Hi guys, I recently saw a Monero sticker on a lamp post in public. It got me thinking... If I didn't already know what Monero and crypto was, I probably would've just ignored it or assumed it was some kind of scam or shady thing. I feel like thats how most people see it at first glance.

So now im curious, how do people actually get into Monero?

Was it something you randomly came across, or did someone explain it to you? And more importantly, what do you think actually works when it comes to promoting it?

Things like stickers are cool but im not sure how effective they really are if the average person has zero context.

Interested to hear how others here discovered Monero and what do you think is the best way to promote to regular people.

The adhesive idiea is very good to help to hit other bubbles. Because it is difficult to spread Monero on social networks. One does not convince anyone to use Monero in a quick and hasty conversation. The person has to look calmly and be willing to listen. Especially if it doesn’t even use or know Bitcoin.

I met Monero through a person who had spoken negatively about the Internet. Oh, it was stored in my mind. Then I remembered this project and researched it. I saw that negative reviews were not true. Then I bought some coins.

In my opinion, I best promote the monero and talk to people who are tired of state corruption. In my country and easy to see people complaining and asking for alternatives. I speak of digital currencies like Monero. I say that every currency you buy here you are quietly quietly protesting.

Advertise facel wallets to use as Cake Wallet and crypto selling to your friends using paper money. This is one of the best ways, because buying using brokerages disrupts privacy at the time of purchase.

It's worth giving it a chance

@mrcoin3
Best way:
Offer a service, demand xmr.
No xmr? no service.
If your service is that good, they'll figure out the rest.

Would I really recommend this? Depends on the service.

Hard to remember exactly where I first heard about monero. I was always plugged in to the crypto space. It might have been Luke Smith... but more probably it was reddit. Yes, I am ashamed to admit I was once a redditor.

Best way I've found to promote XMR is to make it a first-class billing line item, and offer implicit discounts. e.g. the bill says "I'm owed 1 XMR OR $500 USD". Most people will ignore the XMR, but anyone who has the propensity for it in the first place might look into amd start using it, if for no other reason than to save money.
