Best way to introduce crypto?

All the excitement recently within the blockchain space recently has newcomers VERY interested. How are you explaining and helping guide people into a smooth introduction to crypto?

I've dabbled with breaking down how things work and what it actually is, but the main thing people really want is to know how to get into it. Are you just telling them about Coinbase and hoping for the best? Are you offering to sell them some? My recent thought was to show people some faucets they can easily earn some coin with to get a better understanding, but then there is ad dodging those dodgy ads..

HOW ARE YOU DOING IT STEEMIT??? How do YOU introduce new people to crypto?
