In my opinion, the strategy that could help people adopt blockchain technology and crypto trading would be making an effort to educate the masses about this technology. People will only adopt something that they have a full understanding of. Campaigns and advertising the technology on social media platforms where most people are participants would go a huge mile in helping the adoption of crypto.
You made a very good point. Educating the people about blockchain technology and cryptocurrency will facilitate mass adoption. However, through my experience in crypto space, I've come to realise that self-taught or self-education is the key to have a full knowledge of blockchain which is always bred by love for the tech. Educating people should be in a way to awake the interest in people and from there, these individuals can carry on personally.

Yes self education is the way, actually if you check our platform you will see that it is not a video course platform where you pay for guy who is teaching you with a video, it is more like self education portal where you can find all crypto related resources already found for you and organised in order so you dont jump topic to topic and get lost, by doing that we basically help you self learn first easier and then faster.

That's a good mission, especially for newbies or new investors to learn and prepare. To support that you need a big partner to gain public trust.

At the moment we are trying to partner with big KOLs in crypto space to spread the word but every person can help, that is why we need to spread word.

That is good. When people became educated about crpyto they will easily learn and adopt about crypto world. Because the number reason of very slow mass adoption of crypto is lack of knowledge so they will easily believe about negative feedbacks and news about crypto. If they have enough knowledge nothing will stop their desire to invest and use crypto.

Yeps. Lack of knowledge, as we only have awareness from people. There are quite few people that has knowledge in crypto. I won't call myself knowledgeable enough, and I'll also exclude the dev behind every single crypto coins we know. I would be fascinated if there would be study of Blockchain and crypto in Information Technology and Business courses offered in universities. There's only few country that offers that study, and because of that most of other people just seemed to self-study.

On education side of things, we are hoping to soon launch course titles which are free of charge so new comers can actually pick topics and learn related to those specific topics just like school system.

Educating the masses will take a lot of efforts you're left with one option which is to make the masses interested into learning cryptocurrency if you are really trying to  make people adopt the use of cryptocurrencies. However I do have different opinon, the only thing that stopping crypto from mass adoption is the lack of regulation. Although cryptocurrencies is all about freedom but old people tend to be afraid of something that are not officially recognized by the government or the country they resides in.

The one point you have mentioned is worth mentioning which is "make the masses interested into learning cryptocurrency" that is one of the aspecs we focus the most these days. We asked this question to our selves and said how can we make an average person be interested in crypto and our first initiative was an interactive crypto quiz which you can see here https://www.tokentuber.com/quiz, we already created quite buzz with it, seems we are getting people interested.

The crypto space is not very noob friendly: bitcoin and blockchain are complex daunting topics; cryptocurrencies themselves are not very user-friendly; and the cryptocurrency space has gathered a bad reputation for being filled with scams. A small mistake sending coins from your wallet can cause you to lose your money and ruin your experience. So, while everyone has heard about blockchain and bitcoin, people are not only unsure how to get started, they are also faced with these high barriers to entry.

TokenTuber’s mission is to lower the barriers to entry to the cryptocurrency space so that mass adoption of cryptocurrencies can be achieved. On TokenTuber you can learn and educate yourself on everything you need within the crypto space. We will hold your hand and guide you on your journey in the crypto world. Not only that, you can also earn your first cryptocurrency and trade it with absolutely no cost.

We are looking for global partners (evangelists) to make this vision become reality!  Feel free reach us via contact@tokentuber.com

Link to our Website: https://www.tokentuber.com
*Whitepaper is available on our website!

I agree that Cryptocurrency is not very noob friendly but there are a lot of developers that can make things easy for these newbies and noobs to fully understand how Cryptocurrency works, you don't need to study how to code to learn how to use Crypto.

Developers are trying to set up method tools and applications that will make things like you are just withdrawing cash from an ATM and you are sending funds like when you are sending cash using your credit card.

Soon we will have these options. By the way, I like your site it is indeed for newbies in Cryptos

We agree with you, as things get easier for people mass adoption will be much easier to achieve. The part we are trying make easy to entrance to crypto space and learning phase. Thanks for your good comments. We do really need the support of our community make a difference.

The truth be told. There are so many people coming up with scam project just to make money and just disappear with money. This really tarnish the image of the crypto world. In reality bad thing spread faster than the the good news and this will scare people away and mass adoption is far from archiving.

You definitely have good points here, but think about this why those people are getting scammed at first point? Probably you will find out that they didnt study well before acting, education here is very important if they first research and learn they give decision you will see rate of people getting scam will sharply decline. Because all scam projects follow the same similar patterns not that hard to see once you are educated enough.

can we trust this platform ...?
because most for now many platforms that provide a promotion that is so interesting and seem to be able to help all the problems in the crypto world. but apparently they only want personal information from visitors to be sold by them. or sometimes they look for target visitors so that these targets can be met which will then bring benefits to the platform development team.

