Hey everyone! Today, I'm feeling nostalgic about my school days - they were truly unforgettable! I miss them even more now because I was always seeking ways to add value and earn opportunities, despite being from a third-world country.
So I had about an opportunity from a friend back then, who's been in the web3 space for a while. It was an ambassadorship campus program where I got to enlighten fellow students on campus about web3 and blockchain, creating awareness about the opportunities available. It was a fun experience, mate, and I connected with a lot of great people. I wonder if anyone here can relate or has had similar experiences with such programs?
-
was a member of campus fellowship but not as an ambassadors neither running any program during my school days I wasn't this enlighten towards cryptocurrency related knowledge so I totally missed out if i must say.
But however, it would be a good idea to share this same crypto knowledge to them that are in the campus to also have sound knowledge towards the crypto space, most time if you are not financially buoyant to keep hosting student they could be exhausted to coming out to listing to you except you shows results because most people are being carried by what they see from you as the representatives.

I have attended several programs while I was still school and some that weren’t arranged in campus and to be honest you’ll get to see and hear some of their experiences and how they were able to successfully maneuver through challenges and come out with success and also they’ll shill different projects to you (some will be helpful while some are not).
Back then, they really helped me in my journey - and I have won several awards from them, ranging from free trading mentorship to free coin - but unlike you I haven’t been opportune to be an ambassador for any of them.

Op first of all when did you finish school so we can relate well with your story. It is only the time.tour finished your school will determined whether this story is legit. Your story doesn't look nice because cryptocurrency or Blockchain is not a course in any of the network Nigeria universities so they would never be an any ambassador of crypto or Blockchain in Universities and if any students knows them, he would keep it by themselves. I have been a teacher for so.e times now and I have not seen such in any where. So I don't know how you formulate your story. Please write true story for use to discuss.

I think OP means ambassadorship programmes like the one Bybit, Bitget is doing for campus students. They partner with the platform, equip the students etc. don't know about the former, but there's an ongoing one for the latter for campus students. I think that's it if I'm not mistaken.

I have not seen such programme from any of the exchanges and this is the first time I am hearing such? Which of the universities running such programme? Is it in Nigeria or outside country. Well probably it is a new development. But I don't think such can happen because Nigerian government is not yet crypto friendly so if such orientation is given then it will be at Lagos.

There is possibility pf a crypto ambassador, even though I have to agree with what @Agbe said because first of all the timing Matters alot if and when all of us have those old campus stories and because of our diverse timing and it peculiarities, some of us while o campus, bitcoin or other cryptocurrency coins where not known, so we have no expirencce of a campus crypto ambassador, but that doesn't mean that we can have such roles in the present day campuses across the country.
But in all the ops just gave us an inconclusive story hope he replies to comments here on the thread.

Well, I've always believed that anything or activities that is targeted at the masses as a way to on-board them into crypto, thereby promoting crypto adoption; is really a cool one and always good idea, so long as it doesn't involve censorship and breach of users privacy and so on.
I've never had the opportunity of discussing crypto with some students at some school, not to talk of being an ambassador, and this is possibly because I was already out of school way back before I joined crypto in 2016.
So, In the nutshell, I would say that it's a good/great idea for any who has such opportunity as shared @op.

I have, the one I attended was sponsored by one exchange that was created by a Nigerian man although he is associated with several forum companies thus how he keeps it running and we had the opportunity to meet several of the devs and got some USDT as a gift after creating an account in the exchange I can’t recall the exchange name anymore I even got a souvenir shirt from them b it never went back to the after that event.
This same kind of events are also been sponsored by other exchanges and as long as they’ll have the opportunity to shill their products to those in attendance they’re ready to sponsor events like this - most of those “catch them young - crypto events” are usually sponsored by start up companies or businesses that have been around but what’s more audience engagement with newbies.

I've attended some when I was in school then. It was luno. There's one that's ongoing currently BG campus ambassador (https://x.com/BitgetAfrica/status/1810649532641755206?t=VHxozQTf-nbQZiYyOi1CDw&s=19). Nigeria is confused mate, so we have to take charge of our destiness ahah. What do you think about it?

I understand your point, but it's worth noting that it was in this same Nigeria that DeFi Summer was hosted last month, which gained significant attention on Twitter. The government did not take any action. While it may seem surprising, crypto events and ambassador programs are taking place in universities. Initially, I was skeptical, but a friend's experience as a Binance ambassador at school showed me it was possible. I applied for a similar opportunity with Bitget and became an ambassador in my school around 1-2 years ago. Currently, another ambassadorship program is about to launch

What do you think about it?
All the reasonable and like minded crypto enthusiast is doing it in a coded way and not advertising or publicating him or herself. And if you are doing anything related to crypto you have to be careful with people around you because they can label you as yahoo boy and call the police on you. And if there is no evidence of work that you are doing to earn money and you are earning money, guy they will take to the station and you will spend weti no good. So joining such programme in campus is not even encouraging me.

