I frequently tell people that I don't give any shits if they buy bitcoin or not, yet I am letting them know for their own good, and they can choose to look further into bitcoin and/or to get started or they can just wait until later (or not at all). People tend to be reluctant, even when given them sufficient information and even being somewhat available for them to ask questions.. yet at the same time, they have to do the work, and I am not going to sit down for several hours with anyone because there is a lot of necessity for self-directed investigations into the bitcoin matter and even into just figuring out how to get started.
Exactly, people make their own choices, they can either listen to advise and invest in bitcoin or the don't, if they buy bitcoin, good for them, if they don't then you leave them be, eventually they will realize their mistakes and will seek you out if they still see the need to invest in bitcoin, putting in to much unnecessary work on your part trying to convince someone to invest in bitcoin make them think you are out for your own personal gain making them reluctant in investing, they feel that in certain way you would be the one to gain from their investments and truth be told, most people don't want others succeeding from their efforts so rather than invest in bitcoin they back away from it, I believe most bitcoin investors are adults and they can decide for themselves what the want to do with their discretionary income and if they are smart enough then bitcoin investment will be the way for them to go and believe me if someone is going to invest in bitcoin, they don't need too much convincing, a smart investor will see the limitless potential in bitcoin and invest in without stress.
