Not odd at all. Very common, I think.
After trying and failing to orange pill my friends and family for almost 8 years, the method I've arrived at is to just make sure they know that I have #Bitcoin and know a lot about it, and that I'll always be available if they have questions about it, or need help with it. That way, when they realize they need Bitcoin, I won't have annoyed them about it to the point that they'll continue to resist it despite their knowing that they need it.
So far, only some of my aunts and uncles have reached out to me with questions, but even after answering all of them, they still decided to store their value in real estate, since they're more comfortable with something they can touch than with unbreakable things like math, physics, and game theory. They're part of the Baby Boomer generation, so I'm not too surprised.
Ultimately, each person gets into Bitcoin when they're ready, and we can't rush that. The most we can do is let them know beforehand that we have the answers, and then be there for them when they have questions.
