I honestly haven't noticed much difference, but my experiences are only online. My friends and family have no interest, and I stopped trying to influence them long ago.
Have you tried finding a Bitcoin meetup near you?
I personally put a large emphasis on making Bitcoin a real thing in reality. Even if it is just example transactions with other Bitcoin enthusiasts. I hate the idea of it being just an "investment" and an online circlejerk.

I have been thinking I should try to find a meet-up. Can you recommend a good source to find one in the metro NYC area?

You kidding? Metro NYC they should be everywhere!

I ended up creating my own experiences (opening actual brick and mortar businesses).
It's a nice experiment to see who are actually in it for the revolution and who still has a fiat mindset. Keep 100% of the coins received.
