Success of bitcoin is when its been transmitted to other sphere of life as individual, and the business or enterprise produces a sustainable growth and impact lives. A success projects from ICO could provide a btter testimony, within the global community. More existing projects are now adopting blockchain e.g Darcmatter, HDAC, raincheck etc in different lives sphere and in some years the impact will be felt world wide and blockchain will be more appreciated. Like coca cola etc, their success stories will be everywhere.

It is difficult at this time to convince friends and relatives to invest in bitcoin. Although it is quite simple, buy low then sell then at a higher price. I will continue to try. This is to encourage the cam initiator to only know about bitcoin and also to motivate our confidence every time we read success stories about bitcoin.

I was going through a African airport today, on my way back from a project that we launched in Kenya and I saw this book in a little book shop, Mr Bitcoin: How I became a millionaire at 21 by Mpho Dagada

Even though this might not be one of the best books that I have ever read, it shows the success that might be possible, even in countries where you might never have thought that it was possible.

I spend most of my flight home reading the book and it made me think that more people should write books and articles on their successes with Bitcoin to increase adoption.

People like the rags to riches stories and it motivates them to achieve the same level of success.  Wink
It is good that there is a book which such beautiful story like his(Mr.Bitcoin). It will encourage people and will also give awareness and information about bitcoin and not only vocally(just like how i knew bitcoin) but also in a written form. I agree it will help increase the number of supporters of not only bitcoin but all cryptos.

Even if we are only followers of bitcoin, but we are very proud of here and what we achieved in bitcoin have also a little accomplishment in this cryptoworld, we can also write our accomplishment ,no matter how  small it is ,so that we can increase the trust from people to bitcoin

Well if I was sitting on Bitcoin riches like some early adopters (sadly I am not) I wouldn't want my name and face plastered all over the media and especially I wouldn't want to attract too much unwanted attention to myself and my family. It's best to keep your Bitcoin networth a secret and the fewer people to know about this the better. Otherwise you are going to paint a huge target on your back and will give the local thugs and mafia lots of reasons to pay you a visit. I can't even imagine doing this in Africa. It's like asking for big trouble.

Testimonies and stories are best ways to pursuade people. Especially to bitcoin where some of the people dont believe and has knowledge about. Sharing past experiences will open the heart and mind of people who might want to try bitcoin.

I was not impressed by the title of the book especially the word "millionaire". I believe in attracting mass with technology or by virtue not by money involved. In this step, they will inspire and motivate themselves on how the electronic money changes the life of we.

Writing a book might help, but in today's time book readers are becoming fewer and fewer as year passes by. People preferred something more engaging, like a daily journal or a blog that shows actual use of a product. But still the best way to increase adoption is to accept bitcoin as a payment in our services.

Whether we make a positive writing of bitcoin and its accruing profit , it won't matter much. As far as it is, bitcoin is investment and this is how the people outside sees it and believe that, there will be lows and highs, exactly as we withness in our investment. It is not every time you make gains in business.

I'd like to know why you believe that any positive writing about bitcoin won't do any good. I think
whether it’s writing about success stories or telling friends about bitcoin, anything that could help society better understand crypto will be incredibly useful. Keep in mind that for bitcoin or any other virtual currency to get full adoption, people have to actually start using it instead of fiat. The more people switch to cryptos, the more merchants will accept it. Cryptocurrency’s strength will depend on the people’s faith in the market/coin. Just as you believe that three dollars could get you a coffee, with the same faith in crypto, there could be a strong economy built on legit and useful currency.

Not with bitcoin though because as much as there are rags to riches stories, there are also a lot riches to rags instances. And these are broadcasted louder than the rags to riches stories that you're talking about.

That could be the best way to encourage others to adopt the systen we're involved. Those success that we can give them are just examples of bitcoin's greatness. The inspiration that we can give them will surely convince others to start bitcoin. In fact many wantswant to believe what they see so it's our job to be example for them.

People like those rags to riches story so it would make them be interested in bitcoin. We should start to spread more positive vibes about bitcoin because most likely those people only knew it through news and we know that news stories are mostly negative so it would discourage them. The disadvantage of this when people knew that you are successful in cryptocurrencies is that you might endanger your life because people knew you have money and might become a target for the criminals.

barry silbert (coindesk) HIRED 3 lambo's for the few days and parked them outside. it was just a publicity stunt.

A very bad one. Or what about that Monero baboon with his +$800k watch.  Roll Eyes

I don't like that attention grabbing nonsense and it only distracts attention away from that what really matters. The event itself wasn't all that bad, but it could have been done way better; if there was less circus going there perhaps would be more room for actual worhtwhile development presentation and talk.

I don't want to see lambos or anything pointing out how financially successful someone is. I want to see and better understand how we can improve the fundamentals of crypto. Vitalik for example has all the 'right' to show off his wealth, but he doesn't participate in such act of nonsense. We need more people like him and less of the fools that are looking for spotlight attention.
Sometimes it is just a proven evidence that can convince others to get interest in what we believe in. Bitcoin is a great system and we're the witnesses to that. We are the bitcoin's living testimony of its greatness so sharing our successes in this system to other can really pursue them to start getting involved in here.

A very brilliant idea i think this will really inspire people to believe and to know that bitcoin its not what they thought it was, its a business with so much profits to make from it also for them to see the benefits and utilize it for their own good.

HODLing is an art, not just a word...
even the success story books won't be enough for people who are ruled by emotions and they see the red numbers. I think it's best not to have those people in the community at all

only newbies with a little money are ruled by emotions like that and they wouldn't care if it is red or not. they will also have the same way of irrational thinking even during the rises. for example after each correction during a rally they panic sell!

So far I've been working on my business because of bitcoins. I have a stable income because of this. So I'm so grateful for it because it gave me the opportunity to get my life healthy and to help my parents. And I'm sure I'll reach all of my dreams, especially if I work harder.
