Topic: we don't have proper education on bitcoin. - page 6. (Read 919 times)

I often wonder why they do not teach money in schools, we pay so much money in tuition fees to learn how to be good worker for someone else. The school system does not encourage free thinkers, and bitcoiners are people who are free spirited and like to question the system. I don’t think bitcoin will be taught in schools, if it does happens, the information will be very limited to digital currencies and not specifically bitcoin.


I’m also from a third-world country, and I can say in Nigeria bitcoin is a household name, I’m not saying everyone in Nigeria knows how bitcoin works but I know bitcoin is very popular here from the big cities down to the villages.

It wont really be that costing too much time and effort on telling someone on what they should gonna do.Also, most information could really be researched up online without the need on extreme effort
on leading them the way on learning about Bitcoin or crypto as a whole. Information could be read up with just few researches but of course it would be not bad on telling them about false information
which it might led to misdirection.

Its true that as long you could be able to assist then go ahead and continue.We do need that adoption and recognition which it is really just that right on teaching up others
even if its just on the simplest way.

as this kind of situation is not our control, just assist others as much as you can if someone approaches you regarding crypto. we can only do so much, so don't worry too much about this. they have their own time of understanding things. don't underestimate the power of word of mouth. if they don't have the gadgets or tools, someone may inform them about this market. there's no hurry in learning new things especially if they don't have the facilities for it.

It isn't only because of lack of Bitcoin education, but because of lack of education in general. A very large population of every third-world country is in the lower middle-class category that mostly doesn't have good devices or barely has access to good internet connections, and we all know that Bitcoin cannot be learned or used without both of these things.

People from Europe or America have proper education and all other facilities as well which makes them way ahead for things that are only available online, sometimes, even things that are also available in real life tend to reach third-world countries very late.

This is a recurring theme in the discussion that mutates in its context, in short, it is a myth to believe that a course is required to know what Bitcoin is and then use it as a payment method, bitcoin.

On the other hand,  I have mentioned it before, the access to ATMs is a struggle in access to this type of technology and we are talking about Fiat.  Yes, there are organizations in the world that want people from certain poor countries to have access to cash through an ATM.

If you compare it with bitcoin, having that access in the equivalence depends on you and therefore for that you only need to want to use it.

Obviously Bitcoin requires information and education as required by any area of ​​life, but there are users wanting to stigmatize that Bitcoin requires extensive studies, advanced courses, then it is an opinion matrix that in itself harms that uptake in its use.

 So it is something that comes intrinsic as users of any service, learning and getting information.

But not everyone wants to know bitcoin because they don't want to accept new things that can change their life. And that's why, even if they get the right information about bitcoin, they may not want to own bitcoin, even in small amounts. When we already know bitcoin and are involved in it, we can try to own it and teach it to the people around us. Of course, bitcoin is only for people who want to accept it, while for others, we don't force them to use bitcoin. And let them get their information from somewhere else they might prefer.

To boost that number of people, you need a working TV advertisement which we know that cost a lot. So the only thing you can do is promote and spread it in your hometown by making small classes each day of the week and making a seminar like Bitcoin awareness every month. In order to do that, you need at least 20 persons in your team that is dedicated as you and also know how to answer basic questions from the attendees. From this, you can make a huge group that will gonna spread it until you reach the maximum amount of people to know bitcoins and also the crypto industry as well.

Areas where majority of people are not familiar with Bitcoin is caused by the government. Bitcoin can always go far and get known to people but in some countries Bitcoin is restricted and because of this no awareness,  it is only few people who know about it. Most government where Bitcoin is restricted world not want people to know about bitcoin because they think if Bitcoin should be accept it will be a problem to the fiat , this is just the fear of the government.

I think the only answer is time. Give people time to reconsider what Bitcoin really means. It's going to take years before most people start understanding it.

Your point is valid that developing nations find it hard to adapt technology as most of them  are in economic crisis since 2022 when crude oil prices skyrocketed and made it difficult for government to maintain basic services the people.But still, it remains crucial for them to prioritize allocating their financial resources towards education and acquiring new technologies because that is the only way to adapt to fast developments of technologies and innovations and to create job opportunities for the people, leading to financial stability in the long run.

Bitcoin doesn't need everyone to know and use it. It's an opportunity, and those who get it should best take advantage of it. What better thing to do is know how many bitcoins you already own, and your loved ones already know, and also use bitcoins? As long as you do those simple things, you will find that bitcoin has become much more popular than you think. Don't think about things that are out of your reach, instead, if you really want bitcoin to become popular, educate your family first.

I don't think it was a big deal because I know that not all are wanted to listen and are willing to learn about Bitcoin but rather keep believing on the FUDs and wrong information that they get from social media.
IF and IF all of us are open-minded and are willing to learn new things and innovations, it is probably most of us now are using and buying Bitcoin already. Unfortunately, even having financial literacy is hard to find for many people, I can imagine that was harder to educate these people about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency.

I think that it depends on every country's economic status, since average to poor countries are having a hard time to access great technologies, while rich countries can easily access great technology and mostly when it comes to development, they are always the first to have them. It is not that everyone is not knowledgeable or learning in purpose, but it depends on how they manage their resources around. If they have a choice of course they will choose to learn more to earn more. That aside, they can also have access to great facilities not only in technology but also in health care services and opportunities.

