I've tried so hard for so long that I've given up to be honest.  Last night I had someone tell me that I kept them from buying Bitcoin.  I reminded them that I've been trying to get them to buy Bitcoin for 14 years.  That I physically took their phone, made a coinbase account, and bought 400 BTC for them only to have them refuse to verify the account and get the BTC purchase refunded.  They were like, "oh ya..."

People have to figure it out on their own.  You can lead a horse to water, but in this case they'll refuse the water to eat a pile of shit and then blame you for it.
Same page and I've given up since they don't show interest anymore.

I want them to make profit from it because I can do it but sometimes, you'll realize that you should exert effort to the interested ones. It shows that crypto is not for everyone and they still value the traditional path of earning money, through corporate jobs but can't blame them, sometimes trading is pretty exhausting and have risks, maybe they want some stable and fixed money.

That's why today, if someone's interested, I just throw some materials and let them read it. It's the first phase before I step up and teach them about it. If they think it's hard and become not interested in it, then they don't deserve my time and effort.
