Well most of my family member are old and have no idea of digital money but i am sure if I make them understand then they will understand it better because they are not that fool and dumb that they couldn't understand this. Already my dad knows about digital money so bitcoin is almost similar to digital money he is using right now. So he would understand bitcoin better and I hope he will start using bitcoin very soon

Mostly family members have no idea what bitcoin and even if i explain to them that they will just reject my idea behind and they will take it as joke. So I will explain bitcoin only to my friends because they are tech sensitive and they Will understand the technology behind bitcoin nad already done are familiar with partial digital money like money which can be transferred online in paytm, mobikwik.

First is to have them get interested in bitcoin. How? Just show them proofs that bitcoin is a real money, My recommended proof is receipts that you exchange your bitcoin to your local currency (If you ever have one) cause this works for me.
What works for me are the stuffs that I buy online. When people starts noticing that I'm getting packages in the mail more frequently, they started joining the bitcoin groups that I'm in on facebook. Making them interested in earning bitcoins will surely make them pay more attention to every single thing that you say about bitcoins.We all have friends and family with different levels of understanding especially when it comes to technological advancements and explanations will certainly differ...like making them watch bitcoin explanatory youtube videos and the alike
I think guiding them yourself is far better than showing a Youtube video in front of them. They wouldn't appreciate that video, they can watch it any time they like. But you teaching them would be something they would appreciate, thus, making them pay attention to you (even if they aren't that interested). November 08, 2016, 07:49:25 AM
I can relate to this. Just recently I was telling my friend about Bitcoins. He normally is a avid reader but for the first time he was like what is this. At first even I was not really sure whats the right way to explain it. Then I decided to give him a example by giving him our local currency and telling him as simple it gets this is Bitcoins. It's a crypto currency and he understood it. Always use a example my Friend it works wonders
I did that too to a friend, unfortunately he just turn around after saying "okay". I even did a lot of example and showing it in our computer, but still, no good, I think it depends on the one you are talking with, sometimes people are not really interested, they just listen to what you want to say.
Hahaha I know this feeling initially when I started explaining people just walked away. They even used to make jokes about me. Then I decided to wage a bet and told I would buy a x product within a certain time using only btc, and I successfully did. The technique my friend here is how can you make the other person visualise it. Try and link with his needs and you shall win. Do try it.

After that, I'm sure they will ask you on how you obtain your bitcoins and more things about bitcoin itself, how it differs from fiat etc.
This will surely work if your main purpose is to share or for them to be aware of bitcoins existence.

the first thing is you need to find the correct time to explained to them, i think the most effective way is give them the demo directly, like how my friend introduced to me, he used his bitcoin to exchange it to fiat and in that minute the fiat appear in his bank account, your friends and family will be interested if you got proof that it can be used as money

most people do not know much about money, so you can talk all you want and once you come up with the subject money, then they go "oh so this is what this is about. you want my money. this is a scam right?". and if you tell them you do not want there money, you want to change the world, then they think you are stupid. if you tell them to just learn about it, they will see it as a waste of time and not do it. only few are interested and usually those are the people who somehow question most things and come to money one way or the other. bur people/sheep still wonder how they did it and think they could do it too.

When I talk about it with my friends/family. I start by saying that I'm studying something new. That I discovered something really great so I know they will be somehow interested, then start to explain the basics about it and what the advantages are, then that's it. Then i say to them that this is what they need. It is a necessity.

You are experiencing the same problem as me ?? Please, Let me know how to say it for my friend or family !!
IMO it's almost impossible to explain someone who have no idea about it what Bitcoin is and why it's good to buy it for the real money. I tried many times but I always hear something like this: " It's internet, you know, don't trust to what you see there, it's not real." ... Maybe only after you become rich due to Bitcoin, they'll hear you.

I usually it's just money on the Internet and they will all be like "Okay. I understand now." But some people still can't understand it so I explain much further. I say that like in the real world, there's also wallet, bank, and money on the Internet. Most of them asks where is my money and I say it's on my online wallet. There's no other way to show them that I actually have those money but to show them my wallet balance. I say that I could withdraw those money using my atm card.
I also point out the names of the people in my area that does bitcoin so they would know that Bitcoins is actually used by a lot of people and I'm not just a weird guy that's always in front of his PC.

talking about bitcoin is little difficult to our friends but it is worse when we do it in our family. friends understand our words because we always choose a friend who can understand the world like i do and family will get chances to scold us if they found it for any damaging or harmful reason

I don't talk about bitcoin with my family because few things are better to keep secret. Bitcoin is an extra investment I have made and looking for a good return in long term.
But frankly, do I need to tell everything to my family? I don't think so. Even my wife don't know about my bitcoin earning. I do it mostly from my office.
However, I have tried to tell my friends about bitcoin, but they seem to be less interested and hence I stopped talking about bitcoin with them.

Ifyou are using bitcoin then you will definitely earn wit it and will have a lot of earning ways, try to tell them about that earnings, they will also want to earn that amount which you are earning, I think it is the method which people of all around the world attract.First, I showed them a receipt which showed the money that I made when I sold some bitcoin.
Then, you tell them how you earned it online by studying and learning about bitcoin.
Lastly, when they have a grasp of how bitcoin works, you teach them ways of earning for themselves.
Money talks. People are hesitant about bitcoin because of the 'risks' of investing, but if you show them that you really can earn, then it would be easier to explain because you've already established that it can work.

i think that it would be the best to tell them that it is the new money that will allow you to make some good money in the future and that they should invest some fiat into it
Trying to explain it like that makes it sound like a ponzi scheme, and why in the world do everybody plan for bitcoin to be valued a lot in future if all
they want to do with it is to sell it ?! Show them info on cases of banks/gov cleaning out their clients accounts instead and explain how that can't happen with bitcoin..
I think the best idea on how to explain it the ones who are interested is to cite the history of "currency". It is really just numbers in the ledger to remind everyone who owes who. And that is what bitcoin precisely is. But when the people cannot imagine it so because they really think that money = wealth. They think that piece of paper really means something when really it is not. Wealth really in the world is owning big companies, land or something that would give you a great degree of generating money and power.

My parents are quite internet-savy. There's no problem with them.
But if you're not as lucky as me, you could just tell them it's the equivalent of online gold.

Well, I have tried to introduce them to the essential basis of this alternate financial system and most of my friends struggle too much to understand it. However I am not so worry about it, because most of us also can't understand how the fiat system works, but it does not prevent us from using fiat money every day, so I am convinced that sooner or later all of my friends will enjoy the benefits of bitcoin even without a complete understanding of its foundations.
People hesitate in entering into something which is very new to them and same goes with bitcoin too, if they find it simple then they will surely start using it.
At first if people heared something that are new to them they dont actually got interested into it unless theres a possibility that they would be interested to bitcoin since we are talking about money and people love money. They would probably got interest to it if they find that its easy to gain bitcoin but it needs some time and effort though.

I hope bitcoin is very different technology to understand, because here we have different types technical words to understand like mining, blockchain, wallet address. It will take some time to understand i hope will take more than one week for understanding. In beginning of bitcoin even it took me to understand more than 10 days now the system has many changes, so people understand it very clearly.BTC
