There is a small group of people that are like "ahhh the bankers, they print more and more money". This is a small group of people and many of them are loners and into conspiracy theories. Most people simply don't care about inflation.
Most people have debts. Have you ever wondered why almost everybody you know has a debt to the bank? If you did, you must also wonder where the bank gets the money. And the more you understand about how that works, the more you'll realize the debt based fiat money system can't be sustained forever.
1) "Just by memorizing some jumbled numbers and letters or a simple passphrase you can potentially carry large sums of money in your head! You can get on a plane and fly all the way across the world and you can buy whatever you want instantly."
Now you sound like a salesman: it sounds nice, but nobody does this.
3) "Bitcoin is the future."
It can be, but you can't know for sure. By making such a claim, you're presenting one possibility as the absolute truth.
4) "Long ago people said the internet was just a fad.
I've never heard that phrase before. But the fundamental problem with statements like this is: you can only know who was right afterwards. You don't hear about the failed technologies anymore,
MMS for example was never called a fad, it was heavily hyped, but nobody uses it.
5) "A word document is like a webpage in the same way that money is to Bitcoin. It is universal. Someone can steal your computer and claim the word document as theirs. It is a lot harder for someone to steal a webpage when it is on the internet for everyone to see."
I'm not sure what you're trying to say here, but Bitcoin has proven to be the riskiest form of money around! In less than 10 years at least 10% of the total money supply has been stolen or lost one way or another.
"Bitcoin miners solve math problems and generate blocks for transactions to go through. During this process they are rewarded a small amount of bitcoin.
That "small amount of Bitcoin" is worth $10 million per day. Now there's a way to get people's attention, until they realize mining is centralized by a few entities with cheap electricity.
I can answer this question for you though:
How to get everyday folk interested into Bitcoin?
You don't! The reason: why would you? What's in it for you? Typically, people who joined a ponzi scheme have a high interest in getting others to join. Actively chasing people to join doesn't look good on Bitcoin.
Don't
tell them,
show them. This is what I did: I gave someone
* 0.1
BTC at the beginning of this year. Since then, it went up and down many times, some was spent, and the remainder is worth 3 times more now. He talks about it with others now, totally impressed on the increase in value compared to savings accounts, and some actually bought some too.
I don't advice people on Bitcoin, I make it very clear you can easily lose 90% or more of all money you put in. The rest is up to them.
I would prefer electronic money instead.
Satoshi called is "electronic cash". My bank account holds electronic money, which is nothing like cash.
* I don't give $100 to random people, it's someone I know of course
