Re: Teaching Bitcoin is not do or die

i agree totally with what you said, due to the recent re- occurring activities that has happened in the crypto space, most people are afraid of investing their money in crypto currency, as i do tell people don't invest in something you don't understand, i always say study, learn, network with people that are doing well, pay for their class and learn, i don't force anyone to learn BITCOIN, when they see proof in your, they'll beg you to teach them.

Many people are afraid to invest on bitcoin because it is new to them so they need proper orientation or education on bitcoin for them. Others are afraid because if scammers. Yes it is not by force but people want to learn and no more but no one to teach and show them the road. I have met several people and I explained bitcoin to and most of them complaining that nobody has told them what I explained to them and that is why they have not invested in it.

Bitcoin orientation or education is needed in the communities. Many people are out there to learn but non to teach them. So we should tell the important of bitcoin and the risk involved so that they will be aware. Like today I was tell a lady about bitcoin and she was interested to invest. She took my mobile number so that she can learn and invest in it.

I think that's just their reason, if they are really interested in bitcoin, really want to find solutions to improve their finances, they can learn everything themselves without anyone teaching them. Where did you learn about bitcoin and did anyone teach you in the early days? As for me, I research everything myself and learn from google, youtube and forums...no one teaches me, tells me about bitcoin or what I need to do...We are in an era where all information and knowledge can be easily found on the internet as long as we work hard. Don't give them a reason that just because no one taught them, they can't invest in bitcoin.

Well you are actually right, i also like the quote of "do your own research" because it's up to you and its your responsible for every decision you make, plus the fact that you could search everything in the internet nowadays. But we can't totally trust the internet nowadays now that Bitcoin existence for a long time, for sure there's a lot of false information, scams, hackers and etc. That you would have to face, even cents bad people won't hesitate to steal it from you. It's normal to feel scared in something you lack knowledge with, especially when it's money involved that we were talking about. They just need to find a reliable sources that they can trust or use, for example here in the forum, you could search existing thread from years that can still help these days. Still they need to do this on their own and experience it on their own, because it's up to their calls wether they profit or not.

I know that self-study will be very difficult and I will encounter the problems you mentioned in the process of learning everything about bitcoin. But I think those are the experiences we should go through if we really want to develop and make money in this market. If we don't dare to face even those things, how can we survive long in this market? Nothing is easy and neither is this market, the more we collide and fall, the more mature we become. I've also been cheated and failed many times, but I consider it a lesson and experience and don't see anything to be sad about. Without those lessons, I would not be able to achieve the achievements I have today.
