You are absolutely right. Promoting investment in any trade-able asset including Bitcoin can be problematic for the people who are not well-informed & don't understand the risk involved with it due to its volatile nature which can lead to loss of their life time savings. It is important for anyone promoting investment in crypto currencies to provide them comprehensive information so that they can make informed decisions.

It's not enough just to promote bitcoin, you need to teach them the basics of bitcoin, if you just want to tell people that bitcoin exists on earth and that's it, there are better ways to promote it. What I'm thinking is, if churches spread bitcoin and people invest in bitcoin and lose, what will they think of that religion. I would oppose this idea.

According to the OP, the church or any religious leaders are not going to persuade their congregation to invest in Bitcoin or any other crypto; rather, the religious leaders are creating awareness of the crypto, allowing their followers to have the knowledge if possible, teaching them the fundamentals, the risks involved, and what they stand to gain, and at the same time making everyone know that the risk is higher than what they can achieve, but the existence of the currency is real. So it's left for the members to make their own decisions on what step to take. If they are to engage and make massive incomes, they will be excited, but if it falls to their disadvantage, most of them will blame the person who gave them the information. That's just human nature.
 

I don't think with religious leader as great role model for promoting about Bitcoin but also many kinds or person have potential promoting Bitcoin and get enthusiast respond from your citizen. No doubt with religious person or leader because they have many follower and will allow what his recommended for investing in Bitcoin or not.

Honestly, your country Nigerian have good respond and many people excited with investing in Bitcoin, actually I got information about your money withdrawal in the bank has limit. Adopting Bitcoin and keep promote it will give freedom about your assets or your money controlling by your self without having any third party like the Bank.

The world has mixed with the religious setting and the religious setting has mixed with the world. Hatred, hostility, and division in the world have affected the attitude of the religious leader that's why it's hard to see religious leaders who are very loyal. However, Bitcoin is the only common thing is bridge the gap in religion, race, etc.
If the religious leader could embrace Bitcoin it will be good maybe we could see Bitcoin bridging the same gap in the religious setting.

Before going any further, I want to ask whether the religious leaders in that country welcome Bitcoin and support it. because in my country it is not, in fact some even consider that Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are haram for various reasons. What's more, religious activities in certain places may only focus on matters related to religion, or maybe social, but if you deliberately spread and influence people to be aware of and use Bitcoin, I don't think it's unethical and inappropriate. Maybe conditions are different in your country?

We really understand that we want to make many more people know and use Bitcoin, but we also need to understand how we can tell them. Because I think that it is too risky for the leaders to explain and influence people to join Bitcoin, moreover if they actually don't really understand but they are only following their leaders, it will be too risky. Sometimes, they may feel that they have spent the money but their assets are decreased because the price is volatile. This will lead them to some issues. This will be too risky also to lead many people to certain businesses by religious leaders.

Trust me, promoting Bitcoin with an approach through religion in my opinion is not a good idea bro.
Because I think it will cause a lot of confusion and debate for sure.
Because religion is more sacred and involves belief in God.
Maybe it's not even introducing Bitcoin well but actually worsening the image of Bitcoin itself and your personal name.

Because it is not certain that religious leaders can accept views on Bitcoin, because Bitcoin is a newly discovered digital financial innovation.
Because basically religion is a role model for someone to live based on a holy book of each religion.
In any religious scripture, Bitcoin will definitely not be included in the discussion in the book.
Religious leaders certainly want to focus more on teaching real goodness based on their scriptures, rather than introducing a risky financial advice.

I think you better make your second view as a way of promoting Bitcoin.
Because it is clear that one of the other ways is in line with economic financial advice.
Introducing financial independence that is not bound and dependent on politics and government which sometimes harms us.

Your ideals or hopes for introducing Bitcoin are indeed good.
But I think before introducing or promoting Bitcoin to your area.
It's better to try to introduce him to your friends or people closest to you first.
If it works maybe little by little the people in your area will pay attention to you.
You should have a lot of knowledge and material provision, good and clear.
And really want to set up your time to assist those who are interested.

I saw several threads about some people introducing Bitcoin in your country.
Maybe you can ask them for advice on how and what to prepare.

In a way, religious leaders can influence someone's interest in something good, but somehow I'm not sure they would be a positive bitcoin influencer in any given place. Regardless of their religion, I don't think it's a good idea to expect them to become bitcoin influencers. In fact I can say that I rarely get our religious leaders to talk about bitcoin, but that doesn't mean they hate bitcoin even though I also caught them discussing the legal issues of its use.

I also tend to think that it is ineffective, but much better when the government backs it up with legality where big influence can be expected. In Nigeria or elsewhere I think it will be the same, and I really think that even small amount of support will have an impact on bitcoin and people's trust in it.

They do not support bitcoin as legal tender because it is not physical, speculative, and also has no government legal force. While the majority of users believe it is legal as long as both parties agree to payment even though the price fluctuates a lot. I also don't believe religious leaders are the right people to promote bitcoin, while I support that users, exchanges, and government regulations have supported a more positive movement on bitcoin and its adoption.

Just like other investment assets, losses and gains are risk even though bitcoin is known to be a highly volatile asset compared to others.

We have different tactics we can promote bitcoin in our geographical environment, the simple way to canvas people into bitcoin in a rural areas and especially in Africa countries is to get items mostly food items and gather people and dispense it to them, and inform them that you got the funds through Bitcoin investment, many people who dislike Bitcoin will like Bitcoin and also began to campaign or say more positive things concerning Bitcoin. So we have different dimensions we can promote the technology of Bitcoin in different localities.
