Sharing or teaching Bitcoin to other people or to us is not an obligation of the knowledgeable in this matter. Because I remembered my other relatives who are cousins, when Bitcoin suddenly kicked to 20k, each one of them unexpectedly chatted with me and asked me about Bitcoin because they knew I'm on it and they knew it's my source of income these days.
He asked me because he said he was involved in a Bitcoin investment and that he took out an amount of $400 during 2017, and when he told me that it was a company, I told him that the company's Bitcoin was only used as a front, so he should be careful because I told him that I earn Bitcoin but I didn't withdraw money, but I had Bitcoin. But he didn't listen to me, and he continued what he did, and after 2 weeks of the last time we talked, I heard that he cheated on her. The worst thing is that his friends who encouraged him felt sorry for him.
Topic: Teaching Bitcoin is not do or die (Read 1165 times)
i agree totally with what you said, due to the recent re- occurring activities that has happened in the crypto space, most people are afraid of investing their money in crypto currency, as i do tell people don't invest in something you don't understand, i always say study, learn, network with people that are doing well, pay for their class and learn, i don't force anyone to learn BITCOIN, when they see proof in your, they'll beg you to teach them.
Many people are afraid to invest on bitcoin because it is new to them so they need proper orientation or education on bitcoin for them. Others are afraid because if scammers. Yes it is not by force but people want to learn and no more but no one to teach and show them the road. I have met several people and I explained bitcoin to and most of them complaining that nobody has told them what I explained to them and that is why they have not invested in it. Bitcoin orientation or education is needed in the communities. Many people are out there to learn but non to teach them. So we should tell the important of bitcoin and the risk involved so that they will be aware. Like today I was tell a lady about bitcoin and she was interested to invest. She took my mobile number so that she can learn and invest in it.
I think that's just their reason, if they are really interested in bitcoin, really want to find solutions to improve their finances, they can learn everything themselves without anyone teaching them. Where did you learn about bitcoin and did anyone teach you in the early days? As for me, I research everything myself and learn from google, youtube and forums...no one teaches me, tells me about bitcoin or what I need to do...We are in an era where all information and knowledge can be easily found on the internet as long as we work hard. Don't give them a reason that just because no one taught them, they can't invest in bitcoin.
Well you are actually right, i also like the quote of "do your own research" because it's up to you and its your responsible for every decision you make, plus the fact that you could search everything in the internet nowadays. But we can't totally trust the internet nowadays now that Bitcoin existence for a long time, for sure there's a lot of false information, scams, hackers and etc. That you would have to face, even cents bad people won't hesitate to steal it from you. It's normal to feel scared in something you lack knowledge with, especially when it's money involved that we were talking about. They just need to find a reliable sources that they can trust or use, for example here in the forum, you could search existing thread from years that can still help these days. Still they need to do this on their own and experience it on their own, because it's up to their calls wether they profit or not.
I know that self-study will be very difficult and I will encounter the problems you mentioned in the process of learning everything about bitcoin. But I think those are the experiences we should go through if we really want to develop and make money in this market. If we don't dare to face even those things, how can we survive long in this market? Nothing is easy and neither is this market, the more we collide and fall, the more mature we become. I've also been cheated and failed many times, but I consider it a lesson and experience and don't see anything to be sad about. Without those lessons, I would not be able to achieve the achievements I have today.
In response to your point that pressure doesnt work, it brings up an interesting problem. No one can be forced to learn something they dont want to, but the draw of money can sometimes change people's minds. There is a fine line between promoting the benefits of Bitcoin and letting the possible learner make their own decisions.
Trying to force some to learn something especially Bitcoin is like investing on something you know won't produce anything positive, the best thing is to let them to choose if they want to learn or not.
Money is one huge factor that can not only change people's mind but the behavior of humans too, when someone who knows nothing about Bitcoin get to know that it can yield a lot of money it can make that person to do whatever it takes to get money to invest as long as it will bring x3 of his investment, he can steal to give it a try (that's where money can change the behavior of some humans), but he has no idea of what he's getting into.
this is why we should not force someone to learn the world of crypto. let them go into this market on their own accord and time. but if they are interested to learn more, they will be the one who will find ways how to enrich their knowledge on this market. also, they will know the risks involve as they won't stake their money without doing their own due diligence.
Is it even possible to force a grown-up adult to learn something that can better their lives? Inasmuch as I don't see the possibility, I do not also consider it necessary. Knowledge is important and personal, and anyone sacrificing his time and energy to pass Knowledge to others should be appreciated. If there is any form of force in the learning process, the receiver of the knowledge will not even appreciate the knowledge neither will there be any importance placed in it. The best approach should be that the receiver of the knowledge being convinced of the importance of the knowledge, that is the only way the knowledge will be appreciated and beneficial.
I could teach and am willing to discuss someone who asks and approaches me but I never say to them to rely on me alone instead, I encourage these people to go online and do research. Why? Because many things can be found that I miss to tell them.

