Introducing Your Family and Friends to Cryptocurrency
When I first got involved in cryptocurrencies over four years ago, no one I knew in “real life” cared what Bitcoin was. And I didn’t bring it up in regular conversation, because I knew doing so would just lead to bemused looks or perhaps even some derogatory comments involving tulip bulbs and beanie babies. After a year or so, I introduced the topic to a few people I thought might be interested—mostly those who either had a tech background or an interest in investments. After my book on Bitcoin was released in 2015, a few family members and friends asked me about cryptocurrency; mostly, it seemed, to make polite conversation—like when a relative has an eccentric hobby and you feel obligated to ask about it when you see him. This year, however, I’ve noticed a shift: now people I know approach me to ask about Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. They want to know more about it, and usually want to know if it’s “too late” to get involved.
With the approaching holidays, many of us crypto-nerds will have opportunities to talk about our odd fascination with “Internet magic money.” Here are some tips to help you out.
