in Bitcoin get rich, they will then present their marketing plan enticing people to join their scheme.

Anyway, I hope your kind of session isn't like that one.


This is a great thing to do I admire you having this kind of compassion in promoting Bitcoin

I believe you will educate people in the right way, not only focusing on the profit that they can have and also give them the risk of involving in scam company that exploit Bitcoin.


Hopefully you can guide them to the right kind of adoption and educate them about Ponzi scheme company that pretends to be affiliated or engage in Bitcoin trading and other activities when the truth is they are just around to milk unwary investors of their money.

Great one there, but I hope you didn't force any of those viewers and learners to invest in Bitcoin.

Tell and teach them not to focus on the volatility of the fluctuating price of Bitcoin but to gradually buy little Bitcoins.
Storage of these Bitcoin and Privacy should have at least been communicated, avoid what they call exchnages at all cost, they are no different from banks.

Government are behind it all but no matter what they do to increase the hike rates, Bitcoin still surpassed all of the fiat currencies.
Thanks for making awareness about Bitcoin at your corner, Adoption of Bitcoin will take some time Bitcoin is still very early.

That's great cause people are keen into Cryptocurrency and Blockchain than ever before cause people want to learn technology, cause they know future.
A man who learns about Bitcoin and crypto knows the future of Cryptocurrency. That's same case with me cause my whole life has been changed since I have gotten into Cryptocurrency. Crypto made me self independent.

Bitcointalk had been an eye opening for me even though I don't come here that frequent. I had read through many post here and learnt new things about Bitcoin and how the system works which had ameliorate my interest to educate people around me about what Bitcoin  entails. I had been thinking of how to present Bitcoin and it technology to people around me in a different comprehendible manner but I was still not convinced until I took the courage to bring it to them in a simple way using PowerPoint.

Since I have some of my friends and people who will love to learn new things especially about monetary technology, then I told the boldness to prepare a PowerPoint presentation from random sources online to explain to them on what Bitcoin really entails. I was able to explain in details on what Bitcoin is and how it could affect us positively if we pick interest in it.


WHAT INSPIRED ME
I see it as a burden to me when people keep investing and holding fiat even when inflation keep rising without having a better alternative to invest their funds. Fiat keeps losing value with more threts to employees. We all know that Bitcoin is very volatile and this had been keeping the price to fluctuating creating the overbought and oversold gap. I see a great fortune investing in Bitcoin which was one of the reasons that complelled me to keep advocating about Bitcoin so that people could see the light.

MY OBJECTIVES

BTC To promote Bitcoin awareness.
BTC To educate people on what Bitcoin really entails.
BTC To increase the adoption of Bitcoin.
