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. 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.

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.

It's so simple, despite the clamour for mass adoption bitcoin isn't for everyone and this impression should be a reality that forges us all to focus on the few community of those that are interested and want to learn and gain from it. Exerting energy on disinterested confused people with a negative mentality about bitcoin is just but a waste of energy and time that is supposed to be given to those that are very much interested about the knowledge.

It's only when you're giving out something that's a scam that you will have to pour our energy explaining back and forth to convince your victim but in this case the awareness and knowledge of bitcoin is a life changer and should be giving to those that accepts it voluntarily only such kind of persons can really value it and make good use of it.

when bitcoin started it was not given the value it deserves and people were actually surprised, bitcoin has gained very good attention and has become hot cake to purchase, true that not everyone will be interested but does that actually understand it and know its benefits won't joke with it, and the aspect of forcing people to invest in bitcoin is far gone since bitcoin has the issue of instability, once the price does not favor them then they start blaming you, the best thing should be that they invest at free will, and once they are interested you tell them the dangers involved in bitcoin.

So now who isn't interested in bitcoin when you see the price and its spikes every year. Bitcoin always reaches its highest price and gives a lot of profit. Forcing someone to invest in bitcoin is not justified because it will blame you when they lose. But now bitcoin investment is a mandatory investment when hearing about crypto, even though crypto has many types of coins. People who don't like bitcoin because they don't understand what bitcoin is and its benefits, if they know then they will immediately join and start pioneering bitcoin from scratch.

If they only know that bitcoin is the future, then no one’s gonna give a doubt on bitcoin investment. But no one will believe that unless they gained deep understanding on the concept about bitcoin, otherwise they will always be hesitant and doubtful investing in a highly volatile market. However, I still believe investing in bitcoin should never be forced or done with convincing, because of the reality that bitcoin no matter how profitable it is, we still can’t predict rightly as to when we’ll gonna be in profits.

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.

I guess that's why they say experience is always the best teacher and letting the person experience everything in the crypto world by themselves for me is Ok but I feel everyone should be guided if they persist on learning because a little guidance can go a long way but i guess it's for only folks that actually shows interest because you can't guide a crypto(BTC)hater or convince them about crypto(BTC).

If you only show the positive picture of Bitcoin's price and try to hide the downward moments of the market then you are doing even worse. Those people if lose half of their capital during a bull market would never trust Bitcoin investments again.

And I think that's the exact point where the O.P of this thread is driving to, that is, those who only speak of the good side of Bitcoin and not the negative sides so as to create balance in whoever pick interest in it and decide to invest in it. Because I have a friend of mind who approach me last week telling me of his interest to invest the money he intend to use for his traditional marriage in Bitcoin rather than leaving in bank, that like how much profit can he get for investing $500 after 2 months time. And I just have to be plain to him that Bitcoin is not like a Ponzi scheme where you could invest "X" amount of dollar today and except to earn a reward or profit of "Y" amount in either weekly or monthly, which in most cases likely to end up being a scam. But I was able to tell him that Bitcoin is a volatile digital currency whose price value likely to rise or fall, depending on the demand & supply, and a good option for a long term investment & other benefits, but how much he could make in 2 months time is what I dont know, as he could likely make profit or lose. And since then I'm yet to hear his final decision.

When giving advice to someone, all possibilities should be mentioned. This behavior also shows how much we value that person. It's easy to say, invest and you will definitely win. But what if it doesn't? We can upset that person and cause them to lose money on the investment.

When someone who wants to invest but has no knowledge asks us a question, we should first explain the risks. You have given your friend good advice. Tell him that the final decision is still his.

As the OP said, I think it's a big mistake to teach Bitcoin by force. For someone who is not interested in Bitcoin, trying too hard can have negative consequences. If they invest and lose, Bitcoin becomes something to fear for them.

