Topic: What bitcoin ideas do you have? Share it! - page 4. (Read 1352 times)
unfortunately in my country the legality of bitcoin cannot be done for transactions, maybe for some people here might be able to take advantage of the ideas that I have. maybe I will better utilize the existing network and make a cashier application and put bitcoin as payment, for example a place to eat that has data management and also transactions with digital payments with bitcoin
I am trying to encourage my friends in a way that it can be an inspiration to them. I always tell them that bitcoin can increase the speed of economic growth because of the faster transaction that it provides. Also, the bitcoin price if volatile meaning the it is not stable which is good since you can abuse it by doing the buy low and sell high rule.
One big problem with physical shops that accept Bitcoin is that their staff (cashiers esp) can sometimes be poorly trained in how to actually use Bitcoin to accept payments.
The Arnhem Bitcoin City guys have a really effective way to keep people motivated -- when they spend, they offer to tip extra, so then this motivates the cashiers/waiters etc to learn how to use it and remind people they have that option to pay.
For me, as a freelancer, I had to convince my employers to pay me in crypto. When I started out, I had still a lot paying in Paypal. How did I convince them? I offered 5% discounts on invoices for crypto payments. I never convinced all of them but it got to a point I only had a couple left, with non-regular work, so I told them I could no longer take assignments from them if they paid in PP.
One switched just to keep me =) The other, we parted in a good way. But end result is, I converted clients, and those I couldn't saw a changing world, and I'm now earning 100% in crypto! I don't even offer paypal as a method anymore!

Ideally the shop should have bitcoin payment integrated in its billing. Maybe the amount expressed in bitcoin and the shop's wallet address, then the customer broadcasts the transaction (by scanning the qrcode for the address and sending the written amount). Same way the likes if bitpay can tell when a broadcast is made and release even before 1 confirmation, it is definitely possible. You could have a waiting room for people to wait for 1 confirmation if you don't trust your customers (or perhaps for larger amounts).
I have also been trying to freelance, but have been unable to, especially in bitcoin. Where are you promoting your services?
Bitcoin as a payment?
I don't think it is the best. We all know many people think Bitcoin is a store of value, which the value will be increasing by time. So, people might not willing to buy things with Bitcoin cause they believe the bitcoin they are holding will be very valuable in the future, there will be less spending then. Just like gold, no one using gold to buy things cause they believe on its future value.

I like the idea about promoting bitcoin because no one will really invest in a real marketing campaign for it. So, it's in the users' hands to promote it. And my favorite way to do it is with giveaways.
I have done some giveaways in the Spanish section in the past as way of promotion, and it had some nice results, I hope to be able to do more of them this year.

I couldn't think of any better idea than having them experience the benefits that bitcoin can offer. Having such idea itself isn't sufficient as they would tend to half believing it since they may take it unreal or a fool's idea especially those ain't a techy one unlike if they have the experience itself they may even make an importance to it, or will grind more for them to get the benefits.
Yep, experience is the best teacher as what they say. Making them invest by means of showing them how much they can potentially earn pretty mch sounds like an ad but it's a working advertisement for all I care. As for me, it's best to promote bitcoin's cutting edge against fiat and how they can benefit from using it, probably in the near future when it's much more accessible to people than letting them know of how profitable bitcoin is which could lead them thinking it's a get-rich scheme. 
I personally want to build an industry in the service sector, specifically to wash clothes that are applied with a digital system. maybe I have so far built a prototype about this application, but to use bitcoin as payment will be difficult in my country, because there has not been a permit for mass use of bitcoin.
About 2 days ago, I made a thread encouraging us all to "Promote bitcoin....... It is for "us". I actually do my best to promote the platform and even about 10 mins ago, I helped someone sign up here on the BTT forum (I'll be tutoring him too).
However, on the thread I made lately, someone made a comment that inspired me more. Actually, I've always aspired to promote bitcoin in a bigger way (irrespective of the unavailable funds); by offering some services the average citizen of any country needs and requiring bitcoin as a means of payment. Or making people offer services and get paid in bitcoin.
Anything else is cool. I just want to hear your opinion. Someone else will need it too.
Most times we have these ideas deep down in us but we tend to hold it but we forget that speaking up is also a way of promoting bitcoin.
Let's all speak up!

