Ran into an old client in the gym today. She didn’t knew I quit yet so when I told ...

... her she asked me what I was doing now. I said to her I work with blockchain. With what?, she said slightly puzzled. I said: ‘with the technology behind Bitcoin!’ She then said: ‘Bitcoin, you better be careful with that!’. I said sure I will be. Little did she know that it already transformed my life for the better.

Five years from now, she’ll remember that conversation, wishing she’d paid more attention to what you were saying.

I'm hoping less than 5 :)

Smh, it baffles me how so few ppl are gung ho on blockchain. I was all for it as soon as i learned about it in 2011/2012. Though i kick myself for not having the balls to get some bitcoin. I wanted it! Asked for it!! But, somehow thought it would magically appear. Which it did not and i almost missed that boat! 😂 You are a visionary Mark. That's what i chalk it up to! Good for you for getting in big time!! It's gonna be crazy in cryptoland when the next wave rises. Have a great workout!! Catch you next time 🎶🌷👏

I lost 25 Bitcoin back when they were worth $1, so I understand. :)

Doh!!! 🤦‍♀️ Oh man. I bet i'd have done something silly like that too. Blockchain is a steep learning curve! 😂 EDIT! Oh my GOD! I had no idea it was a buck back then! that's a harsh reality...... no doubt i wanted them bad!! My intuition has always been bang on. Yikes. I never actually checked that until now. Gahhh... could have so got 100 bitcoin for each my kids as their college fun..... Good God! Excuse me while I take a moment here..... come on Steem Haha

It's scary how effective the FUD in the mainstream media can be at shifting pubic perception. I see the tide turning now that Chase Bank announced the JPM coin, stories seem to be leaning a bit more on the favorable side in regard to blockchain and crypto.

Thats the reaction you get from the most people, but one day they will realize that they were wrong :D

100%!

It's always the same old thing..." better be careful with that" "isn't that a ponzi?", "You will lose everything you have" "You are gambling away all your money"

Everytime I try to shill a project like Steemmonsters, STEEM, drugwars, anything at all related to blockchain I try to never mention bitcoin, because even though I know that the person will know what it is, it's very likely that, that person, already has a pre fabricated bad idea of bitcoin and the whole crypto space

You could have shown her your SMTs t-shirt as well :)

I doubt she would have understood :). Those icons, so dangerous!

lol if only she knew what she was missing behind that 'Bitcoin, you better be careful with that!’ line

She'll say one day 'I wish would have paid more attention' lol.

ehehe she will find out about it one day in the news when you are being interviewed eheheg

It's more likely she meant that you better be careful how you let it transform your life. 😆

LOL!

Yeah I'm an example of it but my vision is like this. It isn't any YouTube streamers fault. I did my research thought it was good so invested. If America didn't came with that seize of desist order I believe I didn't worked now too but have an office in den haag with a meeting room a room with almost free food and a lot of happy people. I would also setup a easy way to get cash into crypto and would have a chill cafe where you only can buy things with crypto. This would also the case with the almost free food in the office.

In this office I would educate people about crypto with others. The rent is paid or off the income of crypto from a special account.

The power should come from one of my projects and the food from an aquaponics garden.

Love the T-shirt:)