You're right, pal. Anyone who thinks they can double their money overnight with Bitcoin is looking for horses. Bitcoin buyers have patience, know how the market works, and believe in it. Understanding matters, right? Especially for big purchases. Can you picture the shock of discovering that the Bitcoin you bought years ago for a few dollars is now worth a lot? It could go either way. Its equally crucial to explain the hazards as the advantages. In crypto, we need solid people with balanced views. Share the positive

The point here is not to force others to learn about bitcoin. When they really have no interest in bitcoin, whatever you do to pique their curiosity is counterproductive; sometimes it makes them hate it and look at you with eyes like you are a fin scammer. Change the subject immediately if they don't like it. Perhaps just teaching and guiding those who know how to find it will be a better thing. Anyway, we need to be effective, not cram for everyone.

In addition, we should not condemn too those people who show no interest to bitcoin. Simply because they have their own reasons and their own beliefs, hence they deserve respect too. And to think that it’s not our loss but them, so we should only focus sharing our insights only to those who are hunger to learn because for sure they will also promote it to their peers once they are knowledgeable enough to do it. Yes, teaching bitcoin is not a do or die, that’s why we should not force people to learn about bitcoin if they don’t have the will and interest to learn.

I agree, we have no right to condemn people who don't trust or do not show interest in Bitcoin. Each person has their own preference, some may not trust a decentralized system since they are more comfortable under centralized government because they feel more secure when there is a third party assuring them of their safety especially when their financial assets have insurance that the decentralized network can't give.

I support, some people talk about those who don't show interest in Bitcoin as if they won't make it in life or as if they have a doomed future waiting for them, there are many ways out there that one can take to achieve the greatest financial freedom, everything must not be through Bitcoin investment only, it's why I don't support those saying we should teach kids about Bitcoin and how important it is, they should just know, but it's not important for the kids as if they won't make it without Bitcoin investment.

Our children are our future, they will grow up to solve problems that their old generations can't solve, many challenges are waiting for them and many in revealed innovations are still yet to come, Bitcoin is really not a do or die.

100% right about that. You don't force people to accept things, it's all about choice. In my family, I'm the only one that's interested in Bitcoin and cryptocurrency. Fact being that I'm the only one too that's interested in doing online stuffs, the jobs I do are online, but that's not the same with my family members; they are all into normal businesses and Bitcoin is the last thing they want to use for their businesses, plus they are not a big fan of investment. Convincing them is just like a waste of time, they just prefer the normal bank account that they are using, and I am not going to force them, as long as everyone is fine with what they are into and it's working for them, then great, we good to go!👍

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.

Theory and practice will always go hand in hand, both must be studied in order to reach an appropriate decision regarding the choices we make. If we have studied both correctly then getting involved in bitcoins is not difficult because we have a general idea regarding the processes that occur in the market for bitcoins. Therefore, in-depth knowledge is needed before getting involved in an investment, so that all forms that occur can be minimized as small as possible in order to avoid losses.

Bitcoin is indeed more reliable in long-term investment, apart from that we don't need to worry about its journey in the market because we hold it for the long term. There is no reason to force people to get involved in investing, because the decision is up to each one and with knowledge they will find excess bitcoins to invest.

Bitcoin is a resource that brightens people's future. Because once a person invests in Bitcoin, there is no need to teach the person a second time because he himself is engaged in research. But we need to discuss first by teaching the interested person about the bitcoin community through discussion. Already around 55% to 60% of people around the world know at least some information about Bitcoin and most of them are involved with Bitcoin. Even in countries where Bitcoin is not legal, thousands of people are secretly using Bitcoin. Now people are more towards modern age so it is natural to be attracted to Bitcoin. And we have to discuss more about investment invitations.

I also believe that teaching about bitcoin is not dead it gives more investors common sense everyone works independently and is not accountable to anyone. Many people have no idea about bitcoin if they learn about bitcoin from now then they can control everything in the next step. There will be no problem financially as for the advantages of bitcoin I would also like to say that there are very good opportunities to earn through bitcoin. Those who do bitcoin mining, they earn a good amount of money through mining. There are also many who see bitcoin as an investment the future of bitcoin is very bright and it is likely to go higher in the future.

