I have tried a couple of times but unfortunately I did not succeed. They always thought that bitcoin is a scam, a fraud. They are not open to new opportunities that might at least help them financially. They always say that how can it be a currency, it cant even be use as a payment for small quantities. It has even high fees just to transfer small amount compared to banks that almost transfer instantly with minimal cost or almost none if same bank. Sometimes they tell me that bitcoin has no real value bucause it can be classified as an asset or it is not backed up by anything. But for me, I strongly believe in bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general. I will not stop investing in it despite more people discourage me to do such.
As of this days, Its just the same I tried many times to my co workers but they are not open minded, they think that bitcoin is just a scam. Well, some of my friends are interested and some are not, but in a long way of my examination, they said that its a lots of things to be study and they will not continue to be part of this good opportunity. I would say that, they want to see first in order them to believed it, well as long as I never stooped believing on this good opportunity, someday I show to them that its not a scam and soon having a good profit will come if not today but in the future.

I have encouraged my dad. And today he is going to ivest thru me around 3000$. And i think also i did the same thing for 2-3 friends of mine
That good, if I had pushed my dad for investment but, I have not enough capital. because the investment requires a lot of capital.

For me, I just tell my friends about Bitcoin. Giving them information and ask them doing the research themselves. I do not encourage them. Because, if they fail, it is hard to be a good relationship again.

Actually, I do all time. I always recommend it to everyone I know, family, friends, co-workers. but not all of them react positively to the idea of bitcoin because they think it's like Forex and kinda of this stuff. It's not easy at all to convince people (indeed, it's easy to convince jobless lol ).

I encouraged my brother to join me on our venture to Bitcoinomics (for no other good term).
Bought when it was around $4100, flipped it to buy some ICOs though and have not realized the immediate 50% gain that happened in just a span of a week.
Currently we are both looking into expanding our portfolio to a more diversified one. Probably get some alts on the way.
P.S. We are small time investors who are believers now to the power of cryptos. Looking forward to a world with more options on money. (Not just the banks which always fucks us up).

yes I tried to convince my uncle but he thinks they will unplug it oneday and it will be worthless or as close to worthless as it doesn't matter 
Haha, negative thinker
I also told it to some of my friends, they are interested but when I told them that they need to invest money to but bitcoin then they lost interest. They only like to gain profit without investment.

Bitcoin price is shocking to me last four years ago and bitcoin price was $240 which was looking very costly and expensive to buy it. But if we see current price the we repent to that time why would not buy it to that time. I told to many people please buy it and hold for some years but didn't believe me and said to me it is fraud and finish after some time. but now it is out of range to buy and just see the dream that it will come back and will buy. Now there is less chance it will come back to buy again.

I came into contact with bitcoin from more than 1 years ago, it was one of my co introduced me to the bitcoin concept, this new concept was attracted, slowly to understand it and then start using it, now I have to my family, friends and colleagues recommend it it is a great invention.
I never try to convince them in investing because i dont want to be blame when something wrong happen. But i'll convince some of my friends to used bitcoin through joining in campaign, Also i'll explained them about investment and how can be earn to it.I never convince people because I think it's useless and I cannot see any advantages I get, and besides, in my surroundings no one understands about online business or online job. Not that I do not want to help other people. I just want to focus on doing what I have to do and I want to make my parents happy. Now is not the time to think about other people's problems, I myself have a lot of problems. But do not get me wrong first, if anyone asks me, surely I will answer and I will help as best I can.

I have convinced a few friends and family to invest in Ethereum and bitcoin. I gave them the tools and resources to make their own decision
They can always buy a fraction of a bitcoin. A 1% increase is the same amount of money
Well I tried to convince my friends in ETH not bitcoins because BTC is kind of expensive now as an asset ,the value is around $7.3K and still going up.
On the other hand ETH is $300 and is affordable to buy as an asset.
But investing or not it's on them , if they feel that investing in cryptos are risky then they should drop my suggestion.

Of course I used to advise some of my friends to invest in bitcoins, although I explained everything to them but they did not believe in it. They thought the risk was too great.

I tried for a while, but didn't succeeded. Hope that one day in the future they will regret a lot while I'll be just surfing in Carebean 
It always end in neglect when we tries to invite someone or to invite them to invest in bitcoin. They will only tell you the word scam without doing anything research. I hope in the future they won't regret it.

I don't encourage them to invest. I only make them aware of the existence of bitcoin so in that way if things get ugly, he/she wouldn't blame me for egging them to invest in it as they have made that in their own volition; also this preserves our friendship.
That's the smartest thing to do, I wouldn't even give any tips regarding security to people who are not very good with technology. The chance that they end up blaming you whenever they make a mistake themselves is just too big.
I would give advice to people who at least have some understanding of the technology behind it, but I usually mention that they don't have to take my word for it and look everything up.
Giving financial advice to friends is pretty risky in general imo.
