This is the most common opinion among non bitcoiners I meet. They feel that bitcoin's main purpose is gainz and that they have missed most of it.
If you talk about censorship resistance, people do not care.
First goal of a bitcoin apologist is to help them not to think of it as an "investment"

I agree. I think people need to truly understand the problem before they can see Bitcoin as a solution. Bitcoin doesn't solve anything if you don't understand the fiat. It's like morality, you don't think about it much, you just have it and it works for you. Until you encounter someone who starts asking questions like Socrates.

And yet, the first way most people encounter bitcoin is with a casino mindset.
I'm not sure I agree that we should first attempt to dissuade people of this way of thinking. Greed is a powerful motivator.
Speaking for myself, I certainly wouldn't have put as much time in to learning about bitcoin if it weren't for the greedy little gremlin in me who's hoping for $10 million per coin. It's not great, but it is real.

Expand their time horizon out to years. Talk about the benefits of a money that crosses borders and time.
