For me the best way is talking about your own first hand experience. It is important also to know who are you talking to, as most of the people just don't want to listen, or will use this information against you:

I can tell you what happened to me once a few years ago. I talked to a friend about Bitcoin, he is engineer so I thought it was the kind of person that would understand what I was talking about, and may have interest. I told him that I had invested a little money and that I was optimistic about the technology and the price. He looked at me as I was idiot, and a few months after, when I told him that the price went up dramatically, he said in very low voice, for him, and with face of anger, something like "this son of a bitch may be right after all". I asked "what?" and he answered "nothing".

That said, be very careful who you talk to about Bitcoin and blockchain, as it may not worth the effort.

Apart from that, another good way to introduce Bitcoin and blockchain to people is sending a few sats to someone's wallet. After all, everybody has a smartphone nowadays, and installing a wallet is something anyone can do. If they have the "skin in the game", even if it is very little money, they may feel more interested.

Smiles, this could be a sign of motivator to them.

It's hard to introduce a different perspective of bitcoin to some other people new to it. Abruptly speaking some of them will not get the idea easily. They only knew is that its a form of investment that If you buy there is chance to gain some profits.

Introducing something about investment probably caught their attention however you must also explain the part how blockchain and bitcoin works or the fundamental use case of it and always use disclaimer since this is something risky too.

Hello my good people in the house!

I want to understand something very crucial and important to me because it really borders me and I would love to get some guidelines on how or the best way I could Introduced some of friends to start understanding Bitcoin and blockchain. Though most times wen I made mention of blockchain and bitcoin with other currencies they seems not to understand how it's I have showed them more light but all they says is calling it scam etc, just confused. In my region most Local village don't have modern facilities and many more so whenever I speak it seems is something new to them so I m just seeking the very best way I could narrates to them.

Thanks for your kind feedback.

Why you need to explain it to people who doesn't like it and understand? Is there any benefit for you if you explain it to them , if not then forget about it .let them learn from them selves ,the day will come when bitcoin will also be known in your area and if they get to this point they themselves will be curious what it is and they themselves will search and there is no need for you to explain more.

Now what actually happened is that, there are many individuals whom has not understand it or having little knowledge about and besides the world is getting digitalize which payment of any collectible would be available online. As early adopted members of BTT we have to help those out there to spread the word by so doing we tends to carry everyone along.
Now this would give you a better chance to build a strong community whereby communication could be made easily probably you become a consultant may like earn some fractions of percentage from any transactions.

I thought you want to "block" people as per the title you have. Well, change the title into blockchain. Ok now, if those people in that village don't show interest about bitcoin, then you don't have to act as a hero of introducing it to them while them, they don't care at all.
Introduce it to the people who really are interested knowing about bitcoin and blockchain. And for your introduction, you can simply download pdf files online and download YouTube videos about introduction to bitcoin and blockchain that you can have them watch, there are many of those.

Oh shit!
Thanks for the corrections as my device is on autocorrect so it doesn't recognize blockchain except I have to save it manually for it to be installed.

Nevertheless, I got your points I will look towards it sir.

The best you can do is to look for people that are learned among them and introduce bitcoin to them like starting by telling them what cryptocurrencies are and how bitcoin has been the first and the strongest of all amount all cryptocurrencies. You do not need to explain much about blockchain first to them, just let them know that it is a ledger where bitcoin is safesed. Also you can then explain what bitcoin wallets are, that it is used to store the keys. The explain what private keys and public keys are and why they should keep their keys from attackers. Then you can tell them about bitcoin address and how it is similar to banks, you will tell them to be careful of malware and other means they can be affected. Make sure they are all learned and also computer literates, this will help them to easily know more about bitcoin and some of them will be willing to deal with bitcoin.

The best way to clarify something about new direction or project or whatever is a personal example. For example you are showing them on the monitor, how you buy some coin, or token, show them, where you can do this and how many people are ingaged there, and sfter some period of time you show again them how much you earned from that buying, for example - you may show how you cash your profit out, or how many profit bowadays you have got, what can you do with your profit. When they will see real movements, it will the best way to show what is it and how it works. Of course this example is too primitive, but I wanted to show the idea. As bloggers in YouTube do, but you will show them tet-a-tete. But in case they will be hesitating it is better to let them to make their own choice.
