How to introduce Bitcoin & other cryptocurrencies to newbies.

in #bitcoin7 years ago

In the end, I found the easiest explanation for a newbie.

This photo is fantastic for newbies to understand why should we adopt cryptocurrencies.

I can't wait to meet my parents to tell them. Let me know your opinion.

How are you introducing crptocurrencies to others?

fair enough!

I don't think that "newbies" have a hard time understanding that crypto is a type of currency. It's harder for them to grasp how it works. People have been using all types of digital items (like DLC in video games) that have some type of value, but they don't have to know the basics of the blockchain or how mining works and its purpose.

Exactly... I’m unclear if/why this analogy is so useful. Need this at minimum - https://www.wired.com/video/2017/10/blockchain-explained/

They can understand that easy searching on google :p

Since you mention you are going show this to your parents i am really curios to know what did they say!
Cum de nu dormi la ora asta?

Nu dorm niciodata cat trebuie :))

but good work as allways @jwolf

My pana, it's an excellent mental map. but I need to move faster, what is your secret? exchange, investments, mining?

Since I started, I had a bad experience, but Steemit is helping me regain my confidence again. Take a look at this post so you can see how bad it was at my beginning. https://steemit.com/story/@marsella-2017/what-to-do-after-having-lost-almost-everything-steemit-is-the-answer

I ask you the question, because I saw a video of you on YouTube where you talk about me-coin I lost money there. I need to recover

Good job bro.
I am proud to see your work.
Thanks for sharing.

thank you!

that cash should be a gold brick, then this would be perfect

haha, maybe!

Btc is far slower and currently more expensive than credit transactions my man. Its deffinetly not cash.

well done jwolf again ur post is superb :)

I am glad you like it!

So, that's the parents friendly explanation of bitcoin.

yes, lol!

To be honest, I would love to see a newbie who get excited about Crypto because of this ;)

But this has some idea. We should get cryptocurrency presented and used as currency, not only some "internet investment" some people are thinking it is.

That mindset will be implemented in time :D

Nice comparison. But until you have physical form of bitcoin, this won't work.

absolutely true :D

that's a cool way of explaining things ;)

Not sure about Uber, didn't they get in trouble. I wish I understood like you do. Lol my old brain wont let me. .. :)

I guess he just used uber as an example
He is trying to tell us that crypto improves good things that were already in existence

Yeah. I got that :)

@amec is right :D

This picture does explain a lot in a simple way. What I find is that people have pre-conceived notions about cryptocurrencies, bitcoin mainly. And it goes beyond intellectual reason.

I am glad you like it!

I understand how this might make a point but it’s far from an explanation.

yes, they need to spend some time to understand perfectly!

Nice post,thanks@jwolf

This fits right into an article I recently wrote. I wrote this which is targeted to people who feel it is too late to get in and participate in the exploding crypto/blockchain sector. https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@motowngold/bitoin-crosses-7000-dollars-what-can-you-do-about-it-some-investing-ideas-including-crypto-related-stocks
