The Blockchain as we know has been around for a period of twelve years, for those who are standing right times flies, for those who were caught in the wrond end , time seems to stand still
For those who are joined last year during the Crypto Boom , this year is a sharp contrast to what happened last year, the market is in reds and for the past few months , no one have had any hopes for Lambo , we are settling for Fiat
This post was inspired by yesterday post by @fisteganos where he asked the Steemit a thought provoking question
What will happen if Crypto dies ?
Hi @ogochukwu
Thanks for sharing this inspiring article. I grabbed a whole lot of things from what you posted.
One of which is telling stories, i call it sharing your experience. Stories and experience is a powerful means of convincing people to do anything..
Again, very true. Branding is very important in trying to convince people. When we pass information the right way in different social media plartform, then we will see results.
Thanks for sharing @ogochukwu

I can’t quantify how happy I am to be going through this phase in the crypto space. At first, it was a shock like every departure from the norm. It was a strange feeling watching the value of your holdings reduce to almost nothing and it definitely took a while for it all to sink in. It is in this period I’ve been able to examine the flip side, compare both sides, and feel properly fortified for the coming years.
Many of us have experienced the power of crypto and blockchain and we should not cease to tell our stories. Don’t sell anything, just talk about yourself; who you were before and what difference is currently evident in your life.
The concept of blockchain and crypto can very easily be an uphill task for the outsiders and you’re right that storytelling can make this a lot easier!
Or maybe I’m just a biased storyteller 😆

When it comes to bias , what I have discovered that any story that you are telling online should be predicated on truth. We live in a era where people "bullsh*t radar " is way up.
If you are not totally honest they will find out eventually.
I understand what you mean by the lessons. What we have learnt in this space between December and now can't be taught in any investment school.

You've said it all bro'. We ain't started yet if all we do is misuse the blockchain like we're used to for the past 12 years. TBH, it's all dumb money being put into cryptocurrency with few people ever understanding the tech behind these currencies (the blockchain), and what it really stands to achieve -all thanks to the guys pitching "Buy bitcoin, it's going to 100k tomorrow." on YouTube.
Today, due to the wrong notion we have floating around, there's a 90% chance that every new project on the blockchain will suffer token devaluation after being enlisted on an exchange. Why not? Turns out the people clamouring for your token could care less for the solutions it brings.
I preach Blockchain of value. Not of price speculations of coins. Without acknowledging the value, we wouldn't have any story to tell.
By value, I'm talking grassroots. Value far outlives the rants about faster transactions, tax evasion, anonymity or the total control of wealth.
As we embrace the technology, let's take the time to grasp the philosophy behind it. And then the value we draw from it will be even more meaningful for everyday use. Evident enough to Bloom into success-stories and see mainstream adoption.
We would Moon way faster by appreciation, and the stories.

What you said about the devaluation is totally true. A lot of coins that ran ICO's lately have suffered huge loses. the one that shocked many people was WanChain because it is a solid project.
People expected it to hold some ground.
Just like you, I don't tell people of Moon, I tell them whats possible if they are committed and work hard. The real value will come when we make use of the technology instead of pursuing Moon.
Thanks for the awesome comment.

@ogochukwu you said it all bruv! The blockchain has come to stay. To me, Crypto too has come to stay. I strongly share your views on this subject and in fact it resonates with my most recent post; https://steemit.com/busy/@mosunomotunde/musings-about-the-new-reality.
Story telling via social media as you have said here, is one of the most powerful tool especially in the "Post-Truth" Era. It's the best and easiest way to share your experience and pull the world's focus to your own brand.
Thanks for this incredible post love. You absolutely made my day!

I follow McAfee on Twitter for the comic relief he abundantly offers there :)
Anyone that follows his advice must be new to the cryptosphere :)
Just like I said in the post by @fisteganos, it is not going to die in the sense people are predicting. The death/apocalypse may just more of a metamorphosis same way a caterpillar blossom into the most beautiful butterfly. There will always be a form of digital currency that is not regulated as fiat currently is.

I agree with the metamorphosis and I believe that it is something we really need now. A lot of things are going wrong in this Space and we need a semblance of sanity.

Sanity, oftentimes, spells regulation. Something I'm sure many in the space do not want to hear :).

@ogochukwu you have been a good story teller, and with all indication that's how you survived.
Yes we have to tell our story, but it must be the right way, at the right time and the right place.
The problem we have is that we fell to communicate our stories from our write ups, then branding of ourselves.
Thanks for this reposition of mindset.
Is been inspiring reading through your posts.
Thanks @ogochukwu.

Wonderful post @ogochukwu. Stories are great marketing tools that resonate and connect with many people hence driving action. Crypto and blockchain enthusiasts should definitely tell more uplifting stories to encourage adoption.

I agree with you about the story telling, the blockchain is a ledger for keeping record of digital activities . Only stories would make it interesting for future users to peruse.
I also learned something vital from your post #the psychology of different social media. I honestly didnt have that perspective of yours until now.
Thanks for this lovely one @ogochukwu

One thing i love about your blog post @ogochukwu is that you care about your readers, and thats why you always drop posts that is not just there to make a few steem, but to crate value, indeed you have recognized the patern of consumer relation. I had to read this word for word, truth be told, whenever someone asks me about steemit or crypto, its most atimes a long and dry conversation because i have not learned how to tell the success story of blockchain. I remember that i got into crypto because i said to myself, "if you can make it, i too can" . Of a truth, focusing only on moon day will leave one hopless and bitter, imagine if i had put all my trust that bitshares will moon..?
Thanks for this peace, it brought me back to this platform after a long while. Jisie ike Nwanne.

Oh man!!! This one is very powerful. I lack words to really express how i felt after reading this. Its a kind of motivational story which tries to bring all of us that believes that blockchain would still change the way things are in our todays world, all it needs is time to showcase the outcome and our efforts to make the time come faster, by being story tellers instead of taking the marketing path. No doubt, we gotta message bruv. 👍👍👍

Wow, to be honest I learnt a lot here
"If you are Involved with the Blockchain in any way and you want to get people onboard. Don't Sell to them. Tell them stories. Learn to extract Insights from your own personal journey and use it express the value of the Blockchain through content"
Not only this but I realized the aspect of story telling works perfectly especially with me when I wanna tell a live story I can write a full book but when it comes to marketable information, it seems very hard to write that much in one sitting

blockchain technology has brought in many massive adopters and there is urgent need to checkmate legitimacy, i guess that's what EOS is all about
