I follow these 3 steps/rules that I made:
1. Don't get aggressive:
A lot of bitcoin denier get VERY aggressive about how bitcoin is a scam, don't get aggressive. If they are too aggressive and mad, just change the subject for the moment. No need to waste time.
2. Make them doubt their convictions.
Make them doubt that bitcoin is a scam or doomed to fail. A couple of examples that I use are:
- This is comparable to when people wouldn't want to use their credit cards online because they were scared of fraud.
- Bitcoin is far from reaching it's full potential, mass adoption takes a lot of time. This is comparable to when Amazon just sold books or Google was nothing compared to Yahoo.. remember Yahoo? (laughs)
- Crypto currencies are the next steps in the evolution of payment : Barter -> Precious Metals -> Paper Money -> Plastic Cards -> Digital Money
3. Mention the Coinbase $10 when you buy $100 in Bitcoin and then let it simmer...
Let them think about it, they will so their research or ask around. Most will come back to you to get your code for the referral bonus.
Do you have other arguments that you use? I'd love to know.

i can at least understand those people,
why do they have to sell their time while others can just make money out of nothing, and take what they want, its not something idealists consider as part of a just world.
when the soviet union collapsed which was a strictly equal and communist society, a new russian elite emerged that were all billionaires, they had access to the printing press of the country and run it, i mean thats a smash in the face of people that work hard for their money and their country, so they are getting angry and want to control those people,
in russia these people then started to silently focus the economy on themselves, like building themselves superyachts with 7 inside swimming pools etc. instead of investing into the country,
people get emotional about these things for good reasons.
this is why vladimir putin is such a powerful president because he still has an ordinary jurist/economist avarage salary despte being the president of russia, although he has vast access of national assets.
