Any other to add to the list?


Depends upon the target audience but I would mix the security and utility that bitcoin has for the user and than also bring up this film-

You have to be careful because if you push bitcoin too much you may sound like a fanatic or snake oil salesman. For this reason the best way to gain a convert is:

1) Send them a bitcoin gift of 20-50usd by emailing them the funds through a service like coinbase explaining that this is a promising new technology which has already gained a lot in value. They may not care about it now but when they see it grow in value they will instantly fall in love.

2) Take them out to a restaurant that accepts bitcoin and pay the bill in bitcoin with your cell phone. This will subtly show them that bitcoin is secure, widely accepted , easy to use, and cool all within 20 seconds.
