Hey

I think it's a really nice idea.
if u ask me the easiest way to introduce someone to the crypto world is through Youtube videos.
if I were u I would find a few nice, funny not too complicated videos to show my friends so it wont be too "scary"
also from my experience opening a WhatsApp group or any other group for support and exchanging ideas helps,
kind of like this forum only smaller scale and there for maybe less intimidating at first with less people and more familiar faces.

hope it helped a little
good luck
