First of all I am the only person in my area who has a basic understanding of Bitcoin. That is, in the region where I live, no one but me knows about Bitcoin.

The maximum number of friends I hang out with are unemployed. They are not uneducated they are all well educated in their respective positions but due to lack of adequate facilities they are unable to find any employment. When we walk together I talk to them about Bitcoin but they tell me that they have only heard about Bitcoin on various social media and they think that if anyone is involved in Bitcoin, the administration of our country will arrest them. Because it is through this kind of news that they are aware of Bitcoin. But when I tell them that I have a rough understanding of Bitcoin. Then they don't want to believe me when I tell them all about bitcoin they believe me. And I assure them if we all get involved in Bitcoin maybe our unemployment will go away. Because there are enough ways to earn money with Bitcoin.  

Out of all my friends two of my friends have some savings and when I told them about the investment they became very interested in investing but I didn't tell them only the positive aspects of the investment I told them the negative aspects. And I know the rest of my friends would also be interested in learning about Bitcoin but I just don't know how to start teaching them about it. Because bitcoin crypto currency is completely illegal in my country. So how can I help my friends in this regard?  

Hope you guys can give me proper feedback on this and help me move forward in helping them.

If I were you, I would not tell my friends that I own and trade bitcoins.  

I agree, anything that has a connection to wealth should be kept secret because it can enticed people to do bad things especially if these people have wicked heart.  I am not saying that all friends are like that, I believe it is best to keep temptation away from our friends.

I would just tell them that I heard about this technology from third parties and got a bit interested in Bitcoin.  After that, I would tell them about the pros and cons of investing in bitcoin.  

True that, there is no need to brag about our involvement in investment and trading of BTC.  Telling them about the features and positive aspects of Bitcoin is enough to pique their interest.

If they were not interested in my story, then I would not convince them that investing in bitcoin is what they need.  Perhaps this is not true.
 

There is no need to force them to accept Bitcoin or engage in its activity.  It is their loss if they don't participate.  But we must tell them the pros and cons once they got interested about Bitcoin trading.
