Very happy to see you are doing such a thing to make people familiar with bitcoin and investing assets, since I had some webinars and learning sessions about investing for the students of a university where I got my bachelor's degree I can give you a few suggestions about the webinar, firstly you can start with telling them about investing and give them some tips and book names to read so they would have some investing knowledge before doing anything and then you can create a timeline for your webinar to manage this 40 minute for them.
Yes thanks for the heads up regarding the timeline. This is where the audience may know what to expect from me in my 40-minute talk about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies.
Encourage their imagination by talking about "blockchain". Tempt their greed by talking about "Bitcoin six digits". BUT I believe we must educate the newbies about the basic, ELI5 technical side of Bitcoin for them to have a solid foundation in understanding cryptocurrencies. It goes back to the white paper, and what made everything stick together, POW.
Since they are into financial management, I think I dont want to cover too much technical stuff about it. Maybe only the basic purpose of blockchain as well as the history, fundamentals, real use cases and citing some examples of BTC being adopted worldwide.
You're really blessed for this type of opportunity. Only a few folks gets this invitation to talk with hundreds of students, I'm thinking it would be the best feeling if it's on live and not on a webinar.
But considering the situation of the covid-19 pandemic and it's still there although many countries are starting to loosen their tight restrictions, it's still best to conduct this event with that crowd online.
Good luck cheezcarls.
How I wish it would be with the actual live crowd. Because of my tight schedule, and it needs me to buy a round trip plane ticket to fly to their city in order to conduct the educational seminar (unless theyre the ones who wanna sponsor me the ticket and accommodation just in case), its better to go for webinar as it can save me both time and money.
