This seems like a good approach. Advice on finding bitcoiners in countries A and B? The obvious thing to do would be post in SN a bunch ("anyone live in Peru or Mexico?"), and then try to expand them breadth-first that way; but perhaps there's a more targeted method than that?
Hmmm... let me see... off the top of my head :
-
if you're orangepilling your friends and acquaintances all the time, you automatically get the benefit of their networks too;
-
I would look at all the people I've ever known and find one that's from that country or who speaks the main language of that country, and ask that person;
-
I'd contact people who are working on bitcoin-related github projects (and look them up online) to find some that may be from that country or speak its language;
-
I'd direct email small businesses or small companies in that country or a close-by country (or a country where the main language is the same) and try to get in touch with someone working there;
(potentially : 5. join the telegram group for any of those businesses,);
-
find nostr and SN posts from those people and connect with them;
-
perhaps use the orangepillapp;
-
perhaps try in person cash to btc (small) transactions to try to expand my network;
-
look up people who've ever travelled there (patreon, youtube, etc) and ask them directly if they know some local bitcoiners or even just some local normies I could get in touch with to ask them; and
-
look up NGOs working in those countries or with those countries and asking for the same thing as 9.
-
I'd go to local ethnic restaurants who accept bitcoin. Chances are they still have friends, family and acquaintances back home.
Those are what's coming to mind right now.
