...I've tried telling people about memo but they are immediately scared by the mention of Bitcoin, let alone explaining the whole BCH/BTC thing since they've only heard of Bitcoin.
Show them that is not scary, make a demo and help them set up an account.
I feel like it takes a certain kind of person to be using memo right now. I think mainstream users will come when the platform is ready. But yes, the faster the better.
Fully agree, currently memo user are of a certain world (eg crypto enthusiasts). Once there's more general use and funding on new accounts things should snowball.