Sure e dey very difficult to see any crypto enthusiast wey dey come outside dey talk about crypto or programs to enlighten the masses, even dem dey do sef Na on a coded, so that dem no go drag too much attention. If to say Na forex and other online stuffs like affiliate marketing things dem, copy writing and all the rest I for agree 100% but e get the way cryptocurrency ambassadorship take dey for campus matter, especially for country wey the government dey fight cryptocurrency like say Na bad thing. Op's story might be true, because some persons fit dey do am, but e fit no dey pampard for everywhere, as e be say majority of cryptocurrency enthusiast like anonymous lifestyle.

In our university campus, we have many students who are looking for opportunities in various fields but they are just lacking information. These sorts of ambassadorship programs for campuses currently assist these students who yearn for information, especially about cryptocurrency, and point them in the right direction so that they can avoid misinformation and other people who want to introduce them to the negative side of cryptocurrency use.

FTX when they have not exited the crypto space also had a crypto ambassador program where they sponsor their crypto ambassador to enlighten people about cryptocurrency. But the truth is that these exchange are only doing it to advertise their exchange and increase the number of users that will be keeping their funds in their exchange by telling the students to learn trading through their exchange. Some students fell victim and their funds also crashed with FTX because they kept some funds in their exchange account which they were using to learn trading. An exchange will not tell you that there is a self custody wallet for you to store their coins instead they will say that there exchange is decentralized.

During my undergraduate days, there were lots of ambassadorial programmes but none were Crypto related and as a matter of fact, Crypto was not in the existence then. It was year later after I graduated that was when crypto began to make waves. Although I belonged to campus fellowship and by the virtue of your membership of a campus fellowship, you are am automatic ambassador of the fellowship so that mean me doing what Iis right and obtainable in the society.
The last time I entered my school campus, I saw lot's of changes. I saw Exchange banners, crypto banners Al over campus and I was very happy that schools and students are beginning to get information about Crypto Bitcoin and lots more and this must be the work of ambassadorial programmes and projects held in campuses. Crypto projects thes days majorly focuses on the youths and most are students who are good pioneers of Crypto knowledge in their various campuses.

In my time crypto has been existing but there was no such programme of Blockchain ambassadors that was campaigning for a specific company or a site, I didn't see as well. And I will disagree with Sim_card, exchange never advertise any of their products in campus, those who were doing seminars were doing to look for money for themselves. And they were not ambassadors but CEOs who were telling people to invest in bitcoin through them. And I have attended one those seminars.

I noticed such as I visited my school last time but I mostly see binance banner more on campus than any other exchange. Although some blockchain project do theirs but so far, the most of them I have seen amongst them is Binance. I believe it that these campus ambassadorial stuff really helped alot because most projects and Crypto company had a good base from student bases centres which really helped in strengthening the Crypto firm and also spread the knowledge of Crypto swiftly in the student community.

I don't know if I am correct but I feel the kind of advertisement Sim_Card is referring to is the one where you see different exchanges in banners and also in some merch - that's the only way I know exchanges put out their products to srudents durign those programs.
If by any chance anyone stands on the podium to directly talk about that exchange or project, then it is certain that they are CEOs like you mentioned and not those exchange ambassadors.

I can see your point of view here but in my country it's all about student community whenever such a function or gathering is going on. No CEO would make themselves available for such function that is why they have ambassadors representing their brands in various campuses to promote their products or you expect binance CEO to start moving from country to country just to visit campuses? I believe you will answer me no. That is the case as we see . Only ambassadors can act in that categories and why it is so.ia because the students understand the language better when they enteract with each other when it comes to things of this nature.

For my part, I found that while crypto did exist, official Blockchain ambassador programs like those we witness today had not been incorporated into the company’s promotional strategy. At that time I too had no official position like that. In so doing, I do not fully agree with Sim_card on seminars on campus because the exchange never advertised products on campus. Some of the organizations that staged seminars were more concerned with the reward they stood to gain than with promoting the company as a team of goodwill ambassadors. Some were more like CEOs, or small business owners, urging people to buy bitcoins from them. I even went to one of those seminars at least and you could feel what their main emphasis was.

I believe most of these campus promotional stuffs are just some people behind trying to see how they could get something out of the student community and so doing, they organized most of these promotional stuff using big crypto names to showcase and when you get to them that is when you will really know their motive for doing such. Some do that as a result of referrals bonus because when the crowd signs up, they get bonus from them and some too help to do exchange which they take charges for their services. Their are lots of things hidden in the campus promotion they do which they do not say.

Indeed, This teaches us a lesson that behind every promotion, especially in the activeness of the campus environment, there lays some unspotted intention. We also have to be keen to avoid falling for this trap of feeling that the promotional material is attractive and helps growth where in actual sense we are being enticed towards goals that will only benefit few individuals, possibly the owners of the self serving fraction [sic]. We should allue to the fact that these risks exist and that the student community, in particular, should be made aware of these different risks every time they come across different investment or partnership deals. That is why, by going on explaining to one another what is actually behind these types of promotions, people shall be better prepared, won’t lose their money, and evaluate the pros and cons of the offered service or product very thoroughly.
