Topic: Taking the awareness of crypto and Btt forum to the youths (Read 626 times)

Sorry, I forgot to address this part when I posted here earlier. For whatever you do, you shouldn't edit or delete the OP. It may come in handy when any of those you've introduced to this place could get their wallet addresses linked and tagged as alts whereas it could be as a result of other engagements. You've to sound that warning enough to your mentees to be careful around such happening.

"This forum isn't for earning purposes alone, here we can learn." I didn't want to distort your comment with that which I felt you omitted and that was why I didn't insert it in yours. It's a given that the original plan of this forum may not be to make people earn but learn. However, fortunately the forum is fulfilling both purposes now.

Well, there are many cryptocurrencies, and tbh quite a lot of them are short term and pump and dump coins, and they definitely have no future, Bitcoin is prolly the one cryptocurrency i can categorically state that it has quite a lot to offer globally in the future. Having said that, i don't think the forum is too hard to join, and you can always ask questions whenever you feel lost or don't understand anything, and i'm pretty sure you'd get answered, so newcomers should basically use the search button, as well as create topics to ask questions when they feel the need to, and they'd be just fine here.

That was an excellent job you did by spreading the knowledge of Bitcoin/cryptocurrency in the best way you could, but however, I don't encourage people to come to the forum just to promote bounties, because it's never worth the stress and time, and secondly, I always try to let people know that thou you could earn money from this forum, but it's not the primary reason why it was created, but to help aid Bitcoin discussion.


Yes, definitely it must be intimidating, because if it was easy everybody will be doing it, but because it is hard that's why we have got a few, because even life itself is not easy, but with determination and hard work anybody can do it

Cryptocurrency is the future, you are doing the right thing by telling the younger generation about it. This forum is not the easiest place to join: there are a lot of articles and topics, and it's easy to get lost here. But the one who is looking for knowledge will definitely find them here

I congratulate you on the good intention that you took the initiative to teach in that area, and it seems that I did not make a mistake when I went to the platform to find out what this bitcoin or cryptocurrency is that has been spreading in different parts of the country for several years and talking about it. And I also often hear and watch it on various of social media platforms.
And I think I will discover a lot here in this forum that will help me to deepen my understanding of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency.

I’d say congratulations in advance OP as your job will be given much appreciation once your students will gain more insights about crypto and the forum itself. The fact that you saw the interest and optimism in their faces, that will give you more courage to continue teaching them until they can start building their own career in crypto which is the bottom line here. Which I think will be very possible if you continue guiding them knowing there are also risks associated in crypto investments.

Hey OP, you have earned yourself one merit as a form of encouragement. I remember doing something similar and I can understand how challenging it is. Youths are the leaders of tomorrow today. While the older generation whose time is passing so fast may try to fight cryptocurrency however, the onus is on the youths to stand firm. I sincerely wish I could send you some resources curated by my bitcointribe book club for teaching young people about bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

Oh wow, that's really good I think since probably most of us here believe that cryptocurrency and blockchain are the future, therefore to continue our legacy to youth is really important. Young people who learn early about these would have so many advantages, and it's really kind of you to start from the young generation around you. I agree that it's crucial for people to understand the basics or fundamentals before jumping into the crypto world, and bitcointalk is a good bridge or the door for those people. It's not easy, but it's important. Me, I also have a youtube channel to share my knowledge and experience. I also explained about the bitcointalk forum there, especially for the beginners, so at least they have a basic understanding of bitcointalk and could minimize mistakes for newbies.

You're the one who's being hazy here. You talk of a career path in crypto. Be realistic yourself; there is no career path to be built here. This is a forum for heaven's sake. Do you build a career on a forum like this one?

Of course, you are obviously referring to joining bounties and other opportunities to earn here like joining signature campaigns. I understand that. So set it straight. After all, does this forum provide financial independence? No.

And it's you who are saying that this forum itself provides "moderate ways of learning Bitcoin and cryptocurrency." So we're not really talking of a career in crypto space. We are talking of earning money through this forum.