Remember that knowing the theory and carrying out the practical will help you to have a proper knowledge on how to spread bitcoin awareness the right way,i.e you have the knowledge that it is long term investment that is more profitable and you have your bitcoin investment which you are holding for long,so that you can bring in more people into the bitcoin community.
Let's discuss
Whatever it is in this world, if it is coercion then it violates a person's human rights and freedom to choose, just pay attention, there are how many people around you who are enthusiastic when you explain Bitcoin to them, isn't that just a few! in my area, there are only a small number of people who are interested in bitcoin (that's when i put up a notification accepting payments on my small business with bitcoin), they are afraid and skeptical of bitcoin but i don't care what that means, bitcoin is already here heads of millions of people around the world, it's just a matter of what we who have already invested in bitcoin convince them, never giving up is good but don't just randomly tell everyone about things related to bitcoin, choose those who are really interested then you will be enthusiastic about telling that's all you know about bitcoin. Remember that knowing the theory and carrying out the practical will help you to have a proper knowledge on how to spread bitcoin awareness the right way,i.e you have the knowledge that it is long term investment that is more profitable and you have your bitcoin investment which you are holding for long,so that you can bring in more people into the bitcoin community.

Actually when we talk or try to explain about bitcoin people do not understand easily actually understand how we cannot represent properly those who can be properly represented are very interested here And by doing something well, it means that it is not the end. Actually, it is easy to convince others through my work through my success. Firstly, I have to prepare myself well People around will understand me and understand my system
The last thing is that many people do not want to understand the system due to lack of understanding and other surrounding reasons, but if we gain the ability to explain, and if we get the details through proper knowledge and proper advice, If I can explain it, it will be easy to understand and I have heard from all the people that are working or investing here now and I have come here to understand.Therefore, if you achieve success yourself, you will not do it without convincing, and you will turn back and forth.
It will be surprise for people who have not heard about bitcoin before, till now their people that always condemn bitcoin and try as much as possible to discourage people from investing in it, i feel sometimes is jealousy just because they don't have money to invest, we all know that bitcoin as its own risk but not as bad as people think at first some people even see it as a scam. But people are already knowing the value of bitcoin and no matter what anyone is saying bitcoin is interesting. And one thing I noticed about telling people about bitcoin you will easily know does that are interested, no stress even if they don't have money they will make it a goal they want to archive. They don't understand bitcoin and majority of people are just lazy of wanting to know more and does are people that eventually have problem when they start bitcoin because of the mindset they are coming in with which is not good for a trader. The last thing is that many people do not want to understand the system due to lack of understanding and other surrounding reasons, but if we gain the ability to explain, and if we get the details through proper knowledge and proper advice, If I can explain it, it will be easy to understand and I have heard from all the people that are working or investing here now and I have come here to understand.Therefore, if you achieve success yourself, you will not do it without convincing, and you will turn back and forth.

