So I just ordered a pizza, pick up.
Walked into the shop, and there were 5 delivery guys and the boss all glued to their phones. Literally.
"Hey guys, whatchu doing?"
"Pokemon GO!"
After 5 mins of talking about Pokemon GO, which included 'showings-off' of recent rare Pokemon catches and discussing the nearest Pokestop, as well as how the red team owns the gym across the rd, I tell them about Steemit.
"Hey, you guys ever heard of Steemit?"
Heads don't move, sans response.
It is obviously Pokemon GO time and I am interrupting an important meeting of some sorts.
"OK, you guys heard of reddit?"
Finally, a response. I hear a resounding "yes" echoing through the store...
"Well check out Steemit.com, people are getting paid thousands of dollars just to post like you do on Reddit"
At this precise moment, a fevered, frantic tapping on phone screens ensues with renewed vigour, followed by a gradually increasing volume and chatter of things like...
"Holy shit that is crazy/what the hell/you mean people are getting paid to post like this/is the money real/for real?!"
"Yup! You guys should get on it, check it out!"
I leave the store.
TLDR - got a whole bunch of adult males who were so enthralled in their Pokemon GO app they could not even lift their heads up to speak, to get onto Steemit.
Ashame we don't have some sort of affiliate program ;-)
This was the look on their faces

Pokemon Go provides a good opportunity to talk about steemit but then everything is a good reason to talk about steemit ;)

Yea I think it is an open invitation to bring up Steemit if someone is playing with the Go. 'Cause technology. :P

Hahaha thoroughly enjoyed this. That is pretty much how my conversations at work have been.
"Have you heard of steemit?"
"No whats that?"
"It's like reddit, but you get paid. Here look I made a thousand dollars"
"WTF HOW DO I SIGNUP HOLY SHIT"
hahaha. Some people just don't get it though. As soon as you start talking about cryptocurrency, peoples brains shut off lol
