My neighbor wants XRP and doesn't care about BTC revolution, ideology etc. Showed him the XRP/BTC chart, doesn't care, wants fiat gains. So... I helped him get set up with an exchange, got a hardware wallet and told him "You're making a big mistake but I'll allow you to make it".
There's been a few moments where the light turned on and I could tell he's now viewing XRP as a shitcoin gamble.
Moral of the story: Don't write off people who are curious, lead and encourage them the best you can and allow them to make mistakes. Remember, most Bitcoin OG's burned their fingers on shitcoins before understanding bitcoin. It's still a rite of passage for many.
