I have considered telling my family and some of my friends about Bitcoin but whenever I've tried, they fail to understand why it does have value and why it is extremely important specially in the current socioeconomic context.. they don't get it and see it as something really strange. Needless to say I wouldn't tell them to put any money on it. In a way it feels like im keeping something amazing to myself, but at the same time, I don't want to put people into the pressure of holding through rallies long term because most people aren't cut for that.

How to introduce Bitcoin to absolutely clueless people and is there even a point? Should we just let time pass and wait for them to naturally learn about it once it goes more mainstream?

It may be better to keep on giving friends and family who don't understand Bitcoin some small amounts of information at certain times you see them, such as: gibing them a bit of information each week. It is harder if your friends and family don't understand much about the Internet, but if they do then it will be easy for them to understand bitcoin and its concepts.

I have tried myself but it's all in vain, because when they ask you "what is Bitcoin" there are no ways around it... the explanation is going to be pretty hardcore. If you say "peer to peer decentralized money" they will be like.. what? So you will go into detail, you are forced to.
