Cryptocurrency and FAX machines....... do you see how similar they are?

my reply
I will give you my best answer. Quote the source as some anonymous user on STEEM.
Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency today is like email and websites were in 1993. The minority used them and depended on this technology. The general public did not.....
..having an email address or looking for a website was a novelty.
Cryptocurrency, privacy, and free exchange of value is a novelty still.
Consider how long faxes worked while alternative methods like email, and file attachments were present when fax machines still existed.
...you were not a legitimate business unless you had a fax.
Slowly over time, email killed the fax machine!
Today, hunting for fax paper is the novelty. "send it by fax" is now nonexistent.
Cryptocurrency and its importance is sneered at. too much doom and gloom in the public. cryptocurrency is not safe. cryptocurrency is used by drug lords and spammers and scammers.
Early adopters of cryptocurrency are growing. After the initial learning curve, very few leave it and forget about it
The world is changing. cryptocurrency has survived and proven it can last 10 years. It is 2019 and bitcoin was 2009.
What do you think the next 10 years will bring?
Open, audit-able, digital transactions, that can be analyzed, scrutinized, by anyone and everyone is what the world needs.
The only problem is lack of understanding and adoption.
That problem is being solved, evolved, and worked on daily by tens of thousands of people around the world.
The world economy is in trouble. The only way out of this trouble will be by open public ledgers such as cryptocurrency and blockchains
It is time to embrace, not a time to shun, this technology.
Imagine you can do all of this, while maintaining your identity pseudo-private, like the cash in your own jean pocket. Cryptocurrency is more legitimate than cash, and fully ready for the digital economy needed for the internet.
Drug lords? Scammers? Spammers? THEY are the minority. ..just that they just get the biggest publicity.
