I was giving it away to spread the word about cryptocurrencies and to get people involved in the crypto world. So today the results are in, I offered it to over 300 people all that they would have to do is set up a wallet and send me their public key. Well now I am skint as I was swamped with messages......... no I am joking 1 person messaged me. yes 1 person from 300. So this is why I am not giving away my ethereum and what can I say about this? fuck'em fuck the lot of them haha I have tried to help but people just don't have any interest.

On a serious note this is pretty scary, it says to me that people are so brainwashed that they are literary the walking dead, Eat, sleep, work, repeat. The media and elite have turned people in to zombie sheep yes that's right zombie sheep. I was hoping for a mass revolution in the monetary system, a rebalancing of power and wealth but after this I think it may take longer than I first thought. If we as a population banded together we would be a powerful voice for change but the mass majority are more interested in their favourite reality television series.

I tell you what makes me more sad about society, I will ask friends and even family, what are your goals? what are your dreams? and most of the time the answer is "I don't know"

go and try this experiment for your self, see if you get similar results I found it very interesting.

Sort:  

£3400? Hmm interesting, what is that in $?

Talk soon!

Digital currencies scare the bejesus out of people because it puts the fiduciary responsibility into their hands. A lot of people aren't ready to be their own bank. Losing keys is a real thing and "hackers" might steal your moneys..Little do they know, the same cryptocurrency they are scared of can be used to buy their full identity on the dark web :)

Very true I think there is still a lot of work is to be done to make it easier for the mass majority to adopt crypto. It's already come on leaps and bounds , I remember 3 years ago buying my first bitcoins that I transferred to xrp, it was a shady peer to peer haha

What exactly is a necrophagist?

sad and crazy, don't be angry :) You have a mission to teach people now.. lol :D

Wow, maybe they're holding out for Bitcoin? 😝

Maybe if I offered bitcoin a more well known crypto people would of said yes but I didn't want to send small amounts as the fees may of been to high

I was on joking. Very generous of u and a good demonstration how some ppl don't see the opportunity's right in front of them

Yeah, don't be angry just be happy that you are ahead those zombie sheep. They would have lost their private keys any way, making my ether worth more through deflation.

Haha I'm not angry I'm just having a laugh being a bit sarcastic. I will still spread the good word of cryptos

This is a very interesting experiment that I will copy. But one question. Did your Facebook post really reach 300 people. If you spread the word via your personal profile, you can't be sure how many of your FB-friends actually saw it.
Nonetheless a great idea man.

Your right it might of not reached all of them but I think it would of reached a big portion of friends. I will follow you it will be interesting to see your results. What country are you based?

Hey, thanks for responding. I'm from Germany.

I'm guessing it depends on social circle as well as location. I don't like to catagrize people but most of my Facebook friends are working class you might find different results in middle and upper clsss social circles.

People need to try something new from these mundane life...they have to renew there mindset towards change.... as for me am a crypto billionaire. i will keep investing till Christ tarries

People do need to open their minds to new things and il be investing with you because I want more freedom in society not only as an investment

I've had similar experiences with people I know asking about Bitcoin, even signing up to an exchange through my affiliate link, then never buying any.

I'm editing a quick how to buy Bitcoin video for all the people that have been bugging me the last few months, but I wonder if any will actually listen or even try.

I understand how frustrating it can be once you've wrapped your head around the whole blockchain explosion and potential, and you're just trying to share the wealth with others who could benefit from it, but it all falls on deaf ears.

Like electronic mail and that interweb thingy, what do you mean by mouse?

you're right Dave. Then one person asks so you spend ages explaining it to them then another one asks and you spend ages explaining it to them. i was thinking of starting up a small course called introduction to bitcoin and charge about £50 for the day. I would show people how to buy and how to set up wallets ect but if i cant give away ether for free to my friends i doubt a course will generate interest. who you an affiliate with?

I'm in Canada so the best exchange for me is QuadrigaCX.
They have an easy online "Instant Equifax Verification" KYC process, so I don't have to send them my ID to do Interac Online e-Transfers directly from my bank account to buy BTC/ETH/LTC/BCH to use on other exchanges for trading.

It's the easiest site I've found so far, and doesn't require all that KYC ID BS.
You can transfer funds directly to the exchange from almost all Canadian banks and Credit unions once the Equifax soft credit check confirms your identity.

My affiliate link: https://www.quadrigacx.com/?ref=soov6a3sevlgs6vicq8r09vc

I think I get a small percentage of trading fees for any new users I sign up, so If anybody in Canada wants an easy way in on cryptos, please use my affiliate link above.
