A long time ago, in my class (I was teaching digital electronics to military trainees), I offered to give $1 in Bitcoin to anyone who cared to learn about it. A few students were interested, especially the females. I asked them to invest one month's worth of their allowance (paid to them monthly by the military academy) to buy Bitcoin. This would have gotten them around 0.5 BTC at the time. But no one did what I suggested. Not to my knowledge at least.
Some years later, one of those female students (she had already graduated and in service by then) came to me, to tell me that the $1 I had donated to her had become $30! She asked me how to buy more, but when she saw the price she gave me the all-too-familiar "it's too expensive" line.
I rarely (if at all) talk about Bitcoin to nocoiners these days. It's not worth the effort, and there are the $5 wrench attacks to consider too. If you think it's too late, then it is. For you.
