It is my lesson learned that in convincing people about Bitcoin you should not focus in the future. They will not be convinced about it. They are thinking about risk and what will happen to their money. Instead of your predictions which are not a guarantee nor even accurate, focus in the past. Let them see how Bitcoin is transforming into a billion dollar technology from a simple attempt to contribute to a little to change the world. Let them see how the $9,500 Bitcoin started from $0.00000.

I am not really convinced that is the best way to try to get people to adopt bitcoin, I understand that everyone understand the language of self-interest and showing how an asset went from zero to thousands of dollars is really impressive but in that case they will adopt bitcoin only for the material gains they could get, and while professional investors will have no problem managing their emotions when the price goes down the average person will not be able to cope with their emotions and will most likely sell for a loss and then they will blame you for it.

so for involving the average people in bitcoin we should not force them to invest money in bitcoin while they does not know anything about it, the first thing must be their interest we should develop their interest in bitcoin by introducing them in this forum, staying in this forum they will gradually learn about bitcoin and i am sure that they will want to invest in bitcoin after knowing everything about it. so in this way if something bad happened they will not blame you and also they will learn how to deal with their emotions.

It is better to let people learn at their own pace, when I first got involved in bitcoin it was not because anyone convinced me, I just needed a way to buy something and bitcoin was the best choice, many people do not feel the need to inform themselves about bitcoin because they are perfectly happy with their fiat and the way it works, and it is the reason why I think that when fiat begins to show even the smallest hint that things are not right then there will be an increased interest in bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
