Most people I meet, have a way of thinking that only people follow, they hear what bitcoin is from the government which doesn't fully support bitcoin so adoption of bitcoin is slow.

What the gover says about bitcoin has nothing to affect the bitcoin network or it's adoption globally, we can see from the few years attacks which has always lead to more adoption because the more they attack the more the adoption increases, the idea that people have learnt about bitcoin is the decentralized nature of this currency and the trust they have which guarantee them the financial freedom they want, this alone is good enough to tackle the government attacks on bitcoin.

I believe generations will change and we will see a new generation that has full awareness of bitcoin, they will accept bitcoin and adapt to it. bitcoin does not destroy the world economy, but rather repairs the world's old-school financial order.

People has known about this common idea of bitcoin and that's why you could see adoption coming fast approaching the more we go, we don't have to force people to know about bitcoin or adopt it, they will always make the decision themselves when it's time it becomes something they cannot do without in the economy, we should also be careful of misinformation about bitcoin to newbies.

I completely agree with your perspective. It's important to approach it with respect and consideration for others interests. Forcing someone to learn about Bitcoin goes against the principles of individual choice and curiosity. Rather, educating people about both the benefit and risk of Bitcoin is essential to provide a substantial understanding and manage expectations. Leading by example through personal investment experiences can be influential, but it's important to recognize that each person's financial situation and risk tolerance are unique. Finding a balance between theory and practical knowledge is key to effectively promote Bitcoin awareness and facilitate good decision making.
Because the most effective way to promote crypto and teach people is if they have interest and yes, if they are capable enough to invest. Maybe I was bad but approaching poor people and convincing them to invest will probably result in rejections. Bitcoin is not for everybody and no matter what we do, it was hard to convince close-minded people as they believe what is in their mind (of course, negative). We also have to know how to read minds and have their time to develop and have a reason to invest and make this their choice.

Bitcoin investment is personal freedom, no one should be forced to learn bitcoin, because learning bitcoin should be based on interestI have tried to teach many people about Bitcoin and among those who were more interested in Bitcoin completely.  But I did not think that those who were less interested should be taught.  No one should be forced into anything, there is no law that forces anyone to learn about Bitcoin. Many people are forcing their children to learn Bitcoin but I think it shouldn't be fat either.Bitcoin investing has its pros and cons as well.That's way before investing he must be well recharged about Bitcoin.So by forcing someone, he will surely suffer loss.

While I agree with the notion, I most certainly do not stand by the fact that they portray teaching bitcoin as some sort of herculean task when all that you really have to understand is how to invest, hold, and other basic principles which your kid will know anyway later down the line. I much prefer Sim_card's thread cause at the very least he made sure to indicate that interest is what would matter the most out here. I think I'm going off on a tangent here but really my qualms is that teaching your kids about bitcoin when they aren't interested doesn't mean they are being forced to learn shit that wouldn't help them in the future. If I'm not mistaken the same principle is being followed in schools anyway so why waste time letting your kids bury their faces in their iPads and Fortnite when you can teach them about crypto and ready them for the future?
I meant to say the same, as you said. And i do gree that sometime forcing becomes necassary like your example of taking kids to schools and some do not go easily so we have to use force because we do know that it is for their own benefit.

But, i meant to say, if your kid is not showing any interest toward crypto sphere then you should leave the idea for the time being and maybe when your kid is showing any interest then you should give importance too.

So, overall my conclusion was to teach them about current trend in technology if your kid showing any interest toward technological studies. Otherwise we should not force them.

Bitcoin has become an important aspect in the modern era. Bitcoin is basically not for everyone who will be interested in it. Yes bitcoin is an independent process when you tell someone about bitcoin don't force them if they are not interested. Do not force anything. Imposing something does not accept it from the mind. A thing for which there is no feeling, if forced upon it, gradually develops a strong aversion to it. It is entirely up to the user who does what and feels comfortable doing what. Anyone can print money but after printing money I have to convince the rest of the world that this money has value. If I can figure it out I can use it as the main currency.

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.

100% right, there is already a topic on the same issue by mate2237 -->  Don't Force Your Children to Learn Bitcoin. This thread also contains the same context as of yours but he is more focused on childs and you are most focused on overall generations.

The point is, yes, we should not force anyone to learn it as, you are totally right, when your tell someone only the green gardens and positive side of something, some of them become skeptical and they begin to thought that you are trying to lure them into this scam. But if you just change your method of teaching then it will become like no i am not luring you i am justing giving you more options to make your life a little better.

But i do not agree with your title (haha) as btc is a do or die thing (just kidding).

Before I learn about Bitcoin I never like the idea of forcing someone to do something and I could gladly the decentralized Bitcoin which technically gives liberation is one of the reasons why I like BTC because it define something I totally believe right from my teenage age till now.
Having that said, we are in 21 century and it's not difficult to know that fiat currency is losing its credibility so people that didn't see Bitcoin as the best alternative should be forced especially now that Trillion and Billion investment companies are interested in filing for BTC ETF.
People will never actually learned if they are forced to do it. It’s always our own willingness to learn at its right timing. However, with how bitcoin is being the talk in the internet, there’s no need to force the people to learn about it because the fact that we are born with human greed, we always want to have a huge income, then bitcoin has granted it a lot of times especially with its exaggerating write ups and videos found online. At the end of the day, if you want to be aware and gain maximum insights about bitcoin, then have your own diligence to study and comprehend its thoughts.
You have a point because hunting for possible income is what led me to Bitcoin after a failed investment in a shitcoin which is now quenched off the market. However, the side of being borne with human greed always reminds me of what an influencer said when the fiat is doing well people will always seek an alternative, and when they do that they will find a hedge in Bitcoin