Hey we do understand your concern regarding trust, because we also have seen soo many scam and profit only minded projects tearing crypto space. However, if you only spend five minutes on our platform again dont register just have a look, you can clearly see our aim is nothing like that, we would like to grow this community and again we are not solution every problem of crypto space we are only tackling one of them which we think is quite important and that is educating new comers, adopters to give them better crypto space experience.

Having too many scam project in crypto space, I am not too surprised about your worries, because you have every right to be worry about. To show you our sincererty what I can show you is our platform, you will see the information we collect limited to minimum (Email, username) and you will see that we don't seek direct gain from our users. We do not promote certain products or projects to be as objective as possible. and again we posted this OP not to have visitors to our website, we are looking for global partners to spread the world and hopefully reach a big audience to start the change.

Sounds like Youtube to me.  Grin

I haven't opened the website yet but what else could we see here?
Maybe more information in text could also help.
Not all will just open a link because of too many phishing and hacks that are happening. Just an opinion though and maybe it could also boost with what you needed.

If it could really help for mass adoption then why not.

Yes we have some similarities with YouTube like we both feature videos, but we are not really here to compete with YouTube, more we behave as an extension to YouTube. let me explain

First of all we only feature crypto exclusive content and we are a curated video platform which means every video content here goes through some sort of filtration. 

By doing this we simplify and shorten the life a of a beginner who is trying to learn from YouTube. You can imagine hustle of finding the right sources among millions of content.

Also we classify quality videos under course titles and but them in a order, so you can learn everything in that topic in order without jumping from one end to another.

To add even more value on top of a video platform soon we will be implementing quizs where users can test their knowledge at the end of course completion. And not leave it there but we give you rewards to encourage you to learn more, ohh did you complete quiz with a 9/10 score here is your x token as a reward or another example would be, you upvoted a video and help us find those quality videos here X Token for your contribution.

Do you still think it is another YouTube? Grin

Maybe the volatility will be the problem for the mass adoption because people are afraid to pay with cryptocurrency, especially if the price is down after they receive the payment. But we have so many options of coins that we can use as the payment. We can use bitcoin, eth,  ltc, or even usdt and usdc, which will be more stable than the other coins.

Maybe that is why we need the stable coin so that we can exchange the bitcoin or the altcoin into the stable coin, and we can pay using that coin. Actually, we don't have to be afraid about the volatility because cryptocurrency can help us to prevent the volatility by using the stable coins. But the problem is people don't want to learn about how to use cryptocurrency with properly.

You give us a great idea by mentioning "Stable Coins". Because you are right many beginners are complaining about volatility issue and stable coins are there to tackle this very problem, we should definitely focus on this topic more and find reliable sources and include these on our platform to educate new comers about volatility issue.  thanks

When i read your post, the first paragraph has a good point but at the end of your post I realized it is some kind of shilling.  Grin

Anyway, back to the topic.

Actually, mass adoption is starting. It's just that blockchain technology is really hard to understand by the people who are not that interested to acquire new technologies like this. We can see the development of bitcoin but there are still so many people that are not aware of how can it be used, how it works and how can it become the new payment method.

Thus, in a positive side, it is being known and the name is starting to become popular. The convenience given by this technology is great and businesses tend to started to accept bitcoin payments. It makes the mass adoption to continue.

Thank you for your great insights, We felt like we need to comment on the shilling part, we have a goal which we detailed in the OP, and we know that we alone can't achieve this goal alone, this can only be achieved with a great community backing you up, and for this very reason we are looking for contributors and we wanted to mention it on our post. Because one we have you guys on board we believe we can achieve our goal which is everyone is goal in this community.

Those who came onboard to the crypto space at first knew almost nothing about cryptocurrency, let alone knowing about the technology behind it, block chain. So in one way or the other, people still get the information needed.
From personal experience, I was a noobs when I came onboard, but I still  managed to get to where I am now without any special aid.
So @OP, how do you intend to make it simpler, for other to know and understand better.

We do agree with you on, it is possible to make a start from scratch without an aid from outside now and even back then, but real question here is, how time consuming and how difficult is the process? If you want something to get mass adopted you need to make it user friendly less time consuming, you can see this case in many different industries and with many different technologies. So our aim is to not create something that is not existing we would like reshape and make it more user friendly and faster process.

How do we want to achieve this? First of all lets look at main issues making this learning process longer and difficult.

a) There are too many sources available, which thread should I check in bitcoin talk forum to find what i need?

b) Reliability of the source, was this guide written with the intention of teaching something or just to promote project X.

c) Way we deliver the information, what are we using to deliver to information is it a 2 hours long article?

d) Lack of incentives to encourage learning.

