The title says it all. I don't come from a wealthy family and there's very little attention paid to Bitcoin in my country - Pakistan. But they witnessed the transformation Bitcoin caused in my life within a period of 7 months. I bought 100 BTC back then in July 2013 and sold 40% of them in December. It was very hard to convince them but I believe you can only educate the masses through consistency and setting an example of yourself.
Fast forward to 31st March, 2014: My sister bought 5 BTC. My parents bought 10 BTC. My relatives and a guy who works for me bought 4 BTC in total. Now I know they are only in here for a solid return on their investment and not for the greater cause but I don't really blame them. Once they hodl and I've specifically told them to have a long-term approach, they sure are gonna read/research about it for the next 6 months. Maybe, this is how they they will believe in it. Maybe this is how we need to educate people around us about BTC. Be persistent and make the change on a personal level.
tl;dr, btc is gaining more momentum around the world than you think.