Bitcoin means profits for most of us so it’s always expected that people mostly come into the forum because of the profits that bitcoin could give. Particularly for newbies, I believe most of them are motivated with money only and they are only after with quick profits they hope to find in bitcoin. However, in reality, bitcoin is not as easy as that. Yes, there are really good profits to find when we talk of bitcoin but you also need to be knowledgeable and skilled  particularly in the bitcointalk forum because if you learned to understand the forum more deeply, the bigger chances that you will also learn to understand how to make easier profits with bitcoin and with the bitcointalk forum itself.

It’s good to see that more and more people become more knowledgeable and interested in crypto but I just hope that they are not here believing that bitcoin could be a source for quick profits. Because if that’s the case, instead of earning an income and making decent profits from bitcoin, they will experience losses instead because they keep on rushing to make instant profits, which I think is very impossible for bitcoin to reap instant profits.

I think  new members who survive in the forums are users who are ready and prepared to learn,  they know what they want from the forum that's why it takes them to sacrifice their precious to read different topics in the forum just to gain knowledge. I think those who quit from the forum they are not ready to learn and seems very difficult for them to spend time to read stuffs in the forum. Genuine members that has the zeal to learn in the forum don't force pressure their selves to be in the forum,  they have true love for reading.

I am having a pet project of my own, I have a course in Nursing science and we would get posted soon to a rural area and I noticed that they have issues with banking in the sense that the state government hasn't really made or created entry route or good motorable route making then cut out and there is no bank in the area. You have to take thirty minutes drive to any bank, but I notice the have good network.
So I am working on enlightening this community on the usage of crypto-currency in their day to day life, how they can buy stuffs, pay fees, send funds to each other, for those into gambling how they can do that online through crypto-currency and in general how Crypto can simplify that already complicated financial lifestyle they are living.

Currently I am in talking stage with the head of the community and when we reach an agreement I would give more details About This plan.

It always interest me to see when people take the knowledge they've got here home , Success without a successor is failure, this is step in the right direction , creating more Bitcoin awenes in your locale will help the water flow down hills.


Also let them know that Bitcointalk is not a making money machine, but rather a community to learn things about Bitcoin and related stuffs while on the process people that have the opportunity to join signature campaigns are rewarded with incentive due to their contribution to the community.
I suggest you take them step by step and not how to promote bounties first , this in my humble opinion should become last part of the information you will giving them, Then until when you start seeing the rate at which they've got knowledge about Bitcoin.

You made a good point here, Satoshi has done his part on both Bitcoin and BTT forum, it is now left to us. The unfortunate thing is that the BTT forum is far less popular compared to BTC. Many need this awareness truly, it still pains me that I did not join years back. We can keep making our awareness, and one day we shall get there.

Bitcoin is already popular, you need little awareness to convince people to join. You of all people should know that this forum is beneficial in terms of knowledge and other benefits of being a member. A lot of youths are posting in far less beneficial forums, so it will be easy to convert them here.

And you think everyone could go through all that? Let's be realistic, this topic is about forum awareness, don't let us take it out of that context. The forum has moderate ways of learning Bitcoin and cryptocurrency, anyone might do personal research if so desire to learn further.

Something will convince someone. To some people, the earning aspect, even the bounties, while it might be learning for others. Using both approaches to create awareness is not a bad idea, the choice lies with the person joining the forum.

Telling to the youth about crypto or Bitcointalk .org is very hard for me,  I don't know if on the other place it's easy to catch the attention of the youth about crypto but as I said it's hard in my place teaching about crypto or about this forum because people here in my place didn't know the truth about crypto because all they know is crypto is a scam because a lot of scammers here in my place using sites that contain crypto then scam many people so what is on the mind of many people here is crypto or Bitcoin is a scam.

   Since you mentioned youth week, I believe you guys may have exceed 10 in number. At start, I know is going to look bored to some of them, but I urge you to try your best until your aim is archived. You can creat a WhatsApp group and telegram group to enhance the information you will be giving to them. Some may have cultivated in their mind that the lecture you are giving them will make them get rich soon, also try to let them understand that the Bitcoin forum and crypto investment is not a get-rich-quick scheme. So that some don't misinterpret your teachings.

