The list of projects described above is, of course, not exhaustive. In general, these are more likely to be internal projects for their community or meetups, which can be fairly easily implemented as they develop.

Now let's turn to onboarding.

As you know, one of the best ways to reach a large audience at once is to host a free lecture. This can be done in colleges and universities, introducing both young people (and the not-so-young) to Bitcoin, whether they are completely new to it or looking to deepen their understanding.

Delivering a lecture to dozens or even hundreds of people requires more than just technical expertise. You'll need:

Equally important is keeping an open mind and knowing when to simplify concepts, especially during the Q&A session or a panel discussion. It's not about giving up your principles, just acknowledging that others might see things differently. Sometimes it's best to reply later or let it go so the discussion can keep moving. If your points are backed by solid, well-sourced arguments, people will recognize that.

If you feel ready, go for it! The world desperately needs better education about Bitcoin. That said, this is not a light undertaking: it demands motivation, effort, and the right connections.

Organizing a lecture or workshop in a school or university starts with finding the right contact. This might be:

The first step is usually to present your initiative or association and request a meeting. In the best case, this will lead to a presentation on Bitcoin in front of students a few weeks later.

Unfortunately, Bitcoin is still demonized by much of the media and many politicians, leading some to believe it has no place in classrooms. Rejections are common, especially in academic circles where topics like proof of work and energy consumption remain controversial.

Still, it's worth trying, especially with student unions and associations. AAnd who knows? Even if your first attempt gets a "no", you might just find an email in your inbox during the next bull run inviting you to speak to, say, 280 students!
