The wast majority of the people BTC as a big scary way to buy drugs or weapons.

I found this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXBwcedQuQ0 to be helpful. Just explain to them that the word fiat means paper money (or "real" money) and they may get a bigger picture of it.
Turn off the news and read. Watch Psywar, learn something important about our society and PR, why and how it got started and how it brainwashes you.

The problem is not getting them to understand it. It's already hard to get bitcoins, computer illiterate. You just need to create a small economy. Jobs>Paid>Spend.

This. Bitcoin only appeals to aspies and nerds or to normal people if they think they can get rich with it.

There's nothing wrong with being arrogant if you can back it up with intelligent answers, but I agree in your basic premise that most people would dislike him as his politics and philosophy is probably different and their insecurities cannot handle mirrors reflecting their ignorance and immorality.

It's not that the majority don't understand Bitcoin but they fear its involved with criminals...even though cash is used more widely with criminals.
