This is a good question, but I'd like to pose another one; how can I help Bitcoin spread everywhere? If I'm going to talk about Bitcoin, what sort of things should I say, what is effective? How do I measure my effectiveness?
Starting from this position, as a regular person, you can start to get to a place where what you do and say about Bitcoin actually helps get more people using it.
What you should not do is keep doing what you see other people doing, or approving of them. For example, stamping fiat money with "Buy Bitcoin" in red ink. This is the most stupid, infantile nonsense imaginable. Not only is it illegal, but it says nothing about how to actually buy Bitcoin! All it is is self gratifying infantilism. You should avoid anything like this, which is illegal, can't be measured, is sure not to get anyone on to Bitcoin and which if it does anything at all, casts Bitcoiners in the light of complete clueless idiots.
There is something else that simply must be faced; for the vast majority of people, there is literally nothing they can do outside their small circles to help. Everyone can't be POTUS, everyone can't be the hero in the movie. It may be that you can do nothing.
Does this mean you should not try? Obviously not, but you absolutely must incorporate into your thinking the discipline of measuring your effectiveness.