Trying to force someone to learn Bitcoin should not be the case. As all activities are becoming digital day by day, everyone needs to know about digital virtual currency.  But there is no need to invest or force someone to invest.I have told many of my friends about Bitcoin but I have not forced anyone to invest in Bitcoin.  If someone is more interested in Bitcoin and wants to invest with risk tolerance then he can invest.  I think there is no need to force anyone to invest in Bitcoin.Most people think Bitcoin investment is only profitable and they encourage others to do so.  But later most people suffer losses.
We don't have to force someone to learn but we just cater to those individuals that are willing to listen and are able to change their mindset. But still, don't overly think that all of them will believe you as well. They might listen but unfortunately, they also carry some doubts which in the end, they do nothing and ignore the opportunity. That is why if you are teaching 100 people, we can't expect that all of them will invest and adopt Bitcoin, it was good to see if 50% of them will follow what we said.

Of course, no matter how much you love Bitcoin or try to let people know of the benefits therein, it's still left to them to accept it. Yet, to date, there is no one I discussed Bitcoin with that did not show interest. I guess it's because;

1. Bitcoin speaks for itself.
2. And my integrity and lifestyle are worth following.

I wouldn't blame some people if they hardly believe what some people tell them due to a lack of trust.

Haha, Bitcoin speaks for itself this line is fire.

Yes, I do agree we should not bother those who are not interested but if someones force you to teach him about the basics, you should not mind even if someone shows a positive attitude you should guide him because a few of your words can change his / her life. Throughout my whole time experience, I had found a few people who really showed interest rest of my connections just wasted my time.

This is my experience :

When I started with Bitcoin I was VERY enthusiastic and I could not wait to spread my new found information with anyone that I met. In hindsight I now know that it was the wrong thing to do, because some of those people had zero interest in the subject.

So, over time I just planted the "seed" of interest and I stepped away. Then, usually around the time when the Bitcoin price increase significantly, interest in Bitcoin increase too.... and those people that I approached, will come to me for more advice.... because I am the supposed "Expert" on the subject.  Cool Roll Eyes

When there are a huge drop in the price, everyone calls it a Ponzi scheme and says it is going to collapse... then I just smile and walk away.  Grin Grin
that's what mostly happens around us, they seem to only want to make a profit, and what's worse is that many are jealous of someone's success, as if they don't want to try to learn and finally succeed in getting what is expected. I personally have also experienced something like that, and in the end only those who were enthusiastic at the beginning could be used as sharing, and who came back because they saw us succeed, usually I even showed the risks that must be borne, because the market moves erratically

I completely agree that we shouldn't force anyone to learn Bitcoin, Teaching someone about Bitcoin could be a big help in Bitcoin adaptation but sure there are still a lot of ways and it's going to adapt in a lot of countries whatever the government does it's going to happen soon, its always my take about the discussion of teaching our kids about bitcoin I really think it's a  great thing to teach our kids bitcoin but not at a very early age probably the best time is when they are teenagers you could start teaching them about it and when they reach collage you could probably teach them how to buy bitcoin and teach them what it is. I mean it's not actually necessary that your kids needed to learn Bitcoin but if you know Bitcoin it feels like you need to teach this to your kids, but you can't really force anything if your kids get interested in Bitcoin then it's a good thing if not then maybe they need to realize something first before knowing the importance of investing and saving. I mean forcing someone is not really going to work you cannot force them to invest or buy Bitcoin it would just end up broke in the end, investing in Bitcoin is a risky thing, and without knowing what is Bitcoin your risking your money and probably going to end up losing it.

Well is normal for us to feel excited to share something we'd just learned. Which I relate, in my case I just told my parents that I am currently into crypto or Bitcoin then they suddenly thought I'm having a big amount of money. I'd just tell them it's not easy to earn that big in just a few days but they think I'm lying cause me to not having an allowance cuz they thought I could already make my own money. But this were I was a student, it's not that easy to do both studies in college and crypto.

That's the bad thing for people, they would be just interested on something profitable when it's on high value, but if it's low they would just think it's scam for people. This the hypocrite side since many would love to get easy money without even exerting effort for them to earn.

Well technically, not all people are into profit. Some just are into Bitcoin to store their wealth without involving any third party or authority. Surely there are rich people out there that are using Bitcoin without telling a single word in the public since it would likely draw attention. They're already rich, and why would they need to get richer anyway.

Telling your friends/relatives about you using Bitcoin could either be destructive in your own part depending on how aware they are on the purpose of it. You would either be praised or blamed when they started investing to it. The market is too volatile to just flat out mention that "you can earn" from it.
I agree with some parts of your statement while I disagree with some as well. In your first paragraph, I will like to remind you that there is no limit to richness and in fact, rich people already know the importance of being rich and therefore want to acquire more wealth in order to remain being rich. So, saying that they are not after profit might be questionable.

Privacy is power they said... I believe being secrecy over one's wealth and investment is very essential. Talking about your investment or flaunting your wealth uncontrollably among relatives and friends might creates unnecessary enmity and end up trying to destroy you. You can discuss Bitcoin when necessary but mentioning your investment is not advisable at all.
