I think the easiest way to explain to someone about Bitcoin is over an instant messaging app like Whatsapp or Telegram. You can build local Bitcoin communities along with the global ones and direct new users to some of them to get answers to their Bitcoin related questions. This will be a great advantage for the new users, they will be able to ask questions as chatting with one of their friends.

Please let me know what you think and I will write more.

i am not really a fan of whatsapp or telegram but i have seen many many people use these two everyday. so i guess if you could start a new group and advertise it enough to get a lot of users in, then that can be a good advertisement for bitcoin as long as you are not just talking about price and instead stick to how bitcoin works and what the benefits are.

give me your cryptos

This is a great idea. Being part of an internet community with people talking to you live and answering your queries is great. Sometimes I wait a couple of hours before I get a response for an urgent question here.

this is an interesting idea but from my personal perspective, as long as there is reddit for every topic you can think of and also this forum for bitcoin i never look for any place else.

Yeah, basically if anyone that has interenet connection, he can prety much read everything on here, or any other forum,website. But why not, that would actually be a great idea, and I personaly would lke to recieve btc information from first hand rather then searching and reading tons of text online.

In fact indirectly bitcoin is being promoted to newbies from many PTC nowadays. They have large user base, mostly from very poor countries like India, Bangladesh etc but many of them are introducing payment via bitcoin to their users. Mostly this is being done by revenue shares disguised as PTC which at least 99% of them fails quite soon with a maximum life of 6 months but what I want to say is that they introduce bitcoin to these people who maybe have never heard about it before. They have a dedicated section about it but the problem is them going offline after 6 months.

By the way the only best way to accommodate beginners to bitcoin is by promoting this very forum heavily. I have done so in a few other ventures online which I use, other forums not bitcoin related but money related.

Sounds like a great idea!

But why limit yourself to WhatsApp and telegram? Why not focus on developing the community and network and outreach to those who don't use bitcoin. Any communication technology will serve the purpose of keeping people connected. I think the real challenge is growing the number of people involved in bitcoin, which means we need to talk about it with people who aren't yet familiar. We need to introduce it to them, show them how it works, answer their questions, etc.
