Share the outputs in this thread and come up with ideas to convince the masses to trust bitcoin with 1 to 5% of their savings.

This will only make us look that we're desperate to have other people on board and invest to bitcoin. It shouldn't be like this because if they want to invest, they have to understand the basics and how they're going to do it from their funds. While 1% to 5% is ideal for those who wants to test the waters but it's still not enough for them to realize and feel the gains if it's that quite small. So, as starting, it's good one but I don't want to convince people anymore as it will make me someone who truly is desperate.

True, we are not a snake oil salesman who begs people to buy his useless merchandise. We can explain bitcoin to them and then they should make their own mind about whether they need bitcoin or not. Most smart people instantly figure out how superior bitcoin is to the many investment vehicles and they immediately add some bitcoin to their asset reserves and we need mostly these people anyway. No need to waste our time on people who don’t and won’t ever understand us. Satoshi has said something like that too but I can’t remember the exact quote.

Anyway the idea is not to force people to buy btc. Most of them will do it because they will need btc one way or another anyway. No need to look desperate.

Exactly, they're all grown ups to understand whether investing in bitcoin is up to them after hearing the basics about it. We don't need to push hard as if we're all salesmen here. We've got experiences as well on how people have turned us down when we're so optimistically talking to them and spent time discussing the potential of bitcoin. And that's why that energy is no longer in us, if they want to invest, they will but if not, we don't need to push and force them and coming to the point of convincing them.
