🟡If you own a store or an online shop, add #Lightning as a payment option and incentivize your customers to choose this method by offering a small discount. Start presenting it to your regular customers who have some familiarity with the internet and smartphones.

🔵If you are a customer, don't hesitate to recommend Bitcoin to any store, café, gym, etc., especially those familiar with you. After a brief explanation of the drawbacks of the fiat currency, offer them the option of Bitcoin.

🟠Whenever you go out with your friends, you can settle the bills with Lightning at the end.

🟤When lending money to a friend, consider Bitcoin as the currency and mention that you will accept the same amount of satoshis in return later (regardless of the fluctuations in the Bitcoin rate).

🔴During friendly/family gatherings, at work, on social networks, etc., talk about the risks of continuing to use fiat currency and the advantages of Bitcoin. Keeping these discussions ongoing in the community will gradually ignite the interest in finding solutions.

⬛️And here are a few points to consider:

1⃣When presenting the concept of Lightning and how it works to others, assure them that it is not a network marketing scheme or a Ponzi scheme. Emphasize that it does not bring direct profit to you, but encouraging its adoption prevents both of you from being negatively impacted in the long run, and that is valuable.

2⃣Start with #fiat_money! The best way to encourage people to use Bitcoin is to first point out the disadvantages of fiat currency. Mention three-digit inflation, devaluation of assets in banks, heavy and irrational taxes, high card-to-card and POS fees, etc. After persuading the person, then introduce the idea of Bitcoin and highlight its unique features (rarity, easy and fast transfers, high divisibility, not being controlled by the government, etc.) compared to the dollar and its likes.

3⃣Consider the level of literacy and patience of the audience, and try to explain the concepts as simply as possible. Make sure to mention that Lightning, like the internet, does not require specialized knowledge for daily use; they can gradually move forward based on their needs.

4⃣Help in terms of individual privacy during exchange, identity verification, Bitcoin purchase, wallet installation, and usage, without violating their privacy. Also, honestly provide them with security tips (https://t.me/stupid_risks/43) and educational resources.

5⃣Put perfectionism aside. Be assured that many people are either unaware of the existence of such tools or have been influenced by false advertisements that Bitcoin equals trading. You just need to provide a brief initial education to dispel their fears and set them on the right path.

6⃣The acceptance of this technology takes time, but we are all obligated to actively accelerate this process. Rest assured that, considering the not-so-promising conditions in the coming years, promoting Bitcoin is both logical and ethical, and it is beneficial for the Iranian society. So, never give up on your efforts to promote it. 🙏 @stupid_risks
