How can we foster adoption locally in order to make Bitcoin more global? Timing is important; first help the people who need it most. You can only ignore money until it stops working. Don’t promise things you can’t deliver. Educate those who became interested for the wrong reasons. Don’t try to sell it too hard; not everyone is ready.

i hope youtube's video recommendation algo can help promote his ideas when people search for "bitcoin going to the moon" and let him educate them
I just can’t believe that Andreas never makes mistakes in all of his videos that I have watched. Andreas never pushes stuff either. Just facts. We all have been given a magnificent gift. So listen up people.
Facts undermine delusions…
Always… a beautiful speech and education
With all that said in this video, what is your thought on Mad Bitcoins AKA Thomas Hunt? He goes out on the strip in Vegas to shill Bitcoin. Saying shill but not in a bad shitcoin kind of way lol. Maybe promote Bitcoin sounds better.
I agree with this video. You don't want to go out and "sell" Bitcoin.
9:00 Inspiring—educate cryptocurrency as a fundamental financial tool rather than a get-rich-quick scheme.
Smashed the like
Now its on the rise again, maybe people are beginning to waken up to the fact that for BTC anyway it certainly would be insane to destroy the peoples only global, Lawful money of account and unit of measure, guaranteed to securely record all transactions in a tamper proof blockchain. Giving the world a trust worthy currency, inflation proofed, counterfeit proofed and independent of all governments, all banks and any one group of peoples absolute control.
How can that possibly ever fail once the people realise the awesome significance of transacting in Bitcoin?
It would only take a small change in mindset to have BTC as the global base unit of measure that all fiat currency's would be measured against.
That can be accomplished by; instead of asking how much BTC is worth in "any currency" we should be asking how much "any currency" is worth in BTC.
lol full casino
Great advice bro but then again sometimes just advice us on life like what careers to choose and all that cool stuff. Otherwise bro can you please donate some satoshi for me

Doing the Blockchain coarse your involved with. It will be the 3rd one. I’ll keep educating myself and help others. Thank you for that ethos!
Great Video! We educate people here in Germany, Austria and Switzerland to be careful with Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. SafetyFirst!
Andreas I would really like your opinion on my blockchain project. I tokenized my youtube channel to create a reward system for my viewers…
Andres you have really thought me a lot about how to not make stupid changes in the crypto space
BITCONNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECT! Lmaooo
that's the way to go
Your the best Andreas thanks for all you do
this is good stuff that should be shown in economics classes in schools. especially this is epic 4:31: 'My friiiiiend !' @aantonop: as always, thank you for sharing your knowledge!
1:07 I was that guy LOL
You are absolutely spot on. Education is key, the rest will follow automatically.
Educate us about the benefits of full blocks and censorship ??
We've all been a Philip! The way that you explain the reality between the community & technology is perfect. I'm sure we must come across cultish and look like compete lunatics at times. Real life stories will create knowledge. Thank you
?
Great information?
I agree wholeheartedly. Adoption is coming with or without us being the annoying Bitcoin promoting party guest. Next time you’re in Denver please let me know. I’d like to buy you a whiskey. Cheers!
Andreas Should adopt me… .
