When I introduce crypto to my colleagues, only one of the 10 people will discuss it with me, and more people just listen to what I said, they are only politely replyed me: This is good, I will go to understand it later.
Maybe its not that bitcoin is not friendly/too hard for beginers.
Maybe reason for this is you explaining it wrong or too deep in terms of technical things.
When i introduce people to bitcoin, its really really hard job, because they have often hard time to know how to explore internet and bitcoin is more advanced than that. Im always explaining it with most easy terms possible that everyone would know. Its not right, but right enough to get them interested and they find out more on their own.
