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?
I would rather learn them themselves about bitcoin than wasting my time and energy.People will not understand the importance of bitcoin unless they have some bad experience with fiat.
True but the general public don't even know about Bitcoin at all. If you mention Bitcoin to them frequent enough with the low transfer fees and the near instant speed, they may keep it in their mind and give it a try after they realise the cons of fiat. If you don't, they would think that fiat is the only legit way and continue to use it.
