So I followed this method and I made 4 people try BCH this year, one of them is probably a miner right now, another one is still holding (I don't know about the other two) it's stressful and it takes patience and effort, but it creates a strong foundation to add another member in the community.
The catch is simply that, it takes a lot of energy and effort but it works.
Here are the steps:
- Find an internet forum or a community in a social media app that revolves around economy or human rights.
- Pick the most passionate and knowledgeable personality about economics and start a debate. Make certain they're not tunnel visioning their perspective and they are hungry for truth and knowledge. (It's not as rare as you might think, don't lose hope)
- Penetrate their barriers with intense red pilling about economy and governmental centralized banking, if you're going to be rude make it count, sometimes saying "don't be a retarded sheep" is better than "I believe you should consider another perspective and maybe, just maybe no offense of course you might be wrong I think", idealistic people who admire liberty respect honesty.
- You still haven't mentioned BCH you shouldn't, your goal is to increase awareness not shill a coin, make that clear with your demeanor. BCH is the medium to get to the satisfaction of the ideal not a product to buy or sell.
- Make certain you understand the person and their perspective, don't be robotic, some times people face difficulties or have their own opinions adapt to the situation. Maybe that person got scammed in the past by bitcoin pumps or by some other service, be empathetic.
- After the debate or discussion is finished (debates work better because the person is genuinely invested) ASK them about crypto, gauge their level of knowledge.
- You still haven't mentioned BCH, you shouldn't, an internet person telling you to buy something is shady, be patient.
- After they state their knowledge, tell them the story of bitcoin, explain to them the entire order of events, how bitcoin was created, how other coins were created, tell them about the fork. (An intense lore creates intrigue and desire)
- Now you got their attention and curiosity from that point on you have many options, after they fully understand the truth then they will probably ask "then what crypto is the best".
This is the critical part, your instincts as a loyal BCH holder /transaction maximalist will tell you to say "BCH" but then you will make the person intimidated, you must still show some patience. Remember to be a human first then a bitcoincasher, which leads to step 10.
- Ask them what they want to do, invest? Use the cryptocurrency? Become part of the ideal? What are their beliefs, their needs, that's when you either tell them a simple "try BCH" or you redirect them to bitcoincash.org for example or this sub.
Before you do any of these two give them some background information, a newbie can get intimidated in the world of crypto where all the intense debates happen and so many undiscovered details exist.
The difference with this method is that the other methods like tipping them create just curiosity, which is helpful no doubt, so are the merchant adoptions, but this breaks barriers and provides a strong, loyal, foundation. So it's a high effort / high reward type of thing.
An edit: This doesn't work with bitcoin maximalists, they don't listen to reason, avoid discussion at all costs.
