I already introduce bitcoin since 3 years ago, and until now, I think I can count how many people who have joined to bitcoin. Some of them are excited to participate in bitcoin, but the rest of them only says "Oh, that will be great. But maybe I will join later because I need to learn more about bitcoin. I don't want to waste my time for doing something that is not worth" and other things.
But I never give up to tells to other people and teach them about bitcoin because I believe that if they join with bitcoin, they can have a better life in the future. Perhaps, they cannot see the good result from bitcoin in the short-term, but I am sure that soon, when the bitcoin price can increase higher, then they will see that what they invest in the past can give them a lot of money. And it's not just about a new investment model, but it also gives them a chance to make more money in many ways.
Topic: WHAT HAVE WE DONE TO PROMOTE BITCOIN MASS ADOPTION? - page 5. (Read 12297 times)
I know different kinds of promoting cryptocurrency example here in our country wallet that very useful with digital wallet like bitcoin and ethereum then with our own fiat currency then we can also use this to pay many different bills so if promote this i'm sure they will use this
Then i also have different social account with many friends and all are real so if i recommend for using cryptocurrency i'm sure they will try this after that they will also spread this so in the future all will really use this
If you are recommending to use cryptocurrencies to people, that are unfamiliar with it then you should explain how it can be used and why is it better than the other payment services. Bitcoin won't become popular if the only thing we will do is offering our friends to use it to pay their bills with slower and expensive transactions instead of using their bank cards. Bitcoin is lacking some strong arguments in these positions. Then i also have different social account with many friends and all are real so if i recommend for using cryptocurrency i'm sure they will try this after that they will also spread this so in the future all will really use this
I think we to start our marketing promotion inside in our house. You need to encourage your family member to use and to invest in bitcoin. In promoting bitcoin you don't have to pay a expensive tv advertisement or big posters to promote bitcoin. You as an investor can promote it by being role model as a bitcoin successful. Let us teach them on how to invest and use of bitcoin in simpliest way like sharing thought about bitcoin.

Honestly, it's very difficult for an average person to encourage ppl in using bitcoin without damaging their image, when you push it too hard it could throw ppl off.
You are right, even me, I didn't promote bitcoin because of the fact that to avoid the possible troubles when the person did not meet their expectations on bitcoin (of course that is profit). I let my friends and family discover what bitcoin it is or how does it work. One reason is probably they were blaming you and second is the criticism of people regarding bitcoin FUD news. Let's show our self to them how successful we are in adopting bitcoin for sure they will follow you after they knew it. Honestly, it's very difficult for an average person to encourage ppl in using bitcoin without damaging their image, when you push it too hard it could throw ppl off.
I dont have any big organizations that can influence people regarding cryptocurrency. Even my officemates are only a four person community. But talking crypto one by one to my friends is better that telling in in mass. In this way i can explain it further and can watch them better.
Hey I convinced my local sellers to accept money in form of bitcoins, also finally was able to convince sellers from whom I purchase SEO Services to accept money in the form of bitcoins. In my initial days I used to fight with my family and friends that they start using bitcoins, but later on I stopped as it was not worth the efforts. Also in my free time I share bitcoins price charts on social media so people realise it’s potential and join in.
It could be little but every bitcoin user has helped 'cause every use contributes to the flow. Those who believed and stayed both in good and FUD times also helped in making the walls stronger, keeping it from falling down.
Honestly, it's very difficult for an average person to encourage ppl in using bitcoin without damaging their image, when you push it too hard it could throw ppl off.

the worst thing that people can do in the name of "promoting bitcoin" is to tell others to buy bitcoin, hold and become rich!
It would have been a great achievement if Bitcoin are used by huge shoppings outlets and businesses but nevertheless, the idea of introducing small business to using Bitcoin is a huge baby steps for greater adoption.
I simply spreading thd word of cryptocurrency specially bitcoin to every persons related to.me and telling them to spread further as we are heading to worldwide adaptation.
Some.friends just ignore but mostly response goodly, actually some family members a close friends already invested here because of the success thsy ate seeing on mine so with this small help but all of us will do,for sure we will be adopted soon by whole Masses
Sooner or later this will happen soon. For those who miss it, of course they will experience tremendous regret. The opportunity to use crypto will be missed and many people have had satisfactory results. The spread of crypto information is actually quite good because nowadays there are so many people who can access the internet, which determines whether the person wants to understand crypto or not, that is something that must be understood. Usually people who want to learn crypto are someone who is not difficult to use crypto and they have a high willingness. Some.friends just ignore but mostly response goodly, actually some family members a close friends already invested here because of the success thsy ate seeing on mine so with this small help but all of us will do,for sure we will be adopted soon by whole Masses

What we have done or are doing to promote the mass adoption of bitcoin is a pertinent question which needs honest answers. The aim of this right-up is to encourage we bitcoiners to join in the fight for mass adoption, even in our little corner.
Bitcoin like every the traditional currency needs to be widely accepted and used for its value to increase. The economist says that it is the forces of demand and supply (Market forces) that determines the price (Value) of a commodity. When mass adoption is achieved, demand for bitcin will be higher, leading to a price surge. Other than that, Bitcoin is freedom, fast secure and efficient. It is a decentralized currency which you spend whenever and wherever you wish without third party control or regulation, it is the next world currency and should be adopted by all.
For this adoption to be gained effectively, we bitcoiners need to preach bitcoin adoption, practice and live it for the adoption to be swift and as soon as possible. Imagine if 1 million bitcoiners can impart and introduce bitcoin and its potentials to 10 people each, do your maths (1,000,000 * 10= 10m) Now imagine if the 10m people now are able to get extra 10 people each? You see the multiplier effect?
Bitcoin adoption is a task to be achieved by we all. Lets teach our family, friends, colleagues and neighbors of the inherent benefits of bitcoin and how to use it.
Personally, I have used my position as the church treasurer in my church to introduce the use of bitcoin for payment of tithes and offerings. Members who use bitcoins are given my bitcoin wallet to make payments, while others can pay cash.
I run a little computer training institute and all my workers are paid in bitcoins. My students have a 2% fees deduction if they pay in bitcoins.
In my own way, through my efforts, over 40 persons and counting have adopted bitcoin and are actively using them. I hold seminars for them and others as well. Through your efforts too, more people can adopt bitcoin, lets become the droplets of water that makes a big ocean.
Brighten the corner where you are, preach bitcoin, live bitcoin, love bitcoin, use bitcoin untill the whole world adopts it

