the first time I heard about bitcoin was in local news when it was also banned in my country. At the time because of the trend in internet fraud, I just felt Bitcoin was also one of those fraudulent stuff youths involved in online.

I later had a friend who was into cryptocurrency, he was the one who gave me the proper education on what Bitcoin is, and how block chain technology works and told me the politics behind the government ban on Bitcoin. He also introduced me to the forum and from the loads of information I have read so far, my mentality has changed and I feel if you take your friends through this same part my friend took me through, there mentally will also change.

But if for any reason they are still not interested, just let them be, focus on the once that are ready to learn and when they see the difference in the financial State of the those you've carried along, they will run back to you for guidance.
