All aboard! Who have you convinced to step on the BTC Train?

I convinced some friends that Bitcoin is a good idea. One bought some at the worst possible time and then couldn't get it out of Mtgox.
I felt so bad that I bought them from him and lost a lot of money in the process.
 
Now I am a bit more wary. I will tell ppl about it if they ask. I also tell them there is a lot of fraud and that it seems that most people in Bitcoin don't actually see the larger picture at all.
They don't see how we all live better than kings would have 100 y ago and how advancement of humanity through technology has helped all of us. They don't see the possibilities of what the world could look like 100 years from now with the help of technologies like bitcoin. The way I see it humanity is one organism of which we are all part. The internet is a new nervous system that is being developed and cryptocurrency is a part and function of that organ. People believe in conspiracy theories because they can't zoom out their perspective to see that all of this is happening very organically and on a scale that is beyond any single or group of individuals.
Fraud and lies is like a cancer on all of us and the small minded who live in fear and inferiority cheat and steal.

That is why we should treasure the people who design and build like Satoshi Nakamoto.

Been talking about Bitcoin since a bought my first for 13usd 2011. Some are a skeptical, some don't even begin to understand it, but some are actually quite intrigued. The total number of people I convinced to actually buy some coins: 0. I do sometimes enjoy saying "you should have listened to me back when it was at 13usd" though

Don't they respond by saying you got lucky and better sell now?

Interstingly some of them seem to believe in it but they still haven't bought any, don't really understand why. They're definitely not too poor to risk loosing a little bit, and some do invest in gold, silver and stocks etc.

I told all my colleague when the price is $200, no one care, after it shoot pass $1000 they are not happy about it and once it drop back to $400, they said "I told you so",

Now I would just shut up and wait the price cross $5000 and then let them know again,

MUAHAHAHAHAH