just to confirm: you teach people how to use crypto for paying for something at church, correct?
I'm no preacher. I just tell bitcoin so my inner circles only, why? because I want others to see what bitcoin can truly bring to them and not just blah blah here and there and at the end of the day, they still didn't understand what bitcoin or crypto is.
Let the people discover it for themselves, and at least no one will blame you if bitcoin price suddenly goes haywire (as in the case in 2018 up to present). But goodluck to anyone who's trying to spread the words though, I have nothing against you, but it's not my cup of tea.
You just said it the way I do. I don't make it look like it's a compulsory thing for anyone. Talk about it to clise friends and then let it just pass. After all, there are countries where the British Pound is still not recognized as money. So, why should we expect that everyone must accept Bitcoin. But honestly, Bitcoin has already recorded greater success than expected within its short time of existence. That is if anyone takes into cognizance the history of money.

But goodluck to anyone who's trying to spread the words though, I have nothing against you, but it's not my cup of tea.
I've been asking local merchants here if they accept bitcoin as an alternative when I'm buying some local products here. They ask what is bitcoin and I said that it's an online currency which is accepted by most people who uses the internet on their daily transaction, fast and secure way to pay someone, unlike most payment method.
Honestly its hasn't been an easy task convincing people to adopt and embrace the use of bitcoin, personally I realised that the past bitter experience of some the unfortunate people who invested in the scam and fraudulent MMM ponzi scheme had resulted to people exercising caution into any online investment now.
Although I was able to convinced two of my colleagues to see reason why they need to invest in bitcoin while I had succeeded in getting one of them having his blockchain wallet funded with some btc for a start and practical idea of hodling it

We have different perception in promoting bitcoin to our society or even our friend and family. I know it will contribute to tempt people and have mass adoption if you have shared good stuff regarding bitcoin matter. From the blog in youtube and some good articles stating Bitcoin, I share that on my social media account like facebook and twitter. I know in that way I can contribute to spreading the goodness of bitcoin if they adopt this and of course it will result in mass adoption.
This is a good question. The right people to answer would be the Early adopters and Original inhabitants of the forum. Those are the only people who can actually make a difference because they have enough BTC to make a difference. The rest of us can post away all we want, it won't change the fact that majority of BTC is being hoarded due to lack of avenues to spend or to avoid taxation.
Even on our forum, not enough of these people can be found. Maybe due to privacy reasons and the very real risks that early adopters have if they are known to be big hodlers. This is the major impediment in adoption. No matter how many free tutorials spring up, without a spending spree, BTC isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
Imagine if the Federal Reserve had decided to hoard all its USD bills and opened a million free tuitions to tell people about the "advantages" of Fiat currency. Would we ever see adoption on the global scale we have now?? No. Fiat gets adopted because those who produce it and hold it, spread it out in form of wages and as public investments.
Unfortunately, those who produce BTC (Miners), sell it off to maintain operations and earn Fiat. Those who hold it (Early adopters, 1000+ purse-holders), JUST HODL IT. I believe that maybe a jolly few amongst them open Sig campaigns and run Gambling dens here at the forum. That is what maintains the trickle down effect. Where are all the others from the forgotten tombs of BCT?? Fuck knows..
This could be a good discussion if a few old people came forward anonymously to actually tell their stories.

I'm writing some stuffs in my blog upholding the advantages and easiness of using it as a daily currency. I have gotten some interest from some people asking for more information on it.
Its good to see your efforts in trying to promote Bitcoin to the masses, but the biggest hurdles here are:
1. Complicated for many people
2. Controversial(Scams, Hacks, Ponzis etc)
3. Why take a risk on something so volatile when FIAT is far more reliable and dependable?
4. Network congestion now and then leading to TX time and speed problems
5. Majority of the investors view Bitcoin as an asset rather than a currency
These are just a couple of reasons why mass adoption is still very far away, but regular developments(LN etc) in these aspects will help make this a reality at some point in the future.

In the first place it is depending on legal regulation and financial baseground that are necessary for mass adoption both by individuals and businesses.
you are basically saying that bitcoin has failed!
as a decentralized currency the whole point of bitcoin has always been to NOT need regulations, government intervention, or anything like that. so if you are saying adoption of it depends on regulation by the government then you are saying bitcoin has failed.
and that is not the case. bitcoin doesn't need regulation and for the past 10 years it has continued being adopted without any regulations and will continue doing so just as well.
not to mention that in most cases regulations only means more taxes and limitations and nothing constructive.
the worst thing that people can do in the name of "promoting bitcoin" is to tell others to buy bitcoin, hold and become rich!
It would have been a great achievement if Bitcoin are used by huge shoppings outlets and businesses but nevertheless, the idea of introducing small business to using Bitcoin is a huge baby steps for greater adoption.
