Often times in a revolution, what matters aren't the grand actions of a few, but the small actions of the many. In the case of the blockchain revolution, there are plenty of small ways to get people to use Bitcoin and start making money in just your local area and here are some that won't just help your community, but current users in your community, as we all love to see our ideas spread.
Give away Bitcoin
What I've always found to be a great idea is to give people free money. It doesn't have to be much but most people won't pass the opportunity for free money even if it is in a strange new currency to them. There are a lot of different ways to do this but what I normally do is when I'm talking with friends about bitcoin I'll ask if they want some free Bitcoin, then I'll ask them for their phone and download Coinbase and transfer some to them. I always use Coinbase because later if they go home and research Bitcoin and want to buy some, there is a quick button right in front of them to make it easy.
Set up a Poster
I understand that not everyone has as much time to go around promoting insane ideas and trying to completely change the world, but one of the easiest ways of passively spreading the world is to get on Photoshop, or modded paint.net if your poor like me, and design a quick poster. It doesn't even have to be something nice, just add some explanation of blockchain technology and a few stock images and see what you can come up with. This is one I spent about 15 minutes with and I literally just picked up two random images from google and gave some basic insight into bitcoin.
Educate People
A lot of people associate bitcoin with either a lot of buzzwords that nobody seems to understand or an overly simplified way of saying it, "it's internet money,"and it really draws them away from the space. What we need to do is draw people by telling them how interesting Bitcoin really is, and there's not just Bitcoin there's an entire market where you can make thousands in a day by just making smart investments. If you have the time and courage, go do a class at your community college, if you don't that's fine. Just think of some great way to promote great technology.
So these are some easy ways that you can promote Bitcoin in your community, thanks for reading, don't forget to upvote.
Sometimes I ask shopkeepers and owners if they would accept it. Mostly blank stares and questions, so have good answers ready, and keep planting seeds.
The ones who "know" what bitcoin is have mostly been brainwashed against it. Kind of sad. I don't waste much time with those. Just let them be right and agree with them. SMH
I completely agree. We are in a tough time right now as we fight a civil war over block size and we fight to convince the rest of the world. It's sad that people who know so much have wasted that knowledge. Also if your the one who promoted this post Thanks!
