That's great, just do not advertise Bitcoin to them like a ponzi scheme.
I mean like telling them: "Buy Bitcoins now and it will be doubled after a few years".
I've been seeing newbies and some telling something like that in social medias and sometimes here in this forum's speculation board.
It's bad for "our" image.

If you want to monitor Bitcoin's price (and your balance's) in Electrum's interface, enable it in the Preferences->"Fiat" tab.
