I've told some people around me about it but they don't seem to be interested or they don't understand how it works exactly. I've suggested to start out with faucets and opening up a wallet and read more about it but I think lack of interest is holding them back.
Many people think that Bitcoin is not safe and that you can be hacked I think. They think that the wallets are also not secure.
But they must use it and see that the Bitcoin is very good to use and it is also very secure.
