I just read this:
http://www.finance-guy.net/finblog/what-is-bitcoinIt got me thinking that most people I talk to, don't understand enough about tech, or cryptography, to fully appreciate BTC.
How would you explain it to them on a simple level so that they might become believers.
A simple hook might help generate larger scale adoption by the masses.
The number 1 best way to get people into bitcoin is show them. Get them to download a mobile wallet and send them $5 bitcoin or something, this will get 90% of people interested. They have a reason to now be interested.
Except that they probably can't do anything with that $5 you just sent them because almost nowhere offline no where accepts bitcoin!
I don't try to convince people about bitcoin, if they want to use it, I will help them, but I don't want to be responsible for them losing money if they make a mistake or the price crashes.
I don't give stock tips either!
