I don't think it's necessary to use stories to cajole people into believe and trusting in Bitcoin, I think if you use this method you would have to be consistently convincing them not to fear the market especially when there is little dips hear and there, the market is always volatile and it's a difficult task trying to convince someone about a particular Crypto-currency, and doing so you also making yourself liable to be held or blamed if they actually lose money from holding Bitcoin or any other crypto-currency.

Rather than cajoling people to believe in the investment strength of Bitcoin why not enlightened them about the potential advantages Bitcoin has over other financial system, let them understand that they can actually use Bitcoin to make their financial system easier, and also the fact that they control their financial system using Bitcoin and not under any centralized rules. Also tell them about the dangers, hackers, scammers and the need to be very security conscious. This are the issues we need to discuss more with newbies if the adoption of Bitcoin is to take full effect.
