Is it a waste of time mentioning Bitcoin to friends and family?

[The Sceptical Chymist]

I've actually started talking about bitcoin to one of my coworkers, and he seems intrigued.  I think I posted this somewhere else, but I told him what a signature campaign is and that I'm in one and he seemed interested that I could earn money just by posting stuff in an online forum.  Admittedly the payouts aren't huge, but the bitcoin is paid out nonetheless.  I've told some other people, but I still have a hard time explaining the advantages of bitcoin.

Telling our family about bitcoins is not a bad idea, as they would never make fun of you if anything wrong happens.
I think sharing with friends is bad idea though sometimes, because they make fun of you when things go wrong and they do not like it.

In my case, they just interest to know more about bitcoin when I gave them proof that I really make money online. So hard to explain at first so need a clear output as a proof.

yeah you right. same like my family. when i tell them about bitcoin and you can earn it online, my family hard to accept that, maybe because they scare for being scammed online.

I have considered telling my family and some of my friends about Bitcoin but whenever I've tried, they fail to understand why it does have value and why it is extremely important specially in the current socioeconomic context.. they don't get it and see it as something really strange. Needless to say I wouldn't tell them to put any money on it. In a way it feels like im keeping something amazing to myself, but at the same time, I don't want to put people into the pressure of holding through rallies long term because most people aren't cut for that.

How to introduce Bitcoin to absolutely clueless people and is there even a point? Should we just let time pass and wait for them to naturally learn about it once it goes more mainstream?

no,i dont think mentioning Bitcoin to friends and family is wasting time,its just show what you have and what your passion for several years,and they not interesting because they know i am learn about bitcoin almost in two years to know little bit more about bitcoin.

I believe that once took place the change of generation, will be 'much more' easy to understand and use bitcoin for beginners because they use computers or smartphones already at  '6 years old.

It's always good to tell your family and friends what Bitcoin is and how it works.
Because you never know, maybe they get a Bitcoin later. 

[diodio5]

never give up tell them, show them also the profits of bitcoin, then they will be interested

I will move to another friend, when the friend who  is not interested,
until when are you going to tell him dude?
just waste of your time

[pooya87]

you should always try and spread the word about bitcoin, this is what i always try and do.
try using your own experience and introduce them to bitcoin with setting up a wallet for them and giving them a small amount to hook them up.

I usually talk about Bitcoins with my buddies, persuaded a friend to buy some Bitcoins few years ago. But not got anyone to use it often. But the struggle continues.

I think its better to tell them more about the benefit of holding and using bitcoin as payment processor than other usual one like paypal. Showing them how to get profit out of bitcoin may sound hard to them at first.

I think it's very interesting and important that we mention Bitcoin to friends and family and relatives. Because this powerful crypto currency still need more support from the community, and we notice that a lot of people not knowing anything about it till now

[nejibens]

Of course it's not waste of time, because Bitcoin deserve and need more support and advertizsing especially from the community and it's users

Yes it's true that many kids also get involved with technology at a very young age and for them bitcoins will not be too tough to understand. I have seen many school students are talking about faucets and bitcoin giveaways. So, I believe any age people can use and save bitcoins.

[Daniel91]

In my opinion....YES!
I talked with many friends about bitcoin and all of them are very skeptic.
Even my wife don't trust bitcoin and thinks that I wasting my time and money here
Believe me, I gave up and will not talk about bitcoin offline any more, to my friends, only online.

Sometimes it just takes time to explain to them what is and how bitcoin works but it worth because they probably will support you and help gaining more bitcoin for the future.
