That's a great approach to Bitcoin education! It's important to let people discover the magic of Bitcoin on their own terms and not force them into anything. By showing them the benefits of self-custody and offering guidance and support, we can help them make informed decisions and avoid falling prey to scams. Discussing these topics in public can also help to create a supportive community where people can learn from each other and share their experiences. It's important to remember that education is an ongoing process and we should always be open to learning and adapting our approach as new information and technologies emerge.
