Microloans would be great. But given how easy it is to "take the money and run" when it comes to bitcoin, i'm not sure how easy it would be to implement.
Overall I think it just needs to be more efficient than the legacy financial system. Allow people to do digital transactions with lower fees. Make payment apps user friendly experiences. Onboard many merchants and many customers so that there's a thriving ecosystem

With microloans there may be a problem. Most of the current services that offer loans in bitcoin or shitcoin require kyc and a security deposit so that no one runs away with the coins.

It can also help. People are currently looking at money (fiat) rather than technology. A lot of people look at bitcoin as an investment. Even having bitcoin as an investment increases its popularity and adoption, and over time such people learn more things about it.

can be great.
Most developing countries don't well established Bitcoin related companies. Yet, people in these countries need Bitcoin the most.

Exactly! Of course, developed countries should also increase adoption because it is still not large and many people do not know what bitcoin is or have only heard about it from other people but have never used it.

I picked remittances, but I think microloans and charity have similarly high potential. People want purchasing power and if they need to get a bitcoin wallet to get it, they'll do that.

Local Bitcoin YouTubers (like Piriya in Thailand) have a huge domestic following because they are explaining Bitcoin concepts in their local languages in the context of their local economy and politics. Localisation is an effective way to get folks on board. I think Gigi helped start an initiative called Vientiuno (21) that aims to get high quality Bitcoin resources translated into local languages. Make education relevant again!

This is also a great way. Many people in the world do not know English or do not know it at a high level making it difficult for them to understand various content about bitcoin. All sorts of content in the native language are most welcome.

How do you see your local bitcoin meet ups
reply
0 sats \ 0 replies \ @future OP 27 Oct 2023
It is difficult to say because it is a general formulation. All kinds of meetings created by bitcoiners where they are encouraging nocoiners to try bitcoin and showing them why bitcoin is needed. You can create events and encourage people to join to learn something about bitcoin. There can be a whole bunch of ideas, it all depends on your creativity and where you are.

Selling is a cool thing. It shows the current capabilities of bitcoin and that you can already buy something with it in real life. Good luck in selling your coffee!

I agree with this. In such countries, they mostly make a good living by fiat. In developing countries there are a lot of financial problems that's why the population flees to other forms of money such as bitcoin.

The price is of great importance to entice nocoiners to learn about bitcoin, if only as an investment. This is not the main use of bitcoin, but it always increases adoption.

A crisis always causes a flight from the local currency. Unfortunately, this may increase bitcoin adoption but it doesn't have to because people may flee to other fiat instead of bitcoin.

Other: the closure of centralized exchanges (aka shitcoin casinos).
Someone mentioned on SN recently that BItcoin adoption is greater in countries where people don't have access to centralized exchanges. The reason is simple: poor people can either buy BTC or they can gamble their money away. They can't do both at the same time.
reply
0 sats \ 0 replies \ @future OP 27 Oct 2023
Centralized exchanges should increase adoption because access to bitcoin is easier. How else to get bitcoin? Not everywhere is it possible to buy it from another person (not everyone wants to sell it either). In general, this is a difficult topic.

OTHER: Merchants adoption with incentives (pay in BTC, get a discount).
reply
0 sats \ 0 replies \ @future OP 27 Oct 2023
This is a great idea! People love discounts because of the fact that they can buy more (or spend less). However, first you need to convince sellers to accept bitcoin. The easiest way to do this is in online stores, but nothing prevents you from accepting bitcoin in physical stores.

I think it would be a combination of faster currency debasement, limitations on current remittance options, and having custody options like fedimint which are much more suited to conditions on the ground here

In fact, all the things listed in the survey (as well as others not listed) are very important and combining them will result in very high adoption and the creation of new bitcoiners.
