I've been in and out of the Bitcoin scene since it's start. More and more, over the years, I've been overwhelmingly convinced that it is worthwhile. I believe there is a need to get more people to accept Bitcoin as something very real and useful. It will help with the growth of the community and help to insure the future use and growth of Bitcoin in general if we show people that they can be a part of it. I do not have the money to do something like this alone, but what I do have is passion, tenacity, and of course time. Personally, I see a huge opportunity here and hope others do to.
In my experience, I can only convince people if I show them some money. For now, I do not have any to show so no one believes me yet. But I do really want to help the community grow by convincing others to use bitcoin.
Yes you are right, the only way to convince people to use bitcoin is show them our money that we get from bitcoin, and they will start asking us about bitcoin and we introduce to them.
