Hello Bitcoiners from Portugal!

I just want to let you know that there will be a Bitcoin meetup (no shitcoins and ICOs) at The Block Cafe at Lisboa on August 28.

The event details can be found here: https://www.meetup.com/Social-at-The-Block-Cafe/events/253846066/

The idea is to gather the Portuguese Bitcoin community and have a meaningful discussion on bitcoin, free markets and cryptography.

Cheers!

Just came across this website:

http://www.xcoinx.com/

The only 'OneCoin' exchange. Owned by OneCoin

 Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

OneCoin stats according to their exchange:

Market Cap: USD 6,277,776,188

Price: USD 7.83820630   

Supply: 800,920,000 ONE

On second place, after BTC in market cap xD

I laughed hard at this Cheesy Cheesy

Take a look a OneCoin- a Bulgarian closed source digital currency

Am I getting something wrong, or is it really closed source?

I DO NOT LIKE IT!!

You post that "Bitcoin is completely anonymous" and "Bitcoin has no fee". Both statements are not true so i stopped reading there.
If you want get people interested in Bitcoin, then first of all do not lie to them! Or else they will think Bitcoin is a scam and are done with it.
This is not helping.




It is far more not engaging to say pseudo anonymous instead of anonymous when the difference is so little for the general user.

Bitcoin's fees compared to PayPal or Stripe are so much lower, that the final conclusion for the general user is - not existent.

The whole concept is to talk about the final values the user gets. Not explaining every small and technical detail.

i see new user as customers who wants to buy bitcoin.
and you say to me it is ok to lie to them because it is still better for them thy just do not know it jet.
wtf? are you serious?
when i buy porn and my wife divorces me and i buy drugs and get jailed and then i come complaining and you tell me: well to be honest it is not anonymous but almost. i guess i would be facing charges again.
also you can almost every day read here stuff like this: why 0 confirmations after x hours? are bitcoins not supposed to be fast? oh bty 0 fee since it is free.
if you sell me a product and tell me it is free and i find out later that i have to pay fees every single time, then i will never buy from you again and most likely return the product. Maybe find some other altcoin which is free or at least dos not lie to me.
if you want to be taken serious you have to act serious. period.   

I thought about it... You are right.

I deleted the post "Bitcoin has no fees" and changed the post with "completely anonymous".

I will repost it with the focus shifted to- control over privacy and low fees

Thanks for the feedback.
See? This is the advantage of having a community behind a cause.

Feel absolutely free to express your opinion and give ideas Smiley 

Thank you! For changing your mind and the posts. This does not happen to often here. And also i wish you good luck with the page. I hope it brings some bitcoin wisdom to facebook.

Be my guest, critics is something very good.

How about you make this one as a pinned post? https://youtu.be/1_W-7hd4T2I

This ad would clearly help people on knowing what bitcoin is, and if someone asks them about bitcoin, they can just show them this video too and so on and so forth. This is a really good public material that we needed.

This one is awesome! Thanks!

I scheduled a post with it.

Bitcoin is more like pseudonymous instead of anonymous. see this useful website : http://www.bitcoinisnotanonymous.com/ (you can google for more info about this) . It's better to give accurate information's to users instead of spreading false info , that way you don't give any future users false hopes In case they are planning to use it in some things that require full anonymity.

Thanks! I will check it out.

I will write tips on how to stay as anonymous as possible for the users who require full anonymity

I like the idea , but using Facebook is probably what will make this idea fail.
There is no active Bitcoin pages in Facebook , not even one as far as I know . It would be better If you buy "whybitcoin.info" or "whybitcoin.net" domains (they are available : https://www.godaddy.com/domains/searchresults.aspx?checkAvail=1&tmskey=&domainToCheck=whybitcoin.info )  and make a simple website layout or use Jekyll instead.

I think using facebook to share those ideas is good enough because many people use facebook. Most of people, because they can access facebook even they don't have smartphones.

And I think OP's idea is to introduce to people who don't know the worth of bitcoin, right?

Few people know the real benefits of Bitcoin. If they don't have benefit, they will not use it.
I created this Facebook page to explain just that to the general public- the value Bitcoin will bring to them

Yes! The goal is to introduce Bitcoin's worth to people. This way when the content gets shared, more people will find value in it and when they find value, they will use it.

Bitcoin is not for everyone. There is no need to get ordinary people to use it. But there is a certain demographic that you should encourage people to read about it and get them interested. These people are usually male, coders or someone from the IT field, smart, open minded with a small penchant for activism and rebellion.

It is definitely for anyone who finds value in it. And this is exactly what we have to explain them- the value Bitcoin will bring them

Linking social media accounts are for Ripple people, not Bitcoin. We are seeing too many people flaunting their Bitcoin ownership on the internet, and they are making it easy for hackers and governments to target them. Bitcoin is like cash, pseudo-anonymous and it should stay that way.

What will happen, if a government who previously supported the Bitcoin idea, now turn against it and start prosecuting people who owns it. The first thing they will do to track down these people, is to turn to social media. ^hmmm^

This page has nothing to do with ownership.

It is just informative:)

For every 10,000 people, you'll most likely get 10-100 people to use Bitcoin. If you're going to invest that much time, you might as well invest the time into making money and then buy an advertisement on television.

Good! Then we persevere and have fun making great pictures and posts Cheesy

Having a website in addition to the Facebok page is a great idea! I should definitely consider making one

However, the best and most efficient way to get someone interested in something is trough Facebook. Everybody is on social networks nowadays and has his attention there.


Then you should probably start promoting it either by paying or by sharing the content of the page in different groups . You shouldn't target random people or use exchange websites like Addmefast because they are bots .
Instead , target people interested in privacy/security and mostly programmers , those kind of people are the first who get interested.

Great! I will absolutely use your advice Smiley
