Exactly at the rate at which most people parade themselves trying to teach Bitcoin to those who are actually not interested in the technology, they could have possibly been left alone. The way in which you tell someone about something defines how the person will view that particular subject matter. Some people will try all they can to convince someone who does not even have any interest in Bitcoin to just join them in investing or whatever, as if there is some sort of referral bonus that they could possibly earn by bringing more people into the system.

Left to me alone, what's best to be done is to share the information a little. Whoever picks an interest in it will have to come to you, ask you questions about it, and you will have to share your knowledge about it with them, leaving them to go do more research about it and make their own decisions about whether it's something they should pick an interest in or not.
