I have to start with some background information first to explain this. About a year ago, we held a open day for "newbies" at our local Bitcoin meetup and we encouraged members to bring "newbies" to the meetup for a introduction session on what Bitcoin is and how to buy your first bitcoins.
During this event, older members helped newbies to create their first wallets and we showed them how to buy their first coins. We also created a WhatsApp support group for these people to assist them "free of charge" for 3 months to manage and to protect their coins.
I am glad to report that 100% of them held onto those coins and 100% of them made a profit a year later.
We have been getting a flood of gratitude from these people and some of them even managed to pay off their personal debt with the profit they made or paid for their children's tuition fees for their studies.
Yes, a bump in the price is nice, but the smile on someone's face when this technology changed their actual financial position, is priceless.
It's really great to know that you are actually making a mark in the promotion of bitcoin to the mass! We really need more of this kind of events to clear the confusion from the people's minds. I have personally spoken to lot of my colleagues about bitcoin in the past 2 years but I have noticed that majority of them thinks Bitcoin is a scam! because in my country, Banking sector has started a war against it. They are sending mailers and organizing mass events to spread fake news about bitcoins. I have got few invitations of such even from my bank as well!
Here I want to quote a famous tweet made by CryptoKanoon on 25 May 2019.
No head
No funding
No employee
No PR agency
No Social media
No advertisement
No board meetings
The only reason which made #bitcoin succesful was the purpose and that was to help people overcome their sufferings.
Do you have "people welfare" in your mission statement?
