Hello,

I was thinking and wondering of different ways to introduce my family, friends and colleagues to bitcoin and I tried to convince them, but couldn't pitch in perfectly to get them going.

Things I tried

• Showed them the current value of BTC pegged to fiat, which did get thier attention for a while.
• Told them about how it all started, how the community adopted the use of BTC and how it all boomed.
• Showed them my wallets : how easy and fast it is to send and recieve to almost anywhere in the world as long as there is an internet connection.
• Introduced them to a few exchanges to show how easy it is to buy or sell whenever they want to.
• Told and proved to them how secure and anonymous a transaction is and how fast it can be for cross border transactions compared to other financial institutions.

Well, I pretty much tried to do everything I could. Now after they listened to all that I said, watched everything as that I showed to them as a demo, they did thier own research. They started shooting a few questions like

• See how often the price drops, this could be a bubble
• See Google tells crypto currency is used in black market to keep anonymity and make illegal trasactions
• See these types of currencies are used for the purpose of gambling to be in disguise

So basically, what I am looking for as an answer is, an approach that can be used in order to gain interest of people, stating all the good things and the bad things about BTC in a manner that a "noob" can understand and try to think, yes this is already beneficial to others, why not I try it too ?

All suggestions are welcomed.

Thank you