Obviously, teaching bitcoin and engaging into bitcoin is not a do or die. People will always have its freedom of choice whether they take part in bitcoin or just disregard it like most people did.
this is true you can teach someone about bitcoin but if they still have no interest in pursuing it then there’s nothing you can do anymore some people still believe that cryptocurrency is a scam and therefore doesn’t want to participate in it while some people have a hard time understanding the whole concept of investment or the market itself which will make it harder for them to be fully interested in bitcoin

I agree with you. Interest has a great role to play when it comes to how effectively one adapt into a new system and when you force someone into learning bitcoin when the person isn't even interested in bitcoin or anything crypto related, you will end up getting frustrated as the person might not put in the needed effort to get himself informed on the whole functionality of Bitcoin.
Let me use myself as an example, I had lots of friends that are into tech, most especially coding and programming, there job looks cool to me but when I try learning the stuff I discovered that it isn't my kind of stuff so I just told them not to stress themselves as I might not be able to put in the required effort that will make me a good programmer. On the other hand I had a prior knowledge on graphics and I enjoyed it while I was into the stuff. A friend introduced to UI/UX design and when I practiced it and discovered it sinked well with what I love. It took me just two physical lessons before I proceeded to learning most of the things all by myself.
What I'm trying to say is that, because you are into bitcoin and sees the future in it doesn't mean others should do same or that they will want to do same. Of course you can educate them about it but If they don't show serious interest in it, just let it be.

Yes I agree to this, because so many people have don't believe in bitcoin, they see bitcoin as a scam, so how will convince such people, I think that the interested person should raise the topic, I can say things that I know about bitcoin, investment or involvement in business is personal, people always want fault, this the reason you as a person should be careful because they are even ready to put into trouble, not minding your feelings, am ready to preach the little I know about bitcoin to people but it must be targeted at the interest individuals to save myself the unnecessary stress, Bitcoin has made itself available for people to embrace but you must be like concept before your involvement.
Obviously, teaching bitcoin and engaging into bitcoin is not a do or die. People will always have its freedom of choice whether they take part in bitcoin or just disregard it like most people did.

I don't know if I should share my personal reasons behind accepting Bitcoin.
First of all let me say that some friends from our village including me know and understand about Bitcoin.I decided that I would tell my family about Bitcoin and told them.After telling my family about Bitcoin they are very interested in learning and saying how to learn Bitcoin and is there any positive effect.In my family my younger brother is a bit more educated than my parents and I introduced him to Bitcoin long back.After learning about Bitcoin, he enthusiastically told me how to invest in Bitcoin or how to earn Bitcoin.
After I told my family they were talking to two other people about Bitcoin and even they became interested in Bitcoin.It was very nice then. But I didn't force them to learn Bitcoin, they wanted to learn on their own initiative or on their own.

Teaching good things doesn't harm anyone even though you're not interested in it but it helps them to become aware of it. It is simple, it gives them an opening idea that Bitcoin really exists and many people had already been involved with this. Maybe we could say that they are not interested upon reaching out and telling them today but can possible that they will change along the way after hearing it from us personally. In fact, we can't expect that those interested people will then start to invest and use Bitcoin, the same thing happen to those who are not interested.
Teaching and learning goes hand in hand, because you can be teaching and the nobody is paying attention. It all depends on if the person is interested in what you're teaching, to avoid being snubbed while teaching is best to let the individual know what you want to teach and how profitable it would be to him or her.
There's no amount of pressure apply to let someone learn something, if he or she chooses not to then you wasting your time and energy. In teaching Bitcoin, to me I don't think you should talk much while starting to convince anybody, talk less and watch the body language of the person, that alone would pass a message to let you know how interested the person is or not.

There are both negative and positive aspects to teaching Bitcoin. While this education will play a positive role for those who are interested to know, teaching Bitcoin to those who aren't interested can do more harm than good.
I am thinking, what harm can cause when a person shares information about Bitcoin with an uninterested person? I don't think any so I am curious what would it be.
So, when one tries to teach a person about Bitcoin one must first know that person's interest. As it is a matter related to money. So, if a person is advised to invest in Bitcoin even though he is not interested in Bitcoin related matters then he has to accept the responsibility if he faces any kind of loss. Due to which it can have more negative effects.
You cannot know if the person is interested if we don't share any information about Bitcoin. Though I agree that we should not waste our time teaching people who are not interested with Bitcoin because it will not produce anything good and might end up the person being annoyed because we are eating their time explaining unimportant things to them.