A lot of times where I heard people around me saying that bitcoin won’t last long because it’s a scam, although I always explain to them the facts about bitcoin. But I guess no matter how we tried to teach them,  we don’t have any hold to the people as to what they’ll end up believing, either they stick to their new gained information and become open to bitcoin or would still end up believing the old idea they used to believe. I’m just glad OP that you succeeded in your part and hopefully those young minds will continue to build their own names in bitcoin and become the next legends in the forum in the future.

We know eventually that bounties would not exist forever as they will also vanish in due time. But for now , they can still be a good source of living since the wage rate is higher compared when you are working in a regular 8 hour day job. However, it’s a good start to see them being aware about crypto this time since the world will definitely move into digital, that is why crypto will eventually become non stop and inevitable. Either these young individuals will take IT as their course in college, or other courses, I guess being aware about crypto is already an edge compared to those people who never have chances to know about bitcoin, maybe because they also chose not to do it.

Well done mate, hopefully your intentions will come to fruition, but it depends a whole lot on those being taught, if they actually have the desire to learn about Bitcoin, Bitcointalk forum and other whatnots, or if they are just seeking a means to an end (quick buck). Choosing a career path isn't quite an overnight thing, it takes quite some time for one to settle into what they like and intend doing for as long as possible, so most of them might not consider this a career path right now, maybe in the long term though, so don't let that bother you at all.

Having said that, overall it is a great initiative you have come up with, and i really do hope you get some interest from a couple of people to serve as an encouragement to do more, even down in the future.

Your intention is really good and impressive. However, let them be aware too that crypto is definitely not a get-rich-quick scheme as most of them would only want to enter crypto because there are huge profits waiting ahead. Of course its possible, but they should first give their wild efforts and persistency so they will succeed in the end. But above all, let them understand that crypto is not here to compete with fiat, as bitcoin will always be less effective unless the government starts supporting and adopting it.

I would like to appreciate the effort by OP to expose the existence of cryptocurrencies and the platform bitcointalk but I want to give a remainder as well, we have to keep bitcointalk as the discussion platform cause that is why Satoshi created this after creating bitcoin but later we see bounties and signature campaigns then it turned out more of a platform where someone can earn by posting which should be treated secondary only don't stay away from the actual reason.

this forum has a lot of knowledge i need including knowledge about cryptocurrency and some other additional knowledge. Members who interact in this forum are very active and will provide feedback when we start asking about things that are not understood. I also promote this forum to my friends and some of my friends started to be in this forum. those who survive certainly know what to do in this forum and those who quit they either don't find anything they need or can't survive and thrive.

This bitcointalk forum is not just an ordinary forum where people mostly interact, but it’s more of an avenue of building knowledge and developing skills because of the valuable information we gained from it. Thus, it needs to be more spread so that a lot of people will benefit from it. I’m glad OP you take the effort to let the people around you be aware of it.

It may not be easy to teach them about all of these, but they are the youths. As long as they are open-minded, have strong willingness to learn, not money oriented first, and also they are eager to get this, it will be easier then. The youth is our next generation, they should know and understand how this world going on. How the technology is always developing. ANd how great the blockchain technology, crypto industry, and also this forum. Exactly, this forum is a very special forum. Many people may meet difficulties being in this forum. But as long as we have the willingness to read and earn, this will be much easier. Moreover, we have seen so many people being successful in this forum. This means that it may not become the main focus, but this can be one of the factors to make the youths to be more on fire.

the main target here is bitcoin and not all cryptocurrencies, this forum is designed as a solution centre where all matters relating to the affairs of bitcoin network van be discussed, altcoins discussion was just an additional benefits for those interested in it,


though I don't know what this stands to reflect but i personally don't see it a good idea bringing crypto to church and also, fee days back another member talked  about it, about this same related topic of teaching bitcoin during Sunday school class in the church in which i also doubted but to say the fact bring crypto into church is not good enough in protecting the reputation with the church.

