Try to discuss it a bit with them, and if they seem interested, then give them some Bitcoin. Who's not gonna use free money?

Thats a good way to go about it but it wont be hard convincing people to try new thing aside someone who is already on the quest just needing someone to show the way but the issue is the bereaucracy in getting it into FIAT and thats what people are interested in. Another is the perception they already have that so far its not FIAT of any country then it will be illegal this added to the effort you are to encounter before then one probably needs to just keep to himself. The easiest is to get someone willing to take risk and ready to venture into it...

Most poeple simply dont use Bitcoin as ita hard as first to get your head around how it all works sending, receiving etc

When I explained it to my mum even she waa impressed on how it works.

People get impressed when they know it can be earned for free as well after some efforts, even i tried to explain it to some people without telling them that they can also earn it and they did not take any interest, but if i told someone that even he can earn it like me they took more interest in listening about it.

You cannot really convince people to start using a different currency.

If you really want too, show them your wallet...explain how Bitcoins work and the benefits of using them. You might even want to show different websites that already use Bitcoin as a payment processor as trust is the key here. If someone sees a well known company is accepting Bitcoin payments then they may be more inclined to start using it themselves!

Thats tue if you people are really interested on bitcoin currency then they gonna find ways
If we really want too teach them about crypto currency they ofcourse make sure that they can be familiar
with the coin they gonna use it for there sake and for the trust of the bitcoin they will using

These things is the best way to convince people which you could actually show some good stuffs and benefits that they could able to get from bitcoin. As you said if they got interested then for sure they would find ways to engage to bitcoin even more and its really up on your approach on how to convince them at the beginning.

The problem is that the majority of people still see Bitcoin as a joke. Many people think it's some kind of scam. Even now when I talk about it to friends, they laugh at me and think I'm crazy. If no one takes it seriously, it doesn't do much good.

This, my friends also see bitcoin as a MLM. They not believe bitcoin even i already show them that bitcoin is trustable and really profitable. Maybe we need to give them some satoshi like 0.01 for each person to use it.

Even how intelligent your friends are but if they are not open minded with new technology they will refuse to understand and under that situation you have no chance to convince your friend, at least you did your best to offer an opportunity so he cannot blame you.

thats right just for the sake of argument at least you just did try most of my friends really asking me how bitcoin works after seeing me that i earned extra so by showing them what bitcoin can bring will convince them to try.

Agree. As long as money involve. Or you earn money through it then the are conviced how did you earn. Then that would the start they start learning bitcoin and earning from it also investing from it Cheesy

Just discuss how it works, how you earn, and you to understand and contribute in bitcoin world.

I think it's depend on the people that you want convince. If that people is a jobless and want to earn money, you can easily convince them. Because with bitcoin, we can earn money too.

People don't really want them to convince let them show some interest on bitcoin and thats the right time you gonna teach them about crypto currency and you will appreciated what you already thought to them because you will see the result that they really learn on what you thought to them i like this the most.

Actually, first time when i also heard about bitcoin, so most of the negative thinking i have in my mind, but by chance i used it, than i recognized that bitcoin is best thing in present and also in future.
But about OP i am not convincing the people to use it, i show my work with my friends than they ask me what is Bitcoin? than i explain them, i think it is best way, if you show your work and than definitely people ask you.

thats right maybe much better to give them some ideas showing them how the coin works and how you benefits from it will turn their interest and they will be the one that will ask you about bitcoin.

Are you sure this is the way we should teach everyone around us about Bitcoin? If we want it to have even more success, we have to tell people about the CURRENCY part of it. Speaking to others about business doesn't always work, as most of us are lazy and won't even try to do something about it. We're being taught wrong about Bitcoin's uses, Bitcoin should be a currency first of all.

First of all, we are not telling that teach for Everyone about bitcoin in this style, as i said it, But letter bit it work.
Secondly, i really can't understand what you are saying? Sometime i ignore most of the posts which i can't understand, But can you please tell me what you want to explain.

Just tell them that all you need to make payments with BTC is to have a BTC address and the whole simplicity it provides which is why I really like it

yes this is what i did to get two of my friends into bitcoin. i taught them how to set up a wallet on their desktop and cell phone and asked them for their bitcoin address and then sent them $15 to get them going so they can see how bitcoin works.
also don't forget to show then where they can spend these coins because that is the whole point

and as for seeing it as MLM is not their fault, it is mainly because many have seen bitcoin first time when someone was trying to fool them into signing up under them in an MLM scam just to gain the referral commission.
