I usually throw out that I've been using bitcoin as money for quite some time now and noticed prices for everything keep going down.
Without going too deep I explain inflation as a monetary phenomena that occurs when a money supply is expanded. Once that's clarified its seems easier to understand CPI and such as merely measuring the effects of inflation on specific baskets of goods.
Once they see that bitcoin emerged as money with zero unexpected inflation, its becomes rational to make bitcoin a part of a reasonable savings strategy.
Overall, I try to pull instead of push to save myself from burning energy on those who aren't ready for the rabbit hole. A few times a week people will ask me about shitcoins or some crypto bs and I just tell them its not for me, I like bitcoin. Sometimes people will follow up with more questions about why bitcoin. Those convos seem to be much smoother and more appreciated than the ones I initiate.