So you think the average Joe Shmoe,who had never used bitcoin in his life,will register an account at Coinbase(for example) buy some bitcoins,wait for 2 weeks for the bitcoins to arrive at his wallet and pay for some online service(without any refund option)?Nope,using fiat is still way more convenient...
I'm not a fiat supporter,but I realize that fiat is still better for small payments for goods and services.
Bitcoin promotions best work for those who are influential and have a lot of followers. It's easier to promote Bitcoin that way. But as a regular/normal person, what I can do to promote Bitcoin is by introducing it to other people just how like most of us do. Referring it to other people so they can get idea that these things actually exist. If you don't have a business, then someone you know who has a business, tell them to start accepting Bitcoin because it can gain attention.
My idea is very simple. Place an advertisement in the local Newspaper to advertise the establishment of a local Bitcoin friends group and go to a local Pub or restaurant and arrange with that owner to hold Bitcoin meetups at that venue. In return, you help the pub or restaurant to accept Bitcoin payments and you ask the attendees to support the owner.
We started something like this at one of our local pubs and it is doing very well, with 2 meetups every week, because we encourage people to bring friends. We discuss Bitcoin matters and we eat and drink at the pub and we trade Alt coins and bitcoins and everyone are supporting the local pub.
This way you increase Bitcoin adoption and Merchant adoption at the same time.
I think with just using bitcoin in our everyday transaction is already a big help in influencing bitcoin to the community. If there are a lot of restaurant or services that are accepting bitcoin as a payment for sure a lot of people in the community is going to be curious about it if they don't have any knowledge about it influencing them about bitcoin and it also helps us the is already have the knowledge in bitcoin, we could also use our bitcoin to pay for that certain product or that service.We started something like this at one of our local pubs and it is doing very well, with 2 meetups every week, because we encourage people to bring friends.

The best way to raise awareness about bitcoin and blockchain is to put them in schools, but right now in my opinion this problem is still new and doesn't have many teaching facilities.
Agree, a lot of people in the community or in the rural areas are not really exposed to technology but for sure they have an education if we could implement to teach them blockchain technology or cryptocurrency for sure a lot of people will be influenced.

There can be programs that may initiate offering courses regarding crypto. Or those IT professors should get Crypto courses or blockchain courses that will let the other students to have atleast idea. It will help their students to have additional income as well a skills.

Most of us see bitcoin as income, promote is wasting time and get no pay but not with bounty hunter of course. Freelancer by offer services, buy sell stuff and writing crypto articles is also good for promotion strategy. The problem is about regulation, if crypto is legal we can choose many ways to promote crypto without get banned. So far only social media and blog can use it but if google block crypto content, that's become big problem in promotion crypto.
Well promoting bitcoin to social media has really a big impact because lot of people are exposed now with it. In fact most of the time they used always their cellphones and computer just to go different social medias like facebook and twitters. I suggest to promote bitcoin as well through verbal by sharing it to our friends and family. Its a good thing to share what blessings we get from bitcoin.
I always try to convince people that bitcoin is promising place to gain money. Because with just that way they will extracted to know more about so as they will find and learn about bitcoin. I think when they have known about bitcoin and how its function at least they will know and support that bitcoin can be used as payment system because it is very easy to use.
Such as payment system that use money fiat which is crowded being used by many people as of now. And I just thinking too when I give a learning about bitcoin that its function is as payment system then I will doubt they will extracted to know more about bitcoin because they just believe that payment system is money fiat only which was created by the goverment.

I don't have enough funds to massively promote bitcoin.
Actually you don't need to have a lot of money to promote bitcoin at all. The social media has always been free and will cost you nothing by simply posting informative links/articles about bitcoin there. Sharing knowledge requires 0 payments too, you don't need money if you want to promote bitcoin you can always find a way on how to.
wow . you are one kind of person because you help btc and this btc comunity to grow in your little way . you must be free or dont have other important things to do outside because i can see that you can dedicate quality time to promote bitcoin . how i wish that other non working people can be like you . instead of wasting thier times on unimportant things like playing video games and watching cat videos , why can they just use that time to help btc and the btc comunity grow more ? i would be more thankful with them .
