It appears that a similar situation has occurred with your uncle as it did with me. Back in 2014, when I was still in school, I only heard the word "Bitcoin" in passing and had no interest whatsoever in this new currency issued by non-government entities.
However, as time passed by for three years, my curiosity got the best of me, and I decided to delve deeper into understanding Bitcoin, hoping to uncover something new and intriguing to learn about. As it turned out, blockchain technology had a unique allure for me, which I believe is a technology promoting fairness and justice.
Furthermore, many individuals were leveraging Bitcoin's volatility for profit, and I decided to dip my toes into the world of buying and selling Bitcoin to see for myself. My initial investment incurred losses in the first week, but as time went on, I realized that Bitcoin prices could turn around, and the potential for profit always remained.
Understanding Bitcoin is like trading Bitcoin; it must be done at the right time.

You are absolutely right. There are a lot of instances that prove that giving time into something and letting the idea/thought/action/decision sit there allows realization and time to tinker with the possibilities it will bring. These days Bitcoin is receiving a lot of attention and acceptance from different people and country, hence those who heard about it before are curious about it again.
People change their perception with time and those who don't are being foolish. But being strict about own money and not investing in risky assets is not a wrong approach for most traders and investors. In short, bitcoin is known to be profitable to it's old timers but difficult to be accepted by new comers. This will not change easily because a lot of negative views drag bitcoin down than bringing it up. Still we know that Bitcoin is the future asset to hold and hence we do, this can be learnt gradually by reading the charts and observing.

What is your reason for investing in bitcoin? I guess it's profit and it's everyone's need. I mean if you recommend bitcoin to others but don't talk about its benefits but just recommend it through game, website...Will that work? When we want others to be interested in what we recommend, we need to see if they have a need and when it comes to profits, no one refuses. But speaking of other things I don't think it would work if they didn't have a need for it.
I can definitely relate to that. It can be challenging when others doubt your success unless they see it themselves. Once they see it, though, they tend to ask many questions and may even be skeptical about how it's possible. It's understandable that it can be difficult to teach someone who is only interested in convenience, but patience and persistence can pay off in the end. Through the numerous people I have talked to, I see that many want to jump into the profitable part and are not willing to work to learn the process, but those who do are often rewarded in the long run. 
What do you think about this?
Introducing Bitcoin to someone is good for the growing demand on the market, but that's not always a good thing, because in the future when something happens, and he can't face the market consequence, he will blame you and may ask you to return his money. Maybe the best way to acquaint Bitcoin to someone is to introduce him to something like a website, game, or anything where the payment is Bitcoin. Make him like the game you introduce, so when he needs chips or game souvenirs, he must use Bitcoin to pay. I believe you don't need to tell him anything about bitcoin, he will find himself what is bitcoin and how to use it because he needs it.What is your reason for investing in bitcoin?

Also, by way of using games and some kind of souvenirs as means to introduce people to bitcoin is just another tedious path to embark on for someone that's just getting to know about a tech he is ignorant of. And by games, the perception of the person towards bitcoin might be confusing to something of a child's play. If we're to introduce anything aside from bitcoin to anyone for the first time we should make sure to use a mature but simplified means. I think that can help much better.
I think it is normal. there are many technique in marketing. in my point of view, your case just the same as banner that company put in the street. Actually we can manipulate people's mind, I will explain this to make it clear. when we spread information about a product to random people then they maybe not interested at the first time but the information about that product is already on their brain, day by day they will sometime thinking about it, and some of them will buy the product. for example, when we go to work, we usually only thinking about what we will do today, but today we see a new banner on the street about a new movie, today we don't interested in it, we keep see the banner everyday and then we start to curious about it, then some of us will interested to watch the movie. when we tell people about bitcoin it is okay if they are not interested yet in it because maybe they will change their mind. Avatar and signature in this forum also have the same role.
Marketing uses deep-rooted evolutionary clues, not tricks. Are those banners fabric sheets? Definitely not! Masterfully used, they exploit the brain's repetitious nature. My friend, neurological real estate is at stake.Your avatar and signature comparison is fantastic because they're like ancient tribal marks. Marks of identification, affiliation, and belief! And Bitcoin? Not a trend, but a revolution. A turning point in human exchange and worth! Like the discovery of fire or the wheel. Now ignoring it? Its their loss. However, history shows that adapters thrive.
Your point? Right on! Spread the word. Because even if they dont understand it today, enough repetition will make them know how important it is
It's a hassle, based on my experience.
But don't get me wrong, I always answer people's questions regarding about Bitcoin if they are really interested on investing on it, though some of my experiences are those kind of people that didn't make their own research well and ended up badmouthing Bitcoin because of its volatility, so I just agree to them and smile at them because arguing with them will just give me more headache.
In short, not all of the people who are going to ask you about Bitcoin will totally understand how it truly works, so we should expect that to avoid stress.

