Sometimes, people who are very passionate about something (for example, bitcoin) turn out to be overly persistent and assertive in agitating the subject of their passion. The point here is the excitement that a person experiences from delight and awareness of future prospects, if we talk about bitcoin. Such a person wants to share this knowledge with his friends and relatives in order to help them share valuable information for the benefit of their loved ones. But most often, these impulses are met with indifference or distrust of loved ones who don't perceive this information with similar enthusiasm. Because of this, there is a certain dissonance in the views. At this point it is better to stop and not try to convince them that bitcoin is the solution to all their problems and a ticket to a brighter future.

I tend to think that there is no need to agitate and try to attract more new users in bitcoin, as in some kind of sect. I believe that when people themselves are ready, they will find a way to get information about it. There is enough information about btc around, whether it is in the news, or promotions carried out by enthusiasts. I want to say that bitcoin appears in the news background quite constantly and I hear from people who are far from bitcoin mentioning about it (heard about BTC for a long time, but they are not in a hurry to try it). So, many of our people around us have heard about bicoin more than once, but still they are in no hurry to study it in more detail. If they were interested, they would have taken a step in this direction long ago. Talking to friends like "buy BTC - get rich" is the dumbest way to talk about bitcoin.

You are indeed right in saying that only a personal example is the best way. Less words - more results. And then, when you have something to show, others will start asking questions. It is this moment that will be the best to talk about btc.

In general, I believe that it is not entirely right to try to change other people's lives. First, change yours for the better. Start with this. Otherwise, it turns out that as soon as they learn about bitcoin, people are in a hurry to advertise it to everyone around.

Your words stir my thoughts. Does Bitcoin alone trigger strong responses among our circle? Is it our vigor or the topic itself that ruffles feathers? You propose news presence should quench curiosity, but what if the news is distorted? As Bitcoin aficionados, isn't it our duty to dispel myths and portray a rounded image? Aren't we failing our dear ones by letting them tackle Bitcoin's intricate universe solo?

While peddling Bitcoin as a "strike it rich" tactic is misguided, I reckon we should champion its tech. We need to enlighten our circle about its potential and discuss its risks without bias