Crypto is wide, it presents plenty of opportunities and has become a home of job opportunities for many cryptographic programmers and developers and this forum is one the best place to start as a beginner, in fact, this forum is very friendly even though you have no knowledge about bitcoin, it naturally teaches you the basic and advances of bitcoin if you flow around the forum.
It is important you should also know that this forum isn't just the knowledge alone you will benefit, the local boards have unite a lot of people from different backgrounds with common goals, they are all here because of bitcoin.

You may have a good plan for your church members to learn about cryptocurrency and probably build a career in it either in blockchain, drafting or some other aspects which is good but I hope cryptocurrency is allowed in your country because if it is not you have already exposed yourself . Meanwhile this forum isn't particular about cryptocurrency but bitcoin. There are other forum where altcoins are main focus.

These two threads will be helpful

Topic: Some important bitcointalk [GUIDE] for beginners.

Topic: Unofficial list of (official) Bitcointalk.org rules, guidelines, FAQ.

OP took a very excellent initiative. I'm glad to see people introducing others to bitcoin and spreading awareness of it. It's encouraging to see that fresh graduates who haven't yet found stable employment are choosing the cryptocurrency market as a career route. In any case, it will help them meet their modest financial demands while they hunt for alternative sources of income, even if it is only as a side business.

Not everyone who has the opportunity to learn about cryptocurrencies will do so. If they are not convinced and informed the genuine facts about it, some people may be given misleading information about it, which will reduce their interest in investing in it after learning about it. I hope they realize this and completely embrace cryptocurrency into their lives. Bringing them to this forum and teaching them the fundamentals here will be a driving tool to shift their interest into it.

Be careful so you won't be starting your own farm of bounty/signature hunters and spammers. Bringing people on to the forum with the hopes of financial education is a wrong way to go about teaching people. I understand that your aim might be pure but humans are known to misused privileges been given to them so there's no guarantee that those you're introducing onto the forum won't want to misused the privileges over here.

For career path in crypto industry, if you truely want to succeed then you have to look beyond the forum as the opportunity here are limited. Signature and bounties participations should never been considered a career path. The best way to excel in the career aspect of this industry is by having a skills that you can sell as service for some cryptocurrency and I don't think the best paying ones are on the forum. The Forum is just a tools for learning about Bitcoin and hanging out with like minds.

You are doing a great job OP. Even though sharing some knowledge could lead also to rejection and non believers.  I am sharing too on my friends whom dont have knowledge with it and so far only some of them believes me until now.  Well they only get attentive when the hype on axie infinity roam around the globe.  Thats where they saw that cryptocurrency has a nice application to real world.  I am looking forward to blockchain dominance and how it can help us even more than simply a financial alternative without much restriction.

I laughed after seeing this last quote because I have had a similar experience. Although I am the one in the first instance who didn't see the importance of this forum talk until much later when I had a job. my bill kept rising, but the person who introduced me to this forum encouraged me to persevere as I could learn and invest some cash so as to have an alternative to salary. Fast forwarding today, I have learnt more than I believe I could learn and have gotten to understand most terms I found confusing. Not only the youths should be taught about crypto, the children who can read and write should be taught as well. Crypto is the future of finance and commerce.

OP, I saw through your good intention of wanting to help those around you know about Bitcoin and at the same time also achieve financial independence. However, let me give you heads on on this so you won't be taken aback. I suffered rejection from those I thought I was bringing the Bitcoin news to five years ago. In my excitement of the discovery of what Bitcoin was from my little knowledge, I approached those friends of mine to spread the good news. They wanted an instant show of result from my engagement in Bitcoin in terms of what I achieved financially since I was already in it. They didn't see any flashy stuff around me and so they didn't get interested because it wouldn't make them instant money. Fast forward, a few of those friends who rejected me are now coming back to it. I'm insisting on charging them a fee now if I must teach it to them. They lost it the first time when it was freely given, now they've to pay for it.

