I tried but i failed, nobody in my community gives a damn about bitcoin.
Oh well, who's gonna laugh when their fiat money turns into dust

Well first I tell how bitcoin works. With some animation is really for early explanation. And then I introduce this forum , I can earn some bits by posting. In my country, this is very unique. I explained them that with bitcoin I can purchase just like normal currency with some advantage ( fast transaction and low fee ). Bitcoin also can be complement just like gold with still it's price still unstable rather than gold
Do not even burden them with that technicall details that you can not understand too . It was easy to teach how to work with bitcoins for my brother, also my father now know it, but mom

Well, title say all to be honest. How would you introduce them to Bitcoin? Let's say they don't exactly have the technical know-how. I've been with Bitcoin for a while, but still don't understand it fully either, so this will help me as well along the way.
Thank you
Thank you
it is so hard to convince others to use bitcoin , especially the older people who dont want to change
I'm lazy when it comes to explaining things so I'll just tell them that bitcoin is money, and they will do the rest 
Google is just there.

Very easy. First I tell them that bitcoin is a internet money that can be used only in internet. Then I will present them how much is its value in confront of us dollar. This can be interesting. Then I will explain them how is produced and which has created it. At this point I will try to create a fond with which I will buy bitcoins for all the family explaining them that the value of them is expected (with high probability) to be increased. If the bitcoins are bought everything is done. The bitcoin is explained, understated and invested. Who want more can made a search in internet and learn everything he/she want.
I actually wouldnt introduce it at all. I mean my family knows i am into bitcoin thing, but they are not really interested in that. So i dont see the point in introducing them into it 
If they suddenly would like to know something they know whom to ask
If they suddenly would like to know something they know whom to ask I teach my friends, and they can't understand what I said..,
I think need to teach the basic of bitcoin first..

Great effort i think, it's same as like me when i introduce to my friends, they can't understand except who know about basic programming and who to know about "make money online". I just told them(who can't understand) to this site: https://bitcoin.org/id/faq
The things is must do is make their interest to bitcoin first, in my case i just tell story about bitcoin and the price, and i get their interest.
they only start paying attention by the time I mention it can increase in value and they can win money.
The neat thing is sharing bitcoin with family really happened during some of the lows. And now they are seeing actual gains on their BTC.
When someone is making money it will make them interested. So I guess mine is a happy story
Buy some pizza with BTC and then explain how bitcoins work whilst eating the pizza.
Everyone loves free pizza and will tolerate you boring them as long as you are feeding them
and they wont even listen you then, i think the best way is to make people try it out and see its benefitsEveryone loves free pizza and will tolerate you boring them as long as you are feeding them
ya right, if they know that the benefits of bitcoin can turn into money then they will attempt to find, like when my friend introduced me bitcoin
you can just tell them how it works as soon as they may need to use it.
If they understand bitcoin and how to use it properly then they will less likely do something that would cause their coins to be stolen when they start using it.

I explained bitcoin to my classmates and they all are interested in bitcoin and want to join this forum. They are very inspire by bitcoin.

I buy a new product with my bitcoins and use it in front of my friends and family. Those who are interested ask where I got it, and then ask how much I spent on it. My response is in bitcoins. eg it was just 0.10 bitcoins very decent deal.
And when they will compare with other site they will find its very less price and tell how bitcoin is very popular and how to transfer money in second anyware in the world

I even explained Bitcoin to my Grandmother and she was very interested about.
I said that can send money anywhere in the world almost instantaneously without it costing very much money. I've also compared it to precious metals as it is a storage of value
People will try to interest on bitcoin when we who had known bitcoin before knew how to spend bitcoin just like our local currency.
Here's my example : When I'm can earn some bitcoin , i'm decide to gamble a bit. At the end , I'm able to win big. So i'm decide to treat my classmate some foods. Ofcourse they will ask, why you're so generous to treat us ? Because of Bitcoin, I can treat you guys

teach the basics and let people make their own decisions!
