Understand how you feel - since I found Bitcoin I at first tried to tell people I knew but all I got for it was grief. I came to the conclusion it is just not for everyone. Yes, now Bitcoin has performed amazingly and those who naysayed it have been shown wrong to some extent at least. It has given me amazing freedom of choice and I know others as well, but there is still some sort of mechanism at work here- at least this is what I believe-
-Most people who adopt bitcoin are to some extent anti-establishment- prepared to if not keen to question and break away from the established authorities- and so far Bitcoin has rewarded them/us-
I think of the Occupy Movement too that some of us were involved in - how frustrating that it was not able to gain traction or achieve change that was/is so badly needed ~ but now we can see Bitcoin Has Literally Occupied Wall St!
There is however still a majority of people who do not want to question the status quo and who believe and trust in or just blindly obey the established authorities- imo it is difficult to ask them to change their viewpoint- it is something that can only come from life experience.
IMO if they do not want to be part of a revolution challenging the current fiat power structures then they are probably not not be ready to invest in Bitcoin. You can try to educate them about why change is needed, but some people simply do not want to know because to know that stuff takes a lot of energy and often needs to overcome extensive societal conditioning. Despite its current obvious and amazing success to date, bitcoin is still not guaranteed to triumph and so best suited for those of us who genuinely want to be part of the revolution.
