[gregheflee]

If I want my friend to be interested in bitcoin, what should I say to him if he ask "Where should I start?"

[BiTJack]

Tell him to start by creating a bitcoin address and send him here in forums.

[BeginToMine]

He must be in this forum to know more about BTC. If he will be interested enough, he will discover all he needs in here.

[LuckyBtc]

Tell him about the advantages of Bitcoins and give a few mbtc to play with and introduce him to this forum.

[Wusolini]

try to apply this procedure
- introduce the basis... some video about the BTC idea ... I like this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9jOJk30eQs
- show how it works, an example transaction (change addy, blockchain explorer)
- make a wallet incl. paper backup
- let him join this forum and search for giveaways, promos etc. (learn and earn something to start with)
- warn him about risks (lost pass, too many small transactions ...)

Ask him to buy bitcoin directly and don't try any mining

[notlist3d]

Make sure he does not invest more then willing to lose.

Figure out what he enjoys trading, holding, mining, etc.   Buying direct is the easiest way assuming you have the cash to buy.

Most of the Bitcoin Wiki is more or less outdated but it's still a good place to start IMO

Get him a copy of the new Rise and Rise docu-commercial. That should help!

[Salmon1989]

To get him interested, you should show him the advantages of bitcoin such as low transaction cost, fast payment, decentralization, payment irreversibility, anonymity (if used correctly), etc.

To help him learn about bitcoin, you should show him https://bitcoin.org/, http://www.coindesk.com/information/ and bitcointalk.