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. However, if people will be a lot wiser and would be goal driven, then at least they should learn bitcoin and all its life’s benefits in the future. Bitcoin could be our future when fiat comes to depreciate, so at least we’re taking an edge over others.

A wild dream I suppose but its kinda okay to dream because we can assume what we feel might happen in years coming but I doubt if bitcoin can be world reserve as I take its what you are trying to say. But no doubt bitcoin actually has major role to play in the future in our various field of life especially the finance world.

For sure, we will be cashless in the future, and if the Bitcoin wasn't used, it was their model, or that's where they derived it, because we are now in the age when people want to use only cards, QR, or cash less as they don't want to bring those bills or coins as it can be a faster transaction like there's no change, just use the phone and pay. We really don't know what will happen to Bitcoin in the future, but what I am sure of is that it will hit ATH again in a few years.

I don't think bitcoin has ever been here to make any one money. Bitcoin has got a lot ot purpose but making you kidney isn't one of it. Only you can get to make you money and so, you have to be on point on all your doing and have a plan towards archiving desired profit.
Bitcoin is out there for quick and easy transactions on the Web and its designed to be peer to peer. Yes you can make money hodling bitcoin but that isn't bitcoin making you money, it's you making you money.

Yeah, a lot of people aren't great teachers or writers and a lit of those but some persons just love to try or have the desire to teach and I wouldn't blame them for that but, I hope they understand that, your students understands better when they are interested in what is been taught to them.

We can earn some money to buy bitcoin, but when the price rises, our bitcoins rise in price, this is what brings us income. Bitcoin, in addition to everything else, can also bring good profits, and I like this property. Bitcoin as well as gold can keep our funds from inflation and I like that bitcoin is another tool that I can use, and I will be glad if in the future bitcoin will be accepted as means of payment in my country and I will be able to pay for everything I need with it.

I have been observing that there is a lot of this issue here in the forum, several similar threads have appeared in this regard, but this seemed to me the best situation that apparently has been happening to many here in the forum, including me, I have tried to convince a friend of the university but without success, it is quite reluctant to this idea of investing in bitcoin.. so I have given up trying to convince him, certainly the idea of showing what can be generated. In is a good idea, but based on experiences, I think it's not the best. The best thing you can do is be quiet, people can be malicious and if they see that you have a lot of money now, you may draw attention to many who want to rob you, I think the best thing you can do is to give bitcoin advice but don't show too much of your wealth... that's my advice.

When I heard about bitcoin, it was not some kind of call to invest, I was just told that it was a very promising coin that could make me rich, then bitcoin was worth less than $100. Do you think I became interested in this and began to buy? Of course not, a lot of time has passed since then when I decided to figure it all out and then I realized how much time I had missed and how grateful I would be to the person who told me about bitcoin if he could convey to me everything that I was not able to understand then.

Later I made a mistake again when I started buying altcoins to end up with more bitcoin but it didn't work I didn't sell in a bull market and ended up losing all the profit. I went all the way on my own, made all the mistakes that could be made, in order to finally understand that I need to invest in bitcoin. I lost a lot of time because I had to figure everything out myself, so maybe if we tell someone about bitcoin and do it right, then it won't be such a bad idea.

I think if someone is telling you about a promising coin which would make you rich is one of the calls to invest. But, everything has its time. Like we all have stories. In my story, i also tried to make money only but didn't tried to get knowledge out of it. Due to which i ended up with nothing. But experience only like you gained too.

The point is, we should definitely help others, because you were helped and i was also helped by one of my new friends. And believe me i 100 agreed with you that. When you have a buddy with you knowing more than you and opened up like a talking book for you to get knowledge. What's better than that. I always try to teach others about crypto. Not kids, because kids in my sides only wanted to play pubg. So after giving one or twi try i gave up and left it on themselves.
