As a traveller/expad/nomad I often have conversations with random westerners abroad. Here's how I do it.

I rarely mention it myself. Usually conversations tend to go in the direction of 'what do you do?'. When this is asked, I answer that I mainly work online. Only if I'm asked what I do specifically, I answer very casually: 'Oh I teach bitcoin'. Period. And I deliberately say it without any excitement. Like I'm saying: 'Yes I know it's boring, but at least I'm glad I have a job'.

Almost always a good conversation follows, because they don't have the feeling you are trying to convince them of something; they are asking you! As soon as the c-word is said, usually within seconds, I smile a bit and say that cRyPtO is about gambling and that I'm not interested in that. That I only help serious people who want to know about hard money and how to protect wealth from a corrupt financial system.

'But I don't work online teaching bitcoin!'

Doesn't matter, neither do I. But in this way you ARE teaching bitcoin; you give random people a touch point they will remember when a future potential orange pilling situation happens for them.
