Over the last few months I've been asking employees at stores if they accept Bitcoin yet. In response sometimes they will ask about it, but there's really not enough time to leave them with info that would lead them away from shitcoins and scams and trading and towards Bitcoin. So I began looking for a solution.

Initially I had the idea to give physical copies of the videos I have learned from, because spending money and time creating physical copies indicate a higher value than just sending a link.

So I bought cheap flash drives and loaded them with videos to hand out. But what initially felt like a great idea, handing out the flashdrives, just felt weird. After all who would trust a random flashdrive someone gives them?

I have since found another purpose for the flash drives, and I have changed my method which I am sharing now.

I created a YouTube playlist of 4 Videos and 1 audiobook at Bit.ly/StudyBitcoin .

1: God Bless Bitcoin - Documentary

2: How secure is 256 bit security? - 3Blue1Brown

3: But how does Bitcoin actually work? - 3Blue1Brown

4: How Money and Banking work (& why they're broken today) - Lyn Alden Media / nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a

5: The Bitcoin Standard • The economics of Bitcoin • unabridged audiobook - Basic Economics / nostr:npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak

It doesn't matter what they choose to start with as they are all great.

After making that playlist last night, I designed and ordered for around 67,430 Sats 500 copies of a double sided business card to hand out. One side links to the playlist, the other to Bitcoin.Rocks . I've attached pictures of the design so if others want to use it as inspiration they can do it as well.

Now whenever someone asks me about Bitcoin, I will hand them a card after speaking with them for however long we can. I'm also going to give some to my local Bitcoin club to hand out at meetings.

People are afraid of what they don't understand, so give them a seed and they can choose to water it with curiosity if they want. We are winning and we have the ability to help accelerate adoption with minimal effort such as this.

Stay Humble everyone.

Nice! What would you say is the main objection or hesitancy that you hear?

Most people just look surprised I even ask and say no.

Occasionally they will look interested and say they've been thinking of trading Bitcoin/Crypto and I do my best to redirect them but didn't have anything truly substantial to give them which felt terrible.

Others will say they're outright not interested, haven't really had many of these because I've only been doing it a few months and I don't really shop much 😂.

Lit, been thinking of doing this with nostr. Do you know by chance if there was a an advanced option to point the qr code at a different url for iPhone VS android?

There is! The QR code just links to a short URL that redirects to the link you give them. I could update the QR codes at any time to go somewhere else, but the links directly printed underneath would obviously never change lol.

What service did you use for the business cards? Also how'd you get that orange qr, pretty cool

Vistaprint, I used the built in QR code creator and manually adjusted the color to get as close to Bitcoin orange as I could. 🙂 Color code #FC9F30 is what it says.

Love this, such a cool initiative!