If you want to help these young people discover or develop their interest in crypto and build a career out of it, perhaps you might want to encourage them to take up computer science or IT courses. Many universities have already incorporated blockchain and crypto in general in their curricula. The knowledge that they could get from this forum would somehow prepare them or serve as foundation for their future career paths.

But if what you refer to as "economic productivity" in this forum is by joining "bounties," I'm afraid you're not really helping them build "a career path in the crypto sphere."

This forum is a good place to start learning about Bitcoin, cryptocurrency (alternate cryptocurrency) and some helpful supplementary such as security, privacy, etc.

If one can learn and mature well in knowledge and skills from the forum, I am sure there will be lot of opened gates in crypto career. Just I hope nobody grows from this forum will turn to be a scammer. Building up yourself here and find jobs here or beyond it, but please don't use your reputation here to scam elsewhere.

The youths are future of the world and cryptocurrency world too. The Bitcoin demographics will become younger and younger with time and it will help the increasing adoption of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency.

Well in the end it can't be prevented as long as the forum still has a bounty section. I understand that a lot of people here have taken forum as a side job that makes a few bucks to help them make ends meet. I wouldn't blame them for this but when they all end up in the wrong section then in the end they will never get any good knowledge other than just a few bucks off a non-potential altcoin.

We've actually touched on this issue a few times where we sometimes give some advice so that beginners don't fall into the false expectations of many altcoin projects. Some beginners manage to develop their skills even they manage to have their own business by adopting bitcoin, but that's only a small percentage of people.

Good initiative, but I do hope that you focused on what they can learn from bitcointalk and not on the ways to earn from it via bounties and signature campaigns because so many users got stuck in altcoin section doing bounties fro years, without ever realizing that bitcointalk is so much more than a cash cow. Don't get me wrong, its ok to mention that aspect of this forum as well as it will certainly attract some people (especially in developing countries) but it shouln't be a sole reason to register here.

My only concern when it comes to success in attracting younger audience to bitcointalk is that for majority of them forum is too slow so they rather prefer Telegram/Twitter and other "faster" ways of communication.

Nothing good comes easy without the tough decision to excel in it. Impacting knowledge on a group of people doesn't look that simple. I already know about that. I have started this initiative, am not intending to stop soon. I will keep spreading the awareness of crypto and the Btt forum to who's ever I get in contact with.

Am willing to take them through the journey and guide them without relenting while I keep building me. I have highlighted topics to lecture them on crypto and how to be relevant in the forum. They are not registering on the forum yet until I have impacted enough knowledge of what they should know about crypto and the forum

Alot need to be done in this direction, don't think is an easy job and if I must advise you I will say you should pay more attention to developing yourself and making yourself a role model, that is have a life in cryptocurrency that will serve as a motivation for them. I have tried to educate some forks around and have also made an attempt to get some of them registered on this forum, but what I discovered about most of them is that everyone thinks and takes Bitcoin as some get quick scheme and in that loses motivation when they're discovered that if you must make anything out of cryptocurrency then you have to invest some time and money into the learning process. And Bitcoin only rewards those that make an input and not free money grabbers.

Your initiative is good,  and one that is highly encouraged,  but I must correct you on something which I feel is very important.
I feel that when ever we are educating our friends about crypto and presenting this forum to them as a place to learn more about bitcoin and crypto currencies,  we should always rule away the bounty part of it,  this is one of the reasons why we have so many spammers on the forum,  they register/sign up on this forum for bounty purposes alone, and not to contribute or learn anything meaningful on the forum.
So I think it is high time we stop introducing bitcointalk to our friends as a forum where they can make money in bounties,  introduce the forum to them as place where they can learn about bitcoin ~ if they are new to cryptocurrencies and a place where they can share their crypto knowledge ~ if they are already into crypto currencies before.

I think the OP has a good initiative here by spreading awareness about opportunities and knowledge enhancement, business and career opportunities on bitcoin forum. I believe that from a financial point of view that this forum as well as crypto have helped people have a better financial situation and early adopters are no exception. I believe your initiative will more or less help them know about bitcoin or crypto in general, but of course you will not be held responsible for their ability to persist and understand it well.

