I agree. It's a lost battle.

All you can do is start the fire in someone's brain to go down the bitcoin rabbit hole. Prerequisites for that to work : a curious mind and/or a distrust of the system.

Even if they do, it backfires in the short term for me. They get mad if the price dips. I’ve given up convincing anyone.
