I focus more on its investment potential when someone asks me like that, although after that I will also explain about the technology behind Bitcoin so that the person asking can have a more complex understanding of Bitcoin. Because when the person asking has been able to understand these two things, he will also have thoughts towards financial freedom that can be obtained through Bitcoin itself. But on the one hand, I also look at the condition of the person who asked first, because there are people who prefer to hear about its history first before about the technology and investment potential in Bitcoin itself.
And when it comes to explaining bitcoin to someone I also find it very difficult because how they understand it matter a lot, because there are are certain thing I would not even do because the consequences will be that majority of them might want to even blame you for leading them to bitcoin and it was suppose to be something that will benefit them when it works and when it does not work you will be the one to blame, and everyone investing in bitcoin should have understood this all thing that the investment comes with risks so ot will be better to learn before investing that is one of the things I will advise.
And when you share your experience it will actually help and just for encouragement and it is left for them to decide if it's going to be an investment to do, and I will know the kind of friend I have before I start telling them about bitcoin, because there people that even when you tell them about bitcoin they don't even, want to know anything, so people like that you can not even tell them about bitcoin.