But unfortunately, the habit of the community that is formed because of the basic desire to make money will be the beginning that plunges them into various scams when they only care about money without much curiosity about knowledge. They just spamming this forum, they don't care about the quality of the posts and they start thinking that having more account will make them rich faster than forever depending on real work. This is the negative impression I've ever thought of from the crypto community out there especially when they make this forum a place to make money.

I am happy  to have read this particular paragraph about your aims and adjectives.

First, if you introduce them into the forum without telling them the necessary rules and regulations, within a few week, majority of them would be banned from the forum. The few that will escape ban might find it difficult to excel in the forum and eventually leave. So, it is important to educate them about the forum.

Secondly, enlighten them about Bitcoin and neutralize the mindset of get rich quick scheme, then teach them the real things of bitcoin, many could find career here. Crypto is relatively new and may evolve into wonderful things than we could think in the future.

It is a good thing you have in mind, but I must also remind and advice you to be careful and cautious as you introduce cryptocurrency to your friends. Cautious in the sense that as you talk about crypto and have highlighted its potential to affect ones financial situation positively, many of them may be eager to want to skip to the part where you tell them how exactly to gain and may urge you to give them some financial advice, however tempting, you must avoid that urge to give financial advice to them as you talk about crypto, so tomorrow if it doesn't go their way, they wouldn't have you to blame and your relationship will be save.

Good initiative. I don't have this kind of opportunity to lecture about cryptocurrency in my country since it's prohibited to use here. But I had tried to introduce this forum to my nearest persons. But sadly they don't spend time here nor much interest. Everyone just looks for money which is impossible from here for a beginner. This forum isn't for earning purposes, here we can learn.

Anyway good to see you have chances to share about the forum and cryptocurrency publicly. The next generation should know about cryptocurrency very well.

The hard part is taking young people who don't know anything about crypto and then providing understanding until they are interested and join. You really have to explain the basics of cryptocurrency knowledge, because they must have a foundation on how crypto works, what crypto is and how its history is, all of which must be mastered.

and in the next lecture, you only need to provide some additional material about this forum and what its advantages and disadvantages are. Do not describe this forum as a place to make money, because if the initial description is like that, they are beginners only focusing on how to make money on the forum rather than learning how to be a good member and can contribute a lot to the forum.

Just look at how the newbie ranks on the forum, they disappear one by one and those who survive will certainly become qualified candidates.

this is a tough task for you, but I'm sure you will get positive value from what you do. it's not only in your interest, but more in the common interest to make everyone aware of cryptocurrency, bitcoin and its technology, and about this forum. Good job and do your best.

In 2021 I joined this forum as a graduate, having a small-paying job. This forum has exposed me to the fundamentals of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency, and how to enhance economic productivity in my daily life.

This forum is Satoshi Nakamoto’s second great invention: a well-thought idea that was initiated to enhance our crypto knowledge.

We had youth week in our church last week and we were asked to share ideas and knowledge. I tend to use the opportunity to lecture them about crypto, but last week I talked about the Bitcoin Forum, and how it is similar to our church group. There, we created a platform that will foster training in crypto, empowerment, mentorship, growth and networking for young people to collaborate on ideas. Like the forum, this will help get everyone achieve financial independence and the knowledge of crypto within and beyond our immediate environment.

The desire to help these young people navigate through a career path in the crypto sphere through this forum is my vision to accomplish. I want my friends and well-wishers to know about crypto. That's why I came up with the plan to introduce and tell the youths about crypto, the forum and the rules and regulations governing it.

Getting positive results of how eager they are willing to join and attain knowledge in crypto wasn't that easy because I started with the basics of crypto to lecture them, the forum ranks, merits, how to post and promote bounties, and the rules and regulations and so on. It is intimidating for many.

However, I am happy about how far I have gone with them on the platform, and we are very grateful to God that the awareness may turn into a successful mission.

We hope by the end of it, the exposure to crypto and the Bitcoin forum will be magnificent. That many will find a career path in this field, as it presents a rare but available opportunity to advance into financial well-being.
