You are certainly correct, and I am crafting messages to a friend right now, one chunk at a time, to take him at his own pace, to a place he can take custody of his bitcoin.  Once he's done that I will guide him further.

Pretty intriguing that messages similar to this get sent to family and friends all over the world in all languages. I just wonder how many such messages are sent every day. 10? 100? 1000 or even more? I have really no idea. I just know that this is how it will start for many people: a peer telling them about some weird P2P electronic cash system.
