I just had a discussion with my friends about cryptocurrency and Steem. Here are some quick thoughts:
After most of my friends said, "Mining what? How can you mine with computers? You have to mine with a pickaxe," I knew that people are still far from knowing/wanting to know anything about the crypto world.
Even the idea that they can get money for writing things they usually write on Facebook didn't help. My friends still laughed, not even trying to understand how it works.
More laughing.
I was worried already their health as laughing couldn't stop.
"Why are people proud of not understanding how things work?" I thought to myself and said something like, "Well, everyone was saying the same stuff about the internet 20 years ago."
I tried to explain that it is actually possible to cash out all the cryptocurrency and get some dollars/euros. I think I got their attention for a second or two but lost it again after I tried to explain basics of mining (I don't know more than basics myself).
I thought, "The world is far from going all-in on cryptocurrency just yet," as my friends were laughing from unreal currency.
Once again, I told how cool is Steemit and how can it bring some extra money. They seemed interested enough to listen, but not interested enough to make an effort.
That's when I understood that the majority of people want things served on a golden plate. Heck, they want that someone would put food in their mouth, chew that food, and even swallow it.
Sadly, Steemit (and crypto in general) is at the stage when we are still growing our food. And believe me, farming is not for everyone.
So, while my friends were still laughing, I was like "I know it's funny. It'll be even funnier when we will have to harvest all the cryptofood."
I just hope that Steemit is seeded in an arable land because I am starving.
Also, the more food we all produce, the more people will want to try growing cryptofood.
Even the lazy ones, who are not into anything new.
Also, enjoy the privilege to be one of the first people to be on the crypto ship. It will either sink like Titanic or swim to the moon. Both possibilities are legendary!
Or we can just make Kim Kardashian add some NSFW photos on Steemit and fly to the moon today.
Funny times!
