Before now, I've seen some forum members argue that bitcoin is not meant for everyone.
However in their own right, they have some point, but on the other hand, let's look at it from this angle.
For some of us that are from developing countries, is not easy to convince someone about bitcoin or educating somebody about it at first instance and you expect them to accept it wholeheartedly.
They need lots of education and convincing because they do not have an idea of what your saying or what bitcoin looks likes especially for those of them above middle age, because the semantics of bitcoin is a bit different and the approach towards accepting new idea's that is  different from the conventional ways they know of, always comes with some level of resistance.
To a large extent you can even argue that some of our leaders in government don't have an idea of what this innovation is all about hence the few restrictions here and there.
 So for me, no amount of educating people about bitcoin is enough, if an individual has the energy to go round his community to talk to people about bitcoin, I think is a welcome development, as long as his giving them the right knowledge on bitcoin education.
In telling people about bitcoin, even if they don't seem to accept it at first, you will see a good number coming to pick interest much later. Just because a person didn't accept your idea presented to him immediately doesn't perfectly mean he has totally rejected for at some point in life he might find reasons to give the idea a try even without you knowing about it. Let's keep the ball rolling bitcoin is here to stay.
Each person has to decide what is on their best interests, it is not my job or the job of anyone holding some bitcoin to try to educate people about it, if they understand bitcoin and they want to adopt it then that is cool, and if they do not want to do it then that is cool as well.

Let each person decide on their own if bitcoin is what they are looking for, and if it is not then they can choose from the countless assets we have on the many different markets available to them, trying to promote bitcoin on this way is simply not my style and it is not very effective either, as when you do something like this most people think you have some ulterior motives and their resistance towards investing some money in bitcoin could become higher if you do this.