We looked at each of these problems then we said we have to create platform where information must be filtered (Problem a) from the sources which we can trust (problem b) and it needs to be in a form where people quickly can grasp the information  (problem c) and we have to put great rewards to encourage learning (Problem d) and at the end we came up with TokenTuber. A curated video platform exclusively featuring crypto related video content with a built in token economy. Curated part helps us to filter videos and after finding the quality videos we add these videos in to our course titles such as "Beginner" " Bitcoin" etc. each course title comes with videos in a special order so you don't jump from one topic to another, later we evaluate each video and make sure video that goes under these course titles are from reliable sources and lastly we reward contribution and learning by rewarding users with our tokens for their actions.

Even the majority of exchange sites have been creating a guide to the new users to understand how crypto works and that's even a complete guide and i think your idea is not a good idea. I just try to imagine how you can compete with an active and popular exchange site.
If you don't wanna need to know deep about crypto and then you just try to know the basic like send, receive and store. that's enough for a newbie.
crypto is not a difficult thing like what you have explained. If someone wanna know and just read thousands article on internet about that.

First of all thank you for sharing your opinion with us here, we are aware that there are many guides and some of these guides are right on exchange websites. These guides can provide information on performing basic actions which are still a good thing and we support that but their ultimate goal is to pull you on their exchange so they can make some extra income from you too. Again we are not saying what they do is bad thing it is a business model and if it helps people and also help to spread the word as well then it is win win situation for everyone both for exchanges and our community. However, when we talk about blockchain as you probably already know the concept is much more broader than just some simple actions you perform on exchanges. There is something called mining, then smart contracts then dapss and then on the trader site there technical analysis and much more. When you look at the situation not just from the trading perspective but little more broader you will see the lack of tools or guides and that is the paint point we would like to tackle.

You have done a great work, but however I do think the crypto is to a level noob friendly, the only thing required to get started is actually to get started because there are different informations to help one kick start a good journey. This forum is here to help, there are some interesting informations on YouTube etc. On the other hand, on the issue of mass adoption, one of the issues limiting is scalabilty of the blockchain which involves speed and so on; although different steps have been taken but we need more hands on deck. Mass adoption will take place but we need to get it right by focusing on projects with great concepts.

Thank you for your compliments, we do agree there are resources available out there if you want to learn from scratch. However, how organized and reachable these sources is another question. Even if you take this forum, finding the right information among thousands of threads is a big time consuming challenge. On the YouTube side yes there are many videos but can you tell which are really there to guide  and which are there  to sell you some project. Most of the influencers are willing to say anything about any project as soon as they are paid well. As you can see the waters are not very crystal clear when it is come to learning and to clear these waters we would like to function like a filter so we can gather quality contents with people who needs these contents.

Well, I commend you for creating this kind of video site where you link several tutorial videos in order for the viewers to know more about cryptocurrency.  It seems you are planning to pay viewers with your token that is another good thing if implemented.

Some points mentioned here like the high level of scam associated to crypto and other factors like not able to trace and retrieve funds when lost are truly retarding crypto from mass adoption.  Other vital issues are scalability issues, issue of hacks and meeting up with regulations.  We have a long way to go before mass adoption can be met.

I believe several altcoins had already addressed this scalability issue, though I also agree that we have a long way to go before we can see this mass adoption we dream of  because of several government banning crypto, and majority of the nation are not yet prepared for cryptocurrency implementation or they just don't pay attention to it.  

Thanks for your kind words. We are improving our system everyday for now we are just compiling various quality videos and putting them in order so beginner can watch, more features we will be soon implemented like quiz after watching video sequences with a reward attached to it, and course title including different videos focusing on certain level or topic and many more to come.

On the token side,this feature already active and users are already earning tokens for their upvotes and some other contributions; more other options are going to be added to encourage people to learn.

Hope you uploaded those videos on your site with the permission of the owners. I guess that is the right thing to do considering that you aim to make money from them with your native token.

Well, I think easy-to-understand information is very important for Bitcoin adoption. If most people learn that using Bitcoin is safe, easy, fast, and very useful, they will likely start using it.

He's not putting the videos on his site but linking to the original ones on youtube. Isn't that legal? It gives credit and money to original authors because whenever you click on the video you're boosting views for the author.

If he downloaded the videos and made them play on his site it would be a different thing but this way it looks legal and fair.

Yes, precisely we compile them using the original hyperlinks from original sources.

Yes there are some practical problems which can be avoided by with proper training and education which is what we are trying to achieve and there are other core fundamental problems like you mentioned we believe these will be resolved with time too, as more and more people puts their minds together to tackle these issues one way or another there will be a solution.
