Someone I know wants to meet with me to talk about BTC and crypto.
want to get into it.
What would you recommend be the step 1? for them to approach?
First step that i can think of is to show proof of your earning in Bitcoin, there are many ways how to do this. The point why you need to show your proof of earnings with Bitcoin is to encourage him that you really are earning in the ways that you will soon teach to him. I think this will decide if that guy will continue using Bitcoin with the help of your teachings or not.
I agree with you @BossMacko, people do now want a proof of earnings if you really earned in Bitcoin. Some people heared this already but they don't really understand where the fund come from.