Haha, nailed it, buddy! The Bitcoin scene can be one wild ride, and loads of folks don't have a clue what's going on. But chill, you're not flying solo. Even us Westerners are still trying to crack the code. Remember, Rome didn't pop up overnight, and neither did Bitcoin. New tech takes time to settle in, especially when we're talking about places where digital finance know-how is still growing.

But hey, you're already part of the Bitcoin family. We're like a big, happy family, with members from all corners of the Internet. Sound fun? Some people might be a little bit strange. But yeah, we are truly living in the Bitcoin nation. A borderless country

When it comes to sharing the Bitcoin lowdown, you're the main act. You're out there, enlightening the people about this earth-shaking technological wonder.

Keep that chin up, stay curious, and before you know it, the whole planet will be on the Bitcoin train. And who knows, maybe we'll all be rolling in crypto millions, cruising on private yachts, and popping bubbly. Dream big, right?

If you can educate people on bitcoin, you can educate people on anything. It is the most difficult problem we are facing for multiple decades. There are many people in many countries that can't do basic math... How can you expect these people to understand bitcoin? Educating people is a very hard task. I think what you are asking is pretty damn impossible. Most people who deal with bitcoin are only after easy money. They don't even want to be educated. You can't educate a person that don't want to be educated. All they understand is moon lambo dope weed hookers and coke. You are not even talking the same language with those people.

For solving this problem, running various campaigns to create more bitcoin or cryptocurrency related awareness among people. Moreover, when the price of Bitcoin will give a little pump, then control yourself. 80 to 90 percent is actually less than that, there are many third world countries in the world where this figure is still 95%+. But I definitely think that as the use or property of Bitcoin increases, so will the benefits of the coin

Governments are the ones who are fixing the curriculum to different schools.

Unfortunately, schools will not teach us anything about money, or even in investing in general because Governments simply don't want to. I'm not saying all, but most especially here in our country where they aren't teaching those kids about money, and investing, so why teach Bitcoin. Another reason that I know is that, only a few people know the basics of Bitcoin, and on that few people who know it, only few are willing to teach it to other people.

You said third-world countries, and I'm from a third-world country, and I will say that I will agree with you. I don't know the exact percentage of people who knows Bitcoin here in our country, but I'm predicting that it's less than 10% or even 5% which is kind of saddening TBH.

2 ways that I think will work:
1. Governments will implement Bitcoin in the curriculum on both secondary, and tertiary. I don't know if this will happen, but I think it will work.
2. Social media. Right now, social media has been our source of information for years. We've seen numerous videos with regards to Bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general on different platforms especially on Youtube. The problem is that, most of the people prefer spending their time watching entertaining videos than educational videos.

OP, what's wrong with your logic? Let's go back to your posts from just a month ago.


Based on this, can I assume that people who have a "bad brain" are those who cannot understand Bitcoin?


It is here on the forum that I see so many people from the Third World, as you put it, who are very good, and some are studying diligently and already know about Bitcoin. Therefore, it is difficult to talk about countries. The Internet is available everywhere; among us, there are people who came to the forum with only mobile phones, without computers or laptops. Information about Bitcoin is available to everyone and everywhere, but the interests of people cannot converge on only one, hence the differences in opinion.
Start with yourself; if you know something, and if there is a desire to inform others, act!

PS:
By the way, you can spread information about Bitcoin from all your accounts, do not be shy.

Bitcoin has spread not only in Europe and America but all over the world. People now know enough about Bitcoin. And you said people in regions other than Europe and America have misconceptions about Bitcoin. This is not the case.

There are many countries where Bitcoin and other digital currencies are completely illegal. And even if people in those countries practice Bitcoin, it is very secretive. Because it is completely illegal in their country, the government can arrest him if he talks too much about illegal currency.  

You may have read this news that a few years ago a Bitcoin bank was established in India to deal only in Bitcoins. If people had no idea about Bitcoin except Europe and America then the Indian Government would not have taken such a decision.
And there are many people in Asia who are directly involved in cryptocurrency and have a good understanding of Bitcoin and other digital currencies.
Investing requires not only an understanding of Bitcoin but also a risk appetite and invested money. There are many people who have enough knowledge about investment but they are not able to hire investment due to lack of money so you assume they have no idea about Bitcoin?

If digital currency is illegal in your country and if your country has relatively high population then 10% of people know about Bitcoin is enough. And 10% seems like you, but if all those who are directly involved with Bitcoin come forward, I think the number of people in your country who know about Bitcoin will increase.
People's interest in knowing about Bitcoin has increased a lot. People are now trying to know about Bitcoin and day by day the number of people who know about crypto currency is increasing. If the governments of other continents like Europe and America accept Bitcoin and make positive comments about Bitcoin, then the popularity of Bitcoin will increase.

you don't solve this problem because this is a world act to make it happen ,  education in bitcoin needs to be spread by whom> then in this  our help will be counted because the more we let people understand bitcoin is the more they can become properly understanding.

don't worry mate , even in my country there might be more who knows about bitcoin but the sad part? is they knew this negatively and not the good side.
