Are they interested in history? If so, show them how special bitcoin is, breaking a millenia long cycle of human history.
In the past, it was a big deal when the church was decoupled from the state.
That took hundreds of years. Now, for the first time since millenia, money is completely seperated from the state.
That´s a good approach, problem is that most people , they have no fk clue how the Fiat system works , and how big of a problem it has become. Or the implications of separating money from the state and what that implies. Most people nowadays they are nothing more than walking zombies. Also from my past engagements, the general idea I get whenever BTC is mentioned is that they are already late to the party. "Ohh I wish I would have bought it at $X"
