RE: Conversations with a No-Coiner and Misconceptions about Crypto

in #cryptocurrency7 years ago (edited)

@emmyem84 This is interesting, I think most ppl have no idea about the potential of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology. That being said, I think that in 2018/2019 when cryptocurrencies and blockchain tech start going mainstream and showing usecases, then every1 will flood in. Sadly, I only talk to people online in Discord, Steemit and Telegram communities about crypto and I'm sure they feel the same way bc only a few ppl have taken the time to invest in cryptos and altcoins, make accounts on exchanges other than Coinbase, actually watch Youtube videos by DataDash, go on websites, read whitepapers interact with the online communities. I am grateful that we have these online communities and we are early in the game. I still try to talk with friends and family about it but ... If our friends don't listen to us, then we can still say "Oh, you know you are crying now that I made a ton of money in crypto, but don't say I didn't tell you so back then". I'm a college student and even my parents are very skeptical of cryptocurrencies and think its a fad and I'm just a young, dumb college kid who should find an internship (Which i probably still should :D) instead of wasting time researching and investing in cryptocurrencies. What bugs me the most is that my dad has this view that "Blockchain will succeed but cryptocurrencies are a fad", and even though there are alot of shitcoins, There are a lot of good cryptocurrency projects out there (Read my posts on some!) and I really think you can't have one without the other. They are complimentary to each other, especially alot of ERC-20 utility tokens that are inseperable from the Ethereum Blockchain. End Rant. Cheers :D

Yeah, mainly I try to talk to family and friends about it because I want them to get in on it too! All you can do is try to tell them about it, at some point they will realize you were right and then they cant blame you for them not getting involved earlier :)
