Yes. Show them you think deeply about certain subjects, show that you know things about economics, privacy etc. that most people don't. It may spike their curiosity about where that knowledge comes from. They will see you as someone knowledgeable, they will want to know your opinion.
Instead of knocking on their door and trying to preach like a Jehovah's witness, show you know stuff and they will come knocking on yours.
And stay away from anything too 'conspiracist'. The conspiracy theories relating to money, government, CBDCs etc. may be true, but people are pattern recognizers, they have their biases and that's understandable - it's a time-saving heuristic, a shortcut that works 99% of the time and we're in the unfortunate 1% where it doesn't. If we continue to sound like wackos they will continue to ignore us. We can say the same things while sounding like the mainstream media (in terms of form, not content) normies are under the spell off.
I think you can make an even stronger statement: you can make all the legit, well-reasoned, factually consistent statements about why btc is great and important, and not be a complete, head-up-your-own-ass aggressive douchebag about it. You really can. The degree to which people do this in the coming years will correlate directly with how long it takes btc to take off on the next leg of its journey.
If you are an unrepetant asshole btc bagholder, think about it from a place of self-interest, if nothing else. All the other unrepetant assholes are already on board.
