Well, I have started making some few cash from this and really will like those around me to partake. But people around have been put down because of ponzi and when bitcoin is being talked about all they see is Ponzi! How does one really get to re-orientate?
You don't need to convince anyone. You can explain how things work and what is this all about if someone is interested or/and willing to listen, but forcing into opinion is never a good thing. If someone is not interested or apriori against, just let them be.
