I actually hope you do have quite a lot of knowledge about what you are teaching, it isn't easy to "teach" people about Bitcoin, at least not as easy as some people make it seem, it is almost impossible to give out knowledge that you the 'giver' do not possess in sufficient quantity, i guess that could be the reason why a lot of Bitcoin newcomers think the network is a get rich scheme, their teachers/people who talked to them about the network prolly told them that, or didn't quite tell them what the network is actually for.

Having said that, i for one have not raised any Bitcoin awareness in my community, i consider it too big a risk for me to undertake, for obvious reasons. I might have talked to very few friends about Bitcoin, but not at the level of it being called "teaching", i can't teach, so my friends appreciate it better that i can basically just provide them with quality materials so they could do their own research, and it worked/is working this way.