This is the way I act. I won't talk to you again about investing in bitcoin after I first told you about it and you refused to do as was advised. Repeating it would give the impression that I have a personal interest in your decision to purchase bitcoin.
Many people have the mentality that if you keep explaining anything about investing to them again, there must be more to it (they won't accept it right away). Even if they do, you are liable for any consequences that result from it (you forced them to invest in bitcoin when they weren't ready). Nobody wants that to happen to them, to blame them for investments gone wrong that their family or friends made because of them
As you said in your post, the best step to take is to give them some time. When they are prepared and have the funds, they will invest.

That's bullish! I have always believed that there is no need to force people to buy Bitcoin. Just share the information with them and give some time. This person will decide for himself whether he needs it or not.
The approach some people take to get their near ones in to crypto is force-feeding them with information and metrics. This approach is wrong, in my opinion. Rather if they show interest, introduce it to them and provide them the answers they seek. The impetus coming from the opposite party has the best conversion ratio from no-coiner to bitcoiner.
Hence I would agree with the OP on this. Just be humble and dont act like a tinfoil hat person trying some cyberpunk currency. Patience and time are important here because you are making a older person use a completely new method with their hard earned money that they have collected of years of toil.

3. We should always tell people to go do their own research about bitcoin after giving them some preaching about it. Doing their own research from with what they get online can strengthen their conviction about what they've have been told.

when you are preaching or telling people about Bitcoin, you should preach and tell them small about Bitcoin. allow them to go on research. self research and convention and understanding it true internet will be a good one. 3.

Well, this is the situation that always happens outside the forum. When someone happily introduces Bitcoin to people who have never been involved in Bitcoin, they seem to cover their ears and seem indifferent to what has just been said. This kind of thing is very common because they never knew about Bitcoin before.
Initially they refused it not without reason, human nature always looks indifferent to anything new, especially when it comes to finances. In his heart must have arisen curiosity that always crossed his mind about the information that had just been conveyed to him. This curiosity will encourage them to seek justification through Google or other credible sources, once they understand and potentially get a lot of benefits, right away they will offer to teach them how to use Bitcoin safely and profitably.

Education might work to attract some people to invest in crypto, but speculative bull runs have attracted more new believers. They're attracted by greed.
But the underlying tech and vision of decentralized finance keep them coming back for more and make them stay.

l think you are right. All investment supposed to be based on personal decision no matter who gave the advice, to avoid laying blame on someone else that reasonably does not matter. Bitcoin investment case should not be left out. The decision to make investment has to be entirely personal, not made by the adviser. It might take time and research before the person comes to conclusion. Once one has done one's part by giving all the vital advice, the rest should be left for the person to make perfect decision.
Truth be told that most times it is always the fault of the preacher preaching bitcoin and that is why I agree with you that we just always give it time and most times, ive noticed that people who preach bitcoin, always make it seem like there are consequences for failure to invest at a given time and also makethe entire bitcoin seems suspicious to their potential recruits.
There are countries were it's citizens are always very skeptical about online investments and my country is one of those countries where it's citizens are always very conscious about investing online because of the scams associated with it and just to mention that bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general are always associated with scammers and that's a major setback already and I will advice that people shouldn't make it seem like investing at a particular time is the only way to succeed because that will raise alot of curiosity.

I think this is a good topic and the story is also good, yes indeed we as btc investors don't hurt to tell people about bitcoin, yes, maybe at that time he was not interested in investing in btc, but there are times when he will also think and search know more about the knowledge and how to invest BTC properly, such as via the internet and so on and for sure sometimes it takes time to be able to receive BTC.
In my opinion, telling other people about BTC is a good thing as long as there is no coercion, but we also have to be anonymous, so that no one knows about all of our assets so that there are no unwanted things, such as crime and so on.
My approach is a bit different since I think differently about this whole topic. I believe someone shouldn't talk someone into it themselves unless the person one is talking to shows some interest up front, that is when you should shower him with every knowledge you have about it, whether it's the positive things or negative things, tell them about its benefits along with the risks involved, and let them know each and everything and then ask them to do their own research as well.In my opinion, telling other people about BTC is a good thing as long as there is no coercion, but we also have to be anonymous, so that no one knows about all of our assets so that there are no unwanted things, such as crime and so on.
I would never rush someone and just start discussing Bitcoin with them, it is a different thing if I'm having a conversation with someone and then there is a mention of Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies and the person asks me if I know what it is all about and then I will give my time and let him know what it is.
