Topic: Privilege to teach Bitcoin in church - page 3. (Read 654 times)

So the mass is over and you just stay after the mass where you take the opportunity to teach about Bitcoin, I understand.

I just didn't see clearly how to combine faith with Bitcoin.

It is Nigeria, isn't it? From what I see you write on the local board. What is clear to me is that you are a very large community on the forum and that Bitcoin is very widespread in the country, besides several of you have initiatives like this to popularize it.

Keep up the good work!

I don't know how many users of this forum in your country have the same idea of ​​teaching bitcoin to people and posting their activities here as a contribution effort. Your idea deserves appreciation and you should get hundreds of merit for the effort, time and money you put into making this class a success, but sadly so far none of them are interested. While some time ago someone managed to get noticed despite only teaching kids under 18 about this decentralized currency who in the end ^{[most likely]} difficult become a potential user in the next 5 - 10 years as a potential investor or forum contributor.

I tend to like this idea outside the context of individual businesses or profit-seeking groups, so if you sincerely want to teach them about bitcoin, then I think you deserve great appreciation. My main point here is not about merit, but your efforts are worth it as you will probably bring more potential people to the forums and markets when they realize that bitcoin is a profitable asset. The main problem is, not everyone is interested in the same idea even though the main cover is different from one another. OP, I wish you all the best.

That's a good idea if your purpose is to educate them, we've seen many churches now accepting Bitcoin as a donation and it might be good if they even know basic technical knowledge about Bitcoin and how it'll work.  It's also awareness to them, you can give them as an example that there's a church now accepting Bitcoin as a financial donation or transaction and it might your church will do the same.

I didn't see any wrong if you'll discuss this in your church, Bitcoin is not a curse to be feared, yet, it's an advantageous technology that can be useful to anyone.

In my country churches have made big changes in the society providing education. Maybe here it is little different, but something after the regular service is good. People need to know about everything happening around and the same will create awareness and according to their need one can make use of it.

Actually it is not what you think, church service is over it is just my group people and moreover we didn't transact any business but just knowledge that will be useful for them. These same church people are the people you see on the street,Bitcoin can be taught anywhere as long as it is about giving the awareness, have you read my previous thread on teaching bitcoin in schools,I will give the knowlege to the general public. we make donations in church and give money for charity in the church,so teaching bitcoin is like a charity work because if the knowledge is acquired they will be save from the fiat currency and will benefit them

I totally go against teaching bitcoin in the church, a place of service isn't a business or e-commerce trade zone where financial empowerment is taking place, moreover there's a topic already created that talks about this same idea Bitcoin Class in the Church (14TH August, 2022 so I don't know if you're the one having a piracy to the topic to phish for merits or same person indulging under a covering, if you must teach bitcoin, go to the street, neighborhood, market, companies and organizations and introduce bitcoin to them, lastly make use of the search button to check for related topics being already discussed

 It was not easy for me in this gathering to give a talk on Bitcoin to members of a group I belong to in my church. I thought of how I can get elderly people to have the knowledge of bitcoin,an idea came into me  that I should first start a class with the elders ones in my church.
  I attend roman catholic church, i belong to one of the well known society in the church (church warden) our work is to keep the church in order during celebration of the holy Eucharist. we do have our monthly meetings,it was held today Sunday 2nd October.

  During our meeting last month,I raised an issue about giving a talk on bitcoin after the major issues in our next meeting have been trashed out. I tried to convinced Sir Anthony Udon who is our chairman,that our meetings should be an atmosphere of learning something new happening in the world today,this will enhance the church warden to have new members and also make old members regular in monthly meetings. I also stated that the meetings shouldn't be based on only the issues of the church but it should also be about the welfare of the members by teaching and assisting the members on other aspect of life which they are unaware of,since the church is part of the society. He said NO,there will be no time for this because the church members of the neighboring communities belonging to the group will in attendance, since it will b a general meeting and we are the host church.
 
  Sir Udoh's son is my friend, I do tell him about bitcoin and answers any question he asks me on bitcoin,I have even told him about this forum but he said he is too busy with work,when he is ready for bitcoin he will be involved. We do see very often,so I pleaded with him to talk to his dad over my request of giving the privilege to give a talk in our next meeting which he accepted.
  Last weekend in the church,Sir Udoh told me to be ready to give the talk as he has considered my request,since members from other communities will be present,it will be nice for such to be included in the agenda of the meeting, to show a difference from other meetings they have been attending,he said all these. He gave me just one hour to talk on bitcoin. The time was too small after much thought, I decided to print a guide on Bitcoin basic concept which I shared to everybody present in the meeting today,so that they can easily go through it as I am explaining to them and keep it to themselves in order to read over again and again should in case the person have an interest later.

It was quite easy for them to understand because 60℅ of them came with android phones connected to the internet. During the talk I showed them on phone,which they praticalise themselves especially the wallet aspect. I told them about btt forum.
 After the meeting,two youths met me that they appreciated the knowledge and will love to learn more,I then introduced them to the forum and how to register to become a member of this lovely community. A business man asked if he can buy his goods abroad with bitcoin and I said yes but he needs to confirm first from his customer accepts bitcoin.

The elderly ones where confused first,but when I taught them one on one after the meeting, few picked interest and said technology is wonderful with smiles on their faces. We were 36 in attendance. This is how far I have gone in spreading bitcoin awareness in my locality,I  still remain humble in spreading bitcoin awareness voluntarily.
